1t is to be regretted that the city of
st. Louis went Democratic by 10000
majority. The city is generally Re
publican by $4,000, and so it can be
truthfully said that there has been a
change of heart of some $4,000 voters
since the last election. Owing to the
difference between the last Republican
mayor and the colored voters it is said
that they went against the Republican
nominee almost in a body.

DEALERS DIDN'T TAKE LICENSE
Those Here Who Sell Amber Must
Come Across.

Parties here who sell the refreshing
fluid known as Gambler" as we'll as
other prohibition drinks, are still with
out city license, none of them having
called at the clerks office up to late
hour yesterday to thus comply with the
recent ordinance.
They will do so today, however, in
all probability.
The new law was really effective yes
terday morning, but probably the
dealers were allowed day of grace in
which to get up the fifty plunks to pay
tor the license.
It is understood that the dealers do
not object to the imposition Off license
tax; in fact, one of them wanted the
tax put at $3.50, but council thought
$50 quite sufficient. With half dozen
of these places here this tax will help
the city considerably.
Four places are now open, but there
will probably be two or three others
shortly unless the tax scares the new
fellows off entirely.
