THE LICENSING OF SALOONS.

The licensing OF places In which
liquor may be sold has ever been a
troublesome problem to municipal
statesmen. There Is scarcely any
other feature of municipal government
that requires such an expenditure of
discretion. and calls for the exercise of
more prudence and patience. Some
cities have established a system, and
where that system is strictly adhered
to 1t relieves the situation OF some of
its strenuousness: but where city
has no system, but depends upon hap
hazard, chance, go-as-you- please or
favoritism. there is generally trouble,
and often injustice.
Tucson has no general system for
the licensing OF saloons that is worth
considering We understand that the
custom is for any one who desires 10
open a saloon. to obtain the permit or
Endorsement OF two members OF the
licensing committee of the city coun-
Ell, then present that document to the
tax collector. pay the necessary tax an
open up for business.
This custom. or system, II it can ,'e
called a system, is radically wrong,
We lake 1t for granted that no one
desires a saloon for next door neigh
Dor: and we believe that of right
rait rity OF the rroperty-owners In a
block ought to have the right to ex-
clude saloons from that block II they
feel SO disposed. In some cases saloons
are opened before the adjacent property
owners were given any intimation that
such a thing were in contemplation.
This is wrong. The owners OF prop
erty have rights that both saloon
keepers and municipal statesmen
should respect.
The proper course to pursue to pro-
cure a license should be to compel the
applicant to post notice on the door
of the building in which he purposes to
do business, for ten days; that for
ten days he should advertise In city
newspaper his intention to apply for
license to sell liquor in certain prem
ises; that at the expiration of that
time he should apply to the city coun-
ell and in the event OF a majority OF
the property holders OF the block not
entering objections, the council may
issue a license.
This system would be just and lib
eral. 1t would relieve the individual
members of the council who compose
the license committee OF pressure
that they ought not to be subjected to.
1t would extend the principle Of local
self government to the property hold
ers of the block. 1t would in no way
be unjust to the applicant for a IL
cense.
The members Of the city counci!
have no right to force an unwelcome
or an injurious neighbor on the prop
erty holders OF block. Saloons
ought not to be forced into residence
localities without the consent of the
people of the vicinity. If half the
saloons in Tucson were wiped out, no
one would suffer any great inconveni-
ence. But if the people Of a block
want a saloon in that particular local
ity, and the applicant for license Is
otherwise satisfactory to the council,
there ought to he no objection
to issuing it, The present Gus
tom of issuing licenses without the
consent of the people of the block is
decidedly bad. The plan we have sug-
gestcd. We think. would prove gener-
ally satisfactory.

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN.

Ability and audacity are the two
qualities which Herbert Spencer says
have enabled Joseph Chamberlain to
become the important character he Is
in British affairs. The statement inn
plies high compliment to Mr. Cham
berlain; 1t comedies his ability.
Adroitness and industry is the combin-
alton which has wrought so much for
Mr.. Chamberlain, according to the
judgment OF most men who do not
claim to be philosophers. as Mr.. Spen-
Ger does.
Joseph Chamberlain's eminence in
British affairs will appeal with so lit
tie force to history as he. None ever
appealed with SO little effect to the
higher emotions of his contemporaries,
unless it be one of his predecessors as
colonial secretary and Tory leader in
the House OF Commons-I.ord Castle
reagh. The latter. however. was an
aristocrat who eventually had grace
enough to cut his throat. while Joseph
was and is--an ironmonger. Castle
reagh and Chamberlain enjoyed in
common the distinction of being thor
oughly despised by the Irish people,
and of being regarded by that race as
traitors to their expressed convictions
on questions of Irish government.
There is nothing In Chamberlain s
career which entitled any student OF
his character or conduct to invest him
with the possession Of ability as that
term Is and ought to be used with
reference to those who are engaged in
public affairs. The fact that Herbert
Spencer credits him with 1t proves that
philosophers Judgment Of politi-
clans is not always to be relied on.
Chamberlain has never done a great
thing. He has done many cowardly,
many unprincipled, many infinitely
mean and many dangerous things. He
is credited with one great idea, which
| he has essayed to put into execution
through his work in public life. When
that thing has been accomplished,
there may be reason for calling Cham
berlain a man of ability. Uu to the
present time his career shows him to
be little better than an ingenious and
successful charlatan. The idea that
he is working on Is that of colonial
federation.
Mr. Chamberlain is a typical product
of his age, He represents the value
of nerve. Money and nerve will ac-
compish great things, and a man may
have both and be still man with the
ideas and aspirations OF a great man,
as the life Of Cecil Rhodes proved him
to be. Up to the present time. how
ever Mr.. Chamberlain's ability in po-
/ litical life is shown to be no more than
the ability in commercial life of any
successful commercial traveller who has
evolved into a successful promoter.

A m who had solved the servant
girl question by importing a buxom
young colored girl from Virginia went
out to give her orders for dinner n
day and was astounded to see the ne
gro sitting on the fioor with her hair,
or wool, standing out around her head
in a black and shiny nimbus. Not
hearing the approach of the mistress,
the servant went on with her occupa-
ton. which was pulling first n curly
lock and then another in II way that
suggested that she had either lost Il
fortune or got religion" The madam
stared n moment and then exclaimed;
For goodness sake. Betty. what are
you doing?'
The maid hurriedly scrambled to her
feet and answered:
"Oh, nothin'. ma'am. I'Ze got a sore
throat and was just tryin' to find the
lock what would pull mai palate up
and cure the tickle."-New York Times.

How to Form tn. Reading Habit.

In order to organize odd minutes into
fruitful our one must have a con
sistent scheme and keep the means of
carrying it out within reach. Zoe many
people read the books which come in
their way instead of putting them
selves in the way of getting the right
books. They buy and borrow without
thought or plan because they do not
understand that reading ought to be a
esour as well as Il recreation. De
eide in advance what books you will
read. and do not take up with those
which drift in your direction. Do not
burden yourself with a scheme so ex-
tensive that 1t discourages you; do not
at the start plan courses of reading so
vast that you are weighed down with
their magnitude. Begin in n quiet and
easy way by planning TO read consec-
utively n few books in some field which
interests you.-Hamilton W. Mabie in

not only the purpose of giving the state
