4 MEXICAN ADVOCATES Of munich
4 pal ownership are sadly behind the
times. in all the arguments on the
affirmative side Of the question The
Herald has noticed nothing in favor
of city ownership of saloons This is
the step taken by the mayor and coun-
ell of Davenport, England. arr its
workings win be watched with great
interest all over the world. Devon
port owns its street railway system, its
waterworks and lighting plant. Still.
it wasn't satisfied.
While the saloons can hardly be
classed as public utilities. ire mayor
thought some good would accrue to the
public through their requirement by
the city, and he recommended the pur-
chase. The council, according to the
Municipal Journal and Engineer.
agreed with him. The plan of opera
ton is interesting. Instead of grant
ing licenses to individuals. the city
grants licenses to itself, allowing the
applicant to run the business under
Terms of tenancy are fixed so as to
prevent abuses and secure the purity
of the liquor supply. The managers are
required to keep non-alcoholic bever-
ages, also so that one kind is as easy
TO get as the other. A liberal pro-
portion Of the receipts goes into the
public treasury to assist in the reduc-
ton of taxes. Sunday closing is en-
forced under this system as it could be
enforced under no other, and it is be-
iieved very beneficial results win fol-
low.
Most Americans viii be struck with
the radicalness of the innovation. Many
very excellent people consider the lie
uor traffic illegal under any circum-
stances, on week days as well as on
Sundays. They would not look with
favor on municipal grog shops, and
neither would people generally. 1t
might benefit a city greatly to own
all the dry goods stores within its lin
its. but nobody would seriously ad-
vocate municipal ownership of dry
goods stores.
The saloon question is a puzzler all
over the world, and The Herald doesn't
desire to pass final judgment on the
Davenport experiment without further
light. Perhaps the problem has been
solved. perhaps it hasn't. Time alone
can tell.

The Wrong Mr.. Wright" For Beres-
ford would heal anything except a
broken leg. This comedian kept a light
audience in an aggravated state of
hilarity for three hours last night. He
was assisted by Broadhurst's comedy
and a company of interesting perform
ers.

wealthy Sar Franciscan who. in order
to scoop" a detective agency. goes out
on still hunt for his defaulting cash
Ter To disguise his identity. he takes
the name of Wright. The forger also
has assumed that name, and. of course.
the detectives take the man of wealth
for the forger. The complications that
follow form the basis of the farce and
the whole is laughable enough for the
most exacting.

DIED OF IMPROVEMENTS.

An uptown physician tells of a Ger
man friend. a poour journeyman ba-
ker, who sent his wife to a local hospi-
tai when she fell i'll. The physician al
ways asked with interest after the con-
dtion of the sick woman when he met
the German, and was told in reply.
well, doctor, they say at the hospital
there's improvement" This reply did
not vary from day to day for month
or more, and was always spoken by
the German very stolidly. as though
he really did not see in the report any
grounds for hope. Then one morn
ing meeting the physician and being
asked the usual question, he said:
20, she's dead, doctor"
"Dead?" repeated the physician.
What do they say she died OFF,
They didn't say-they didn't have
to-" answered the German. Il knew.
She died of too many improvements"

With Senator Crabbe entering the list
OF possible candidates for Delegate,
there promises to be no lack Of good
material for the party to draw upon in
fighting Wilcox. The Bulletin has felt
that Crabbe's position as a hold-over
Senator would lead the party to let
well enough alone and not run the risk
OF losing its present hold in the local
Legislature. Should the Home Rule
forces by any mistake come together
and thereby put Prince Cupid out of the
contest in any way, the Republicans
need to do some close figuring on pos
sibilities. Senator Crabbe is undoubt-
eddy capable Of carrying the RESPONSE
bilities OF the Delegateship, but it is a
question whether the party can afford
to run the chance Of losing its hold in
the Senate which seems to be the objeC-
tive point of the opposition forces.
