SHOULD CLUB BARS PAY LlcEKsE2

| There is much indignation and some
sorrow among the social clubs of Chi
cago over the action of the city in re-
curing the suspension of liquor selling
by the clubs or the taking out of reg
uiar license for dram shops, The bar
presided over by an expert specialist in
the line of gin rickeys, mint juleps and
other beverages that cool while they
stimulate has been an institution in
the dozens OF organizations of which
the Union League. the Athletic and
Press clubs are representative. 1t was
a gentlemanly place TO take drink and
far preferable to the vulgar saloon With
its publicity and pleheian propinquities
Heretofore the club room bar has re-
manned distinct from ANYTHING so COM
mon as license to sell liquors The
order to procure such license was met
with sln indignant refusal. but when it
became fully understood that non
compliance meant prosecution as a
blind pig the Union League and Il
number of others made application for
licenses to operate dram shoI,s. Many
OF the others are standing out
against the new order, but are going
dry. The situation is full Of interest
to clubs operating bars with the under
standing that a license is unnecessary.
7 +;
other great clubs, where the bar is
source OF large profit as Well as a con-
yenence. there can be 10 reason why
the organization should rot pay for It's
privilege as an individual operating
dram shop is obliged To do. In fact it
is hard 10 see why q hundred men
should be permitted a special privilege
denied TO single person In case
where no public good is TO be derived
from granting such favors. In cases
where the public is 10 be benefited the
extension of special privileges is an in
terchange between the promoter and
the public. In the matter of bar its
operation Is an actual loss
to the revenues of the city and the state
tc the extent of the value of the license.
The United States government requires
the taking out CT a United States IL
cense before the bar may become an
annex TO the club rooms and there
really seems no good reason why the
state laws should not insist on license
for every bar in operation The per-
sonal liberty of ,he citizen to drink in
his home or at his club is not matter
for license. but l. he insists on drinking
at bar presided over by barkeeper
there seems no reason why he should |
not pay for his privilege.

SELLING LIQUOR TO DRUNKARDs

| tAnamosa Eurekal
| Elsewhere may be found the partic 3.
ulars of the death of f.ilten Jansen
whose neck was broken by a fall from
his wagon while he was in an intox-
icated condition. Probably his wife is
no worse but rather better off than she
has been for years past. In our
opinion any woman is better off with
out a drunken and abusive husband
than she is with him. But the fact
remains that human life has been
ended suddenly and shamefully because
of drink. The query naturally arises,
who is responsible for this tragedy?
That is @iifficult to determine, as .
matter of fact, hut it can be safely as
sumed. first, that he was largely re-
sponsible himself; any man who drinks
to excess is fool and he knows that
he is in greater or less measure ac-
countable for his folly. But, second,
is not the man who sold him drink al
so responsible? Probably the clerk
at Kilgore's saloon who testified that
Jansen came into his place drunk and
was refused a drink, feels as tho he
had had. a narrow escape from d.
rect responsibility for the death of Il
human being. The question is, then.
who did give him the liquor? And
whoever that man was, is he not
chargeable with direct Responsibilities
for the death OF a fellow man? This
may seem harsh, but is it not a fact
that if he had refused Jansen liquor
and every other man had refused him
liquor, would not he have been aliv,
today? Woe to him that giveth his
neighbor drink, that putteth the bottle
to him and maketh him drunken al
So" is 4 declaration of the divine law
that has a terrible meaning for tn
man who sold poor Jansen the drink
that ended his life, and if the con-
science of the seller does not smitA
him with the truth of this declaration
row, the day is surely coming when
it will.
Jansen was we'll known as n habitual
drinter and every saloonkeeper who
sold him liquor knowingly violated
the law every time he did it, and they
also wilfully violate the law every time
they sell to others who are habitua

THE UNION LABEL ORDNANCE.

An interesting Ease recently decided
by the supreme court of Tennessee is
reported in the current number OF the
Southwestern Reporter. The case bears
particularly upon the right of cities to
require the union label upon city print
ing, but practically covers the whole
ground of municipal contracts which
specify the employment of any speci-
fed class or organization. In view OF
the fact that a number of Iowa cities
have adopted ordinances similar TO that
of Nashville, the findings of the Ten
nessse court are of interest TO Iowa
municipalities. workingmen and Iowa
citizens generally.
Nashville had an ordinance requiring
that all city printing should bear the
union label. The Marshall G. Bruce
Company, nom union printers, made the
lowest bid for the city printing and fur
nished the stationery, but could not
furnish the label required by the ordi
nance. The city refused payment on
this account and the printing company
sued. The case went to the supreme
court. which decides that the city must
ray and pronounces the ordinance in
valid and unconstitutional. The fact
that the contract called for the union
label is set aside. because 1.-The provis-
ion In the contract and advertisement
that the goods would bear the union
label was invalid, illegal and void, and
bidders were not bound by the provis-
ion, but might ignore the same in max
ing their bids. and refuse to comply
with the same in executing their con-
tract"
In support of It's decision the court
cites decisions by the appellate courts
OF New York, Illinois, Georgia, Mis-
souri, and other states ard also of the
United States supreme court.
The decision of the Tennessee court
goes ON to state this this ordinance in
question violates section ! of the four
teenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States, which declares
that no state shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the privileges
Or immunities of citizens of the United
States; nor shall any state deprive any
person of life, liberty or property with
out due process of law. nor deny any
Ierson within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws and it violates |
the constitution of the state of Tennes-
see (article !, section I'D. This ordi-
nance limits the right of the board of |
public works to contract for the public |
printing for such of the city's offices as
use printed matter with the union label |
impressed on it. 1t limits competition, |
and was so intended. and of necessity |
increases the price for all such work. /
and hence is against public policy
The council cast upon the tax
payers an increased burden, solely be-
cause 1t had entered into combination
with certain class of persons doing
printing to restrict the privilege of bid
ding to such class, instead of leaving 1t

The RASCALS ARE OUT.

The democrats are no! likely to gair
greatly by reviving the old-time war
cry of the Blaine Cleveland campaign
to turn the rascals out" 1t will be a
matter of memory to the older voters
and of simple historical research TO the
younger ones to show that the assumed
"rascals" turned out to give the demo
Gratis a chance to count the government
money accounted for and produced
every cent of public money. 1t is also
a matter of lively recollection by the
people that when the change from DEM
ocfatic to republican control was made
four years later there was little left to
count.
The derelictiops of postoffice officials
to give the democrats their chance The
evident crookedness of these officials
seemed TO call for the resurrection of
the old time slogan. They assumed
that the administered ton would endearor
to hide the defalcation OF its subordi-
mates lest the disclosures should create
distrust in the public mind and weaken
public confidence in the PARTY in power.
From a democratic standpoint this view
was the natural one and in keeping
with democratic tradition. They reck-
oned however. without the intelligence
and courage of Roosevelt and the re-
publican party.
1.-THE "rascals' are not only being
turned out, but thrown out. The head
and front of the offending. an appointee

lowing him. Roosevelt is cleaning

publication will be complete and viii
have been accomplished without favor
or whitewash.
There is no democratic capital to be
made out of the postal frauds. On the
contrary the sincerity with which the
government has taken MP the cleansing
process and the activity with which it
+ being carried on will add to the con-
Idence in which the administration is
aeld by the honest men of all parties.
There is no nervousness in republican
ranks. Their alignment is perfect and
the cry of rascality has already been
net and rendered untrue and useless to
the enemy by the punishment of fraud
wherever it has been exposed. The
'"rascals" are out and VIII be kept out.

The Cedar Rapids Republican has
come to the conclusion that by taking

state executive council. one can arrive
reasonably we'll at the range of land
values in Iowa. Generally speaking the
counties that stand the highest in this
list are the counties in which lands are
the most desirable, that is the most
valuable. The soil conditions and the
commercial conditions that obtain in
the counties are fairly accurately rep
