The Saloon a Public Insti-
tuition

Whether the saloon is a good or
right thing or not is question,
with a great many people. that is
akin TO the money question. they
don't know. A great many who
vote for saloons will tell you that
the municipality has to have the
money to help pay its running cx-
penses.
TO commence with, saloon
running under license laws is II
very different thing from Qpe in Il
state where there are no such laws.
A saloon everywhere is public
resort and has to be put under the
watchfulncss of Il policeman. That
is because it is Il dangerous insti-
tuition, amt it! 1t don't do to say
that Gettysburg or some other
town with Il saloon is getting along
all right without policeman. 1t
is the cities that require.thc olice..
man-and the larger the city tho
more policemen--and for which all
license laws are primarily intend.
ed. Does the saloon become a
good thing because the policeman,
or public sentiment, compels them
to be orderly!
Ask yourself again, What is y
saloon. Is it not place
at all times, and in all places
where truth, justice, godliness and
good will to your neighhor are
laughed at! Is it not the place
of all others-that is responsible
for your hoy becoming u drunk
ard Z. and the institution that teach.
es profanity, dishonor to parents
and that virtue is only u pasttime
intended for those who go to-
church!
We do not need to say a word
about ''prohibitian" to close every
saloon in the United Statess NQ
state has ever got q license law
placed upon its statute books that
was not put there by the voter.
And did that voter in every in:
stance believe that the saloon was
IL good thing! We believe thou
sands of them really thought oths
erwisc. They listened to the rum
brewers agents, who said or made
only two arguments aside from
the question of personal liberty'1
that are worthy of notice, viz: you
can't close them, and the state OF
municipality needs the iHeHey-
These two arguments we leave to
consider at some other time.
Show us the voter who would
license gambling house. But is
not tho saloon the schoolhouse Of
the gambler!A
If the saloon is an evil and o
detriment locally and individually,
it is reasonable to suppose that II
the voter would simply repeal ali
Of our liquor license laws and leave
our statute books blank on that
subject, saloons would close them
selves
For the only respectability they
have is that afforded by the license
laws.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT OVER
DEATH OF JOSEPH FREW

4 $4,000 damage suit has been be-
gun against the Rock Island road on
account Ief the death of the late Jo-
seph L.Ffew, of Davenport, who was
fatally hurt last February while act
ing as switch tender for the company
in this city. The litigation is filed in
the Scott county court by c. w. Neal,
who has been appointed administra-
tor of the estate of decedent. The
accident to the young man is alleged
to have been caused by his foot be-
coming fastened in a frog and hold
ing him till he was struck by a pas
senger train.
1t is claimed by the plaintiff that at
the time of the accident Frew was
working in part of the yard which
is directly underneath an overhang-
ing bridge, and that it was too dark
to work in and had no illumination
whatever. 1t is also stated that the
switches at that point were not prop
erly blocked and that the one in par
ticular which caused Frew's death
was blocked in such a manner as to
make it more dangerous than if it
were not blocked at all. The piece of
wood which was used to block it was
so small that enough space was left
between it and the rail to catch a
mans foot.

Turk Accepts RussIa's Demands.
MACEDoN1ANs ARE VERY HOPEFUL
They Expect to Achieve Their Liberation
from Turkish Rule.

London, Aug. 21.-AdviceS from
Macedonia represent the Bulgarian
revolutionists as being hopeful Of
achieving the liberation of the country
from Turkish rule. 1t is declared that
they are energetically supported from
beyond the Turkish border. COnsiGn-
ments of arms. ammunition and pro-
visions are constantly arriving. Incl
dents are related showing that the in
surgents and their supporters who are
not in arms are behaving with hero
ism. Their leaders are conducting op-
GRAFTON along a well-digeSted plan of
campaign.
They admit that circumstances arise
occasionally leading them to depart
from methods sanctioned in civilized
warfare, but they insist that they uni
formly spare women and children, eX-
cept when these fall victims to rail
way disasters or dynamite explosions.
One Macedonian writer accuses the
Turks of Spreading "lurid ruin from
the Black sea to the Adriatic" and
predicts that when Europe ascertains
the truth about the outrages commit
ted upon the Christians the govern
ments will be unable to restrain the
people from compelling Intervention.
At the Turkish embassy it was said:
"The Macedonian campaign is char
acterized by falSehoOd and barbarism.
The Turks are exercising all possible
restraint while defending their coun-
try against wreckers of railway trains,
bridpPS and abuildiOoS burners Of vii
lagos, robbers and murderers."

resemblance TO Darlington and had

STORY OF THE MUTINEERs
Firemen of the EastIand Say They Were
Fed on SwiII that Was Only
Fit for Hogs.

Benton HarbOr, Mich, Aug 21.-Ac-
cording to the story told by Glenn
Watson and EIwood Fleming, who are
confined in Jail on the charge that they
mutinied while hired as firemen on the
steamer Eastland because they were
not given mashed potatoes, the men
were justified in objecting to the man.
mer in which they were fed. They al
lege that they were sometimes given
swill and that this was served as if
they were hogs.
For some time" they say, Eve had
been unable to swallow the stuff set
before us, and we literally starved.
Meat was placed on our table covered
with -four; gravy was so rotten that
one of the men became nauseatcd while
at the table. The potatoes were full
of SCOT and dirt, and the soup which
we had sometimes could hardly be
eaten for the grease. We afterwards
found out that our meals were CLEAN
ings from the passengers tables, and
so this partly accounted for the
filthiness."

ROCK ISLAND ROAD TESTS
SMOKE CONSUMING DEVICE

\ test was made of the efficacy of
steam jets in abating the smoke of
locomotives at the roundhouse of the
Rock island road at Forty-seventh
street and Wentworth avenue in Chi
cago the other day. The occasion for
the test was the claim by the railroad
company was that the jets were not
affective enough to warrant their
general use c. W. Nellis. master me-
chanic of the Rock Island, and q. B.
FraveI. master mechanic of the Penn
sylvania, were present. The result of
the test was a reduction of more than
two-thirds of the smoking.
Boiler Inspector Blauey. who made
the test, said: The test would have
been much more satisfactory had the
road supplied us with better condi-
tions under which to make it. The en-
CINE was a poor one, and 1t was diff
cult to make steam satisfactorily"
Mr.. Nellis said: Il am powerless
to act in the matter. l merely make
my recommendations to Mr.. Goodnow,
our general manager. and he does as
he sees fit. If l had the authority l
should order that or some equally eff
fective appliance put on all the en-
gines tomorrow
Mr.. GoOdnow said: AS yet l have
received no report of the test. L
can say. for our road. though, that
we want to stop the smoke, and as
soon as we find the appliance that
will do ii. we will use it

NO CHANCE &c cR SIR THOMAS
Defender Not Only Sails Faster but Points

AS a result of the. trial the experts
believe that, blow high or low, the Re
lance will win this, the thirteenth,
series for the Americas cup. The
course was set fifteen miles southwest.
straight down the Jersey coast, and
return. At the very Start Captain Barr
cleverly outgeneraIed Captain Wringe,
sending the Reliance cver the line thir-
ty-three seconds behind the challenger,
but in the windwar1 berth. In the
first twenty minutes of sailing the de-
fender showed her windward qualities,
drawing up on even terms with the
challenger besides being about 200
yards to windward.
Then the storm broke and for thirty
minutes the rain came down in tor
rents. the wind meanwhile increasing
to twelve knots. When the storm had
passed the defender was seen to be
firmly established on the weather bow
of Shamrock III, and she was never
afterward headed.
During the last two hours of the
race the Reliance steadily increased
her lead, rounding the turn mile
ahead of Shamrock. Heading back for
home closed hauled she had just eached
the Shamrock, still outward bound,
when. it being apparent that the race
could not be finished in the time al
