SCRAP IN THE COUNCIL
OVER SALOON LICENSES
Final Result Was that F. +. sherman
and Bert Fletcher Each Sc
cured Renewals of Permits.

The petitions of F. f. Sherman
and Bert Fletcher, respectively, for
renewals of saloon licenses, presented
at the council meeting Monday
evening, was the occasion of an ex-
tensive discussion. Mr. Fletcher's
application Is for renewal in one
sense of the word. and in another. as
was urged strongly. 1t is for new
license. In the first instance, the APP
plication of Mr.. Sherman was turned
down, four of the council voting
against 1t. Fletcher's communica-
ton was then read, and after it had
been discussed at length and acted
upon, the Sherman application was
again called up on Councilman
Marsh's request the vote reconsidered
and the petition allowed.
Upon the reading of the Fletcher
application. Mr.. Dudley moved that
1t enot allowed He stated that some
months ago, the Puget Sound Brew
ing and Mailing company secured a
license to conduct the saloon at No. 7
North First street, and it was with
the understanding that all the en-
ployes of he old saloon management
were to be discharged, and others
who would conduct the place in a
more proper manner than it had been
run would be employed This agree
ment. he did not believe had been
kept, and he was opposed to giving
the saloon back into the first man
agement. Councilman Lane stated
that the applicants for these and
every other license were aware that
their places of business were to he
closed on SUNDAY, beginning with
some time in the near future. ard he
thought, since the city was greatly
in need of the revenue, the better
class of applicants should be ac-
commodated. Mr.. Sinclair stated
that he would oppose the granting of
the license to Fletcher for the reason
that the brewing company did not
fulfill its agreement to discharge the
Objectionable employees, including
Messrs. Turner and Fletcher. Mr..
Linbarger spoke in favor of granting
the license. and Mr.. Fletcher spoke
in his own behalf. After further
remarks by Councilmen Bull and
Thompson, the application was
granted, and the license will hence
forth be in the name of Bert
Fletcher instead of the Puget Sound
Brewing and Mailing COMPANY
difference which the general public
will hardly be able to distinguish.

OUR COUNTRY AND THE EFFORT
FOR PEACE.

II was, of course, expected that the
president would receive and welcome
the treaty commissioners; it was
proper that some warships should
bear and escort them to the place of
meeting But it was beautiful that
the men of New Hampshire should
receive them with open arms. They
represented the whole republic; their
acts were an earnest effort of the
great republics desire for peace
among the nations. More. ii gave
those plenipotentiaries an idea of the
republics yeomanry; of the charac-
ter of the men who, in a little more
than hundred years, have reduced
a wilderness we'll nigh as great in
area as all Europe outside of Russia,
to land of homes. where the temple
OF war is almost always closed: where
peace rules and justice has throne
1t Is pity that both delegations
could not. before beginning negotia-
tions, have made a tour of our coun-
try. TO mark what it really means
when mighty people are given the
duty TO govern themselves; to see
what absolute freedom of thought
accomplishes for nation; how much
more the full majesty Of a great peo-
pie counts than all the majesty of
kings.
We are glad that a consideration
or a treaty was to be on our soil. The
general impression which our coun-
try and its institutions will make
upon the Russians will be worth
much. while we suspect that the jap
anese plenipotentiaries will load
themselves down with what they will
see, for each one came with an idea
that IL they discovered anything in
the United States superior to what
they have at home. they would hold
1t for use on their return.
Their coming will give new pres
tige To our country in faraway lands.
for it will be explained to the humble
men OF the outside world that the
American people so much love peace
that they petitioned their president to
use his good Offices as president to
try to stop the sorrows of the great
war; that he responded, and for the
first time in history those far-off
powers selected our shores as a place
for negotiations. And following up
their inquiries they will learn that in
the United States are nearly 100000
600 people; that they fill the space
between the seas. and that all are
free--free to write, free to speak.
free to vote. free to grasp any honest
opportunity that the great country
presents. this will have its effect
upon the Russians, and especially
upon the master spirit that leads
Hussia's delegation. He has within
himself dual nature. He believes
in an absolute government, and at
the same time no haljoyo, In ;,.,;.>

STRONG ATTRACTION BOOKED.
ION the Bridge at Midnight" to Play
One Night Here.

Klimt and Gazzolo's 100000 pro-
ducition, ION the Bridge at Mid
night" is among the local bookings
to be seen here soon. This is the
successful comedy-drama that con-
lltains a reproduction Oh Chicago's
most celebrated feat of modern en-
gineering--the lift of jackknife
bridge over the Chicago river. Even
experts in engineering doubted that
this huge novelty would be sue
cess. but it's perfect practicability

GazzolO silenced doubters who heard
of their determination to introduce a
working model of the bridge in a
play. The stage bridge works as
perfectly as the original and opening
and closing as steamer passes.
makes one of the greatest stage eff
fects and achievements on the mod
ern stage. 1t took twenty men five
months to build this bridge scene
alone for "On the Bridge at Mid
night" but their work and the plans
of the producers were so perfect
that the scene passed without a hitch
the opening night in Chicago and of
course aroused the greatest enthusi-
asm. The entire river view, includ-
ing the bridge, is a masterpiece of
scene painting and construction. AS
the two huge sections of the road
way. the valves of the jackknife rise
to let steamer pass. audiences never
fail to bestow tremendous applause.
Much of this is. of course, due to the
development of the deeply interesting
story of the play at this point. the
story of the long. sad search of a
blind mother for her child stolen
when q baby. There are several i'm
mensely funny characters played by
well-known comedians and the rest

equal to the many demands of un-
