License but Privilege
The supreme court of this state has declared that a
license to engage the retailing Of Intoxicating liquors
is privilege It has said that the withholding of it
denies Of any right Again. it has declared that
to withdraw it after it has been granted deprives
of any property right that it is mere privilege
to start with and it is the province Of the community
to grant, withhold and withdraw that privilege Why,
this principle lies at the very foundation of the meaning
OF privilege. Webster says that privilege is "a pc
cular benefit advantage favor, right unity not
enjoyed by others by ALL special enjoyment an ad
vantage''
State Must Determine Who Shall Be Licensees
The above describes license and the lowest form of
license, recognized in the courts. It has been de-
clared by the supreme court that this license must

The Infamous Har

An ordinance has passed the council granting N
lopoy to the holders Of saloon licenses and giving the
holders the power of transferring these licenses.
1he second section of this ordinance provides that

LII who desire to get in the monopoly get o
licenses between this time and that and then they

The second section Of this piece of legislative rs

''Secton g. The owner or owners or his
or their legal representatives, OF license to
keep dramshOp or saloon shall have and
be given the right to renewal or reissue OF
such license at the same different place Of
business upon compliance with the ordinances
of the city of Chicago now in force or which
may hereafter be passed governing the hcens

However there are still few who have
failed to comply with this require
pent. Some of the walks, and es.
pecially those leading to the school
house are very much encroached upon
by over tapping weeds and grasses.
AS the owners of these properties are
good citizens, we belle We that it is a
mere oversight on their part that they
have not conformed to so reasonable
a requirement as that of keeping their
weeds cut down, and doubt not that
the same will be done in the near flu
ture. Weeds add to or detract from
the appearance of town just as much
