ADJOURNING HOPES
NOW ON THE WANE

Grave doubts Of Congress adjourning
this week are entertained at the Capitol
today.
The House leaders, however. hold out
the hope that such action may be taken
Saturday afternoon. The fact that the
conferees- on the sundry civil apprOpria-
tion bill reached an agreement this after
noon and the further fact that some Of
the conferees on the pure food have
practically gotten together lead 10 the
conclusion that the chance for the states
men getting away on Saturday is good
The important matters which must yet
be disposed of are the railroad rate Dill
and the meat bill. II was said in the
House today that II has been practically
agreed that 10 attempt Will be made 10
bills.

The introduction Of an ordinance in

for liquor dealers is move along the
right line. 1t would certainly be better
for the community if the number of
saloons could be reduced and the ordi-
nance should be passed. 1t may posi-
bly, be necessary to make some compro.
mise, reducing the sum to $3.50 or $500,
tosecure the needed votes to pass the or
ainance and the friends of the movement
ought not to hesitate to do so if the
ordinance cannot be passed as intro
duced. A number of Michigan cities
have already taken this step, Albion
Sxing the city license at $500, Holland,
$500; Cadillac, 5000; Flint, $500; Hast
ing, $500; Charlotte, $525. At Cadillac

increase the amount as the number Of
