Permit to Peoples Gas and
Coke Company

"a new gas company will be boon.
I know that the company is ready to
deliver gas and I consider that it is
our duty to grant this permit" said
Fire Commissioner Martin Betkousli
at the meeting of the fire board yes
terday.
The debate in regard to the grant
ing of the permit waxed rather warm,
but the members of the board finally
decided to allow the Peoples Gas and
Coke company to erect plant on St.
John street. Robert A. Todd, attor-
ney for the Los Angeles Gas and Elec-
trio company, protested against the
granting of the permit for the reason
that the city attorney had not yet
returned an opinion. The board de-
cided no opinion was necessary and
voted favorably to the Peoples Gas
company.
A. d. Warner, representing thirty
property owners, appeared before the
commission, but he was not allowed

The application of A. II. Hess to
change the location of his planning mill

avenue between Avenues 50 and go was
held over one week. A delegation of
the residents of the section in which

protest against it's relocation in that
neighborhood for the reason that it
is strictly a residence section of the
city.
Hess was originally granted permit
to operate a small power gasoline en-
gine for the purpose of finishing small
stuff that he used in his work as car
penter. Instead of installing the en-
gine that he had specified Hess is al
legged to have put in a twenty-five
horsepower mahcine and to have done
commercial work with it.
Mayor McAleer has saved Hess per-
init from being revoked whenever the
latter has appeared before the board
of fire commissioners. He will have
another hearing next week and in the
meantime he will endeavor to find a
location in a business or manufacture
ing section of the city where the pro-
test against the existence of his plan
ing mill will not be so strong.

il the ssirrepressible conflict, .
and as long as men continue to
have consciences the question
will be up for judgment until it
is settled rightly. If every man
IN Milbank who believes that the
saloon is an evil will cast his
vote against it there will be no
question as to the result and the
saloons will be c | o s d. No
thoughtful man with any love
for bis fellows but recognizes
the terrible train of miseries
that is coupled on to the saloon
st its best. 1t IS the supreme
curse Of American life today.
IL the dollar was not held up SO
close to our eyes that we could
not see an ything else IN God s
universe-not even the larg-
or dollar beyond-we would long
ago have put this thing away
from US. The saloon has never
paid for it's keep in any commun-
ity. It is not going to break it's

Sisseton Standard: Mr.. Craw-
ford advertises himself as the
IaFollette of South Dakota. Now
let's see LaFollette was never
beaten for congress because peo-
ple we're dissatisfied with his ad-
ministration of a n important
public office, when the treasurer
had run away with all the state
money; and LaFollette was nev-
or the paid representative of a
great railroad company at the
state capitol; and LaFollette was
never on the state board of
equalization when the railroad
taxes we're reduced with the as
sistance of his own vote; and La
Toilette did not begin to preach
reform just when he discovered
that he wanted to be governor;
and LaFollette never had a job
dealing out passes for the rail
road companies at q fat salary
and LaFOllette's n f u n c S
around the state capitol never
tended to defeat righteous rail
road Legislation. Well t h n,
where is the comparison?
