SALOON LICENSE MAY BE RAISED.
There Is Much Interest Manifested In
the Outcome Of Present Agitation
For Increase in License Fee.

With the Michigan Legislature in
session saloonkeepers are anxiously
waiting for the much discussed leg
islative measures which are to be in
troduced relative to the liquor
traffic. 1t is generally conceded
that there will be number of
measures offered for consideration.
1t is believed that there will be
introduced a bill increasing the
license charge from $500 to 1000.
Just how this measure is going to
fare is worrying the liquor dealers.
Strange as it may seem this is one OF
the bills which has divided tue
saloonists into two factions, one
favoring the bill, while another
is violently opposed to it.
When the last legislature was in
session the same bill was introduced
but died before it came up for q
vote.
Those saloonkeepers who favor
the new law reason that il the
license is increased it will shut out q
considerable number of saloonkeep.
ers, for to many this sum will be
prohibitive. They figure that with
a number of patrons of saloons the
same they will not lose in the long
run, for the patronage will be DIS
tributed among the few rather than
the many. A number OF breweries
throughout the state which control
many saloons are said to be backing
the till.
The income which is derived by
the various communities in the state
from liquor taxes will remain about
the same in either case, and it is
argued that there will be less trouble
in enforcing strict adherance to the
liquor laws.
Opposed to the introduction and
passage OF the new liquor law are
the scores OF smaller dealers who
would be unable TO put up the ne
cessary license fee OF 81, 900. The
saloonkeepers claim that it is against
the spirit of fairnes to make it im-
possible to do business because they
do not happen to have as much
money as their neighbors. --'
1t is also claimed that the increase
Of the license fee will foster many
"blind pigs" There will be many
saloonists in the state who will sell
liquor without paying high license,
and ia the end the revenue OF the
state will be decreased. The 'blind
pig" problem is one (which has
already caused much trouble, but
has now been brought to point
where but few can be found.
1t is hardly likely that the bill
will be acted upon before next
month, and in the in nterval it will be
possible for various parties in
terested to make known their
ideas 10 the representatives whom
they helped elect.

THE BOY WEBSTER.

The childhood of Daniel Webster did
not show the man. He was a crying
baby and a pale, weak, sickly boy the
slimmest child in the family; but at
manhood he had a large, stately frame,
massive head, and an iron consti-
tuition. The change had been effected
by working on his fathers farm, in.
duiging In outdoor sports, and living a
frugal temperate life. So robust and
large was his body and so i'm ressive
was his walk that the coal heueers in
at him as he passed them.
Sydney Smith likened him to "a
steam engine in trousers" adding, "He
is living lie, because no man on
earth could be as wise as he looked.
Carlyle called him parliamentary
Hercules" whom "one could incline at
sight to back against the world
Perhaps the greatest physical com
pliment he ever received was that paid
to his mountain of a head. When Thor
waldsen. the Danish sculptor, saw
| Webster's bust in Powers studio in
| Rome, he exclaimed: 20. a design
for Jupiter, / see!" With difficulty he
was made to believe that it was the
head OF an American.
Webster's early life contradicts the
| popular notion that man is the crea
ture of circumstances. He, on the con
| trary, made circumstances his crea
lures. One of his friends, writing aftei
his death. said: His school time was
much interrupted and from his own
| lips | learned that Webster's struggle
for an education was from his early
childhood to his thirtieth year. Every
step in advance was contested by Oh

THE ORIGIN OF GOTHAM.
Housekeeper.

hOuSekeeper.
This name, Gotham, was first ap-
piled to the city of Manhattan in a
book of humorous sketches called
"salmagYndi," written about 1907 by
Washington Irving in collaboration
with his brother Peter and the poet
Paulding. 1t was evidently intended
to suggest that the people of New
York made undue pretensions to wis
dom, and that there were both satire
and wit in the suggestion is shown by
the story of the original Gothamites.
Gatham was parish in Nottingham
shire, England. The old story tells
how King John wished to pass through
the parish, but the people there, fancy
ing that the passage of the king over a
route made 1t public road, decided
to prevent the transit by all pretend
ing to be crazy. Therefore, when the
king and his party arrived they found
every one of the Inhabitants employed
In some peculiarly foolish task. Thus,
a number were joining hands around
thorn bush to keep a cuckoo from
getting away some were trying to
drown an eel, others dipping water

MAKES PAPER MiLkpAlLs.

Washington Post.
A recently organized company, con-
sisting of some of the best-known
capitalists of this city, has made a
proposition to Health Officer Wood
ward that it supply daily for use by
local milk dealers paper pals in which
milk can be delivered to consumers
without danger of infection.
DIR. Woodward says he believes the
proposition practicable. II it can be
shown that the milk will not be sus-
ceptible to the chemicals used in the
preparation of the pals, he says, the
system viii be approved by the health
department.
This method of handling milk is now
being tested in London, and, from re-
cent reports is said to be highly sat
isfactory.
These pals are sterilized in fur
mace heated up to 500 degrees Fahren-
heit. Each has a close-fitting, Hanged
cover. which can be quickly adjusted
and when fixed, effectually- seals the
milk. These pals can, of course. be
used only once. They will be cheaper
than metal pals, pitchers and glass
bottles and will occasion less incon-
venience.
These pals are said to be absolute
ly proof against germs. DR.. Wood
ward states that If it is shown by
a reputable chemist that no injurious
substances are used in their manu-
facture they will he accepted by the
health department. In all probability
the attention of the milk commission
will be directed to the project.
