pany was modelled after one OF the
greatest financial institutions In the
country-the Illinois Trust and Savings
bank of Chicago. For practical pur-
poses 1t did not make any difference
whether the Southern Trust company
bore that name or whether 1t was
called the Southern bank.
He thought no trust company should
be permitted to deposit in any COM

He would not permit the amount to

DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE ADOPTS
STIRRING RESOLUTIONS
ADAM o. WARNER PROPOSES iM-
PoRTANT STEP
City Attorney Hewitt a Guest and
Makes Plea for Clean Politics
and Anti-Machine Par
tlsanship

With cheers and enthusiasm the menu
bers of the Democratic league, who met
at the weekly lunch at the Westminster
yesterday, heard Adam ID. Warner read
long resolution indorsing Jeffersonian
Democracy and it's exemplar, William
Jennings Bryan. The resolution was
adopted unanimously.
In the absence of the president T. e.
Gibbon, j. G.. Scarborough occupied the
chair. After the adoption of the resolu-
tions he called on City Attorney Leslie
%. Hewitt, a Republican non-partisan,
who was guest at the lunch.
Mr.. Hewitt spoke of the illusions to
Lincoln In the Warner resolutions and
remarked that II Democrats could find
so much in Lincoln that was good for
them 1t was certainly we'll for Repub-
licans to turn to him. Just as Lincoln
is esteemed by men of all parties in
these days, because he represented the
Republicanism of his day, so may the
Republican leader of today be regarded
twenty years hence. 1t is now q time
when men of all parties can meet on a
common ground for high ideals, for the
best men, for clean politics. Clean poll
tics, he said, was nQn-partisan. Politi-
cal machines are also non-partisan. In
the Democratic ranks there must be
constant effort for clean politics, and
he said his element of the Republican
party (the Lincoln -Roosevelt) would
keep up Its fight to see that good men
were not Handicapped by corrupt ma
chimes.
Madison B. Jones, chairman of the
committee making the arrangements
for attending the Denver convention,
reported that further progress could not
be made until the number attending
was ascertained. To do this a letter of
inquiry will be mailed this week. The
committee was authorized to extend
the arrangements to all Democrats
whether members of the league or not.

DISCUSS LICENSE
FOR DANCE HALLS
coUNciLMEN ENDEAvOR TO
MAKE FAIR RATE
Only One Academy Proprietor Pays
Tax Now and City Attorney Ad.
vises Correcting Existing
Ordinance

The city council yesterday had a
lengthy discussion on license fees for
dance halls, proprietors of halls having
expressed willingness to pay a rea-
sonable amount.
The city's legal department made a
report brought out by the petition of
f. H. Soloman on behalf of the Grand
Avenue auditorium, asking that the
license on dance halls be reduced.
Public dance halls are now licensed
at the rate of 500 per day, $50 per month
or $3.50 per quarter. Licenses at the
foregoing rate have been demanded
from dancing academies and from those
who hold or conduct dances which ap-
parently are public, with the following
result:
Mr.. Solomon. the petitioner, who con-
ducts the Grand Avenue auditorium,
maintains a dancing academy where
dancing lessons are taught, and in con-
nection with which are given what are
apparently public dances or dances to
which general invitation is extended.
He has paid his license from the incep-
ton of his business some time last fall.
and is said to be the only person pay
ing regularly under the public dance
hall license requirement.
Mr.. Adams on South Main street paid
his license for January, and the city
attorney is informed that on account of
the high rate was unable to continue
his business, and is not now conducting
the same.
Mr.. Kramer on South Grand avenue
refused to pay the license, claiming
that he was not conducting public
dance house. His case was placed be-
fore the prosecuting attorney but up to
the present time has not instituted a
prosecution for violation of the license
ordinance.
Many of the dancing academies have
refused to pay license, claiming that
they were not conducting public dance
houses as contemplated by the ordi-
nance now in effect, and in many cases
the facts support their contention.
1t appears that the present section OF
the license ordinance was passed many
years ago when public dance houses In
some of which liquors were sold were
detrimental to the public morals, and
the license was placed at a high rate
for the purpose of discouraging and In
many cases prohibiting the business.
The reason for high rate of license
on public dance houses as such Is no
doubt apparent at the present time. the
citv attorney says, but with reference
to many dancing academies in Los An
geles, in connection with which gen.
eral invitational dances are offered, the
present high rate of license would seem
to be excessive.

TURN YOUR FACE
INTO DOLLARS
Many q Man Has Failed Because His
Face Was Picture of Calamity

1t takes sunshine to produce rose,
q perfect rose. And so man. to be
successful, must have sunshine inside.
The life which has it not, which has
no health and no happiness, is sour,
surly, pessimistic and failure. The
world already has too many vinegar
faces that breathe i'll will and strife.
The world wants joy, comfort. sun
shine and will cling to the man who
has it. who radiates gladness and tri-
umph wherever he is and under all
circumstances.
Some people have genius for seek
ing out the disagreeable, the crooked,
the bad and the ugly. These are the
destroyers they travel in schools they
herd together for they love their kind.
and the cheerful part of the world Will
have nothing to do with them.
And why is it that so many Ieddle
disaster knowing at the same time that
il they do their lives will be ruined?
Some people cannot help it. for pes
simism usually comes from bodily dis
orders, and this cannot always be pre-
vented. The stomach, for instance, is
the most common cause of discomfort,
sour face, recklessness. disgust and
lack of ambition. A bad stomach
there is the secret of many faiiure.
Anyone can have good stomach,
strong stomach, a stomach that can
take care of anything and everything
that is put into 1t, no matter whether
1t is a very bad stomach now or not.
Then why not have it?
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do this
very thing. One ingredient of these
little tablets digests 5000 grains OF food.
and no matter how bad is your dys-
pepsia or indigestion, these tablets will
digest everything in your stomach
thorouphlv and cOmpletely and better
and quicker than a healthy stomach
can do the same thing. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure quickly loss
of appetite, brash, irritation, burning
sensations, nausea, heartburn, eructa-
tions, loss of vim and spirit, bad MEM
ory. and dyspepsia and indigestion in
their very worst forms.
No other little tablets in the world
can do so much. You should carry
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets around with
you wherever you go and take them
after meals. Then only will you realize
what 1t is to enjoy a meal, and what
perfect digestion means. Your whole
body and your mind will feel the ef-
fects; your vim will increase, you will
be more satisfied with what the world
does, you will think happier and be
happier and your face will be one of
supreme contentment. That will bring
you success and then more success.

A Republican View.

No intelligent survey of the ma
tion's defenses against Organism
can blink the truth that they have
been greatly weakened during the
past four years. Its not possible
today to rally the conservative
forces OF the country in opposi-
tion to Bryan SO splendidly as in
1896. Everybody knows the
reason why. You can not revile
a man whom you have initiated.
A party that has appropriated
Bryan's ideas cannot. with good
effect, attack his person. AT the
very beginning of the republican
campaign. it is the part whether
of frankness or sound generalshir
to admit that power of resistance
to Bryan has been much broken
by four years of yielding to him.
President Roosevelt's avowed and
deliberate purpose has been to
head off Bryan by stealing his
issues. The argument. or threat,
which he has constantly used has
been; "If you do not go half
way with me, you will have to go
the whole way with Bryan" Well,
we see now what comes of the
plan of fighting a dangerous en-
emy by surrendering to him. The
Bryan who was to be extinguished
is exalted higher than ever.-New
York Evening Post.

Without any machine Mr..
Bryan managed to dominate the
