No Good in Saloons.

The Kane county, H., grand
jury in its report to the circuit
court few days ago among other
things said:
In view OF the present wide
spread agitation upon the saloon
question this grand jury feels it a
duty to report that in many cases
brought before us q few drinks of
liquor have preceded the tronble.
The expenses of this jury, Of the
States attorneys and stenogra.
pliers together with the court ex.
penses which must follow in order
to adequately punish the men we
have indicted therefore apparently
flow in great measure from the
presence of saloons open to young
men who do not know how to re-
strain themselves.
THIS grand jury offers no advice,
but desires only to call attention
to the waste Of time and taxes in
caring for petty crime whose i'm.
mediate source seems to be the
open saloon.
