Excise Board Listens to Objections
Against New Place and Refuses
Application.

"A man who is not man enough to take
a drink in the open is not entitled to it,
was the announcement made by former
Excise COMMISSIONS Thomas r. Creole at
last nights meeting of the East Orange
Board Of Excise when he with the Rev.
David Q. Irving pastor of Bethel Presby-
terrain Church. East Orange; Linwood c.
ellis and other citizens opposed the gran.
of a license to Peter Book for the building
at AZ North Park street. MIR. Creole, who
is a commercial traveller, was speaking of
The recent anti-drinking wave which was
spreading over the country and he de-
clared the movement against saloons was
primarily due to the attitude of saloonmen
and he spoke for abolishing all screens in
windows and said that the man ashamed
10 be seen in a saloon should not be given
a drink.
Mr.. Creole declared that in his visits Ia
many cities he found that wide-oper
saloons had been replaced with prohibition,
and he did not mince words In putting the
blame on the saloon proprietors. He
claimed they did not make any especial
spectacle standing than they had, and tina
they had otherwise avoided any attempts
at lettering their conditions.
He spoke of Mayor Cardwell's directions
to him when he assumed office. The Mayor
he declared, was opposed to the new law
IN the city. permitting saloons to remain
optn uHtil- 1 o CLOCK III tue morning, HnO
had stated the privilege of keeping open
so late was a great mistake.
"The. Mayor also stated that when we
showed a tendency as an Excise Board tc
be clean and favor the uplift of the com.
munity we would be supported by thu
community he said.
The Rev. Mr.. Irving, whose church is in
the neighborhood where 1t was sought to
open the saloon. made an impressive
speech, and he said there was no need fol-
the place, as another saloon is nearby.
Mr.. ellis said the other saloon was ex-
actly SAB feet away, and he wondered
where the applicant expected to get his
patronage from.
Book, the applicant, admitted he had re-
ceived his check for the license fee from
a brewer and was to pay off the amount

will run IL next October, he said, in an

jected the license.
