Otto Huber I'm Lime Light.

Otto Huber of this city early became
prominent in the affairs of the ma
tional brewers convention by intro
ducing a resolution yesterday after
noon saying the laws intended to reg
ulate the saloons are inadequate, some
being too lenient and some too severe,
resulting in either case in lax enforce
ment and in a deplorable increase in
the number of saloons, too often with
the financial assistance of brewers"
This excessive competition, says the
resolution, has induced such pernicious
conditions as to arouse the wave of
prohibition sentiment sweeping the
country
Practical reform of the saloon busi-
ness, the resolution declares, is one of
the most serious and difficult of all
social and economic problems. requir-
ing for its solution the earnest and fair
minded cooperation of the public as
well as of the civil authorities and men
interested in the business,
Raps Vicious Features.
1t is asserted that the relation of the
brewer to the saloon business is gen.
orally misunderstood. The resolution
provides:
THAT the United States Brewers as
sociation strongly disapproyes of the
vicious features of the saloon business
and looks with favor on true and prac-
tical reform as in harmony with the,
business interests of the substantial
brewers of the country.
THAT this association advises its
members to cooperate in removing the
objectionable features of the saloon,
land in establishing the business on the
substantial basis it deserves.
THAT these resolutions be published
!. as widely as possible,-in order that the
public may know the brewers stand
ready to. and can afford to, cooperate
: in every proper manner for the i'm
!. provement of the saloon business. be
