brings forcibly to mind the experience
of the writer covering the same time

transpiring. that was both ludicrous
and disappointing. Being exceedingly
anxious to have the city council show
a positive determination or reform the
saloon business of Cairo. not only for
the sake of the city as whole but the
business itself as well. having in mind
the possible radical results of the
local option election In April. ! select
ed the very man referred to in that
article and decided to make person
al appeal to several aldermen not to
grant him a license. This party was
selected. not because of any personal
enmity toward him not because he
had formerly conducted the worst sa.
loon in Cairo. but because he had
been guilty personally OF such crimes
against the law. order and life of the
community that the granting OF
license 10 him would further increase
the fast swelling prejudice OF the clti
zens against the saloon business as a
whole. This was my experience

call and made my protest, giving my
reasons therefor. His defense was that
there were Others ten times worse.
My reply was that he ought to turn
them down, too, then. lie argued that
| he was not on the committee. before
whom the applications came and that
ought to see the committee. My
further question as to what lie would
do when the matter came before the
council where he did have vote, and
the satisfaction got was taat II the
ones he'd let his man so, too, but
would not agree tc stand himself for
cutting them out, | left with the I'M
preston that he wouni vote for all
the applicants and throw the blame 81

My next experience was with
member Of the proper committee and
a saloon man himself. | made my pre-
test, stated my reasons and urged
him to take a positive s:aad rs he
could do So being n the business
himself, without it being said he was
prejudiced against tie business His
reply was that the city council could
be mandamussed aud made to grant
q license if the applicant had not been
convicted Of crime. | cited the recent
decision of the supreme court as pub
lished in The Bulletin. wherein the
court settled that matter in the mega
tive. He agreed to look into it and to
his credit made a fight IN the commit
tee against the granting of this IL
cense, but failed there, an6 guiped the
whole business down in the council
meeting.
My short experience was with am
other member of the committee. His
defense was that the party had not
been convicted OF his offenses. l
asked him If he did not know that he
had committed them. His reply was
that he did and that ne tried to get
the proper officials to close his place |
and another last summer. agreed |
that he was right but that the ques
ton was now up to the council. not |
the executive officers, and wanted |
to know what he was gong to do |
about it. He said would see what |
he would do,
! them came home and sat down to
think. where should have been all
the time, and the more | think the |
more farcical this protesting business
appears to me, and I have come to
this conclusion:
1st.-That | made an ass of myself |
because the statement of the mayor
on the evening of the 30tp ut, &C
ton on the applications would be de-
ferred till next evening; that any |
citizen who desired to might protest.
was construed by the council as |
24.hour wait. to see how many fools in
Cairo would protest against a fixed
hing.
2d.-That an alderman is a curious
animal without backbone. who has to
can against other aldermen to stand
arect
3d.-That the reformation of the sa-
Don business of Cairo by our city
council is too big a job; and to save
ourselves we will have to vote the
whole thing out or reform the coun-
IL.
4th.-That the few applicants who
lave been refused licenses because
hey did not come before the COM
nittee and promise viii come, be
xcused OF their hienous offense and
.et their licenses all right, all right.
5th-That I'm done with protesting
nd see no other way but TO do the
adical operation in April. even
hough it hurts to do so.
