FAMOUS QUARTETTE AT NORTH CHURCH
 WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
Eminent European Artists to Appear Under Auspices of Local Musical
 Club.

The great success which the Flon- zaley Quartette met with in Europe is pleasing news to those to whom the work of this organization has become familiar. Dispatches from Berlin state that the quartette'S third concert i'll that city was marked by an enthu- siasm of an extraordinary character. Among the well known musicians pres ent were Professor Moser, the coliapor- ator of Joachim; Professor Flosch, the famous Hungarian violinist; Mrs. Will Hams, the English pianist, and Consul General Partello. One criticism reads: 'The Swiss Quartette deserves un- stinted praise. Ii is a Quartette worthy to rank with the best we know of. Every one of the artists proved him self to be an eminent representative of his instrument, and all of them pos sess equal artistic finish and the same musical talents. Their ensemble play ing is excellent, of great rhythmical precision, clean to a degree, with mo- ble harmonization; their rendition sound, of much warmth and soulful virility. The artists received an ova- tion from their enthusiastic audi ence.'
 This famous quartette comes to this city Wednesday afternoon of this week under the auspices of the Wednesday Afternoon Musical Club. The concert will be given at the North church. commencing at 3:30 o'clock. The pro- gram follows: Mozart-Quartette in B flat major

HUGH F. FOX, Secretary United States Brewers Association.

hotels and joints where women ol questionable character resorted. About fifty saloons were also closed in the county of Milwaukee, outside of the city. The Milwaukee incident is part1- cularly significant because it shows what can be done by the earnest CO., operation of the manufacturers, the re- putable retailers. and the civic .au- thorities. In this case, the Mayor, the Chief of Police. and the Common Council, worked in complete harmony, with the Brewers. and the Milwaukee Liquor Dealers Protective Association. The brewers, however, are entitled to the credit for initiating the movement.
 Space forbids a further recital of testimony. It has, however, been dem onstrated that the brewers can accom- plish great deal where the laws are reasonably good, and the authorities honestly willing to do their part. Much might be said from the standpoint of legislation, which is often either very loose. or thoroughly unfair: in many States. both the retail and wholesale branches of the business have little or no protection under the law, as com pared with other lines of trade. The tendency to treat the liquor business as an outlaw business which exists by suffrance only. brings about a condi- tion of instability and uncertainty which is most demoralizing. Asa class, l believe that the majority of the men engaged in the traffic have the same respect for law and order as the men in any other business, but they are the victims of too much legislative bung- ling and quackery. The license to sell liquors is really a limited franchise and implies a. contract between the city and the licensee. The city is not giving the Saloon-keeper a square deal if it grants a similar franchise to an- other man to start business next door in opposition to him. On the other hand. 1t is cruel act of injustice to ruin man who has obeyed the law, by cancelling his license. without giv- ing him any compensation.
 The evidence in my possession leads ne to believe that the abolition of the license system has resulted disastrous ly in practically every important city where it has been tried It is equally true that the license system has been attended by grave evils in many places. Sometimes the law or the system is at fault, but quite as often the condition simply reflects the careleSsness or cor ruption of the local government. The recent action of the National Municipal League in considering saloon-regula- ton as an important municipal prOb- lem, is a hopeful sign of the times. With the natural reaction from the destructive radicalism of the abolition ists, a spirit of honest enquiry has come. Public sentiment has been aroused; it is waiting now for com petent direction. Trained students of social legislation and men in the front rank of civic administration should take advantage of this situation, with view to the permanent betterment of conditions. It is time for intelligent laymen to take the lead!
