The silliest and s%hallowest Of all tn,
political lodges that any crowd 81
politicians ever tried to work on this
community, Is to be seer In the effort
that the democratic bosses OF the city
are making to explain away the fataI
blunder which certain democratic
members of the city council made last
Monday night in voting to reduce the
retail liquor license.
Those who voted for the resolution
claim now that they did so merely
to bring Il before the council" and
thus get II out of the way. That pre-
text might be made to go down. II II
We're not for the fact. shown by the
record, that after gcttirg II before the
council, instead Of voting to get IL out
or the way. they voted TO pass II.
The plain unVarnish,d truth is tlat
they took advantage of what they
thought was n very favorable time to
sneak through Il resolution to reduce
the license thirty-thrce ana a-third
per cent, and thereby Unexpectedly

they are able TO give Is so silly and

In regard to the proposed endowment,
it is encouraging to know that by a

of a proposed 100000 endowment has
already been procured, in few short
