along to maturity, but this is merely
by way OF accounting for their later
peculiarities and tho child portraits
leave no special impression. Poe
never wrote of children. Hawthorne
did. but of dream children rather than
those Of real life. Later male novel
lists for the most part ignore the
young OF thier race. Henry James
seldom realizes that children are on
earth. There is 'Maizie," to be sure,
but Maizie is not a real child. Thomas
Hardy is aware of them and intro
duces Jude as a boy. but dwells light
ly on this early life OF his hero.

CAREER OF MO|SANT
Story Of Aviator's Life Reads
Like a Pirate Tale.
Chicago 6aker's Boy Whose Life o.
Romance Has Gained for Him the
Title Of Prince Of Amer
lean Adventurers.

Chicago. Like snatch from tale
OF Morgan, the buccaneer. Is the his
tory Of John Moisant, the aviator the
events of whose picturesque career
would make splendid book OF fiction.
Moisant was born In Chicago Sb
years ago and his early history does
not differ from that of any spirited
American schoolboy. His parents were
bakers, and the present family hero
followed their trade, never dreaming
of the thrilling experiences which we're
to make him, at this hour, the prince
of American adventurers.
While he was yet boy, his family
moved to San Francisco, and after
several years OF restless existence In
that city the elder brothers, imbued
with the tribal love OF adventure,
moved to Central America and pur-
chased a coffee plantation in Salvador.
Shortly after John followed with his
sisters and then began his career OF
adventure. 1t is very easy matter
to find trouble in Central America, and
this was form of amusement in
which the Moisants took a decided In
terest.
The activities Of the strenuous
Americans were watched with sus-
picions by President Figueroa, who
eagerly waited for an opening to wor-
ry them. Finally his scouts discovered
IL rifles in the house OF the Santa
Amelia ranch. and George and Alfred
Moisant were hustled away to Sal
vadorean Jail on charge of melting
a revolution. John promptly appealed
to the state department at Washing
ton. and, failing to get satisfaction, he
determined to start a revolution.
Jose Santos zelaya, then president
OF Nicaragua. took a friendly interest
In the young Americans plan, and
furnished him the Nicaraguan gunboat
Monotombo. and 100 picked men from
the Nicaraguan army. Two hundred
native Indians partially clad or not
clad at all were induced to volunteer
At the head of these men Moisani
embarked in the gunboat and. at nooA

The argument from "PERsoN-
AL LIBERTY" has no bearing up
on the saloon issue as it concerns
the public just now. This is the
issue of the saloon as an institu-
ton. 1t is not the issue of drink
ing intoxicants. To suppress
the saloon in this city is not to
say to the citizens of this or any
city that they shall not drink
when they please or what they
please. 1t is only to say that in
situations which. as institutions,
exist to the detriment of the
public welfare are not going to
be countenanced and protected
at sc great a risk to that welfare.
1t is not to the credit of any
mans intelligence that he cannot
distinguish between the invasion
of his personal liberty and the
suppression of social and politi-
cal threat. 1t is said that the sa-
loon is the poor mans club. The
analogy is notperfect but say that
it is. If a rich mans club exer-
cised such a threatening and dis
integrating influence upon pub
lie life it would be tolerated only
so long as it could stand out
against an aroused and indig-
nant public sentiment. Social
clubs when conducted for purely
social purposes + not the rem
devious for thugs and thieves
and murderers: are not tribu-
tary to riotings and drunken
ness; are not ordered closed in
times, of riot and public peril;
are not the object of constant
police surveillance. When they
become so there will not be
wanting those to conduct a cru
SADIE against them until they are
reformed or suppressed
There is but one voice about
the saloon. There is absolutely
no division of sentiment about it.
It's existance is not the privilege
of personal liberty but the great
foe of public well-being. And
because of that the public has a
a perfect right to ask of every
citizen to make provision for his
drinking-if he must drink-in a
manner and through an institu-
ton less obnoxious to the public
good.
