SUIT AGAINST TOWN.
DECLARES LICENSES ILLEGAL
Petitioning Company Attacks Action OF
Town Board in Granting Seven
Applications.
WET COMMUNITY HURTS BUSINESS

| WAUSAU, Wis, June 21.-[SpeciaL1
Because it considers the liquor traffic
unlawful, the saloon business demorallz-
ing and injurious in it's effect upon the
inhabitants of the town. hence detri-
mental to the petitioners business, the
Wausau Street Railway company has
brought suit against the town OF Weston
Peter Buhr, in his capacity as town
clerk, is named as the principal defend
ant.
The company procured a writ of GER
tiorari commanding Clerk Buhr to pro-
duce in court a correct transcript OF the
record Of the proceedings of the town
board of June q, 1909, in which licenses
to sell intoxicating liquors were granted.
Licenses TO the number Of seven were
granted to William Schmidt, j. f. w IN
ters, W. Mathews, James Okeefe, Jo1
seph Gusman, Josephine Gusman and
Joseph Kuck.
Cites Five Reasons.
The petition cites that the granting of
the licenses was illegal, irregular and
void for the following reasons:
That the town had 1912 inhabitants &C
cording to the census of 1905, according to
which the town board was authorized to Is
sue but five licenses, one for every Zoo IN
habitants or fraction thereof.
That no applications as required ny InC
statutes of 1909 had been made to the poard
at that time. ~, ee...
That the applications were not filed fifteen
DAYS before the licenses were granted, nor
published in a daily or weekly newspaper,
or posted in three conspicuous places by the
clerk prior to the license granting.
That at the time of granting the board d1d
not have before it the proofs that the appll-
cants were full citizens of the United States,
etc. ,.-
THAT the applications gave no description
of the premises on which the liquor business
was to be conducted.
Named No Bondsmen.
The petition further cites that the town
board proceedings are particularly ir-
regular, illegal and void with reference
to William Schmidt, the reasons being
that he did not give the location. the
names of the bondsmen under personal
bond. nor the name of the bonding COM
pany, filed application for license but
seven days before granting when it
should have been at least fifteen, that
the applica ton was not published nor
posted as required, that no proof was
presented that William Schmidt was a
full citizen.
The petition concludes that William
Schmidt has been selling liquor under
that license and that he threatens to con-
tinue to do 50, and sets up the claim
that because Of the traffic being unlaw-
full. the business is demoralizing and in
furious in it's effect upon the inhabitants
of the town and detrimental to the bust
ness of the petitioner.

About the middle Of the summer OF 1T76
there was every evidence that Howe, the
British general. had decided upon the
taking Of New York The Americans be-
gan concentrating their forces in the VI
entity of the city. Howe left Halifax on
June Il and arrived at Sandy Hook on
the 29th. On July he took possession OF
Staten Island where he was joined by
Sir Henry Clinton. from the south. and
his brother. Admiral Lord Howe. with
a feet and large land force from Eng
land.
Before August 1 other vessels arrived
with a part of the Hessian troops, and
on that day almost 10000 soldiers. many
Of them tried veterans stood ready 20
fan upon the republican army OF 1900
men. mostly militia. wi1sch lay intrenched
in New York ard vicinity, less than
dozen miles distant. The British made
full preparations 10 strike a decisive
blow. The British army was accordingly
put in motion on August p. and forty
pieces Of cannon and 10000 effective men
were landed on the western part of Long
Island near Fort Hamilton.
Already a detachment Of Americans I'M
der Gen. Sullivan occupied a fortified
camp at Brooklyn. opposite New York.
and guarded seven passes on range Of
hills which extended from the Narrows
to the village OF Jamaica. When intelli-
gence of the invading army reached
Washington he sent Cen Putnam with
large re-enforcements, to take the chief
command OF Long Islam and to prepare
10 meet the enemy. The American troops
on the islands now numbered 5000. The
British moved in three divisions. The
left. under Gen. Grant marched along
the shore toward Gowanus: the right.
under Clinton and CORVALLIS. toward the
interior OF the island. and the center.
composed chiefly Of Hessians. under De
Hester. marched up the Flatbush road
south OF the hills.
Clinton moved under cover Of night
and before dawn or the morning OF the
9th he had gained the Jamaica pass
near the present East New York. At the
same time Grant was pressing forward
along the shore OF New York Bay, ard

Do Not Be a Crouch.
he Philadelphia Press.

Says the Philadelphia Press:
mo man or woman ought to be hateful
IN trlhes. Life is too short and dreary.
and needs too much love and neighborly
feeling. The man who stands for naked
individual rights, legal or not when
others need aid. and makes a small,
hateful row over trifies has no standing
in any court. human or divine, public or
private"
No man who is persistently hateful
about tri1es need expect ever to be
happy. Happiness and the perpetual
crouch do not so hand in hand. On the
contrary. indeed. they are strangers, and
do not speak as they pass.
No philosophy is finer than the philos-
ophy Of kindness, anyway. No kind deed
ever in all this world went 70 waste.
Trite? Perhaps but everlastingly and
eternally true, nevertheless.
Keep your grievances to yourself To
exploit them does no good-to yourself
nor to any other person in all the world
Life is made up Of contrary currents and
cross purposes to some extent; occasion
ally It may seem to some that life Is
largely so made up. But you have just
one pfe to live, and you can live it only
one time; and so you will do well to live
it along lines OF simplicity and sweetness
for from simplicity OF desire and sweet
ness Of disposition spring few abiding re-
grets and sorrows.
II somebody wrongs you. or seems t
wrong you. do not nurse the grievance
SO often it happens that the things w
think intentionally directed against u
and fashioned for our discomfort and de
signed annoyance are. really. out tn,
! products Of forgetfulness and careless
ness upon the part Of those we imagint
to be Indifferent TO US or positively hos
tile; and while forgetfulness and care
lessness are wrong. they should put n

forgiveness or our excusing.
Do not be a crouch. The crouch doe

The man who is hateful in trifes will b
hateful in larger things. He rarely get

Mr. Forbes does not seem to have accom-

And yet at the close of his report. which
so strongly condemns all mendicancy. Mr..
Forbes. in phraseology which sounds
strangely familiar to any one interested
in mendicancy. begs for his association.
He says that nothing Ike the fullest
measure OF the works possibilities for
good can be realized until such time as
permanent financial support is accorded.
He says that our modest budget" con-
templates an expenditure for the second
year Of only 5000. Our administrative
expenses are calculated at no more than
5000. leaving 5000 for relief"
Is 1t not rather curious that a man
who knows so much about the specious
pleas OF professional mendicants should
not realize the speciousness Of his own
plea for a self-appointed organization
that requires 5000 a year to administer

report shows, OF very doubtful good at
that? 1t Is. Of course. for his own salary

There are far too many associations OF
like nature, associations that want to
carry on reform-for price. We are
quite sure that the New York police are
capable Of protecting the public from
the professional mendicants without Mr.
Forbes aid. and that If he will find a
good job for himself. there will be at
least one less mendicant to bother about

Beggars and Mendicants.

1t is curious sometimes how individuals
seeking to win commentator for some

tirely different way. There is a gentle
