II is pretty generally admitted that

Mr.. Taft. it is said is not unmlndful
of the influence of these two measures
and of what congressman wonld DO to
prevent him vetoing them.
President Taft read the riot act to
a score of senators. including Senator

whom was fresh from a soioun with
Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.

the White House that the postal saw

platform must be kept and Kept

He showed plainly that he was not
in sympathy with the senate bill. and
believed that if conferees got hold OF

announcing that he would stay in
Washington all summer" If need be.
President Taft began his FIRST open
fight with the United States senate.
The postal savings bank bill is the
issue between the White House and
the north wing Of the capitol The
president has announced that the SEN
ate must adopt the house bill on this
subject. Several insurgents and some
Of the regulars are strongly opposed
to the house bill, and rumors OF a
flibuster against the measure filed
the air.
Il was because Of these reports AMI
the further prediction that the absence
Of the president from Washington
would be taken advantage Of TO amend
the bill in the senate so as to make its
passage impossible in either branch
that the president decided to remain
at the White House from now until
congress adjourned.
President Taft won the first phase
Of the fight when the bill was taken
up in the senate.
The senate rejected, "A TO "a. Mr.
Bacon's amendment to strike ont the
house provision for the withdrawal Of
funds from banks for the purpose OF
converting them into government
bonds
The fight over the postal savings
bank bin has many angles. The mo {
interesting. perhaps. is the fact that
the measure. which the insurg mrs
helped TO frame and fnlly approved in
the house. is roundly denounced by
the insurgents in the senate.
President Taft has promised 10
stand by the house measure. and he
believes that II was taciuy agreed taat
in return for the acceptance by the
house OF the senate statehood bill that
the senate would accept the house

president means to force the senate 10
DO likewise
re that as it may. the president and
an of his advisers are agreed that the
house bin is by far the better of the
two. Il was only by heroic measures
that a bin was put through the house
at am. and It is not believed that there
would be one chance in hundred OF
having an amended measure favor
ably acted upon.

license at any minute. as it is entirely
within the discretion Of the court
The saloon business is entirely with
in the regulation OF the court. The
court may order that no free lunch
can be dispensed during the year, that
no liquor may be sold where music Is
furnished, that no screens may be
used. that no liquor shall be sold
when women are present, that no sa-
loon man shall do business on Dor
rowed capital, that no brewer can
have an interest in a retail license,
that no saloon man shall be candidate
for any Office, that no liquor may be
sold at any public park. II is a fact
that in Pennsylvania there are no
beer gardens, and no parks sell liquor
In Pittsburg. for instance, the saloons
close at 11:45 each night. and open at
6 o'clock in the morning. At one time,
under certain rule Of the court, no
chairs were permitted in saloons. It
is within the power of the court to
order that no saloonist permit one
person TO buy another a drink in his
place.
In the rural communities of the
state it is often the case that no license
viii be granted unless it can be shown
that a hotel is necessary there. In
that case the applicant must show by
evidence that he served a sufficient
number OF meals and had a. sufficient
number OF dodgers during the year
just past to entitle him TO declare his
place to be a hotel
The practical working out of this
system has demonstrated that the
liquor business is kept close to the
people. The judge may decide that
he viii permit no saloons In residence
wards. and there is no appeal from his
decision. 1t seems to take the saloon
question out Of politics for good and
all, and the saloonist who becomes
pernieiously active in politics is ex-
treaely likely to lose his license at
the next license court if he is for
tunate enough to slip through until
that time
This explanation of the working of
the Pennsylvania system is merely to
satisfy the wishes of many people
who have had imperfect descriptions
Of it, but have felt that It is worth in
curing into before the next Utah leg
islature deals with the liquor system
in this state. A great many people
who have observed the handling Of
the liquor business in many states of
the Union believe that the Pennsyl-
vania system is one of the best. When
It was adopted in Pennsylvania the
objection was made by the idealists
that the saloon would drive the judges
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-11-13

into partisan politics. The reverse
has been found to be true. and 1t has
been found that the judges have
driven the saloon out OF partisan poll
tics.
Common pleas or district judges
serve eight-year terms in Pennsylva-
mia, and the justices of the state SUI
preme court serve twenty-one-year
terms.
At the present time there are two

which Pittsburg is located, the sec
ond most populous county in the state.
both of whom have sat In that court for
many years, and who are renominat-
ed by Republican conventions and
elected by Republican votes. The
county is strongly Republican. and
the Democrats there never have a
chance.
The saloon business has not cor
rupted the Judiciary in Pennsylvania.
but the judiciary has uplifted the sa-
loon business. In no state in the
Union is there such an insistence by
the courts upon their original rights.
and upon the proper maintenance Of.
and respect for, their dignity. Penn

a good solution Of the liquor question.

THE PENNSYLVANIA SYSTEM.


a great many people are discussing
Just now the method of handling the
liquor business which is In vogue in
Pennsylvania. The sentiment that the
liquor business in Utah ought 20 be
taken out OF the hands OF the city
councils OF the various cities OF the
state seems TO be almost unanimous.
THE shameless manner IN which the
american" party is grating the sa-
loon men. and the manner in which
holders OF liquor licenses are used
during political campaigns by that
party. Is responsible IN a great meas
,ure for the development of this senti-
ment
In the Keystone state, liquor licenses
of all kinds are issued by the COM
mon pleas courts OF the state. which
are similar in their workings 10 the
district courts of Utah. These licenses
are granted in March OF each year.
anc are operative for twelve months.
Each applicant for a liquor license,
retail. wholesale. bottlers. brewers or
.distillers. files his application with the
county clerk not later than twenty
one days before the matter is to be
heard. The names OF the applicants
and their proposed location are pub
lshed at least three times before the
court sits TO hear the application.
The residents Of the ward or dis
trict or community in which pro-
posed saloon is to be located are thus
notified. and if they wish 10 protest
they may do so. All sorts OF evidence
may be introduced against an apph-
cant The proposed salOonist may be
attacked because he does not pay his
debts. or because he mistreats his
family. or because he once served a
term in prison. or because his reputa-
ton for morality is not good No man
who drinks liquor. noticeably. can get
a liquor license in Pennsylvania.
Inasmuch as the law there recog-
nizes that saloons are a necessity. the
proposed license may be attacked on
the ground that a saloon at that par
ticular place is not necessary. The
Anti-Saloon league Of Pennsylvania
employs attorneys by the year. and
has a detective service in operation
all the time watching the saloons for
evidence OF the violation of the law,
and they present these at the annual
license court. or they may present
this evidence at any time. and the
luclxless saloonist in whose place a
murder or saloon brawl has occurred.
or who gets involved in politics in
such way as to bring him promi-
nently before the people, may lose his

DIsNIAY OF THE TRIBUNE.

The Salt Lake Tribune, which lives
from graft extorted from gamblers
and saloon men, is much worried over
the suggestion that the next legis-
lature might see fit to take the liquor
business into the control of the state.
The Tribune says that it would be IN
lawful and unconstitutional. As a
matter Of fact, if the legislature made
the law it would be lawful, and as the
state has merely delegated It's powers
to the cities and counties, it can with
draw that power at viii. The United
States Supreme court has passed upon
the question scores of times.
The Herald-Republiean only in
terest in the situation is confined TO
amusement over the fear OF the Trib-
une that it will lose its power of COM
polling the saloonists TO contribute
every time that paper needs money. 1t
howled with agony yesterday morning
and threatened to mulct the saloon
keepers with an occupation tax, or
something of the kind, anything to get
money out of them.
As a matter Of fact, in all those
states where there is state control Of
the Issuance OF liquor licenses, the
license money goes to the city. The
Tribune knows that, and its howl,
therefore, Is not because OF any fear
that the city will lose legitimate in
come. but it is the Tribune fear that
it viii lose its power over the saloon
lists license. whereby it can graft the
retail liquor dealer whenever it needs
money.
So far as the power OF the legis-
lature is concerned. it has the power,
under the construction OF the law by
the Supreme court of the United
States. 10 wipe a city out If It desires
to do so, to change its form of gov
eminent, to take any OF the functions
of the city that it desires into its own
hands.
The Herald-Republican doesn't care
much how the next legislature handles
the saloon question. so long as # car
ries out the pledges made in the Re-
publican state platform. But if the
next Utah legislature makes laws to
regulate the saloon business, 1t will
have to put the enforcement OF these
laws in Salt Lake into the hands Of
some agency far removed from the
Tribune. That gorilla crowd would
not enforce anything. It has always
used the liquor business as a basis for
graft. and always will so long as 1t
has control OF it,
One year ago the Tribune crowd got
$4,000 from the saloon men and
brewers Of the city. and. unfortunate
ly, left the money in the hands of a
man who later became so angered at
them that he would not let them ham
die the money The money was placed
in the bank in his name, and 1t re-
mains there. Any time they will sign
the right kind OF a receipt they will
get the money.
But it is very amusing to see the
Tribune dismay over the idea that
its days of grating the saloon men
are numbered.

It's little game of mulcting the sa-
loon men having been temporarily
blocked, the Tribune party is now
turning its attention to the uptown
resorts, and the police department is
showing activity in arresting those
who do not pay. It will be interesting
to know whether the city ever gets
any of the money that is assessed In
fines

ROOSEVELT WATERLOO
Vatican Incident Defeat for His POliti-
cal Aims, Says Priest.

Theodore Roosevelt, the politician,
has met his Waterloo. Like bull in a
china shop, he has attempted to Jump
into the Vatican and override the Ell
quette of the most august court the
world has ever known. The court of
Rome is not given to assisting in politi-
cal explorations, and has surely let
Roosevelt know it in no uncertain man
ner."
In this manner Rev. Father Eugene
Harmon, pastor of St. Martins Roman
Catholic Church, Washington, Tuesday
night gave his opinion Of the refusal Of
the former President to accept the rules
of the Vatican concerning audiences.
and the consequent declination of the
Pope TO receive him.
Father Harmon said that, in his opin-
ion, Col. Roosevelt had attempted to
use his trip to Rome as future political
capital, and did not seem to realize that
the rules of the Vatican would not be
changed to suit his ends.
