ONE SALOON FOR
EACH 1000 PEOPLE
Board Of Commissioners Limit Number
In Marshall County Plymouth Will
Have Five, Bremen and German Twp
Five; Joint Session Held With Full.
ton County Board.

Wherever saloons exist In Marshall
county hereafter they will be limited
to one for each one thousand of popu-
lation This was the order of the
board of commissioners this after
noon after hearing arguments on the
law from attorneys of the local OPP
ton petitioners and for, applicants
for liquor license.
The board was unanimous in their
decision-a disagreeable decision pu
upon them by the democratic legis-
lature-but one in which the people
will agree.
The number Of population is to be
decided by multiplying the vote at th
last election by five. This will Civ
five saloons to Plymouth.
After this decision the board took
up the applications for license. A
large number were present to see and
hear what would be done on the
several propositions before the board.
Arguments were made by Attorneys
S. n. Stevens for the local option
petitioners and by L. MLauer and
Adam Wise for the Applicant for
license. Mr.. Stevens contended tina
none of the notices for license wer
good because they had not been given
20 days before the meeting of til
board. There was a dispute on thi
point and the board decided that tn
notices were good
The law provides that where Their
is an election pending no. licenses
shall be granted, and Mr.. Steven
contended that in all other countie
where action had been taken the com
missioners had granted the election
first and held off all granting of Ii
censes until after the elections. Thi
is what the Marshall county board
should do, he said. No one can be
injured thereby and the will of tn
people will in that way be compiled
with. If the city goes wet. the IL
censes can be granted in April. I
they are granted now and the city
goes dry they will have to 60 out Of
business anyway Mr. Stevens had
certified copy of the law from the
Secretary of State
Mr.. Lauer contended that it was
undemocratic to limit the number of
saloons.

WIPE OUT SUCH A RECORD.

VIII Z WI SONbA "A NENONNs
At least three out Of every 1000
persons employed in the coal mines Of
North America in the year 1908 were
killed. This mortality rate is in excess
of that in any other part the world.
Americans are, We think, the most
humane people IN the world; yet these
figures do not fortify that belief. On
the contrary, they tend u shake it.
If we are more humane than other
peoples why do We not afford more pro-

The work Of protecting employees is
fairly well done by Massachusetts As

could do it, IL not better-but some

states, are very backward in this mat.

he was the hest known and most influ.

then as republican, Greeley was a
large figure in the stirring days i'm

for few years after the close Of that
conflict. He was a reformer and path
blazer in many fields. but his most eff:
fective work was done in the fight to
check the extension Of slavery and to
preserve the territories for freedom.
Greeley's faith in the future Of the
vast region on the sunset side Of the
Mississippi was justified even in . lar
