Waukegan Seeks to Control
Saloons
Saloons

The City Commission Of Waulegan last Monday
enacted an ordinance designed to curb saloon lawless
Under it's provisions a saloon district is estab-
lished, outside Of which saloon exist without
the applicant for license having first secured petition
of consent from property holders for distance of $50
feet both sides Of the street and in both directions
from the proposed dram shop. Other provisions
qure that the saloons be closed Sunday forbid sales
to women, demand removal Of blinds after closing
hours, and all liquor served in room. A section
of the ordinance that will put several saloons out of
business requires that the censee be citizen of the
United States.
There has been change of sentiment on the
saloon question in Waukegan recently. The city had
gained very unenviable reputation of her
vicious saloons. Violations Of law became so fragrant
that law enforcement crusade has resulted in the
closing of the bars on Sunday. Good people were
awakened of the danger peace and welfare
of the city from the saloon The election
at which the no-icense proposition submitted
to the people found unanimty of action the part
of good people before known there. Proestants
and Catholics worked together for the overthrow Of
the saloon. The result greatly reduced "wet"
majority at the election.
Just there is agitation to secure
dry" zone around the new Naval Training School at
North Chicago which, if successful will drive every
saloon out of Waukegan. All these things have
trbuted to jar the Waukegan saoonkeeper's sense
of security He is probably in fair frame of mind
to become more decent. The ordinance may help
People will be interested in seeing the erstwhile law
defying Waukegan -saoonst become model. But after
all is said and DONE any business which, for the sake
of the safety and peace of community requires segre
cation, ought to die.

VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS
TAvENNER, WRITER AND THINKER" GIVES US THE

Washington, May 9-The United
States Senate, which is still dominated
by Republicans, has cheated the sur.

Of what the Democratic House defined
as Just compensation for the hardships
and losses they suffered in the war,
namely: a dollar-a-day pension. The
Sherwood bill, passed by the House,
and urged with zeal and sincerity
never excelled in Congress, was re-
jected by the Senate, and in its stead
the substitute bill offered by Senator
Smoot, of Utah, who Is friendly to
no class of American citizens except
those millionaires who own the tariff
trusts, was adopted. President Taft,
who frequently expressed friendship
for the old soldiers when he was a can
ddate for office, and who ran on a
platform which declared for liberal
pensions, was absolutely silent while
the Sherwood bill was under discus
sion in the Senate, with the result that
the real friends of the old soldier got
no aid whatever from him 1t has been
announced by the Senate reactionar-
les, who always seem to know in ad-
vance just what the president will do,
that he will sign the Smoot bill when
it reaches him

which was resisted TO the last in the
House, and agreed to only after it was

rounding the case are extreme. Some
one phoned to Stationkeeper Charles

pany warehouse dead. having been
struck by train. no doubt The
wagon was hustled to the scene to
bring back the supposed dead body.
They soon discovered that Steve was
alive and drunk He had laid down
on the tracks and went to sleep.
Trains are running at intervals all
night along these tracks ana II is a
miracle. indeed, that he was not
ground TO pieces beneath the wheels.
Steve is foreigner of some kind. but
he realized the danger he was in this
morning and promised to stay on the
railroad tracks whenever he gets
drunk in the future As he left the
prison this morning after paying his
fine from the s13.2l found in his
clothes when arrested Hager yelled
out to him., Hurry back" but Steve

This bill, while It fails, in the opin-
ion of Democratic members of Con
gress, to meet the requirements of the
situation. was the best that could be
obtained, in view of the attitude of the
Senate and the president. Some of the
ablest Democrats in the Senate, in
Guiding Senator Kern, of Indiana, who
all along showed himself to be a real
friend of the old soldier, did all they
could to convince the Republican Sen
ators of the Justice of the Sherwood
bill, and urged It's passage just as il
came from the House. 1t was pointed
out that the old soldiers are dying at
the rate of 100 day. and that the in
creased draft on the treasury would be
only temporary and Of little conse-
guence. In no instance did the Demo
Gratis support the Sherwood bill for
other than the reason that It proposed
! to pay the old soldiers what was their
just due The justice and right of the
! bill were urged constantly.
! The Sherwood bill, had it passed,
would have ended pension legislation
in Congress for years to come. Spe'
cial pension bills, which now take up
a large part OF the time of each SEES
] sion, would have been done away with
