REX HOTEL LICENSE
Attorney Generals Office Says That
the City Council Is
Right.

After a long time, City Attorney
RuStad received, this morning, a re-
ply from the Office of the attorney gem
eraI to a letter which MI. Rustad sent
at the request of the city council,
April 10, asking for certain rulings as
10 the status OF the Rex hotel property
In h matter of it's location to the
school building in the First ward.
Early in the year complaints were
made to the effect that the Rex hotel
and saloon came within the restric-
tons provided in the city charter and
that the building was too near the
school building, and that the city
counct was wrong in allowing a IL
n to be operated there. AS the
case was then presented the attorney
general agreed that the complaint was
we'll made, but the matter was re-
opened and further facts were pre-
sented to the attorney general as there
vas an element of alleged injustice to
innocent parties in connection with
the matter.
In the later ruling the attorney gem
eral admits that the language of the
charter on the matter is not very plain,
but the courts are sure to take cog
nizance of the practical and uniform
construction Of the law made by the
official and consented to by the people
for IN indefinite period of years. and
he sees no reason for changing the
previous ruling to accord with the
plain additional facts presented. In
the reply is quoted an Oregon decision
bearing directly upon the question OF
the locality OF saloons to school build
ings. In substance the reply is un-
derstood to mea that the city coun-
ell is the best judge in that matter
and it has the prerogative of granting
or refusing a license for the premises
named and 1t is the best Judge as to
whether there has been n lapse un-
der the terms Of the charter which
would make the issuing of a license
Illegal.
The issuing of another license to
the Rex hotel will come before the city
council in the regular way when the
new applications for licenses are con-
sidered for the new year beginning
July / next.

The Markets
Evaninn Grain L.otter.


Chicago, June IL. Wheat; The
trend of the early market was higher,
prices breaking sharply before noon,
the same being due, partially at least,
to false rumors regarding sales Of new
wheat to come to this market from
the extreme southwest. The circula-
ton of such reports. with subsequent
denials, has occurred several times of
late, and we infer must be made for
market purposes. Prices rallied sharp
Iy from the low point of the day above
the high point of the early session
and demonstrated the sold out condi-
ton which we thoroughly believe the
market is assuming. The action Of
our market today confirms our be-
lief that prices are low enough and
that wheat should be bought on all
depressions. The constant liberal de-
creases in the visible supply and. the
fact that we are still some time away
from actual supplies Of new winter
wheat, with all the contingencies of
the spring wheat yet to undergo, lead
us to the above expression Of opinion.

Parting OF the ways.

All the political signs in West
Virginia evidently impress the EX-
ponent now with the truthfulness OF
utterances it published less than
two years ago for James Bassei.
venerable Lewis county Democrat as
follows:
.sThe election of any corporation
tool. or servant of monopoly. to the
Senate of the United States by the
Democratic legislature of West Viz
,ginia. viii be the parting Of tine
ways for large number of Demo
cratic independents and Republicans
who supported that ticket at the last
election. The people desire only
ustice and equal opportunity for all
classes. The interests are in opPo-
sition to this safe and patriotic pur-
pose. They are determined to pile
up wealth at the expense of the
masses. by class legislation"
The parting of the-ways" has come.
The democratic legislature elected
as United States senators two eorpo-
ration tools and servants of monop-
oily. No sane nan denies that fact.
All Democratic Independents and
Republicans know that to be as true
as gospel. So does the Exponent
know it.

islature's doing just the opposite 20

their explanation of the stand they
