The Value of Saloon to a City


terests to the saloon territory of Kankakee
The Gazette of that city opposed the proposition and
startled good many folks by calling attention the
fact that Kankakee already has saloon for every
20 OF its population The following article from the
columns OF the Gazette written an argument
against saloon extension and is most commendable
we wish to call attention to the fact, however, that
there is not reason here advanced against extension
but equally applies against the existence of saloons
at ALL For instance If Mayor Alpner's logic is good
applied to the of saloon when he declares it
to be poor financial policy to add $500 policeman for
the sake OF getting $500 license fee, why doesn't it
hold applied to the whole licensing scheme? Absence
OF saloons would not obivae the necessity Of maintain
ing police force but by the mayors own reasoning
it would reduce the force.
Few business want saloon next door to
them" why? If the saloon is Objectionable why
lnf1ct Its presence upon any business man?
It's good artcle-serving we'll the purpose for
which it was written and going further, an utter
condemnation of business that is than useless
to any community. We reproduce it in full
Good Many Necessities Dispensed With
The Gazette's article on the astonishingly large
number of saloons in Kankakee in proportion to it's
population has attracted good deal of attention and
comment
On the basis of the national census the figures
showed that every go men, women and children in
Kankakee supporting saloon. These figures
astounding in view of the admitted fact that the
consumption of liquor does one any good leaving
out the question of whether it does HARM and therefore
liquor comes under the head of luxury. The eco
nomic waste of city, admittedly with few rich
people in it Kankakee, supporting ffty-two estab
llshrnents where luxury is the only article sale
means that good many necessities are dispensed
with by good many families
To follow up the figures first given the public that
20 of Kankakees population supporting saloon
it must be taken into consideration that liberal esti
mate of the go who males twenty-one years
OF age would be one to every four, 81 If there
are large number of under twenty-one years
buying liquor in saloons they being sold illegally
But for good might be said that every 100
men and youths over eighteen years of age the
eligible list for saloon patrons in Kankakee.
Out of these hundred men must be taken the
large number over eighteen years of age who never
visit saloons and do not spend cent for liquor from
years end to the other There are also consid-
cradle number OF men who are only occasional visitors
to saloon dropping in and while with some
friend to drink social glass.

The Wilton school board met In
regular monthly session In the high
school building, with all members
present. Much business of routine
nature was transacted. Jacob Fetch
resigned his position as ~janitor which
took effect Saturday. The board ap.
proved the action Of Prof. Lowry who
was obliged to hake a complete
change In the various rooms in order
to relieve the crowded condition Of
the primary room. The second grade
was taken from Miss Marvers room
and placed in Miss Bakkum's room.
The fourth. sixth and eighth grades
were also advanced a room. This ac-
ton was necessitated because of the
large number OF beginners who Ell"
tered this year. more than 30 youngs
tiers being enrolled for the first time.
1T was e 'ssary to make three
lgrades in order to ettlcinetly handle
the work, which was too much for one
teacher, hence the general change
in the various grades. On account
,, of the large primary attendance the
board decided to prohibit pupils IN
der 6 years of age from attending.
