SPEARFISH, S. D., April e
Let the people elect their OWN
saloonkeepers!
Why not?
It's Mayor "Jim" Pike of
Spearfish who makes the sug-
gestiOn and then asks the ques-
tion.
"Why not?" he repeats, and
then adds:
"It's the solution Of the saloon
problem, isn't it? just decide
on how many saloons each dis
trict should have and then let
the peoples ballots select the
men who shall run them.
Spearfish was flabbergasted
when Mayor Jim" first sprung
this strictly new idea on munich
pal regulation of saloons. Dead
wood, Sun Dance and other
neighbors of Spearfish also were
flabbergasted, but the more they
think of it the more inclined
they, too, are to ask:
"Why not?"
Mayor Jim, who presides over
the destinies of Spearfish for a
salary of just $1.00 a year, is no
mere theorist, but hard-headed,
resolute old miner of the gold
craze era, and now a prosperous
business man. He runs a flour
mill.
Damn reformer!" says
Pike.
''I'm no reformer. I'm just
cleaning up this saloon business.
"You see, I'm for saloons, but
/ want better class saloons and
fewer of 'em. We can't run a
dry town with neighboring towns
shipping booze in, and our peo-
pie going to Deadwood, Lead, Sun
Dance and Belle Fourche to
load up.
"The new state law says there
can be only one saloon to 600
population. That cuts us down
from four to two. Every city in
the state now. faces the same
problem.
II don't play any favorites
among these barkeepers. They're
all my friends-as long as they
run clean places and close at
8 p. m. But two of them have
got to go. The aldermen don't
feel like kicking any of 'em out.
So | guess We'll put it up to the
people!
ssThis is q democratic
government, isn't it? And a
saloonkeeper is sort of
public official - he has
public license. So why
shouldn't the people choose
him?

A fireman, smoke begrimed,
staggered through the cloud of
smoke that belched from the en-
trance to the Lloyd hotel, 24O61s
Pacific avenue, at about 3 o'clock
this morning, and, gaining the
street, said to the captain:
''Everybody's out, Cap. I've
been on all tho floors"
Hardly were the words uttered
when a shrill cry rang out above
the clamOr of the crow
"Pepita! Pepita! She's in
side! Save her-save Pepita!"
The captain whirled about and
caught the wrist of Mrs. F. s..
Slange, a guest of the hotel, who,
wakened from her sleep, and not
waiting to dress, had rushed down
the stairs and into the street. 1t
NwSas she who had screamed.
Pm her frightened haste she had
FORGOTTEN the dear one who meant
more to her than all the world be-
side and who, she now remember
ed, she had left in the burning
building.
where Is she?" the captain
asked
"There!" cried Mrs. Slange, and
pointed to a second story window.
The captain rushed into the en-
trance, only to be driven back,
gasping and almost overcome. A
ladder was raised to the window,
but the fireman who essayed to
enter by it got no further than
the sill.
"Let me go to her!" Mrs.
Slange begged. 81 will save her."
And though the crowd tried to
restrain her, in her frantic grief
she had the strength of ten men,
ad she broke from them, and
rushed into the entrance, and for
many minutes was not seen.
The fire started, it is believed,
from cigarette butt thrown away
by a guest in the bathroom. 1t
got good start, and for time
1t looked as if the building must
be destroyed.
Quick work by the firemen got
the guests out of the building
all, that is, but Pepita. They
the guests-were dishabille, de-
cidedly. Veteran fire-fighters said
they had never seen a greater va
riety of pajamas and nighties.
They escaped by the front en-
trance. by the rear way on the al
ley, and by the fire escapes-all
but Pepita, for whom Mrs. Slange
was willing to risk her life to
save.
"A period of suspense followed.
Presently Mrs. Slange reap
:. peared, blinded, stumbling, but
triumphantly happy.
She carried in her hand a large
wire cage.
In the cage was Pepita, an ex-
cited green parrot.
The damage to the building
was about $500.

Chicago Men
Will Fight the
Loan Sharks

CHICAGO, April THE Chi
cago loan sharks are to be crush
ed through the simple device of
making their business unprofit-
able. The heads of sixty of the
city's Industrial houses employ
ing more than a hundred thou
sand men, have banded them
selves into body to lend money
to people who otherwise would be
compelled to seek aid of loan
sharks, but at such rates as will
not work a hardship on the bor-
rover.
This salary-lean organization,
which lacks only the authority of
the Illinois legislature to com
mence work. has grown out of
seven years of investigation by in
dustrial concerns OF Chicago.
A fund of $4,000 has been
subscribed by the promoters.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April Z.
-(By United Press. Marked
by the most radical and sweeping
reductions with the full approval
of President Wilson, the admins
tration tariff bill was introduced
in the house today. In introduc-
ing the measure the trainers said
the time had arrived when Ameri-
can manufacturers must meet in
"honest competition, and must
develop their business along the
best and most economical lines"
The bill places raw wool on the
free list, cuts the sugar tariff,
and provides for free sugar with
in the next three years. 1t cuts
cotton prices, puts steel rails on
the free list, slasnes all iron and
steel duties and either places on
the free list or reduces to a mini
mum all duties on the necessaries
of life
Schedule X was riddled. The
duty on yarn was reduced to 20
per cent; blankets to 25 per cent;
flanels, 25 to 35 per cent, dress
goods from nearly 100 per cent to
20 per cent.

WEDNESDAY,

really amount to his symptoms; and it
is found that the apparitions he per-
ceives are grouped under three head
ings. two of which have one attribute in
common. The patients may see ghosts; ;
they may hear hallucinatory sounds
like a low knocking on the wall, or a
distant bell: or footsteps, or inarticu-
late whispering. Or they may complain
of smells, which as can be shown
have no existence outside their own
consciousness. The smells can be di-
v1ded into groupS-the smell of burn
ing; the earthly smell or smell of the
grave. which one patient, a jobbing
gardener, attempted to describe by say
ing it was like bad soil being turned
up from the ground;'' the smell OF
gas; and the sulphuretted hydrogen
group.
Let us deal, however, with seeing
and hearing first The attribute they
have in common is that they are both
of a low order of distinctness The
ghosts seen are always draped, not
clothed, wrapped in a shawl wrap
ped in a Sheet dressed like statues
are dressed" The limbs are never viz
ible; the face is misty. These halluc-
nations are in all cases black, white
or gray, quite unlike the vast ma
5orfty of the visions of the insane.
which either resemble some normal OBJ
ject or are highly colored. So also with
the Authorizations of hearing. They
are always simple sounds, never ar
ticulate voices. and in this way differ
Enthusiastically from the whispered
words and sentences which the insane
hear. The haIlucinations of hearing oc-
cur during the night. Those of vision
when the patient wakes from sleep,
never in the bright light of day.
The key to all these Authorizations
lies in one simple fact. Suppose the
patient lying on his right side awakens
to see the ghost leaning over the right
side of his bed Turn his bed around
and the next time he awakens the
ghost will be found to have followed
him around. Clearly, then, the ha1lu-
cination is in some way connected with
the patients right hand or left hand
side. And that is what DR.. Head has
been able to show. In certain forms
of Visceral disease, generally not ser
ious forms, the nerves of the viscsra
send up messages to the brain. These
messages are received at certain areas
Of the brain cortex; it may be that they
are received in neighborhoods adjacent
to the areas corresponding with the
sensation areas of hearing or smell or
vision But the faulty telephone ex-
change of the brain and the nerves may
easily misinterpret messages, especial
1y when the bodily system as a whole
is out Of order. What really does nap
pen, then, when patient sees, hears,
or smells these Authorizations is that
his brain has mfsinterpreted a re-
fected visceral pain, and has attributed
it to some Interference with, or impress
sion upon the organs Of sight, smell,
or hearing.-Pall Mall Gazette.
