and true that are the members Of
Price Dunlavy's city council will not
harm ono hair on the head OF free
lunch.
Al the regular meeting OF the city
fathers last night petition signed
by restaurant keepers and y number
Of saioonmcn was read. stating that
the serving Of free lunches interfcrcd
with legitimate business and a.kc'l
that the council take such action an
would eliminate tine free lunch from
the saloon business. There were
more than twenty names on the pcti-
tion. With calm reasoning the
council voted unanimously to file
the petition.
When the matter was passed up"
NJ word OF comment was heard save
from one alderman who said, There's
nothing to prevent saloonman Civ
ing away something II he wants to-"
!! But what an opportunity was over
looked. Some alderman with a git
OF oratory could have made his name
immortal for generations. who would
have risen at the proper moment and
made an impassioned plea In behalf r
OF free lurch. He could have said
that any attempt to abolish the free
lunch was class legislation. a viol,-
tiOn OF the dear old Constitution, /:
restriction on personal liberty.
Continuing he could have described
how the hungry wayfarcr. weary and
worn. by keeping out of sight OF chief

el on the bar and dug his lunch hooks
into the plate Of raw hamburger and
ate like a famished wolf. He could
have touched the heart strings and
even flinty hearted alderman of the
first ward would have wept. He
could have told how the tired bus

in for short one" and save thirty
cents by devouring two and a half
pounds of prime roast beef asphyxiat-
cd with gravy. He could have said
all this and more. and the genera

heralded his fame down through the
corridors of Time.
But when that subject .,f great
