7 ON Gilmore Has a Plan

T. NJ Gilmore president of the National Model
License League, has plan which he thinks put into
operation would dera the roller which is crush
ing distieries breweries and saloons in most graft
flying manner these days.
His plan is based on the theory that the American
people actually opposed to the sale of alcoholic
drinks but prejudced against the of dispen
sing these drinks "They do not like the saloon, he
says "but they have no opposition to the commodity
sold in the saloon" His plan is to shift the sales from
what is known saloon to hotels drug stores,
grocery stores ETC.. and then he says all would be
peace.
We quote him: "I think the antpathy to the
loon due the bar the screen, the perpendicular
drinking the treating habit and the exclusion of the
women of the family and not the commodities the
loon dispenses."
We agree with Mr.. Gilmore that the saloon is in
bad favor with the people. 1t is the breeding place
of corrupt politics, the rendezvous of criminals and
undesrables and the chief ally of the social evil and
is all of these because of the alcohol dispensed in it.
Changing the sign the door to read hotel, drug
store grocery would not change the character
of the place. nor make alcoholic liquors less potent for
evil.
We herewith quote from news item of the Hills
boro Journal of May IS and ask Mr.. Gilmore if he
thinks that had Joe Mizera purchased his liquor in
grocery store instead of a saoon there would have
been no tragedy darken the humble home in Taylor

Carson paused, and the set despair
Of his features lightened a little. Into
his voice came a tone Of exultation in
describably CHASTITY. 1t was born Of
the eternal egotism of the criminal, fat
tening vanity in gloating over his in
genuity for evil. He stared at Burke
with a quizzical grin crooking his lips.

first time a guy was ever croaked with

The inspector nodded affirmation.

He faced Burke with a grin of gloat-

"Ill bet there'Il be n lot of stuff in
the newspapers about this, and my pic
ture, too, in most Of 'em! What?"
The mans manner imposed on
Burke, though Mary felt the torment
that his vainglorying was meant to
mask.

spector. IF the reporters want any

ones taken? The n you've got of me
in the gallery is over ten years old.

"Sure you can, Joe. I'll send you up
to the gallery right now"
"Immense!' Carson cried boisterous-
ly. He moved toward Dick Glider,
walking with a faint suggestion or
swagger to cover the nervous tremor
that had seized him

ed and held out his hand. You've

he could contrive. Then at last he
turned to Mary. This parting must be
bitter. and he braced himself with all
the vigors of his will to combat the
weakness that leaped from his soul.

At the words. Mary started, and her
lips moved as II she were about to
speak.
Nobody knew l had it-nobody in
the world" he declared. "And no
body had anything to do with the kill
ing but me-"
"Was there any bad feeling between
you and Eddie Griggs?"
Never till that very minute. Then
l learned the truth about what he'd
framed up with you" The speakers
voice reverted to its former f~ierceness
In recollection Of the treachery Of one
whom he had trusted.
HE was a stool pigeon, and I hated
him! That's all, and it's enough. And
It's all true. so help me God"
The inspector nodded dismissal to
the stenographer, with an air Of relief.
That's all. Williams" he said heav-
lily. He'll sign 1t as Don as you've
transcribed the notes."
Then as the stenographer left the
room Burke turned his gaze on the
woman. who stood there in a posture
Of complete detection, her white, an
guished face downcast. There was
triumph In the inspectors voice as he
addressed her, for his professional
pride wa full fed by this victory over
his foes.
young woman" Burke said briskly.
'it's Just like l told you. You can't
beat the law. Carson thought he
could-and now He broke off, with
a wave of his hand toward the man
who had just sentenced himself to
death in the electric chair.
"That's right" Carson agreed, with
somber intensity. His eyes were grown
clouded again now, and his voice drag
ged leaden. That's right, Mary" he
repeated duly. after a little pause.
"You can't beat the law! he hes
itated a little, then went on, with a
certain curious embarrassment. "And
this same old law says a woman must
stick to her man."
The girls eyes met his with passion
ate sorrow In their misty deeps. Gar
son gave a significant glance toward
Dick Glider, then his gaze returned to
her. There was a smoldering despair
In that look. There were, as well, an
entreaty and a command.
$50" he went on, you must go along
with him, Mary. Won't you? It's the
best thing to do"
The girl could not answer. There
was a clutch on her throat just then,
which would not relax at the call Of
her will.
OF a sudden, an inspiration came to
him, a means to snap the tension, to
create a diversion wholly eficacious.
He would turn to his Boosting again,
would call upon his vanity, which he
knew well as his chief fOible, and
make it serve as the foil against his
love.

As he came near the girl could hold
herself in leash no longer. She threw
herself on his breast. Her arms
wreathed about his neck. Great sobs
racked her.
ooh. Joe, Joe!' The gasping cry was
of utter despair.
G~arson's trembling hand patted the
girls shoulder very softly, a caress of
infinite tenderness.
That's all right" he murmured
huskily. That's all right, Mary"
There was a short silence, and then he
went on speaking more firmly. You
know, he'll look after you"
He looked up over the girls shout

up from his chair and advanced to-

hand he carried a sheet of paper. rough

two and cleared his throat, Mary with
drew herself from Dicks arms and re

Burke extended the sheet of paper to
the husband.
"There's a document" he said gruff-

NEARBY NOTES OF INTEREST

In a case that went up from Lake
county the supreme court holds that it
is not necessary under the law as it
was amended by the last legislature
that there be a majority of all votes
cast on the saloon proposition to carry
for license. 1t is claimed that the bill
before the legislature was tempered
with after it passed and before it
reached the governor by having insert
ed the words ION such proposition"
The supreme court declines to go back
of the enrolled bill and holds that a
majority of those voting on the prop
osition is sufficient to carry for license.
This settles the controversy at Madi-
son by giving the town saloons. The
opinion was written by Justice Whit
ing.-De Smet News.
