HoIleboseh Questions Mayor.
Mr.. Hollebosch. owner of the bar
closed Wednesday by order of the
mayor. asked the council what his sa-
loon was closed for.
The reason your saloon was clos
cd said the mayor. was because you
were selling to boys-minors. And
too, you were selling booze on sun
day"
Why isn't the man here to prove
it?" queried the owner of the bar.
Gentlemen" said the mayor. ad-
dressing the council this man has
been getting away with lot OF stuff
One working man that ! know OF has
spent from 81 to SO in there every
Sunday lately. and l got hold of it
after he had bowed around about It.
As for the boys, l can tell you the
names Of the lads who got their
drinks in there. They are all work
ing boys-and boys, too. A blind man
could have told that they were
lads by their boyish voices" The
mayor then named the lads.
Should Have Hearing.
But certainly the gentleman is en-
titled to a hearing" interposed Com
missioner Rudgren.
Il have never suspended or revoked
a license unless it has been absolutely
necessary" replied the mayor.
"Ees-but this gentleman here de-
MES his guilt" said the city clerk.
When there is an offense against the
law, judge and jury try a man. Even
in crime as great as murder, a man
Is given fair and impartial trial. I'd
like to see this man get a hearing"
But If you had the experience that
I have had in dealing with saloon
keepers you would handle them with
the strong arm. I have had the
facts and so per cent of the own
ers denied them at first, but later af-
ter they saw that / had the goods on
them, they admitted IL. You have had
sufficient experience with that in re-
cent cases" was the mayors response.
Commissioner Rudgren said: Yes,
that is true-but the same may apply
70 the courts. II would be handler
for them to deal right off with the
prisoner, rather than give him a trial"
Il suggest that the witnesses be
brought in and that the saloon keeper
be given a trial." said Commissioner
Hart.
The other commissioners agreed
that that should be the course taken
and the mayor explained that they
would have 10 meet at night as the
boys were all laborers. and did not get
home until S o'clock in the evening
II was agreed that some time this
week the probe would be made, and
the commission announced to Mr. Hol-
lebosch that he would be notified
when the session would be held. II
was announced TO him also that his
saloon would be closed in the mean
time.
I'D like to see those witnesses here,
then. I'd like to face them" was the
parting remark of the saloon owner.

DOING fine ON
THE GULF COAST
II. n. WEFEL, JR., OF MOBILE.
SAYS THEY PROMISE TO YIELD
BIG RETLRNs AND SERVE PROB
LEM OF UTILIZING LANDS.

That great interest is being taken
In Mobile county in the cultivation of
Satsuma oranges, is the statement of
II. H Wefel, Jr.. of Mobile, a promin-
nent dealer in timber and farm lands,
who arrived In the city yesterday after
noon on a business visit. Mr.. Wefel
believes that the planting of Satsuma
orange groves will serve the problem
or utilizing the cut over timber lands
on the gulf coast
In Baldwin large tracts are being
devoted to oranges and in Mobile and
other counties many are interested in
the business and thus far the success
attained has been remarkable, there
being instances of. profits of from one
to two thousand dollars per acre while
those engaged in the nursery business
have even secured greater returns.
The Satsuma orange, in the belief of
Mr. Wefel, will eventually supplant the
California orange, and he cites the
statement of g. California grower, who
says that II he can dispose of his orch
ard he Will come to the gulf coast and
engage in raising Satsumas for market
believing them to be a better oranges
and yielder Of larger returns.
Many have planted the Satsumas
near Pensacola and the yields have
been excellent and Mr.. Wefel, along
with many others believe that If the
owners Of cut over land will utilize
these lands in putting out orange
groves. the problem of utilizing these
lands will be solved as well as the fut-
ure OF the gulf coast.

for them-and to be out of style, is
with this type of woman, something
far more terrible than the mere man
mind can understand.
On the other hand there is the home
woman who is a suffragist because in
this movement she sees not so much
the emancipation of herself, but of
womanhood This woman senses even
if she does not plainly see, that there
is something very radically wrong
with a state OF society where mothers
OF growing boys spend their time over
the card tables. where these same
women see no harm in drinking cock
tails with their sons or their sons
friends. and where a fresh. pure young
girl may be allowed to tango or bunny
hug with any strange young man who
happens to have the very questionable
cachet of society.
Many thinking people look upon the
suffrage movement as a protest upon
the present state Of society. They do
not look upon the present ridiculous
extremes Of society as a protest against
equal suffrage.
