Object of Meeting Stated.

In calling the meeting to order the
chairman said he supposed everybody
understood that the meeting had been
called to protest against the granting of
a liquor license on the most beautiful
thoroughfare in the city. He expressed
the hope that East Capitol street would
not be declared business street for the
purpose of accommodating the liquor
traffic.

would be looked upon as an Incompetent
witness in the fight. for the reason that
if left for him to decide he would not

said one reason advanced for wanting to
locate the saloon on East Capitol street
is because it is brightly lighted.

Hundreds of Reasons, He Says.

There are hundreds of reasons why the
application for the license should not
be granted. he stated, and the ven
der who cares not what damage is done

who wants it.
Representative Fess pointed out that
East Capitol street is travelled by hun

THE BRITISH CRISIS

DUBLIN. May 23-Ireland doesn't

and the stranger in the streets must look
below the surface if he finds out the
truth-that this is a community arming

Ulster has been drilling and arming for

her defiance from the housetops. Sir

sponsible for the arrest and detention of
the customs officers and coast guards of
three north Ireland ports while flibus-
tering ships landed some 10000 contra
band rifles.
Indeed that faction in Ireland which
opposes home rule has been at no pains
to conceal any of its plans to resist by
force of arms the establishment of
Dublin parliament with jurisdiction over
the northern province.
Meanwhile the south of Ireland has
been SO quiet that people have been mis-
led into thinking it almost indifferent to
the fate of the home rule bill.

leaders of both parties are trying their
best to avoid these great catastrophes by
a compromise. but they can do little with,

their hackers on both sides refuse to Yield

not concede permanent exclusion OF Ulster

ceive that the thirsty people are pining
for more such places.
Ordinarily do not favor the boycott,
said Senator Nelson but | thought the
people ought to boycott those who are
willing to rent their property for saloons.

invaded he continued. and its time

that the street will not be contaminated.
Representative Smith in Accord.
Representative Addison T Smith of
Idaho said he was in hearty accord with
the objects of the meeting. He said he
had heard that the proposed saloon would
be a respectable one, but respectable
saloons. he said. are worse than low
aroggeries. People feel less disgraced, he
said. when they enter gilded saloons than
when they enter groggeries. He said he
would do all he could to eliminate the
liquor traffic from the whole country.
Albert f. Shoemaker, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League. said the law never
intended to place a saloon in residential
section. and the fact that side of one
block has the 20 per cent of business
property. in his opinion, has nothing to
do with the matter.
Congress- he declared. intended that
saloons should be located only in the
business sections. and if the law is prop
erly administered there probably will be
not more than 100 saloons in the whole
city after November L.
Knowing the liquor license board as

satisfied that if YOU appear at the hear

result will be entirely satisfactory to

Speaks for Another Section.

John r. Mahoney complained of the
number of saloons that are being located
on Pennsylvania avenue southeast. and
said he hoped to see a large attendance
at the mass meeting that is to be held at
Trinity Church to voice a sentiment
against them.
Matthew F. OBrien was the last
speaker He said he had seen a protest
so to the excise board that was larger
than that under consideration in connec-
ton with the proposed saloon on East
Capitol street.
And he added. Il saw saloon
license granted in Union station.
Mr. OBrien gave his version of the law,
and said that if the decision OF the eN-
else board is not satisfactory he would
favor taking the question into court and
have it construed there.
Chairman Thompson asked those pres
ent at the meeting to attend the hearing
before the excise board tomorrow morn
ing at 1880 O'Clock.

Moreover, if there is any truth in the

the prlvates and the officers may not be

himself the right to choose what orders
he will obey.

article.
Here then. while the leaders talk peace

Irish armies are being drilled and equip

British government which that govern
ment doesn't dare to attempt to enforce
because the British army is in practical

liberals to pass home rule and eliminate
the house of lords from the legislative
equation and the conservatives to defeat
home rule by any means and thereby save
the house Of lords from destruction
At the same time in England there is
the deepest discomfort and unrest among
the laboring classes, just as there Ia in
all the rest of western Europe. In Eng
land this unrest largely Is expressed in
hatred Of the army, which may be called
out to put down labor troubles on the
requisition OF justice of the peace

amazingly quiet, but one learns in Dublin
that every county, every town. almost
every parish in the three southern prov

they can be modified almost as quickly

generally exploited Ulster volunteers. 1t
is significant in the case of the south, that
no wholesale gun running has been de-

1t must not be inferred that Mr.. AS

mitted this state of things to go on or
that the cabinet has not interfered with
Ulster arming because it knew that under
cover of the noise in the north the south
was arming too.

has permitted the Ulster arming, and has
failed to punish the Ulster gun running.

Trade at Home.

There is good deal of loose talk
about trading at home and supporting
the home merchant instead of buying
out OF town or from mail order houses.
Ia large measure the merchants have
this matter in their own hands and their
action will determine to what extent
trade is sent away from their own To-
eality. A stock of goods must be had
on hand which the people want and
there must be fair prices for the same.
But too many merchants seem TO think
that they must be "chased up" when on
the other hand the merchants should go
after the customer if business is to be
kept on the increase.
There are hundreds of small town
stores which simply take what bust
ness comes in the ordinary way and
never think of pushing out after more
They get in a lot of new goods, put
them behind the shelves and then ex-
pect the people to make mad rush
and buy up the whole lot Why, bless
you, how in the world are the people to
know about all these goods, what they
are and what they cost.
The salvation--the life--of the small
town merchant is the local newspaper.
There is no known method that will
bring the results that can be had from
good clean newspaper advertising, and
there is no business house that can Sc
cure any better results than the small
town merchant.
The great trouble with good many
local merchants is that they simply con-
slider putting an advertisement in the
local paper as charitv--to help the print
er along. They fail to recognize that
the local printer is a business man the
same as the dry goods dealer or the
hardware man. The real fact is that
the local merchants need the local news
paper more than the paper needs the
merchants.
But when business concerns In small
towns do not improve their opportuni-
ties by going after business through the
local newspaper they have no real cause
TO complain when trade goes out of
town. Be live one--go after the bus
mess that is right at your own door,
