CERMAK ON ILLEGLL
SALOON PROBLEM
BY UNITED PRESS,

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Although he ad-
mitted the existence of Illegally oper-
ated saloons. A. J. Cermak, secretary
of the United Societies. today told the
United Press why it is impossible to
eradicate them through brewery opera
ton. :
Cermak conceded the inability of
municipal governments TO stamp out
saloons with red light tendencies. He
admitted it might be possible to stamp
out such saloons, by breweries refus-
ing to sell them. No such move has
been started, however, because of
complications involved.
''In Chicago there are SO breweries, /"
said Cermok "of those ten are own.
ed by the saloon keepers. or the re-
naming AZ there are many who would
knowingly sell to illegitimate places.
Even II all the city breweries refused
to sell to such places, others would.
Competition is too keen"
Cermak denied that many saloon
licenses are owned by breweries. He
said that this condition existed, for
the protection Of the brewers, or where
brewers owned buildings or fixtures
that would give them leverage over
saloon keepers, he did not believe the
law was being broken.
Publicity, he admitted might "smoke
out" the illegal saloon keeper. Wide
advertisement Of the cooperation Of
the liquor interest in a movement to
stamp out the illegal saloon might
help, he said.

OF W. C. THOMAS
DIED AT TROY. OHIO. MONCAY

Mrs. w. C. Thomas received tele-
gram today from her husband at Troy
Ohio, announcing the death of the
latter's father at his home there Mon
day morning. Mr.. Thomas, Jr., was
notified by wire last Saturday of the
critical illness of his father and left
for the east on the first train, hoping
to reach his bedside in time to see
him alive. In this, however. he was
disappointed as his father passed away
several hours before his arrival there.
The deceased had visited Canon
City several times and will be remem-
bered as having spent the greater part
of the winter here two years ago. So
far as is known here, no plans have
yet been made for the funeral. al
though it is expected to take place in

For about two hours he held the fifty
one members Of the club enrapt with
his startling assertions and the in
side factH pertaining to our state
government. For another half hour he

Honorable Phil. Stewart who spoke
before University Club Tuesday
Night
work night and day to get the incom-
prehensible mass into shape where 1t
could be grasped with any degree Of
correctness.
The speaker traced from its earliest
beginnings the formation of our poll
tical fabric and contrasted the meth.
DDS in vogue when he came to this
state twenty years ago and the con.
ditions that prevail today.
In referring to .hc inadequate re-
suits which some lay up TO the legis-
1ature Mr.. Stewart said the people
themselves were partly responsible
because they failed to send experienc.
ed men to the Senate to the House.
1t was his opinion that men who had
but one term were not capable of
representing their constituents as II
they had had two or more terms.
During discussion of the primary
law. the speaker ventured the asser-
zion that while 1t was expensive and
perhaps bothersome 1t is proving its
advantage in sending good, strong
men to represent the various commu-
mites in the legislature and in the
executive Offices. 1t is the general
opinion of men who know, according
TO Mr.. Stewart. that the personnel of
the last legislature was the strong.
est mentally and morally that ever
assembled in the state capitol.
The startling information that there
are ninety-seven commission bureaus
and boards given life thru the consti.
tuition of the state was youchsafed
by the speaker. Nineteen of these.
he said. dealt with education and of
them had to do with sanitation. He
said 1t was that way all the way
down the line. the overlapping of
authority being SO great that often
times 1t was difficult to place any
responsibility for certain duties.
