investigation of the charges of In
surance Commissioner Potts of Illi-

Courage is the universal possession

the man does not die when his body
falls in the trenches or sinks in the

A precinct option bill was recon-
mended for passage by the election

drys will champion in ths legislature.
1t applies to every city of more than
1000 population, and is designed to
give the drys weapon with which to
drive the saloons out Of the residence
districts.
The measure provides that when a
majority of the voters sign petition
against the granting of saloon IL
cense in precinct and file it with
the body that has authority to grant
dramshop licenses no license can be
granted for four years and the saloons
in the precinct must get out of bust
ness.
Representative John @. Robertson,
who introduced the measure. said he
favored it because 1t would eliminate
the saloons in the residential districts
