"The Flats" and Its Bar-rooms

CONSERVATION reigns in that ele.
ment of population of Detroit and vi.
cinity who take their summer recrea.
ton st. Clair Flats. The fiat sec.
ton north OF Lake st. Clair, has long
been famous for its summer cottages
and hotels scattered about among
pretty venetian canals.
1t has also been notorious because
of he loose way in which certain bar.
rooms were operated. Dancing, gamb.
ling and worse evils, have at times
been accepted as necessary. Cheap
trips by fast steamers between De.
troit and Port Huron have made the
Flats popular.
But it is stated that during the com.
ing year only two saloon licenses will
be granted by the Clay township
board This action cuts out several
drinking places, and while 1t saddens
the hearts of the bibulously inclined
it will gladden. those who believe in
safe and sane recreation.

Wouldn't IL seem funny II the vets
should suddenly be found fighting In
,avor of local option In Ingham coun-
~? Yet that Is precisely what hap
pened in Vermont. II the leaders OF
he prohibition campaign recently
,losed there with local option vic
.ory can be believed, says the Lansing
Journal editorially.
Vermonts acceptance OF local OPP
ion and rejection of statewide pro-
iibition possibly requires interpreta-
ion by those who know. Interpreta-
ion is being given not only by edi-
.ors at distance. like ourselves, but
by liquor dealers. These last men
toned are flooding the mails with
ready-to-print editorial copy showing
what a calamity Vermont missed by
rejecting prohibition, and how signi6-
cent it is that Vermont should have de-
eided In favor of local option.
We shall not press home the argu-
ment locally on our friends, the OPP
ponents Of local option. 1t really is
100 funny, that they should be fight
ing local option In Lansing and other
Michigan cities while they, according
20 report. fought to have local option
adopted In Vermont But for the
,urther Interpretation OF the Vermont
situation we might refer to the lead
ers OF the dry cause.
They affirm that through the great
victory" of the vets In Vermont the
whole state will have fewer saloons
than are found today in the single
Michigan city of Saginaw. Vermont
has now 81, and may add few more:
Saginaw has 101. "The vets of the
state rooted for local option with all
the means at their command" aver
the dry leaders in their statement.
Because the Green Mountain state
for ages has been welded to the old
town meeting idea, it is further al
legged, it was easy for the vets tc
frame arguments to show that II loca
option machinery was not retained, &C
cording to the law passed in 1903
local home rule would be reduced tC
q minimum.
The further and final explanation |:

the drys depended. was snowbounC

That 10 The Liquor Seller VIII Cause
Want and Suffering To Make

How much Is a saloon license
WORTH This question has aggitated
a good many city councils In Michi-
gan as they faced the annual grant
Ing OF licenses. 1t brings two answers.
The license rs worth a given fee to
the city which grants it, bvt 1t also Is
worth many times that fee in prohts
to the liquor dealers.
"A saloon license in Jackson Is
worth at least $4,000 to the man
who holds it" declared an official OF
that city to a representative OF The
New Republic. I'VE used to have
over ninety saloons in Jackson and
now with thirty-two, the profits oil
each retailer are very large"
Pinconning, little town near Bay
City, has ended long hard fight over
the issue by adding $500 as village
license TO that required by the state
making the total $1,000. In Standish
the one thousand figure also prevails
Good evidence that the liquor
dealer has not yet seen the light, Is
furnished by much talk and little
action on the subject Of reducing the
number Of saloons in various Michi
gan cities. Bay City succeeded in
counting out six licenses this year
but still has 10S bars in city of AS
900 population. Saginaw as well a:
Bay City furnished much talk of re
ducing the number, but Saginaw
granted it's old number OF 10l licenses
Manistee managed to count out one
saloon, leaving twenty eight which
must have been quite an effort FOL
Manistee since it decided to have
nothing to do with local option and is
advertising it's saloons as munich
pal attraction to motor tourists.
In Detroit absolute secrecy was
maintained by the liquor committee
OF the common council 1t was ex
pected that something like a bomb
shell would drop and scores OF Ii
censes would be refused which here
tofore have been granted About 81
fewer licenses were granted leaving
the total 1913.
Most of these local fights of saloon
licenses are in fact conflicts among
brewers rather than retailers. The
city council has a hard time regula
ting a retail saloon when the infu
ences back OF the retailer are brewing
companies competing for the sale o.
their product While the people are
not interested in who makes the stuff
they do have a practical interest in
law enforcement and the retailer is
the man to whom they must look.
With blind pigs" flourishing in Ii
censed cities and with saloon keepers
constantly violating many laws and
with city councils afraid to refuse Ii
censes when they ought to, the copdi
lions in many Michigan cities are al
tending to increase and solidify dry
sentiment.

One Of the powerful elements on
the dry side appears In the Holland
population of western Michigan. Both
Reformed and Christian Reformed
denominations who represent many
thousands of the best Dutch citizens
in the state are endorsing the Anti
Saloon idea. A fact of much meaning
is that the National Synods of both
denominations meet this summer in
Michigan. The Reformed Church
Synod assemblies at Holland in June
and the Christian Reformed General
Synod will meet in Grand Rapids.
An indication of the sentiment
among these people appears in the
resolutions adopted by Chassis Grand
River OF the Reformed Church meet
ing in Grand Rapids and representing
a constituency of $4,000 members in
forty churches.
