great motor car industry were at hand.

They employed eleven men and boys,

spieueus for their ability and their
high sense of duty, were snHffed out

man. The whole city vas staggered
by the report and today Is lamenting
the death of two brave men and eogi-
tating the cause of the tragedy
How admirably fitting is the term
cegitating the cause; not cogitating
to find out the cause, for this was
distinctly stated In the first sentence:
but rejecting upon, considering the
cause and without doubt the great
majority Of our citizens were indig-
nant with the feeling that the cause
should be removed to prevent similar

vote would have been overwhelming

saloons.
We had the opportunity to do this
two years ago. and every man who
voted to retain these body and soul
destroying places is partially respon-
sible not only for this tragedy. but
also for other murders, assaults. WIFE
beatings, many divorces and numerous
other crimes and misdemeanors oc-
casioned by persons when under the
influence of intoxicating liquors fur
nished by these saloons. and if Ben

outrageous assertions and misleading

BLiCkWEDEL SIGHTS
PARLIAMENTARY LAW

Adolph Blickwedel tried to resign
his position as director of the custo-
dian Of the South Side Improvement
association grounds last night, but the
board decided that he was too good
a. boss to let go.
A motion was proposed and sec
onded that Blickwedel keep charge,
but that the janitor be required to
turn in an itemiZed statement of all
time spent. Adolph objected, and then
another motion was proposed and
seconded that the property committee
have charge. Adolph is chairman of
the property committee and this would
still leave him the responsibility.
Again the president raised howl
Finally motion was proposed to
leave the mater in the hands Of the
property committee to decide upon
some plan which would relieve Blick-
wedel of his charge.
Those are my sentiments exactly,
said Adolph, and he Immediately
called for a vote, forgetting every
thing about the two previous motions
which were before the house. And
nobody reminded him of his mistake.
