Cochran takes regarding your insti-
tuition.
Thousands of us, as you know,
contribute to the success of that in
stitutiOn. We freely admit that we
get good service there and we are
willing to pay proper homage to the
abilities of the men who plan and
execute that service, but for one be-
heVe that every employee there con-
tributes very materially to the serv-

who works conscientiously, eff
GENTLY and effectively should receive
very considerable consideration
when it comes to division of the
profits.
81 think that the masses of the
people do not object to a business
house making good profit, but
they do object when one or two peo-
pie get it all. have heard several
expressions made regarding this
open letter by Mr.. Cochran and the
expressions indicate that there are
a great many of us who agree with
him and we would like to know what
you are going to do about it. Very

TIP TO SALooNKEEPERS-n
regard to the letter of A. B. Farwel
in The Day Book recently, I beg to
offer a few suggestions.
Let the saloons be formed into a
saloon association; this association.
to be responsible to the city for the
good behavior of those saloons, and,
more, when an individual is arrested
as intoxicated and a nuisance, let the
association pay his fine.
If he spends his earnings in sa-
looms, let the association provide for
his family, if he has any.
If accidentally incapacitated. by
being intoxicated, let the association
pay for the medical costs and his
family support.
Let a habituaI drunkard, in his
daily drunken state, be taken in front
