YOUNG WANTS LIQUOR License
APPLIES TO COUNCIL FOR IL
CENSE GRANTED IN JUNE
RESULTS IN CONTROVERSY III

At meeting Of the city council on
Friday evening the Young & Gulan IL
quor license, which was granted by the
council last June, came up for con-
siderable discussion. Mr.. Young wants
to open a saloon here now and wants
to take out the license, Mr.. Gulan
having assigned his interest in the
business to MI. Young. Under an or
dinance the council can grant licenses
only once a year, and this is one reason
why the license is held up.
Mayor Bergheim objected to the is
suing of the license for various rea-
sons, and he contended that the mat
ter was entirely out of the council 8
hands, as they had granted it at the
regular time for granting licenses,
and it had been allowed to go by de-
fault as a result of the failure to take
it out at the proper time. Their fail
ure to take it out was due to the be-
lief that the saloons would be closed
by the government. The question was
one for the city clerk to dispose of, he
said, as the issuing Of the license was
in his hands. Mr.. johnson will ask
! the advice of City Attorney Cameron
| in the matter.
The library board submitted bud
get of its expenses for the coming
year and asked for levy of $4,000
for 1918. This is $1,000 more than the
library has been getting in late years.
! The council decided to allow Street
Commissioner LaFond extra pay for
', experimenting the work on the road
to the Sparry & johnson quarry, to
cover travelling expenses.
| A hackman's license was granted to
LaFond & Brick.
City Clerk johnson was instructed
to try to secure some high grade gas
oline for the fire truck. This was ad-
vised by White expert, who assign.
ed the trouble with the truck to poor
gasoline.

County Attorney Rosenmeier

County Attorney ROSenmeler was
the first speaker. Ee remarked that
the large crowd which was present to
bid the drafted men goodbye indicated
that there must be q true patriotic
feeling among the people Of this vicin-
ity. He said that to most people the
war has seemed very distant and only
now, when our boys are beginning to
leave, are we beginning to -calize its
seriousness.
Mr.. Rosenmeier warned the drafted
men that they were not going on a
pleasure trip or lark, but that the SER
vice to which they had been called
would mean great responsibilities and
perhaps manv hardships. But the men
have every chance Of returning from
the army better physically than when
they leave for the training camps, he
said. In closing he asked the boys to
always remember their folks at home
and to write to them regularly.
Rev. Klein addressed the gathering
in the German language, saying that
there were many who did not under
stand the English language. He .ex-
pressed confidence in the American
soldiers and said he was certain they
would do their duty as such when they
reach France. He paid like tribute
to the farmers, who, he said, are equal
ly important for the successful ter
mination of the war, in supplying food
for the people.
! The speaker said that the slogan
l"Stand behind the PRESIDENT should
be replaced by the slogan "Stand
with the president. " People who stand
behind the president are slackers, he
said; they should stand with him and
with the constitution.
The departure of the boys for the
training camps and for the front is
felt hardest by the mothers. FIR. Klein
said. Their blessings should be secur'
ed by the boys before they leave, as
the mothers blessing and her prayers
are the best consolation and guide one
can have.
Following the speeches the drafted
men were banqueted at the opera
house, and a dance was then given
Faust's orchestra furnishing the mu'
sic.
F. x. WIRING, John N. Faust, Rein
hardt Stoll, Andrew Faust, J. B. Hart
mann and John Gassert constituted
the committee on the farewell recep
ton and these men deserve credit fol
the splendid meeting.
