Other matters of importance were
taken up at this special meeting, one
of which was the question of new
city truck. Fire Chief Asbury came
before the council and presented
many good reasons why the fire truck
now being used does not come up to
requirements. The one thing needed
is power. The proposition is to put
the body and fire equipment of the
present fire truck onto a new chassis.
The matter will be taken up later.

SOFT DRINK BARS
PUT UNDER BONDS

AS result of great deal of
argument and deliberation at the spe-
i. cial meeting of the city council held
Thursday night, which meeting was
called for trial of proprietors of two
soft drink parlors here, charged with
sale of intoxicating liquors. bond
solution was agreed upon. The two
establishments suspected of selling
moonshine are the Golden. operated
by Arthur English. and the Riverside,
owned by John Muguira. These two
men will be given until March 81 to
furnish bonds in the sum of $1,000. to
be forfeited In event the city council
decides liquor is being sold. II the
bonds are not provided their licenses
automatically are revoked at mid
night of March 81. The meeting was
livened up by English's offer to fight
the editor Of this paper for having
published details of the meeting held
by the city council Monday night.
Upon testimony OF Chief of Police
X. O. Lamb, who had filed complaints
against these two soft" drink par
lor proprietors. 1t was proven that
something with very much of kick
has been sold at these places, Lamb
related incidents OF the 9th of this
month, the day Chief of Police Mel
son was buried, when he saw several
men. including business men of this
city, make frequent trips into the
Riverside bar in First street, after
which trips some were scarcely able
TO cross the street. He told OF send
ing one man into this place to buy a
drink and upon the mans return he
learned he had bought four. with the
result that he was slightly wobbly.
The buyer also stated that everyone
else in the place was getting the
same kind of drinks.
That something contrary to law
was being carried on In this place is
indicated because on several occa-
sions this officer had seen the lights
turned out, while he could still hear
voices inside the building. and after
an elapse OF about half an hour all
would be bright again. What went
on while the lights were out is only
to be guessed at.
Upon being called upon to defend
himself, Muguira, the proprietor. de-
MED that he had sold liquor to any
one, but upon being queried by Coun-
Gilman Hoskins he said that he could
not state that 1t had not been sold
at his bar as his friends often worked
for him when he was out. He said
that he had nothing further to say
upon the subject and that II the coun-
Gil saw At to extend his license for
few months. all right. and II not 1t
would still be all right with him. He
stated that he had told drunks to
leave his premises because he had
trouble enough OF his own without
being responsible for them.
Lamb stated that he had observed
men making frequent trips into the
Golden, run by Arthur English, with
the same results as at the other
place, especially on the day OF Mel
sons funeral. He said that a self
evident fact that liquor was being
sold there was that certain men took
"a line" on this one place. coming
out smelling of liquor, many of them
uncertain as to their footing And
usually cheerful" When asked to

AFTER EASTER BAf:
GETTING ATTENTION

Next Monday night, the time set
for the Easter ball to be given by
members Of the Altar Society of St.
Pauls Catholic church, is being
looked forward to with great anticf-
patton by large number of people,
including several from out of town.
Good music Is assured by the fact
that It will be furnished by EVANS
orchestra, the same one that played
at Paradise Valley last week. To
quote from one member of the So
ciety: I'VE will furnish the time and
place and good music, and leave the
rest to the crowd" All who have at
tended these dances heretofore know
that mighty good time will be had.
The proceeds are for st. Paul's Cath
Ollie church.

suggest q remedy for this lawless-
ness. Lamb suggested that licenses
for both places be revoked.
English denied having sold liquor
to anyone. said that he had been un-
justly accused and that the report In
the newspaper (referring to The Sill
yer State) was absolutely false"
He said that he had nothing to say in
defense except that he was trying to
make an honest living and that he
would leave 1t up to the council to
do as they chose.
When Mayor Brandon put the ques-
ton to the council as to what should
be done In the matter a motion was
made by Councilman Sites that both
proprietors be put under $4,000 bond
to be furnished not later than the
31st day of this month. being the date
of expiration of present licenses.
When asked his intention in re-
gard to this move. English fatty re
fused to furnish any bond, and took
the attitude that the council was un.
justly trying to put him out Of busi-
ness. asserting that IL he had to pay
to live he was willing to die. Coun-
Gilman Akin said there was no inten-
ton to do injustice and English
asked him. IL he had never stepped
over the law. English will be al
lowed to continue business until the
1I.t fak kA 10 wi
dent-unless he furnishes a bond no
license will be issued
Muguira made no statement as to
what he would do on the plea that
he did not understand just what was
meant by a bond and that he would
have to have an interpreter to ex-
plain the matter to him. This was
granted to him as he has several
days in which to decide.
Mayor Brandon explained that the
decision of the council would be Anal
and that II bonds were forfeited for
selling of booze no action could be
taken in court. because the wording
of the bonds would leave determine
ton of guilt entirely with the city
council. He stated that Esparzo, one
of the proprietors of the Winnemucca
hotel, had seen him and had further
proven his innocence in regard to the
sale Of liquor at that place and had
promised to be more strict in regard
to allowing drunks on the premises

the repeal of Panama tolls, the ship
ping act. the child labor law, the pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies and
federal aid for good roads.
The federal reserve law is pOten-
tally as great a piece Of constructive
legislation as any that has been en-
acted in this country. We were absO-
lutely without a financial system, and
the money of the nation was in the
irresponsible control of a few big
banks in New York.
Every attempt to remedy this situa-
ton had failed because private finan-
cial interests naturally wished to keep
their control of the money. The Aid
rich bill in the Taft administration
proposed to give the sanction of law
to this private domination, but con-
gress refused to pass it.
The federal reserve act simply re-
versed the Aldrich plan and gave the
nation, through the government, the
control of its own money.

A s he stood at the clerks desk in
~ he hall of the house of repre-
santatfves on the evening of April :,
1917. President Wilson was the central
figure in one of the great moments OF
world history. Not only his people
but mankind stopped to listen.
The president had been reelected
only five months before because "he
kent us out of the war" Alas, the
war would not keep out of the United
States.
The war took on new fury, with the
resumntion of ruthless summarizing,
which Germany had modified the year
before at our demand. The president
thereupon handed the German ambas-
sador his passports, and next he pro-
posed that we should arm u mer-
chant ships. The flibustering sem
ate failing to give him this authority
he proceeded himself to arm them. But
shipping vanished from the sea, with
its hidden terror, and at last he called
the newly elected congress in extraor-
binary session to receive q commune
cation-concerning grave matters of
national policy"
No other president in the whole
course of his service has had to make
so many momentous decisions as
Woodrow Wilson has had to make in

the solitude of his study at the White
House in those anxious days before
the assembling of congress. He could
not divide the burden Of such a heavy
responsibility he had to bear it alone
and without a precedent to guide him.
Should we give a further trial to
armed neutrality? Or should we en-
ter upon an independent naval war
fare against the submarine ena to
our shipping? Or should we back the
allies with money and supplies. but
leave them to do the fighting? Or
should we join forces with them unre-
servedly, contrary to the historic pol
icy of America to go it alone?
Those alternatives were in every
mind in that bewildering period, and
the president had to choose between
them in framing the policy to be sub
mitted to congress. He made the
holder choice of going into full part
nership with the entente allies, pool
ing with them all resources, u
man power, our money power and our
producing power.
The broad plan which he unfolded
and which congress quickly approved
assured in advance the success of the
great, unparalleled undertaking, and
he pushed it through to victory with
grim, unrelenting persistence. Ameri-
cans generally assumed at the start,
and the British government agreed
with them, that we should not have
to send a great army to Europe, if in
deed any at all. But when it became
an imperative necessity to go at
double quick to the relief of the bro
ken line in France, the foundation was
50 we'll laid that We rose to the un-
foreseen emergency, building UP in Il
year and a half an army Of 100000
and ferrying 100000 soldiers across
the Atlantic.
The brains Of tine country, all the
talents. were modified for the var
merchants and scientists. bankers and
railroad men, labor leaders and cler-
@ymca, each being charged with the
task for which bis training fitted him.

whoever won the war, Hindenbure
lost that race.
The rest-the presidents journey,
to Europe, the treaty and the BATH

ing. Many years must pass befor

of the presidency will be finished anC

The Penn's Grove record., 1921-08-05

a FTER Woodrow Wilson had been
"a teaching in the classroom for a
quarter of a century that the presi-
dent ought to be more like a prime
minister, Crying to cooperate with
other human beings" than "a mere
department hailing congress
from some isolated island of author
tty." the opportunity came to him to
put his theory in practice. When con-
greSs met in extra session a month
after his inauguration he walked in
and delivered his message in person,
reviving a custom which jefferson had
stopped only because he happened to
have a poor voice and was an awk-
ward speaker.
President Wilson adopted the atti-
tude of a sort OF member at large of
both houses. sauntcring unheralded
into the seldom-u.ed presidents room,
which adioins the senate chamber,
whenever he had any special business,
and talking things 9yer in the open.
The president succeeded not by
%arousing a personal loyalty to himself
but by the force of his ideas. 81 have
had a majority on the floor, but" he
admitted, never a majority in the
cloakroom.'
Here are the outstanding items in
the peace record of the Wilson ad-
ministration: Tariff revision, the first
income tax, the federal reserve act,
the federal trade commission, the
Clayton trust law, 80 arbitration trea-
ties. the seaman's act, the farm loan,
