BARROOM AND BOOZE
OR OYSTERS ONLY
Continued from l'nee One
was so much dispute that tho Judges
decided to leavo tho matter to tho resi
dents of tho section. They ordered that
two rival petitions be submitted to the
court within two weeks, so they could
count noses of "wets" and "drys." That
Is. they ordered what amounted to a
Vote.
Tho canvassing started InTst night. Mr.
Graham led his own light nnd his chief
aid wns Mr. Cunningham, his tenant,
who It Is understood was to bo put in
chargo of tho saloon, If this wero per
mitted by the court. In nil thcro nre 12
pro-llnuor canvassers, whllo tho antl
Hquor men and women number 37, there
being two women In their ranks.
A thousand doorbells, wero rung and It
was said that M0 men and women, had
gone on record against tho transfer. Tho
liquor people would not sny how many
"votes" they hnd won.
FOES OF HUM SANGUINE.
"Tho saloon transfer project will be
mowed under by n majority of 1000."
said Frank C Davis, president: of tho KM
and Market Streets Business Men's As
sociation, today. The drys will get nbout
1500 votes nnd tho wets only KOO, Our as
sociation, today. "Tho drys will get nbout
resolutions against tho transfer. Tho
bona-fldo residents of tho section nro n
unit against moro saloons here.
"In tho shopping zono of nine blocks
bounded by G2d nnd Cfith htrccts. Haver
ford avenuo nnd Pine street, there nro
now 13 saloons and thtco wholcsalo liquor
establishments. They nro nulto enough.
The demand for liquor can ho easily nnd
overwhelmingly satisfied hereabouts. Why
. llth saloon? livery now saloon boosts
rents and hurts business."
The caso for tho saloon was as stren
uously advocated by Dr. Alonzo V. Urn
bert, of E143 Chestnut street. When tho
saloon canvassers came around ho
signed.
"That oyster place does no good to
tho neighborhood now," ho said. "Any
thing that puts It out of business would
be a good thing, Graham will put up a
sood-looklng building, which will help
the neighborhood. Any change would be
n improvement."
Miss Bertha Donovan is a pretty wait
ress employed nt tho oyster restaurant In
question. She Is 21 years old, but looks
o young that her employer, Mr. Cun
ningham, did not think she wns qualified
to vote In tho liquor light. She will vote
snd she will voto for Graham, Cunning
ham and a new saloon.
"A WOMAN'S nKASON."
"But personally I am opposed to liquor,"
she said today, "I do not think young
men and young women should drink. And
so, I suppose, I would naturally be ngulnst
there being moro saloons. Hut In this
case I think thero ought to be a bquare
deal. Mr. Graham and Mr. Cunningham
would not have anything hero that was
going to hurt the neighborhood, and so
I m. going to voto for tho transfer."
Mrs. J I. E. noblnson, 6135 Chestnut
street, said she was against the saloon
snd had signed tho dry petition; but
she was against woman suffrage, too,
he said, and only "voted" because it
seemed In tho natural line of duty to
express hen nnlnlnn nhnlir thn anfnnn
transfer when somebody came to the
door and asked her. This was substan
tially the attitude of four women who
I've at JUT Chestnut street, against tho
saloon and against suffrage, but they
ted whentho chance was offered.
Ins canvassim- will hpcrln tnnltrht fitrnln

You have known Herbert Quick for years.
He is now associated with The Country Gentleman.
He lives on a farm. He has for years been a farm-paper
editor. He believes in better farm living as well as in
better farming. He believes that the farm family is al
ways more important than the farm itself.
Herbert Quick is one of the foremost advocates of
good roads, good rural schools, churches, social clubs
a well-rounded neighborhood life.
The Country Gentleman is also one of the foremost
advocates of these things that make farm life better.
So it is fitting that the very cream of Herbert Quick's
writings will appear hereafter in The Country Gentleman.
This is one more reason why you will want The
Country Gentleman right along.
The departments in The Country Gentleman corre
spond to the departments of your farm. It goes with
you into your fields, your pastures, your barns, your
markets and your home. It discusses your problems
and asks you to discuss them. It is published for you,
your wife and your children. It comes every week.
A dollar for one year of The Country Gentleman is
certainly a dollar well invested.
