It the city kad no alternative but to grant a license to whoever asks for it, no matter whether it ia a reputable place or a kaowa place of ill repute as found by the jury, then why does the charter provide that each application be referred to a committee, who shall re port favorably or adversly, and Anally, that the council shall by a majority grant or refuse the license.

A. yesterday. j Mr. Steffens told of fights made in various American cities against politi cal corruption. Of Chicago hs saidt "They havs Dot got good government In Chicago yet, not y a great deal, but they havs got Democratic govern ment represntativo government at least. They have a real sense that streets belong to ths city and aot to the railroad". They found, too, that the source of corruption was privilege and so they determined to take away that privilege. And that is the plan which must be followed elsewhere." He said it had beea found necessary, in most cases to extend the flaht to state csi.it ols. for the real center of crookedness was there. "Tom Johnson." he said, dis not think he will live king enough to sc complish the reforms he lias planned. but he has alieady done something more iniDortant. he has educated the people of (levels nil in good cltlse ship."

Cole, a Chicago re former, he saldi "Like Mayor Fagan, of Jersey City. Mr. Cole ia pious. You might not sus pect it, for be swear a great deal, but bs Is religious.
