We read in dispatches from Chicago yesterday, where “Hinkey Dink” of that city had announced that when Chicago went dry, by the national amendment he would cease dispens- ing drinks and open a large ice cteam parlor. ‘In connect_;lon with the announcement, it mentioned “Bathhouse John,” like- wise a pal of “Hinkey Dink” and retired from the saloon busi- ness a man of wealth. And that dispatch reopened a flood of personal recollection of a pair known throughout the+length and breadth of the nation. : The. First ward of the city of Chicago is the richest.ward of any city in the world. It contains the huge Loop district, its gigantic business center, its immense banks, departmpnt stores, hotels, wholesale district, Federal building, imposing hotels and depots, and in fact the vitals of that great thyobbmg v_vest- ern metropolis, yet represented for years in the city council by Michael Kenna (Hinkey Dink) and John J. Coughlan, known as “Bathhouse Johnnie,” both saloonkeepers. Kenna, a little.chap whose head barely appeared over the back of his council seat, Coughlan, a man of strong physique. The former dapper with hair neatly combed, the latter with square head -and pompadour. In the “palmy days” they flour- ished: In Kenna's saloon were served the “tub of suds” and the elaborate free lunch. As Coughlan prospered from a humble saloon, silver dollars were screwed into the floor, liter- ally covering the place, and the “Silver Dollar”’ saloon’'became a show place of the city. Both were products of the tenderloin district. Both possessed hearts as big as they. No down and outer, no bum of the lowest depth was ever refused a warm fire, something to eat, a place to sleep and one’of the famous “tubs.” Coughlan obtained his nom de plume by the fact that when a mere lad he worked in a bath house as a rubber fo support his fatherless family. ol Not strange that this pair should attain popularity from the denizens of that ward which at one time bore a*decidedly. unsavory reputation, heavily peopled with the huge lodging house vote. They. rose to power and were both.elected ‘as aldermen. And they have. continued unbeatable, Coughlan quit the liquor busiriess and went in for investments and real estate. He is still a power. Kenna with wealth acquired in the old days:sits in his aldermanic chair, silently, saying nothing, | but voting. i Their success—of humble origin, humane, not forgetting their friends and their fellow beings, fortunate or unfortunate. 0. CONGRESSMAN COX IS CRITICAL." (Muncie (Ind.) Bress.) - Representative Cox, democrat, of Indiana, is a plain- spoken man. He cannot understand, he says, why his party is protecting the southern cotton planters at the expense of the northern buyers of cotton goods and all other buyers of cotton goods, while at the same time the administration fixes the price of the northern farmer’s wheat and everybody’s sugar and also fails to fix the prices of the farm implements the northern aries, he says, but on the contrary thinks there may be no other way out of it in war times, but he is not in favor of sect- ional price-fixing. a L] 0- A pretty compliment to schools “Bemidji day” at the Red Lake fair and allowed the teachers to attend the fair and see the encampment. Practi- cally all the teachers are from points distant and had never before been in this part of the state nor United States, and the day gave them a splendid opgportunity to ‘‘become acquainted” with their new surroundings. i 0 ‘When that bunch of I. W. W. were sent by the government to the Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Bemidji- lost a couple of its well known pink conversationalists. - But jt is difficult to understand why Haywood should be included in the bunch. He should have been given a position on some im- portant board or in some equally important bureau. ——0 Having won second honors at the Minnesota State Fair - this year, Itasca county is planning to win first place in 1919. ‘7 —St. Paul Dispatch.’ And Beltrami?
