The Third ward statesman became angry when it was repres sented to him that if the licenses were worth so much to tha breweries and other interests, that actually, if not nominally, own many of the permits in Seattle, they were worth an equal amount of money to the taxpayers. t “LET LIQUOR MEN ALONE.” , “Why in blazes should the city profit from such a source? W cried Gill, indignantly. “The people of Seattle have no mure right to the emoluments coming from such a source than they | have to share with the saloonkeeper the profits accruing from | the sale of a barrel of beer. It is time the poor liquor man was let alone and permitted to enjoy his revenue without being har- assed and plundered in every way and by every person who be- lieves him to be ‘easy money.’” Mr. Gill said he was friendly to the saloon interests of Seattle and of that friendship he had nothing to be ashamed. ‘short of medieval cruelty. | went mad and They are pretty Anna Pelley, whose mistreated body was found in an alley in the city, jand Wm.
