"Ladies-Your petition implies much more than
your innocent hearts have dreamed or intended ;
1t means one of two things. II not both. viz
either that this court has failed I'm its duty in the
past, or intends to do so in the future We are
satisfied that YOU have arrived at this conclusion
honestly in the usual womanly way Some one
told YOU and your hearts have gone out in n
good cause and your zeal has made your present
action seem a duty
Has any one of you ever taken the pains to ex-
anime the records of this court to see how many
men and women have been punished within
the last one hundred and fifty days for selling
liquor without license? For your information the
clerk will read the record"
