The Adair Liouor Law.

LAG AOt&lE 41AQlOE Law
The present Legislature of our State
is determined to pass some amend
ment to the Adair liquor law that will
render it worthless. The House has
passed one bin fer this purpose and
the Senate has passed another 1t is
evident that the Whisky interest is
more largely represented in our State
Legislature than is required by the
best interests of the people of our
State.
In order to render the law worth
less, the Senate has passed what they
call an amendment to the 7th section
of the "Adair Liquor Law" This
section provides for bringing suits by
the wives of drunken husbands, and
other injured parties, against selling
or giving liquor to their husbands, etc.
In its amendment the Senate has
retained the whole of section seven,
but the amendment consists in the
following proviso:
Provided, that such husband, wife,
child, guardian or other interested
person liable to be so injured by any
sale of into xicating liquors to any
person or persons aforesaid, shall de-
sire to prevent the sale of intexicat-
ing liquors to the same, shall give at
least ten days notice either in writin Q
before a witness or witnesses to the
person or persons so selling or givin Q
the intoxicating liquors or the owner
or lessor of the premises wherein
such Intoxicating liquors are given or
sold, or shall file with the township
or corporation clerk in the township
village or city wherein such intexica-
ting liquors may be sold, notice to all
liquor dealers not to sell to such per-
son or persons any Intoxicating liq-
ours from and after ten days from the
date of so filing said notice, and such
notice or notices shall be entered by
the clerk of such township, city or
village, IN book to be kept for such
purpose, which said book shall be
open for the inspection of all persons
interested; any notice entered in such
book shall be erased and obliterated,
as not to be legible, by the officers
having charge of the same, upon the
demand of the person or persons by
whom such notice was filed, and there
after such notice shall cease and end.
Sec. 2. 1t shall be unlawful for any
saloon keeper, grocer or other person
to publish the fact that any notice has
been given as provided in the forego-
ing section by posting such notice in
any saloon, grocery or other place, or
| by printing or causing to be printed d
in any newspaper, ciruclar or any 9TH
er way to give publicity to the fact
that such notice has been given any
person violating the provisions of this
section shall, Ipon conviction thereof
in any csurt of competent jurisdic-
tion, be fined in any sum not less than
ten (10) nor more than fifty (50) dol
lars and pay the costs of prosecution.
Sec. g. That section seven ~ of
the above mentioned act be and the
same is hereby repealed.
Seed. This act shall take effect
from and after its passage.
1t will be noticed by the 4th sec
tiOn that the whisky interests in the
Legislature were in great haste to have
this amended law go into force, as it
provides that it shall take effect from
and after its passage.
This bill, or the one which has al
ready passed the House for the same
object as the Senate, will undoubted-
| ly become law, and whisky drinkers
and whisky sellers will be easy.
