The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1884-05-09

paying thing only to the man who
works the scheme up. Imagine how
absurd and improbable it would be
for a manafter he had bought apound
or two of crackers put up in one of
these bags, gong home, emptying
the bag and after supper sitting down
before his CRATE or base burner and
proceeding to read the advertisements
contained thereon.
The GRAFHTc would remind the
city authorities of the town of KIM
ball that there is a law against keep
ing open saloons on election day.
Why the law which is strictly en-
forced in every state in the Union
should be ignored in Kimball is diff,
fcult to comprehend. Sec. 95 of the
Penal code of Dakota says:
Any person who sells, gives away
or disposes Of any Intoxicating liquors
as a beverage, on the day of any gen.
eral election in the town, city or
county. where held, shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor, and upon conviction,
shall be punished by imprisonment in
the county jal; not to exceed twenty
days, and by fine not exceeding one
hundred and not less than fifty dol
lars, such fine to 60 to the county
general fund.
No better law or one of more vital
Importance to u government was
ever enacted, and while the benefit
Of its enforcement in small villages
like Kimball may not be at first
thought plainly apparent, yet it will
be admitted by anyone possessed of
average common sense that the prin-
ciple Of the law is the fundamental
base of good government and should
be enforced IN Kimball with her zoe
votes as well as if she voted 1900.
The GRAPHIC is not a "kicker''
against saloons. The editors obiec-
tons to prohibition is we'll known for
the reason lie does not believe 1t &C.
complishes the object aimed at. The
GRAPHIC believes iii high license and
proper protection to the party who
pays it, but it will not uphold saloons
in violating the laws governing the
business which are enacted for the
public good, of which the saloon man
receives, indirectly perhaps, his pro
portionate share of the benefit to be
derived therefrom.
