What the Liquor Men Say.
From Thursdays Daily.l
Ed. 1. Goodkind, of Wise & Goodkind:
OF course / have no intention of staying in
Bismarck when the law goes into effect.
1t does not give me sufficient time to settle
up my business affairs, but July 1st is GER
tainly better than May 1st. The prohi-
bitionists, by attempting to make it the 1st
of January and seeing that the legislature
was too fair minded for such tyranny and
then trying to compromise on May 1st,
showed that they lack the spirit of christ
ian charity upou which they claim their
whole theory is founded. There is no such
thing as an emergency May 1st. They
have nearly succeeded in passing an act
which is not entirely a prohibition act, but
one which prohibits one person from sell
ing and regulating LIQUOR selling by an
other. The law itself looks more like a
ukase by the Gar of Russia than an act
emanating from body of legislators in
the nineteenth century.
L. N. Griffin: Ihave not made any ar
rangements yet for my departure, but it is
a certainty that shall close up on July,
1st, and move away somewhere, as there
surely would be no object for me to stay
i'm Bismarck.
Kuntz & Fischer: So its the first of July,
is it? Well. that's great deal better than
two months earlier, as we were afraid it
would be. We have not decided where to

G. r. Williams: 1t has always been my
intention to obey the law, whatever it
would be, and am ready to close up shop
this hour if necessary. have had an Of
fer for my building and ice house and will
dispose of them. calculate to go out to
Washington Immediately after the legisla-
tare adjourns, look up % suitable suit ! location
son VINO attempts the "blind pig" racket
will get the fullest punishment of the
law.
Frank Kihm: havn't got ad-n thing
to say. We've got prohibition, and don't
care how soon the law is forced. know
! can get out Of the country, which I will
1 have not decided where to go, but there
are better places than Bismarck. Will
probably try Montana or Washington. do
not say that am going into the LIQUOR busi-
ness again, and think prohibition has
had the effect, at least With me, of entirely
changing my mode of making a livelihood.
Joe Fox: will close up with the rest
Of them, but have not made up my mind
where to 60. / guess the saloon men will
all leave town from what hear, and of
course must catch onto the band wagon.
Val Schreck: My quarterly license ex-
pires February, and shall not renew it. I
will close up then, and seek location in
the west; at where am not certain now,
but am going at any rate.
S. j. SwensOn: have not made up my
mind what to do, but there's one sure thing
about it, I'm going out of business, like the
rest OF them-it can't be helped very well,
for it looks as though the prOhibitionists
have got dead cinch on us saloon men.
1t is possible may fall back on the old
cleaver again.
Quinlan & HallOran: We will abide
by the law whatever it is. When they
come to driving us away, suppose there
is no alternative but to take our medicine
like men. have always liked thiscountry
better than any other l have ever been in
and must say that hate to leave. but it
cannot be helped. will 20 somewhere
