FOR INDIAN PROHIBITION.
There being nothing further on the
calender, Mr.. Critehlow was granted
consent TO call up Fl. B. No. f53. Mr.
Gibson's bill to prohibit the sale of LIQUOR
to Indians
Mr.. Critchlow as chairman of the tu-
dietary to whom the bill had been re-
ferred. stated that the bill had been
amended to prohibit the sale to men who
cohabit with squaws, meaning ''suuaw
men, for the reason that it was consid-
cred quite as necessary if the law were
TO be made effective. The violation was
also made felony instead of INSIDE
lnednOr.
There was no opposition to the bill, but
Mr.. Gibson wanted to make sure and rose
TO address the house In beginning he
thought the amendment was a little Sc
we're on the bar tenders, as it was pretty
difficult to tell "squaW' man from any
one else. However, that cut very little
figure if the bill only passed but he
would like to see il so amended as to
compel an Indian to testify to insure
the punishment of the offender. Indians
were close mouthed and it was difficult
to make them tell where they got their
whisky.
Mr.. Gibson then delivered himself of
one of his funny speeches. half ridicu-
lous. which pitched the house into roar
Of laughter. He said good man named
st Patrick banished the snakes once from
ireland. but he did not Danish the snakes
from the Irishman's boots. He hadn't
been able to kill all the snakes in his
but he had banished them from
his own boots, although he had consumed
his share of whisky in his time. He now
wanted to Danish the snakes from the
boots of the Indians. "There are a good
many lawyers right here in Salt Lake"
said he. who never killed a snake in
their lives, whom | would like to have
turn IN and help me kill a few. | may
not come back here next time, but if you
10 help me to kill a few snakes end hssp
is to get one bridge up in our coun-
". I'll agree to try and get whoever
loes come to help out the gentlemen Of
5odom and Gomorrrah, | beg pardon, L
mean Salt Lake and Ogden.
Needless to say there was not a vote
against the bill
