cause of morality and refuse to en-
deavor to arrive at a compromise
with the chief instigator of the move
ment to enforce the law. So the
prominent citizen went to the chief
instigator and said that he would
guarantee that the saloons should be
closed on Wednesday and Saturday
evenings and all day Sunday. The
chief instigator said, "Now l under
stand you to say that you will guar
antee that the saloons shall be closed
as you say" The prominent citizen
replied. al do" We'll" said the
chief instigator. eff you will guar
antee that the saloons shall be closed
Wednesday and Saturday evenings
and all day Sunday, l will see that
they are closed the rest of the week"
