everybody knew they were violat-
ing the prohibitory law except the
men whose duty it was to see the
law observed.
On January last third step
was taken In temperance measures
when the temporary Injunction
against selling liquor was made
permanent against the saloon
keepers aud their bar tenders.
Each of these is forbidden to sell
Intoxicating liquors in violation
OF law, and if any of them is con-
vlcted he may be fined from $500
to $1,000. The buildings are also
included in this injunction.
Rev Douglass then addressed
the meeting. Chapter two con-
tinues the story of the efforts of
the friends of law aud order to
suppress the illegal saloon, in
cidentally noting some of the
methods of the Saloon forces.
Chapter two begins on Election
day, 1901, at which time the
Saloon League sought by placing
men with petitions at the several
voting places of the county, to Sc
cure the names of 65 per cent Of
the legal voters of the county.
Thanks to the moral sentiment
outside of our city, this petition
failed. In nothing dismayed, the
Saloon League, exhibiting q zeal
and a courage worthy of more
commendable cause, started a
petition to secure so per cent of
the legal voters of the town of
Missouri Valley. By their efforts
they induced the Commercial
Club, the mayor and council, men
in official position, the press of
the CITY, together with many other
forces, to place themselves under
tribute to the saloon, the most
heartlpss of all the twentieth can.
fury denominations.
Bribery, boycott, falsehood, and
intimidation played hide-and-
seek with sophistry, treachery,
and delusion. Men were coerced,
persuaded, threatened and de-
ceived. Even at times the cloven
foot and protruding horns took
shelter beneath the downy white
wings of the angel of mercy and
morality, and discoursed in behalf
of the city's welfare, quoting
Scripture to Justify their course.
Not a few initiated Judas for
less than thirty pieces of silver.
At length the petition was filed
with the County Auditor and Oh
the 9th day of January two mem
beers of the Board of Supervisors,
Chas Hilliard and w S Kelley,
took upon themselves the distinc-
ton and honor of meeting at $50
a. m. and signing their names to a
previously prepared verdict as to
the merits of the said petition, in
open violation Of Chapter 6, Sec.
1850, code of Iowa 1897.
The petition being neither suf-
ficient nor publicly canvassed as
provided by law an appeal Was
taken to the District Court. The
law plainly states that both the
Er secution and the defense shall
ii'e bond for cost. Lit this case the
| time given the Saloon League is
ten days. N case the bond is
not so filed the petition is "null
Ian,i void"
The bond was not filed within
ten days therefore all the saloons
running in the town of Missouri
Valley are in contempt of the
Court and are cited for trial on
the first day of the April term
