kEokUk DEMANDS GOOD LAWS.
Civic Federation Opens Fight for Re.
form Begun by Billy Sunday.

Keokuk, Feb. q. = The formation
of civic federation is now engaging
the minds Of Keokuk people. A petition
has been signed meeting held and
preliminary measures are now being
taken for the holding Of an organiza-
ton meeting this week.
The petition or pledge, as follows
shows the object of the federation:
I'VE the undersigned, declare our.
selves in favor of the enforcement of
the laws governing the community
and hereby pledge ourselves to compel
and sustain the officers chosen and
sworn to such duty in the enforcement
of such laws particularly the laws
governing gambling and disorderly
houses and the mulct law governing
saloons. We agree to use every effort
ynoral, material and political, to bring
about such enforcement
The meeting held by the signers of
this petition was presided over by
Judge H. H. Trimble and took rather
more conservative view than the
pledge would indicate, though one of
the speakers declared that the people
could impeach the city council. and
especially the mayor" for the manner
In which the saloon question has been
handled.
BILLY" Sundays advent into Keokuk
somewhat quickened the moral senti.
ment on the subject and while def.
erence for the law has been in the
hearts, of many of the people all along
the other side SO dominated local pol
itical conditions that, the voice for law
would be drowned out by the louder
and moreI vociferous and defiant cries
Of Down with the law!"
AS the election for city officers, in
Guiding a mayor occurs on the first
MondaNsn April, the city and ward pol
iticians are anxiously inquiring what
all this means and meditating serious
ly as to the result of the new move
ment.
