il the mayor had reasons to think
the law was being violated, it was
bis sworn duty to try to arrest and
punish the Violators and the Tele-
gram endorses this sentiment most
heartily.
DR.. Arbuthnot then stated that
the raid vas made at L o'clock at
and as the law required the
to be closed at IL o'clock, he
couad not account for the saloon
keepeT's being IN the place when the
raid was made on a place over Con-
neliS saloon. The truth os, DR.. AS
buthnot was misinformed in this
particular, as the raid began shortly
after 11:3o, the closing hour on Sat
night, instead of IL o'clock,
and it was before IL o'clock, when
the saloon keeper came from the sa-
loon, after having taken off his cash
register. He was not in the saloon
at Il o'clock, but DIR. Arbuthnot was
innocent in this respect as he labored
an error as to the time. He
questioned the right of any saloon
keeper to be a city councilman,
though the reformers did not nom
mate any one to oppose him in his
ward; but it is understood DR.. Ar
buthnot himself made an effort to
have opposition to HIM, but the re-
CORNERS would not heed his advice.

are honest saloon keepers T mis-
taken. 9A said that no man that
earries 29Nbusiness that Gods word
