Tne SALOON ORDINANCE
ILLEGAL AND VOID.

ukskskSoNS HANO vSsOs
In he Enterprise Of July IL the license
ordnance Was published for the msorma-
ton Of the public as 70 the character Of
the contemplated lsgislstion. When the
ordinance came up for third reading Aid.
Stoop proposed FOURTEEN amend
msnss. Many Of the changes were Of an
unimportant character but three woro Of
vital importance.
Section Ave Of the proposed ordnance
provided that licenses "shall" be revoked
upon conviction Of violation. AID. Stoop's
amendment provides that tho licenses
"may" bo revoked. a very great weaken
ing Of the section which was given the
public for information.
Section ten Of tho proposed ordinance
provides that when persons are convicted
under the ordinance th0y shall bo finod
and imprisoned until tho fine Is paid. Tho
amended ordinance gives tho city council
power to remit the fine and release tho
persons from the Jail sentence. Tho prac-
teal operation Of this would be to give
Permanent Mayor" Stoop
the power to nu,lify and make wholly
void all convictions by tho police magls-
trnte. We say that this change gives
Aid. Stoop this power for the reason
that Aid. Stoop dominates the other three
license members. There is only one in
stance on record when Alderman
Stoop has not been in plieitly
obeyed. and that was when Aid. Nieholes
saw no reason for rushing the saloon or
dinanes ahead Of the regular order. In
all other actions as aldermen Aid. Stops
colleagues had no will o: their own, ab-
solutsly following his dietation. II the
saloon ordinance was 70 stand ~ pretend
cd 10 bs enacted Il would bs impossible
to punish any whisksy seller. ~ AID.
Stoop would have the power to release
the eulprit from al punishment.
The sthirdimportant amendment made on
third reading was in relation 10 recent Of
fences. This section was in the propos-
cd ordnance:
Provided. nothing herein shall re-
lease or remit any penalty incurred
under the provisions of any ordinance
of the city of Rocky Ford now in force
and effect, and any violation Of said
ordinances which shall have occurred
before this ordinance takes effect shall
be inquired of. prosecuted and pun
ished In accordance with the ordinance
now In force.
This is omitted in the ordinance adopt |
ed bv the four on third reading. This
change tries to save from prosecution all
recent law breakers. Making changes /
in ordinances for the especial benefit Of
the criminal classes could scarcely be
possible except by a body Of men COM
rnitted to the interests of the liquor traffic.
It is the evident object of the aldermen
who enacted the ordinance to make 1t as
easy as possible on offenders. and when
their special friends. the saloon keepers.
shall be convicted that Permanent Tenn
oorary Mayor" Stoop may exercise the
oardoning power and let the convicted
90 free.

We trust that the time is near at hand
when there will no longer exist a neees-

Of the ring until the election next April.
But the present situation demands strong

pie. When it suited their purpose they
i did not hesitate to chase owners of
claims, and those that appealed to the
courts were harassed until they consent
cd to sell to the company or its agents
for nominal consideration.
1t is an open question how much those
methods are responsible for the present
coal famine. Had the opening Of coal
mines been permitted to all wishing to
engage in the business, there would
have been supply Of fuel within reach
when the people came storming for coal
with which to warm their homes.
It is said the coal mined is all hauled
away and that cars are left standing un-
loaded because the coal companies can
not turn out the coal fast enough to
meet the demand. Such a condition
would not exist down there had the coal
companies permitted others to operate.
Other mines would have been opened,
and it is very certain there would have
been more fuel ready for the railways to
transport.

Blackfoot Loses, Weiser Wins

Miss Mary Harper, who is one Of tht
teachers in the city schools has offered
her resignation, to be in effect after the
first Of the year. She has been elected
County Superintendent Of Washington
County on the Democratic ticket. Here
is case where candidate voted her
ticket but did not vote for herself. You
may wonder little at politician doing
this, but Miss Harper really left the
question entirely to the other voters to
settle, and she is not new in politics
either, for she has held the same office
two terms before.
The reason we are sure Miss Harper
did not vote for herself is that she was
in Blackfoot on election day, and her
her county ticket was 800 miles removed
but her ticket won out by nice major
ity, and that is the reason the trustees
and a lot Of pupils here are sorry, and
are wondering who is to be her sue
cessor.

to the Government to run the post Office
business as private enterprise, cut the
rate of letter postage to half what it is,
pay the government rent on post office
buildings. and establish postal express
in connection With free delivery of mails.
They offer to put the postal service on
better business basis, furnish better
service at less expense to patrons, and
develop it to far greater usefulness.
They offer to put $50,OOO,OOO into the
business and keep it, SO far as may be
practical, under Government control but
relieve it Of the influence of politics.

of southern and western Idaho and
Oregon pass thru Pocatello enroute to
