DERELICT OFFICIAL LAW

The d"rrIirt official law went IN.
to effect last Saturday at midnight
but the alleged clubs of st. Louis
County paid nu attention to such a
TITLE, They were run wide open
all day Sunday, beer flowed freer
than water ever flows in that
county, and one didn't even need n
card of membership to any OF the
alleged clubs to secure entrance to
the gardens and lmblbe to his
hearts content. No arrests were
made or attempted The beer gu|.
2lers stood on the lid and kept it
under.
Governor Folk doesn't think the
officials of that county dId their
duty in permitting this condition,
aud he purposes trying what effect
the derelict official law will have.
He has addressed a letter to the
Attorney General requesting him
to take charge of the iuioruatious
that will be filed ii ST. Louis
County against the Sheriff and
prosrruriug ATTORNEY charging
them with derclictlon of official
duty in permitting the sale of in
toxicuuts on Sunday
Attorney Geheral lladley is.
doubtful whether he has authority
TO act. lie is the author of the
original derelict official law, which
was drafted with the view Of pro
viding criminal proceedings IN
eases of lufraction, but says it was
amended as passed by the Legis.
Iature, substituting civil procedure
and taking the matter ont Of the
hands of the Attorney General and
leaving it with the State courts.
But while he doubts his jurisdiction
he SAYS it is possible the courts
may appoint him special prosecu,
tor, and that he is in hearty syms
patty with the Governors efforts
to enforce the law.
Sheriff Hertel of St Louis
county says the lid was on every
saloon in the county, but OF course
the clubs were running, and I'M
Ill the question Of whether the
clubs have a right to operate under
their charters is decided he dOpsn' t
believe he can close them.
That will probably be the grounds
of defense set up by the Sheriff and
Prosecuting Attorney of st. Louis
county, if they are tried under the
derelict act. But the prompt action
of the Governor under this law, as
soon as it went into force, shows
that he is determined to test its
efficacy. This club drinking on
Sunday is merely an evasion OF the
law, aud the courts may in this
case be called upon to decide upon
their right to violate the law as
we'll as the dereliction of the officers
in allowing them to run unmo-
