never have started a saloon injunction

saloon prosecutions in Davenport, have
they refused to take the saloOnkeep-

they been heard to remark Your mon

indeed! But on the other hand they
have persistently followed this form
of so-called prosecution until it is no
longer known by this name, but is
now styled persecution.
Past events show that when one
prosecutor drops out, there is always
another ready to grab for the s25 bait
offered by the law. It's no wonder

Davenport Groans Under Mulct Law

The Iowa mulct law, which is the
offshoot of the prohibition movement,
and which was enacted after prohibit
ton was proven a glaring failure in
the Hawkeye state, is, according to
the Democrat. proving of so damaging
effect to the mercantile interests of
Davenport that it has developed a po-
litical issue in that city. 1t has served
as means of holdup to the CRATER,
and while it has it's good points and
does not work the farce that absolute
prohibition does, it is nevertheless
killing the town. Neal, who fattened
out of it's operations and then ducked
town, is the same man who was in
dicted here for alleged attempted ex-
tortion of the Rock Island Brewing
company. The Democrat, in the course
of an extended review of the situation
in Davenport, says:
Never before have the iniquities of
the undemocratic mulct law been SO
glaringly manifest in any city as they
are shown to be in Davenport today.
~ y That the radical enforcement
of this obnoxious law is paralyzing
business in Davenport, is sentiment
that is endorsed by fully nine out of

interests of the city at heart. 1t has

with sufficient financial backing to

This work of reorganization was
inspired by Mr.. Wills Brougher, one
of the directors of the State Bank
and Trust Company; it was COM
menced on Mr. Rickey's failure to
make good, and of the absolute loss
of confidence in his business manage
ment Every opportunity was given
Mr.. Hickey to keep promises given
to the stockholders. directors and de-
positors of the bank, and it was for
this reason that delay was tolerated
by Mr.. Brougher and the members
of the board of directors.
y The directors were acting in ac-
Eeordance with public opinion, which
was to the effect that Mr.. Hickey
should be given every opportunity to
pull the bank out; and it was not
until he had shown that every prom
ise made was false, and that every
statement for reorganization was a
Misrepresentation, that Mr.. Brough-
eer was determined that Mr. Hickey
should be thrown down and out, and
some definite steps taken looking
toward the protection of the deposit
tors interests. AS result, new
reorganization movement was start
ed, and although but two weeks have
elapsed so much work has already
been accomplished that there is every
reason to believe that it will result
in the banks opening their doors and
that the depositors will be paid dol
