NO LIQUOR AT SPOKANE FAIR
Former Bar Room to Be Used for Poultry
Show-SOft Drinks Only

Nothing but temperance drinks will
be sold on the Spokane Fair grounds
this year, as the sale of liquor is a
thing of the past at the fair. This was
the unanimous opinion Of the board Of
directors at the last meeting of the In
terstate Fair Association. The abol-
ton of the bar was deemed necessary,
so the liquor selling concession will be
omitted from the list of privileges to be
auctioned to the highest bidder on the
2oth of August. The long bar under
the grandstand will be devoted hence
forth to other purposes. The manage
ment of the fair has long desired to
take this step, and has taken it on their
own volition, believing it TO be the
wish of the people, states President
George T. Crane. We have always
tried to conduct the fair to please the
public. We have had the matter under
discussion since the fair last fall, and it
has been practically understood that
the bar privilege in future would be
suspended. Conditions have changed
and I want to assure the public that we
are trying always to manage the fair to
please the greater number. The
former barroom under the big grand
stand will, in all probability, be turned
into a poultry show this year. This
poultry exhibit this fall will be one of
the most extensive in the history of the
fair

seventh day. When a saloon-keeper
applies for a license he pledges him
self to observe the statutes of the
state of Washington and the ordinances
of the town of Leavenworth. Here is
one statute that all our saloons persist
emily violate. Why, then, does not the
council take their licenses away from
them and give them to others who will
obey the law. Let the council pass
resolution to that effect and there will
not be saloon open on Sunday. Other
town councils are doing this.
Third, any citizen or group Of citi-
zens can enforce this law. A complaint
sworn out before our prosecuting attor-
ney or justice of the peace would have
to be prosecuted the same as if it were
for murder or arson or burglary. 1t is
a state offense and as such the state
would have to prosecute it and bear
the expense of prosecution.
Fourth, the saloon keepers them
selves ought to be loyal enough to
their country to observe the laws and
close their places of business on Sun
day according to the law. have been
told that some are willing to close,
while others are saying, To hell with
the law" 1t is this latter spirit Of
open defiance to law that has brought
upon your business the wrath of the
American people to such an extent that
half the population and 70 per cent Of
the territory OF the United States is to-
day under prohibition laws. You are
cutting your own threats in thus defy
ing the law. Why not get together
and agree among yourselves to close
your places of business on Sunday. 1t
is only question of few weeks when
you will be required to close by band
of determined citizens. But first We
wait for you to act voluntarily.
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor, for this
space in your esteemed paper, l remain,
Yours for saloonless country,
Melvin Rumhor.

J. W. Sussex Out of the Race

Mr.. Sussex has decided to withdraw
from the race for county engineer. By
occupation he is an architect and his
business in this line has grown so rap
idly that he finds that it will be impos-
sible to give any of his time to a
county office. He superintendent the
construction of the Weigand building
and is also employed to superintend
the Kincherf residence, in addition to
which he has number OF buildings
under construction in Wenatchee.

A Movement for Sunday Closing

During the last two or three weeks
several men of our town have asked me
whether it was really true that there
was a state law against the keeping
open of saloons on Sunday or not. So
flagrantly is this law violated in Leav-
enworth that some doubt there is such
a law and others doubt that we have
any officers of the law. That there is
such a law and that its enforcement is
for the best interests of the community
from both business and moral stand
point is attested to by such towns as
Wenatchee, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma
and dozens of other towns in our state.
We believe there would be thousands
of dollars saved annually to legitimate
business by the enforcement OF this
law. We believe after walking along
Front street last Sunday night and see
ing dozens of young men in the various
saloons having hilarious time that the
enforcement of the law would remove
one of the chief temptations to drinking
that these young men have. We will
give this law verbatum and then will
show whose duty it is to enforce it.
ANY person who shall keep open
any play house or theater, race ground,
cock pit, or play any game of chance
for gain, or keep open any drinking or
billiard saloon, or sell or dispose of any
intoxicating liquors as beverage, on
the first day of the week, commonly
called Sunday, shall upon conviction
thereof be punished by fine not less
than thirty dollars nor more than two
hundred and fifty dollars. All fines col
lected for violation of this section shall
be paid into the common school fund"
This is the law so plain that a lay
man can readily understand it. And
yet so within our constitution that it
has stood the test of the highest courts
of our country. Whose duty is it then
to enforce it2
First, it is the duty of our officers of
the law to enforce it; our prosecuting
attorney, our sheriff, our deputy sheriff,
our city marshal, and every other Off
Ger. No other law would they see so
flagrantly violated as this without arrest
ing the offenders. The following is
also taken verbatim from our statutes
and speaks for itself:
1T shall be the duty of any and all
public officers of this state, knowing OF
any violation of this chapter, to make
complaint, under oath, to the nearest
justice of the peace of the county in
which the offense was committed. Any
public officer who shall refuse or will
fully neglect to inform against and
prosecute offenders shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and on con-
viction shall be punished by fine of
not less than $25 nor more than 500,
and the court before which such officer
shall be tried shall declare the office or
appointment held by such officer va
cant for the remainder of his term"
1t is obvious from a perusal of the
above statute that each and every one
OF these officers can be ousted from
office for negligence in failing to en-
force this law.
Second, it is within the rights Of our
town council to require the saloons to
be closed on Sunday. The town coun-
Gil gives these saloons the right to do
business for only six days in the week.
They have no license to keep open the
