SALOONS ARE NOT AN ISSUE IN
THIS CAMPAIGN.

While the Phillips supporters are
making their campaign on the saloons,
the fact is that the election or defeat
of either Captain Emery or Mr. Phil
lips cannot possibly have anything
to do with whether we will have or
will not have the saloons in this c<y.
If the petition now on file at the cou>t
house is sustained by the district
court, the saloons cannot be opened,
even if Mr. Phillips is elected. II
the court decides that the petition IS
insufficient, then Captain Emery could
not keep saloons out of Ottumwa if he
is elected. 1t is a matter to be decid-
ed by the district court, and not the
mayor. Phillips is mayor now and his
platform endorses the saloons, YET
although he Endorsed the saloons, lie
can't open them. If he can open the
saloons, why doesn't he do it now?
The effort the Phillips bosses are
making to deceive the people in this
matter is a ridiculous one.
If it is decided by the court that
the revocation petition does not con
tain a sufficient number Of names Of
those legally qualified to sign it, then
there will unquestionably be saloons
opened in Ottumwa. AS to who is
elected mayor, it can make no differ
ence.
But if Captain Emery is elected all
those that are operated will simply be
required to conform to the law, and
he will see that they do. They will
all be put on a law abiding basis-no
favorites and no dives. If Mr.. Phil
lips is elected and the petition is de-
clared insufficient, there is no reason
to suppose that the saloons will be
conducted in any different manner
than they have been. The dives and
brothels of Smoky Row and West
Main and South Market streets that
have flourished heretofore are a dis
grace to any community and have
been a serious handicap to the growth
of this city
The election of Captain Emery as
mayor is necessary now to establish
confidence in Ottumwa, and if it Is
announced on the morning of March
80 that Ottumwa has elected Captain
Emery as mayor, the whole surround
ing country will feel that Ottumwa
has awakened Ito realization of it's
possibilities and that it is going
ahead, and going to expand and grow
as never before.
Let everyone vote for Emery and
help make the newer and greater o.
tumwa.

AS the municipal election in Spring

acquaint the righteous people of the
Illinois city with the responsibility
that rests upon them in the pending
municipal election.
Politicians and municipal conditions,
and their allied adherents were strip
ped Of their outer garments Tuesday
night and scourged with the lash Of
oratory by Sunday in his sermon on
mo Man Cares For My Soul" The
sermon was addressed before an audi
ence Of 5000 men and women, who
closely followed the famous evangelist
through his discourse of reasoning
and deduction. At the close people
focked to the front to grasp Rev
Sundays hand, thereby protesting
publicly their desire to lead Chris,
tian life.
Scores Politicians.
1t was toward the close of the ser
mon that the evangelist turned his re
marks directly on the politicians.
"The saloon keeper doesn't care fol
your SOUL" said Mr.. Sunday. 1.-THE
politicians doesn't care for your soul
He says, Vote for me today and yor

men, hundreds of them, in Springfield

Hon. H. L. Waterman in his speech
at the Armory last night brought out
clearly that outside pressure has al
ways been necessary during the last
two years to secure even partial en-
forcement of the law. The Liquor
Dealers association forced the saloon
keepers to more nearly observe the
laws. Mayor Phillips did not do it.
Gambling was not stopped by Mayor
Phillips or the police. 1t was neces-
sary for outside parties to bring suf-
ticient evidence before the grand jury
to secure the indictment of large
number of gamblers before the lawless
practice was stopped.

WARNING AGAINST USING
WATtR FOR PRIVATE Kinks
Laurium Authorities to Provide
Penalty for those Who Cause
Water Waste.
VILLAGE MAY PROVIDE SPORT

The authorities Of the village of
Laurium issued warning yesterday
against the use OF lake water for ice
Kinks. \ penalty has already been
provided for those who violate this
edict and IL Will be rigidly enforced,
I'm addition to fine imposed in court
any offender is likely To have his water
shut off for one whole year.
There are two reasons why il Is
necessary to enforce such an order.
Naturally The waste is the most OBJ
vious reason, but the danger of freez-
ing the water pipes is almost as i'm
portant. The carelcssness which al
most always accompanies the building
OF an outdoor rink by boys might mako
il possible for the pipes to freeze,
causing the town authorities more or
less Inconvenience and trouble. 1t is
important that parents should warn
their children against the use OF lake
water for this purpose.
1t has been suggested that the Laur-
ium village might provide one largo
open air rink for the benefit of chill
dren. and il suitable site could be
secured il is believed that such pro-
icct will be undertaken. The cost Of
building such n rink and maintaining
il throughout the entire winter would
probably not exceed $3.50, and a move
ment i'm this direction would come un-
der the head of public playground.
1t is known that several OF the mem
bcrs of the council would favor such n
move and that President Reynolds
would not be averse to bringing it
about If the opportunity presented it
self. when asked his position in the
matter yesterday Mr.. Reynolds seemed
favorably impressed and stated that
ne thought the children should be pro-
vided with a free outdoor rink if pos
sible. He stated that the same could
be flooded with dam water, and that
no attendant would be necessary eX-
cept in the very busy hours and to
flood the rink. The boys would prob
ably willingly assist in keeping the ice
free from snow. The only difficulty at
present seems to be the site. and if one
sufficiently large can be secured, the
children Of Laurium, who have not

The fine new electric light and water
systems at the Eagle River hotel have
