Local Ministers silent.

Little light is thrown on the situa-
tion by local ministers. 1t is known
that pulpits in the following churches
will be occupied: Westminster Pres
byterian, First Baptirt, First Christian,
United Presbyterian, Methodist Epis-
copal and Congregational
1t is understood that the Anti-Saloon
league workers are in Lee county to
work up sentiment against the saloon
question with the advent of a petition
in circulation which may restore the
saloons to Montrose, West Point,
nonnellson, Franklin st. Paul and
Pilot Grove. This petition was circu-
lated on election day, which was be-
lieved to be a good time to inaugurate
the move, for it is necessary that it
be signed by sixty-five percent of the
qualified voters.

Invention Of the Salad.

Delicate cookery has long been
known to flourish best in those lands
where roast beef is hard to get. It
was starvation that invented the
salad, for example Somebody had to
eat grass or go hungry, SO he put
vinegar and oil, pepper and salt on it.

History of Case.

Originally when the saloons of Lee
county went under the mulct law
there were petitions of general con-
sent circulated in both Keokuk and
Fort Madison and the petitions for
both of these towns We're found by the
board of supervisors to be sufficient,
and no appeal was ever taken from
the finding of the board IN this re-
gard. In the county, which included
the outlaying districts, where a petit
ton signed by sixty-five percent of the
qualified electors was required, rep.
resentatives of the Anti-Saloon league
appeared before the board of super.
visors and claimed that the petition
was not sufficient That ostensibly
there were names on the petition to
a greater amount than sixty-five per
cent of the qualified electors, that still
a great many of these names did not
correspond with the names which ap-
peared on the various poll books !;
that after such names were stricken
off the petition there would not be the
required sixty-five percent.

Spreading Happiness.

Happiness, at least, is not solitary;
1t joys to communicate; it loves 9th.
ers, for 1t depends on them for its ex.
istence; 1t sanctions and encourages
to all delights that are not unkind in
themselves. The very name and ap.
pearance of happy man breathe OF
good nature, and help the rest of us
to live.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

Judge Bank and holding that the petit
ton was not sufficient.
Saloons Were Effected.
The result of this supreme court de-
cision was to make all saloons in Lee
county outside of Keokuk and Fort
Madison illegal and upon the issuance
of the mandate by that court all of the
saloons were closed in November,
1909, and have remained closed since
that time
1t will be seen from the subsequent
history of Lee county's saloon inter
ests that this decision only affected
the saloons in the districts outside of
Keokuk and Fort Madison as no ap.
peal was taken to test the suficien-
cies of the petitions for Keokuk and
Fort Madison, as might have been ex-
pected when the lower court was re-
versed at Des Moines.
New Petition Out.
Now it is understood that a new
petition is being circulated in the
county outside of Keokuk and Fort
Madison, the purpose of, which is to
/ gain the general consent to the sale
of intoxicating liquors under the mulct
law. If such consent is obtained the
saloons may reopen by complying
with other well known provisions of
the mulct law.
| With the coming of the Anti-Sa1oon
league men into the county again 1t
appears as though history VIII be re-
peated, although the saloon interests
may be more successful in securing a
| petition that will be held sufficient
1t is understood also, that the time
will soon expire when petitions will
have to be circulated in both Keokuk
and Fort Madison. The time limit is
| five years, and this Is almost up.
With this established fact it is init
mated that the Anti-Saloon league is
preparing to wage battle in these two
| towns and the vanguard of the or
gained force which is battling the
4 liquor question has descended upon
! Keokuk to wage its war.

Finding of suptrvisor,.

The board of supervisors, however,
made finding that the petition was
sufficient. An appeal was taken to
the district court in the case of Scott
VS.. Naacke ct al, whereby it was
sought to have the finding of the
board of supervisors set aside. The
district court, however, refused to in
terfere with the finding of the board.
holding that the petition was sufi-
cient, thus making it possible for the
saloons in the townships to continue
in business
From this decision of the district
court an appeal was taken to

Keokuk will be hot bed of Anti
Saloon league workers today. 1t was
announced Saturday that pulpits of six
of the evangelical churches Of the
city will be occupied by representa-
tives of this anti-saloon organization
and that in the evening a representa-
tive will address the union services
at the First Baptist church.
Saloon interests are deeply inter
ested, but it is said that they are not
necessarily alarmed. 1t is known that
the Anti-Saloon league workers have
infested the outlaying districts in Lee
county since Tuesday, the day of cleo
ton. when new petition was circu-
lated by saloon interests which would
make it possible to open up saloons
in territory which came under the
ban following supreme court decis-
ion about two years ago. With the
scene Of operation shifted to Keokuk
temporarily, the whole movement as.

Agitation on Today.
Saloons Wore Effected.

This agitation against the saloons
will have its inception today in the
six churches above named. The move
is voluntary one on the part of the
organization, it is believed, and it is
not at the instigation of local minis
tiers or the ministerial association.
While the movement throughout the
county is attended by considerable
turmoil, Fort Madison and Keokuk
saloon keepers feel reasonably safe,
for they do not believe that the Anti
Saloon league will carry the crusade
into the two cities.
The supreme court decision affect.
ing the country districts had the ef-
feet of closing two saloons in Mont
rose, three in West Point, two in DON
nelson and one each in Franklin st.
Paul and Pilot Grove. 1t is in these
small places that interest to the great

Winnipeg Street Car Company Is Run.

Winnipeg, Man., Dec. TO- The
street car strike is developing quietly
although the tension is high. The
company is not running more than
half service. Policemen are in all the
cars. College boys are still in evil
dence as amateur motormen and con.
ductors although their examinations
are calling them off. A number of
men arrived from the East but they
are being kept in the background
Men at the strike headquarters ap-
pear resOlute. An immediate appeal
will be made to all unions for support
and there is little doubt that all will
respond to what is looked upon by
unions as carefully engineered
scheme of the company to fight the
union on a field of it's own choosing.
They point out that the present wage
agreement expires in the spring and
they allege that this issue is being
fought in order to break the union.
Undoubtedly there will be trouble be-
fore the men give in, as many of them
are desperate. None of the men have
gone back so far and there is little
probability of their returning by to-
morrow noon, when the company's ul-
timatum expires.
