Old Fort Madison was established
in 1905 by Zebulon NJ Pike, then on
an exploring expedition north from
st. Louis. A lieutenant and platoon
of soldiers were stationed here, quar-
tered in block houses and surrounded
by a stockade. Many stories of haz-
ardous adventures with the Indians,
romances and love stories of the In.
dian maidens and the soldiers are
handed down by the settlers One of
them which has become history is OF
the devotion of pretty indian maid
to one of the officers of the fort, how
she once saved the garrison from a
terrible fate by revealing an Indian

IN summing up in a conclusion the
burlington Hawk-Eye says:
This sudden movement against the
saloons of Burlington is not only a
great surprise to our citizens. but if is
dlfhcult to fathom the mo.Ive. Com
ing, as 1t does, upon the eve of the BIZ
ehnial election, it has the appear
ance of move by, and in the interest
of the Third Party Prohibitionists,
VINO are working for constitutional
amendment prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicants in Iowa
By entering these suits on the eve of
the election, it may be thought by the
jhlrd Party workers that the friends
OF that party will be arsur.d to in
creased activity in the campaign and
work at the polls for their ticket. Or it
may be in their thought that by bring.
ING numerous actions at Cedar Rapids
Burlington and other cities, public
opinion will be led to the conclusion
that the mulct law is a failure, that
its regulations and restrictions are
ignored by the dealers, and the only
alternative is constitutions prohibit
ton. This would have in view espe-
cially the election of members of the
general assembly who would vote to
submit a constitutional amendment to
the voters. or else the calling of a
constitutional convention.
The foregoing reasons are only con-
jectural, The HawkEye being unable
to find anyone who knows anything
about the origin and purpose of the
movement The belief has prevailed
that the saloons of Burlington have
been and are being conducted in COM
pliance with the term of the mulct
law. II is not improbable. of course,
that out of total of sixty-eight sa-
looms few may have transgressed
some provision of the law, but it
hardly seems probable that so large a
number have violated the law in any
essential particular. That, also, is con-
jectural, and it remains to be ascer-
tanned when these cases come up for
trial in the district court whether
there have been infractions sufficient
ly serious to warrant permanent in
functions.
Suits of this character ought not to
be brought upon mere techni.ai or tri-
val charges There is scarcely any
citizen who does not transgress in
some form, some statute or city ordi-
nance usually without knowledge or
wrong intention and when notified.
promptly corrects the mistake. The sa-
loon men are entitled to tn. same pol
lev of reasonable consideration where
there is no wrong intent. All are
equal before the law But where there
is fragrant and repeated violation
with manifest disregard of the liquor
law. or any other laws Of the state, OF
the city ordinances of Burlington,
then the duty of the law officers is
manifest and should be courageously
and impartially exercised.
