keokuk Saloons.

Clerk o. w. Sandberg consulted the
records in his Office this morning and
found that none of keokuks saloons
would be affected by the decision. Be-
fore the law became effective there
were fortyfour saloons in the city.
The number has diminished nv five.
leaving thirty-nine here at the
present time. The law was supposed
to have become effective July q, but
the supreme court in Holding that it
was effective from April Is, thus
makes licenses issued between these
dates null and void.
All such licenses secured in towns
where there was more than one sa-
loon for each Loo inhabitants are in
validated and must be recalled by the
cities and towns issuing them.
The case which brought forth the
opinion of the high court was a test
case instituted in Sioux City by II. II.
Sawyer against L j. Gallagher and
others The action was tried on an
agreed statement of facts Gallagher
secured his license June 30, 1909
after the passage of the Moon bill
and before July 4. At that time there
was more than one saloon to every
LOCO inhabitants in Sioux City That
was agreed in the statement of facts
The only question involved was as &c
the time the law became operative
If the contention of the drys that il
became effective upon being signed
by the governor was held correct
then a permanent injunction should
issue against Gallagher, it was agreed
If it was held, however, that the Law
did not become effective until, July 4
then Gallagher should retain his Ii
cense.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-04-19

object sought was to limit the number
of saloons. This could be done only
by making the law effective upon its
passage and approval by the governor
This was the intent of the assembly,
the opinion says, and there is no
grounds for believing that the legis-
lature intended to make it an open
season for saloon licenses between
the time of the passage of the bill
and July 4.

ARRANGING To PAY
COST OF THE WAR
FIRST DUTY OF NEW MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT.
The Amount is Estimated at Not Less
Than s2o,oO0.OoO

Mexico City. May 2S.-Measures for
the ultimate disposition of the insur-
recto army and the payment of the
costs of war are the first matters to
which Barra is devoting official at
tention. The president has proposed
to dissolve most of the revolutionary
forces using some to augment the
ranks Of the rurales organized by
DiaZ; the remainder to be given as
sistance to get employment and return
to their homes. All will be paid off
as though mustered out of the reg
ular army
Barra is considering 4 measure for
the immediate settlement in full Of
claims proved against the government
He has proposed a committee of five
to pass upon all claims as soon as
presented to those properly qualified
A clause will authorize the immediate
payment of such claims as are ap-
proved.
Diplomats estimate the war cost at
not less than $2O.OOO,OOO, gold and that
perhaps one-tenth of this is due for
damages sustained by foreigners. Half
of this amount, it is said on high
authority, Is the loss suffered by Am
orleans. In the legations, foreigners
have already begun arranging their
claims. although the greater part re-
mains to be filed.
The claims of China will be re-
markable for the number of individ-
uals demanding indemnity. Almost
all these come from Sonora and Coah-
uila, where the Chinese We're victims
of mobs. Reports from TOrreon re-
ceived at the Chinese legation say that
the number of dead in the massacre
of May 16 is 23S. Most of the vic
Tins were comparatively poor and
those surviving have found difficulty
in supplying themselves with food.
The Chinese reform association at
the capital, today opened n subscrip-
ton list for funds to aid their cOun-
trymen. The claims of Japan are
based upon the death of seven Jap

MONDAY

dividual men, is what eXalteth the indi-
vidual himself, is what we call right
eousness. Opinions shift and change
with the changing centuries. but the
eternal truth never changes. 1t is "the
same yesterday. today, and forever"
Right and wrong are primal facts in
the universe They are sharply de-
fined and opposed, like darkness and
light, to each other. There are plenty
of things as to which good men and
women may differ. We NAV differ. for
example, as to the methods ov which
intemperance shall be put down. We
may believe in a law of strict temper
ance in the literal meaning of the
word, but we have no right t. doubt
that drunkenness itself is wrong. steal
ing is stealing; murder is murder; "
ing is lying; impurity is impurity: and
nothing can change these facts. try as
hard as we can to call them by softer
words and conceal their real meaning.
1t is dishonest to put your car fare
Of cents back into your pocket and
ride free, because the conductor has
overlooked you. You would not think
of picking cents out of a mans
pocket. You ought to know that this
is dishonest. Men will cheat a cor
poration when they would be unwilling
to cheat an individual.
We believe i'm the principle of hon
esty, of not getting something for
nothing, and yet some of US may defy
the law of the land and the law of honor
by gambling in one form or another.
The principle is the same thing, wheth-
er il is done in Il so-called gambling
hell" or amid the refined and pagan
surroundings Of a fashionable drawing
room.
In the terrible disclosures that have
been made in recent years in the in
dustrial world, we have seen the great
danger that faces this country. because
so many Of our trusted men have failed
10 recognize the boundary line, sharp
and decisive. between honesty and dis
honesty
The integrity Of the nation is threat
ened, when it has become possible, not
only for legislation to be controlled. but
even the course Of justice to be tam
pered with. through the use of money
in the hands of dishonest men. But
this is no reason why we should lose
our heads and our faith, even before
these tremendous evils that we have
been and are facing now.
