This information was asked for by the Business Mems club. The policse were commended for their good work in clearing the city of the illicit liquor sellers and were urged to continue their efforts along the same line. An ordinance was introduced to compel the owners of fowls to keep them con fined, and this was referred to the judi ciary committed Considerable routine work was also attended to.

VOLUME VII

A most noteworthy judicial decision has just been
handed down by the appellate court of the state of
Illinois for the third district The facts interesting
In April 1908, both the township and the city of
Shelbyvlle voted become anti-saoon territory. At
the election three years later when the question
up on petition by the "wets," the township voted
"wet" There election in the city, so the city
remained anti-saoon territory. The question
whether under the circumstances the city council had
right to license saloons in Shebyvile.
We were satisfied that they did not have any such
right It is the provision of the local option law that
if the township votes "dry it includes the city within
it, but that if the township does wish to vote dry
the city may do so. The point had been decided
by courts until the from Shelbyville.
In defiance of the law the city council pretended
to pass ordinance granting license to saloons.
Then followed period of law violation extending
almost two years. Finally after the Anti : Saloon
League and the friends of temperance locally had
labored hard to prosecutions Of the vioators
of the law the matter taken up solicitation
by the attorney general by way of injunction proceed
ings and the carried to the appellate court
Decision Upholds Right of Injunction.
The decision is exceedingly far-reaching for it
provides very valuable aid in the enforcement of the
local option law. The court says
The city of Shebyvle being antisaoon territory, the
question presented is, has of equity jurisdiction

Intoxicating liquors. the suit of the attorney general of
the state without allegation of pecuniary damage to

of the statute
This doctrine that the attorney general has power

that the nuisance pecunary damage to the public
Appellants insist that because the statute provides
remedy by indictment and that conviction the criminal
may order abating the nuisance that the
remedy law ample and of equity may take

The court takes occasion to hit the liquor traffic
stunning blow straight in the face:
The traffic in Intoxicating liquor is recognized
evil and society," and statute for the curtang
prevention of such traffic should be literally
This statute enacted with view of promoting anti
saloon territory.
What the Decision Does
The courts decision does three important things:
I. It declares the right of injunction in the abate
ment Of nuisances under the local option law And
nuisance under the local option law is place where
liquor is sold contrary to that law Here's another
why every "dry" community in the state should
vote to become anti-saoon territory under this law
that it may avail itself of this powerful weapon of
Ell -lltment
2. 1t declares that when a township votes "wet,"
the city within the township may still vote "dry' if
it chooses do So In other words, when township
votes to discontinue anti-saoon territory it by that
vote simply declares that AS A TOWNSHIP it does
not choose to be antsaloon territory and leaves the
question to the city village within the township.
3. 1t declares the liquor traffic to be recognized

ALUMNI REUNION

The entertainment committee of
the Rock Island high school alumni
association is to meet tonight to de-
termine the nature of the function
which will be given in honor of the
graduating class of the high school
and for the reunion of graduates of
the school. According to members
of the executive and entertainment
committees of the organization, the
banquet will give way to some other
form of entertainment because of
financial affairs. The association is
in debt at the present time and it is
the intention of the executive COM
mittee to appoint members of each
of the graduating classes of more
recent years to collect dues from
their classmen.
What sort of entertainment will
mark the annual reunion of the high
school grads is not known as yet.
There is, some possibility that the
reception and dance OF former years
will come back into favor again.
