Hamlin sat motionless. staring at

Hamlin never forgot those two days

IN TOUCH WITH MERCHANTS.
Commissioner Barnsy Believes in "0st
Together" Meetings.


Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. Accommodations
Barney Of the state pure food and
dairy department will hold a. meeting
with the merchants Of Mason City on
Monday evening, the next evening IN
Dubuque, then Clinton and Cedar Rap
ids. at all of which the matter OF en-
forcement of the pure food and allied
laws will be explained and considered.
He will be accompanied by E. w. Van
Duyn who has special charge OF the
weights and measures law. This week
they held meetings with merchants IN
Council Bluffs and Atlantic. 1t is found
that the best way to get fair start
with all these laws Is to get the mer-
chants together and to talk over with
them frankly all matters relating to
these laws. to give them an under
standing Of what is intended by the
laws and the manner Of enforcement
thereof. In almost every instance
where this is done the department Sc
cures the assistance and cooperation
Of the merchants of a city. The new
law in regard to sanitary conditions
where foodstuff is prepared or sold Is
most difficult Of enforcement and the
weights and measures law Is hard
matter In some communities.

saloons will be reopened in short order.
A new consent petition is now sub
stantially ready. 1t will be canvassed
as quickly as possible and rushed thru.
1t was announced yesterday that al
ready about, 900 names have been Sc
cured to the saloon petition. The COM
mittee expects to secure 10000 names,
which will leave a wide margin. The
board Of supervisors would favor quick
action in the matter of making the
com parison of names with the poll list.
The courts would be slow to declare
the petition insufficient. In the mean
time eighty-tive saloons paying a rev.
enue to the city of s107,5O0 year
would be open.
Business Element Decides.
The real deciding element in favor
of the reopening Of the saloons is the
business element. not merely the re-
tail merchants in ordinary trade, but
the owners of moving picture houses,
the owners of hotels and cafes, the
automobile dealers, and most of all
those who are interested In the large
office buildings In the city. The fact
is that the business element Of Des
Moines is figuratively scared to death"
over the prospect of vacant rooms and
declining prices and reduced revenues
and higher taxation. etc. 1t is a fact,
whether it is to their credit or not,
that the organization of business men
the same organization which backed
the fight against the teamsters and up
held the street railway when the strike
was on--has got behind the saloon pc
tition movement and will see to it that
ever possible influence is exerted to
secure a sufficient petition and to have
the saloons remain open.
Play Shrcwd Game.
The petitioners have played a good
game in that they have done the cir
culating Of petitions at time when
there is much feeling that the sum-
mary closing Of the saloons on tech
nicality was UNFAIR A great many
persons have signed. the petitions who
at other times would not care to vote
that way.
The temperance people admit the
practical hopelessness OF their cause at
this time, but are well organized to
carry on the fight. They were con-
ident that there Is less sentiment for
saloons here than formerly, but this
