AMONG THE CLUBS

The Christmas holidays are ov-
err now and the former routine is be-
ing resumed. That is, to certain
extent. OF course many new and
helpful resolutions have been made
and the new year promises to be a
happy one. Those who are the least
superstitious, however, have already
prophesied dark clouds and rock
bound coast ahead, owing to the in
nocent "13" attached to the year
number. But with everything on
the boom, the high cost of living be-
ing reckoned with by the ambitious
club women, the fine winter weather
which has lasted up to this date.
and the many other blessings which
the people have to be thankful for,
we surely will pull through, even if
there is democrat at the helm of
state.
There will be no meeting of the
Hedonists this week.
The Puritan Girls will meet with
Miss Lena Martin this evening.

0TTUNWA SALO0N|STS
ARE GIVEN VICTORY
Consent Petition Declared Sufficient
by Canvassers.

Ottumwa, Jan. THE saloon
consent petition was declared suffic-
lent by the board of supervisors here
yesterday afternoon by vote of two
to one. The petition war has been
waged between the "drys" and the
"wets" since Nov. 10.
The city council last night was Pc
titioned to grant permits to several
prospective saloonkeepers, but no &C
tion was taken on the permits.
The "drys" at the announcement
of the boards action yesterday after
noon gave immediate notice of ap-
peal to the district court. The sa-
loon petition was filed Dec. Is with
an apparent majority of S53 sigma
lures. The canvass by the board Of
supervisors was commenced Jan. q.
On Jan. 8 at noon the drys got a
restraining order stopping the super
visors from continuing the canvass
on the grounds that the board was
not proceeding rightly in not admit
ting evidence dealing with the char
acter of some of the circulators Of
the saloon petition. The hearing on
the restraining order was held Sat
urday morning.
The court found that the supervis-
ors were proceeding lawfully and
dissolved the injunction.
Saloons are expected to open in
Ottumwa by Tuesday, Jan. Is and
remain open for five years, unless
the district court reverses the de-
cision of the board of supervisors
when the case is appealed.

LOCAL OPTION GAMBLING

A local option gambling bill was
introduced into the assembly.
Monday by Adams of Esmeralda
county. 1t was referred to the
committee on public morals where
it should be allowed to sleep.
The bill is to 60 into effect i'm
mediately after passage and pro-
vides that in all counties of the
state local option shall prevail on
the question of permitting all
games now prohibited by law to be
operated.
Under the terms of the bill not
more than 500 per quarter shall
be charged as license. Upon the
petition of 50 percent of the quail
fled electors. county commissioners
shall call a special election for the
purpose of voting on the question
and on petition of Is per cent OF
the qualified electors the question
shall be voted upon at the next
regular election.
The bill refers to "any games or
gambling devices now prohibited
by law" The license is to be paid
monthly.
When d special election is dema nd
ed it shall be set bv the commits
sioners for date not more than 80
days after receipt of the petition.
Failure on the part IF any COM
missioner to perform the duties
prescribed by the act is punishable
by removal from office.
While there may be some COM
munities in the state where 80 per
cent of the voters would sign
petition calling for special cleo
tion 10 vote upon the question of
open gambling we doubt very much
if here is a community in the state
that would open this avenue of ruin
TO its people.
But there may be such a COM
munity. one that would drag the
good name of the state into the
mire for the benefit of lot of
gamblers who care nothing about
the sorrow and distress and crime
that resulted from open gambling
IN the past and will result from it
again. Ii there is such a commun-
ity we hope there is manhood enough
in the Legislature to say to it: The
good name Of the state and the prn-
lection of its people are of far
more importanc to US than filling
the pockets of few gamblers with
i'll gotten gains.
The money these games would
bring into the state and county
treasures is too trifling to receive
any consideration wnen placed
against The evil they produce,
Crime followed these games in the
past and will follow them again.
Criminal prosecutions will more
than eat up the license money t.
say nothing about the poverty ard
distress and sorrow that always
follow the result Of crime. &C..
