ENFORCE THELAW.

ENFORCE THE LAW.
On proceedings instituted by the 10
cal county attorneys office twenty-five
persons holding federal licenses to sell
liquor at retail were brought into the
superior court yesterday afternoon
charged with selling liquor in violation
of the state law The Iowa statute pro
vides that possession of such license
from the general government is pre-
sumptive evidence of intent to sell.
This effects reversal of the usual
legal presumption that an accused
person is presumed to be innocent I'M
til proven guilty and puts upon the ac-
cused the burden of proving, himself in
nocent How many, if any, OF those
charged with "bootIegging" will be
able to do this remains to be seen.
The movement inaugurated by the
county attorney is in the right direc
ton and should be carried forward to
entirely too much disregard of law in
this city in recent months, and 1t is
high time that its supremacy should
be vindicated beyond all possibility of
dispute. 1t will not be so indicated
if those found guilty are let off with
nominal fines This has been the pro-
cedure in the past in the few cases in
which the violators of the law have
been called to account. They prompt
ly paid the small fines assessed against
},,,,, Cd ot al od tho
sale of liquor Illegally Prosecutions
conducted with no better result are
farce. Instead of discouraging illegal
selling they encourage it. The "boot-
leggers'' and those in charge of ''holes-
in-the-wall" figure that 1t is cheaper
to pay small fines even at frequent in
tervals than to engage In the business
under protection of law, and some of
them have openly boosted of their adj
vantage in this and other respects
over those engaged in conducting Ii
censed and well-regulated saloons. A
license to sell liquor in Keokuk under
the provisions of the mulct law costs
$1,000 annually. A "bootlegser" could
pay fines aggregating 500 month
and be $500 ahead of licensed dealer
at the end of a year knowledge OF
this fact encourages the practice of
selling Illegally.
Happily an effective remedy is at
hand, and 1t is only necessary to apply
it to bring the Illegal sale of liquor in
Keokuk to an abrupt end. The law
provides that injunctions shall issue
against property in or on which liquor
is sold contrary to law. 1t also makes
the owners Of such property liable for
fines and costs. Let this provision of
the statute be enforced and there will
be an end of UNCONSTITUTIONAL" and
"bootlegging' in Keokuk. 1t is to be
presumed that the present prosecu-
tions were instituted in good faith. If
they were, injunctions against the
property in which illegal sales were
made will follow as proof Of what is
here assumed. If injunctions are not
made part of the penalty, the law
abiding. order-loving element of the
community will reasonably conclude
that the proceedings were for grand
stand" effect, as were others that pre-
coded them, and were intended simply
for what is known in the language of
the street as "stall" We shall see
what we shall see.

The Board of Education made a
splendid selection when it chose
George S. Tucker as successor to j.
E. Baker. Mr. fuckers long residence
in Keokuk, his loyalty to the best IN
terests of the city, and his natural
qualifications for the position make
him a valuable acquisition to the
board. His acceptance Is cause for
congratulation because men OF his
standing and ability are needed to
guide the great public school inter
ests 1t is regretted that Mr.. Bakers
business affairs necessitated his re-
tirement from the board. He was an
aggressive and progressive member
and had Mr. Baker had his way about
Keokuk public schools the city would
now be the possessor of several mod
ern new school homes.

was discovered that the line ran a
few feet south OF the property in ques-
ton. They broke the news to the old
lady that from then on she was to be
a resident of Virginia That's good. ?

The progressive" vote in the Third
district of Maine on Monday showed
a falling off of about so percent from
that given Roosevelt last November.
The republican vote, on the other
hand, was 10S per cent greater than
the vote for Taft. The result in Maine
is large straw and it shows very
clearly and conclusively which way
the wind blows.

gene Lamb Richards spoke At length.

bag men," who were securing the
city and state Of New York for checks
and cash.
Richards intimatsd that 6ulser
worked the game for al there was In
It. He said: !.
~He had . bag himself. which was
as open to Q ten thousand dollar con-
tribution as to two dollar one. He
did more than collect and hold these
funds. He intended to keep them to
buy stocks, and to supply margins for
stock speculations."
Richards went at length into oil the
charges against Sulxer, his arraign-
ment being not only . recapitulation
OF the charges, but including . bitter
personal attack in which he said:
High 10 the once. high the posi-
ton Of william SulEer, but low and
sordid the crimes and misdemsanors
which We are prepared to prove
against him. The chief ofenses OF
the respondent are plain ones OF
