EDITORIAL
Waakeean Daily GaSefte, Monday, August 80, 1915

General Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva
has had the satisfaction of again putting
his foes to rout.
The wisdom of John Alexander Dowie
and the legal talent with which he sur
rounded himself has again asserted itself
and proved to be unassailabe
The drug store and the tobacco store will
have no place in the city of ZION, unless a
higher court than the circuit court of the
seventeenth judicial district dissolves the
injunction which the three sitting Judges
en- banc, have granted to the Volivaites.
The lands and lots of ZION were not
sold; they were leased to whoever wished
to lease them; they belonged to the estate
Of ZION and at no time passed out Of the
ownership Of the estate. Wilbur Glenn
VoIiva is at the head of the estate, and he
brought suit to have the drug store and to-
bacco store ousted and asked they be re-
strained from continuing business. They
have been restrained.
Ihere is deep rooted desire IN the
makeup of most men to do that which they
should not do. 1t showed up in this case
as it has shown up in other cases in ZION
CITY. The land on which the drug store
stood was leased ground, and one Of the
covenants which went with the transfer of
the land or the use Of it, was that no drug
store or tobacco store should be conducted
thereon. 1t was written in the lease, and
still the lessee wanted to do that which his
lease forbade. There are other towns
where man can purchase or rent land
for the purpose of operating drug stores,
but the man in ZION wanted to operate in
ZION. In a place where the founders of
the city did not want such things to exist.
1t would seem to most men without go
ing into the legal phases of the case that the
judges Of the circuit court had settled the
matter correctly, and in a common sense
sort Of way. If the people who are in the
majority in ZION do not want drug stores,
tobacco stores or saloons, there is no good
reason why they should be forced to have

THE COURTS ORDER

The court holds as a matter of law that
the defendants had knowledge Of the re-
strictive covenants imbodied in the original
leases issued by John Alexander Dowie;
that having such knowledge they took title
to the premises burdened with said restric-
tive covenants; that such covenants are not
personal but run with the land; that such
covenants are not against public policy that
the use Of the premises for the purpose al
legged in the bill are violations of the rights

ants are entitled to an injunction restraining

in the bill of complaint.

RULING AN IMPORTANT

When John Alexander Dowie founded
ZION CITY years ago he made what he be
lieved were iron clad provisions against the
drug stores, tobacco shops and doctor Of
fees. The leases were drawn UP by fam
Gus attorney and everything was thought
to have been done that could be done to
keep these forms Of business out of the city.
However, with the passing of time, and
the death Of Dowie and the taking over of
the reins of government by Voliya, drug
store, conducted by w. Fl. Fabry and Brad
Simmons did creep in on the sacred"
ground. The injunction as issued to-day
prohibits its operation.

VOLIVA WINS IN COURT
Famous Lease Case Settled This Morning

Famous Lease Case Settled This Morning
The latest chapter in the famous ZION
CITY lease case was written in the Lake
County circuit court here to-day, when
Judge Claire c. Edwards, who, with Judges
Donnelly and Frost, sat on the arguments
for an injunction against drug stores in
ZION, read from his seat on the bench here
the ruling of the three judges in which Vol
iva is proclaimed the winner in the legal bat
tie for the custer of pharmacies, tobacco
shops and doctors offices from ZION CRY.
The order granting the in junction was a
lengthy one. The gist of it however, was
contained in the last paragraph wherein it
is stated in effect that the injunction shall
issue against the forms of business men
toned.
VoLIvA PRESENT
This is the biggest case I have ever had
in court" Voiva stated to Gazette repre-
sentative a moment after the decision had
been read. 1T is a great victory for ZION"
he continued as he glanced back over the
crowded court room wherein sat his follow
ers, numbering some two hundred.
Thank you Voliva said simply when
congratulated.
The ruling in the case has been long
looked forward to by the followers of the
Overseer of ZION. When the arguments
for and against the issuance of the injunc-
ton were being heard before the three
judges there the court room was filled each
day With the closing of the case the faith
full folded their tents, as it were, and moved
away to ZION and their homes, where they
have waited for the ruling
No DEMONSTRATION
There was no demonstration in the court
room when the full import of the courts
ruling was made known. The residents of
ZION who had been praying for such ruling,
sat as though schooled for the moment and
when the attorneys for both sides had ar
ranged the matter of bond and the other
preliminary steps necessary before the in
junction would be enforced they filed from
the room and went again to their homes in
