, Working In Harmony.

City county and state authorities
are working in harmony. each with
the same object in view, that, the en-
forcement of the laws and the stamp
ing out of bootlegging and illegal
sale Of liquor.
The city authorities have made ef
forts to suppress the illegal opera
lions in the past. A number OF raids
were made and forty-three 1nforma'
tons filed under the direction OF the
city authorities. resulting in seven
teen injunctions being Issued IN the
last term OF court.
Despite the efforts of the city of.
ficials, conditions failed to materially
improve and assistance was asked
from the state attorneys Office. A
letter was dispatched to Cosson sew
eral months ago, asking for help In
the campaign here. In a reply a few
days later, this was promised. A
short while afterwards a representa-
tive from the states attorneys Of
flee came to Keokuk and conferred
with the city authorities. Informa-
ton concerning bootlegging activ-
tiles in Keokuk was given to him.
The state man said that state officers
would come to Keokuk to assist in
the work, but would probably con-
duct their work without letting even
the city know about it.
Late In Coming.
Several months passed, however,
before Special Agent Terrell and his
force of ten men made their spectac-
ular raid on Keokuk temp bars.
Since that time city and state men
have been graphing with the situa-
ton and this morning the city de-
cided to revoke the licenses of the
temp saloons.
I'VE have been working in con-
junction with the city authorities in
this matter" said J. E. Risden Of
Cedar Rapids. special agent from the
department of justice Of the state Of
Iowa.
''The city has made efforts to sup
press bootlegging here. Everyone Is
in favor of cleaning up Keokuk and
taking away the bad name it is get
ting in the state.
No License to Sell Liquor.
cit is possible that some of the
proprietors of temp bars thought
that the license given them by the
city gave them authority to sell liq-
uor The city had no such thing in
mind
These people have brought this
upon themselves. They have been
warned and they have been raided
but this apparently has done no
good. The proprietors have only
themselves to blame for the action OF
the city in revoking their licenses
Court action already begun against
the temp bar proprietors will not be
dropped, even though they are now
out of business. Action against those
places raided Saturday will be begun
also, Mr. Risden stated. Where
there are already iniunct CON
