Prohibition Law
re Il tie Provisions Of the Re
Gently Enacted Liquor Law


son Of Redfield, and q number of
the house in the last legislature
and who was chairman Of the COM
mittee on temperance in that body,
spoke at the Evangelical church
last Sunday evening, calling atten-
ton to the provisions Of the law,
giving reasons for its enactment
as it was. and soliciting the united
support Of all good citizens in its
rigid enforcement. Following as
given by the Sioux Falls Argus
Leader a short time ago are some
of the very important provisions
Of the law, which is q long one,
embracing considerable temperance
legislation in former laws, and fill
ing nearly 100 pages Of printed
matter:
Under the law the governor who
is made the ommander-in-chief of
the enforcement army, is given
authority to remove from Office
any states attorney, sheriff or po-
lice officer who fails to do his duty.
Section three defines ''intoxi"at-
ing liquor as any liquid capable
of use as q beverage confirming. al
cohol which definition makes the
sale of grape juice in this state IL
legal, though it Is not likely that
any attempt would be made to in
terfere with the sale of soft drinks
Section ten and eleven prohibits
the whole liquor business for bev-
erage purposes in as many ways
and as drastic language as can be
framed. Under these sections it
is unlawful even to wire OF tee
phone for an order for booze, or to
write for it, or print an advertise
ment for it. For tie first offense
the maximum fine is $1,000 and
six months in Jail and for succeed
ing offenses a penitentiary sentence
is provided.
Section thirteen makes it unlaw-
ful after the frs Of July to adver-
tise intoxicants in any way. II
posters or bills are put up, it is
the duty Of the officers to remov
the same, and to arrest those re-
sponsibie for display. If a news
paper prirts any paid article on
this subject giving arguments
against prohibition, it must be
plainly marked a. such at both the
beginning and the end of the arti-
Gle and the statement must be made
as to who is paying for the same.

the sotial club in such = way as to
