Staunton Saloons
Closed on Sunday
Six Women Enforce the Law and
Strike Terror Into the Hearts
of Lid filters

Twenty-nine saloons in the city Of
Staunton were closed tight as drum
on Sunday for the first time in quar-
ter OF century, according to The
Edwardsvlle Intelligenccr.
One woman did it.
Five others assisted.
Men Hesitate; the Women Do 1t
After the men had spent much time
planning and conjecturing and hgur-
ing and guessing on what could be
done, and what could not be done to
get the law enforced, and how it
might be done if it could be done, a
handful of women just went ahead
and did it.
The story is one of the oldest and
richest in the annals of law enforce
ment. For years the good people of
the city had wondered how much
longer the saloonkeepers and gam
blers were to run the city in defiance
of the laws of God and man. The
women had held many meetings and
had exhausted their entreaties with
the men. At last they decided if any
thing was to be done, they must do
it themselves.

blankly. They would jot down the
number of those present, the names
OF any they happened to know, the
data as to what drinks were on the
bar, and when they had got all the
dope" they could get, retired as
quietly as they came.
Then they went before the States
Attorney, and the States Attorney
did the rest. The result is no more
Sunday saloons in Staunton.

WYOMING SURE
FOR PROHIBITION

Prohibition forces in Wyoming are
jubilant over the signing of the bill
by Gov. John B. Kcn4rick providing
for the submission of the statewide
Prohibition amendment to the voters
in 1918 The drys claim there is abb
solutely no doubt about the adoption
of the amendment when the people
get a chance to vote upon it.

Municipal Court Magistrate
and United Societies Chief
Seen in the Role of
Law Maker
FREES 10 SALOONKEEPERS
Ruling Does Not Affect Revocation
Power Of Mayor Who Says
He Will Enforce Law
NO LET-UP SAYS SCHUETTLER

Judge Bernard Barasa OF the Mu-
nicipal Court freed ten saloonkeepers
last Friday who were before him for
violations of the Sunday closing law
In his decision the Judge is reported
to have said:
The statute does not prohibit sa-
loonkeepeis from having their places
open on Sunday. 1t merely prohibits
them from having them open and SELL
ing liquo'.'
What the Statute Really Says
The language OF the statute is as
follows:
Whoever keeps open any tippling
house Piu~S lere- nqr~~->1
or given away, upon the first day of
the week, commonly called Sunday,
shall be fined not TO exceed $780,"
1t will be noted that the statute
closes tippling houses on Sunday for
any purpose whatever. The language
is too plain and explicit to be mis-
understood, and lawyers, both wet
and dry, take issue with Judge Barasa
in his Interpretation of the statute.
"This is bran new law" said one.
The contention that saloonkeepers
could sell cigars and soft drinks OH
Sunday was the basis of suits before
Federal Judge Carpenter and Judge
Bretano which sought to restrain
Mayor Thompson from closing the
doors of the saloons. Both suits were
lost"
Mayor Can Still Revoke Licenses
Another attorney, discussing the
prospective effect OF the decision,
said:
"If Judge Barasa continues to sit in
the Maxwell street branch of the Mu-
nicipal Court the territory within his
jurisdiction may become an oasis i'll
the Sunday desert.
But, of course, saloonkeepers con-
templating such plan must not for
get Mayer Thompson's power to re-
woke licenses. 1t is to be taken for
granted that he will be guided by his
own law department in determining
what are violations of the closing
law"
Barasa Active in United Societies
Judge Barasa, acco.ding to the
Tribune, is one of the younger
Judges. He is but SO years old and
has been on the bench only short
time For several years he has been
active in the United Societies.
Two weeks after Mayor Thomp-
sons order for the enforcement of
the Sunday law he brought to its
feet" a meeting of the United Socie-
ties in which he denounced Mayor
Thompson He said b.. had worked
for him and supported him. But he
urged his hearers to get out at the
election the next spring ard vote
down the dry forces"

How They Did 1t

On Sunday night, week ago, six
women met and divided into two par
ties of three each. They started out
at $50. They visited II saloons and
collected sufficient evidence to tor
pedo the Sunday saloon business in
Staunton for all time.
Their plan of action was the same
in all cases. They would quietly en-
ter a saloon while the amazed bar
tender and patrons gazed at them

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. 19.-Just three more
victories for the Giants and the ma
tional leagues 1917 race will be over.
And by the same kind of figuring, the
White Sox need only seven more con-
tests to make it impossible for the
Red Sox to head them off
The Giants today are ahead of the
lilies by II and a half games, with
Ii more games remaining on their
schedule. The Phillies must still play
Is. If the Phillies win Is straight they
will wind up the season with go VIC
tories and 60 defeats. which would
give them a percentage of sos. II the
Giants win three more they would
have a percentage of $40 at the end Of
the season, If they lost all their other
games.
EIGHT GAMES IN LEAD.
The White Sox are out In front by
eight full games, with II contests left.
The Red Sox have II to play before
II is a seasons work. If the Chicago
ans win seven more the lowest pos
sible percentage they could finish with
would be 1852. The Red Sox. by win
ming II in a row could finish with a
mark Of .655.
The Red Sox are hanging on tight
They are winning just as consistently
of late as are the White Sox, but they
are billed with the stronger teams of
the league now and will have to fight
harder to maintain an unbroken string
of victories.
The Giants are practically through
with the hard knocks. When they fin
ish with Chicago they go to Pitts
burg.
