Hardim city assessor, acting on be- half of an organization of the saloonmen | of Council Bluffs. A list of the voters has | been copied from the poll hooks of the laat | general election and great care will be actly to the name as It appears in the poll book. The annpuncement of the combined op- posing forces of the Ministerial assocla- tion and the lowa Anti-saloon league that the names of those signing the petition would be published as soon as the docu- ment 18 tiled and bécomes of public rec- ord will undoubtedly deter many from signing the petition who otherwise would do so. ¢ The ofrculators of the petition discovered this early in the canvass yesterday. A well known business gian, on being pre- sented the petition for his signature, said: “While I have no wish to place any obt stacle in the way of the saloons doing a legltymate business, 1 cannot sign this pe- tition, as I would not like to see my name in print as being on it.”" The name of this | business man appears on the general pe- | tition of consent filed in 1800 i | As was to be expected, the Woman's | Christian Temperance union will take a | hand in the campalgn against the petition of consent. The secretary of the local union, in accordance with instructions re- ceived at the last meeting of the organiza- tion, has requested each minister of the | eity to make mention from his pulpit next | Bunday of the general petition of consent No suggestion, However, was made to the | pastors as to the manner in which they | should present the matter to thelr respec- tive congregations. “‘We did not even ask them to charge those members of their | congregations who were voters not to' sign | the petition. We have enough confidence | in the ministers of our @ity to know that | | they wlill present the matter in a manner ! which will bring the best results' de- 1(-lurod Mrs. O. G. Oldham, president of the | local union. | The old petition of general consent un- der which the saloons are operating was | tiled in 190, Tt was circulated by L. Bedison and 'F. 8. Martin and it hears 2,0 signatures. The number of signatures required at that time fs based on the vote cast at the general election in 189. This statement of consent, when filed, was not limited by law,as to the time it con- tinued in effect, The new law, however, terminates all existing petitions of con- | sent on July 1, W11 If the circulators succeed in securing the | required number of signers the new peti | tion of consent will probably be presented | to the board of supervisors at its June | session. Arnd and Hardin are to recelve ill.vm from the saloonmen for their work | in circulating the petition. ] | DOBBINS GETS A CONTINUANCE Trial of Alleged Member of Maybra: 1 Gang Put OfF Till Fall Judge Wheeler of the district court hav- ing sustained the motion of the defense | for a continuance, the trial of John R.| Dobbins, the alleged member of the J.

LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE DYING Annual Meetfng Lacked = Quoram Put Over. The Council, Bluffs Law and Order league, which started out a year ago with a considerable blare of trumphets, appears to have lapsed into a state of innocuous desuetude. The annual meeting called for Wednesday night in the south covrt room of the county court house failed for fack of a Quorum. Only six members put in an ap- pearance and under the constitution and bylaws of the organization the presence of ten members fs necessary to form a quorum. Those who put in an appearance were Attorney Kiilpack, who has been acting as president since the resignation of Attorney D. E. Stuart; Aftorne Swanson, Rev. James M. Willlams, pastor of Boradway Methodist church; Harry Cur- tis, géneral secretary of the Young Men's Christian assoctation; F. C. Lougee, and Dr. James H. Casson A #trenuous effort on the part of Mr Lougee, who spent half an hour at the telephone calling up absent members, failed to_secure a quorum and the. meeting was finally abandoned. Another effort to hold the annual meeting will be made this after- noon at 4 oclock at the office of Mr. Lougee MAYOR 18 ASKED TO "RESIGN » to Quit Unless Paid A CRESTON, ia., May 1.—(8pecial)—The £00d people of Corning are just now agi- tated by sensational developments against Mayor L.

Crandall, Spencer Treasurer—Frank, Ford, Fairfield Pardoning First-Timers, Just how far the Btate Board or Parole will exercise the extraordinary authority given it in the new law passed by the recent legislature to grant a pardon to a man convicted for the first time of a crime before he is sent to the penitentiary, is & matter of considerable speculation, The first application to the board to exercise this discretion was turn l'-lal'n. It was in a case from Des Moines, where a boy was convicted of uttering a forged instrument. His cause was taken up by Canon Bell of the Episcopal church here, who urged that as he was young and had never before been_convicted of a crime he | should be paroled. The board refused to grant this parole. Rev. Bell was incensed and openly accused the board members of being out of accord with the altrulstic spirit of this Christian age and of being hard-hearted. By this precedent it is ex- pected the board is going to be rather reticent about taking advantage the new law. Now, as a matter of fadt, this law was passed by the legislature at the instance of Canon Bell. He secured the Introduetion of the bill and worked for its passage. He says that two years hence he will do even more. He then ex pects to have the bill amended so as to make it compulsory upon the board to parole the “first timer’ into the custody of some good Christian citizen. He epects to have it included that the paroled man shall pay back to the state the cosj of by the new state Board of Edu-|his conviction and make good, so far as | possible, any wrong he has committed It will be provided he shall be given rea- 1t he violates to his guardian, he must returned to the court to be deait with severely. Canon Bell says that if be more Mr. | men who make thelr first mistake are thus handled and the spirit of Christian man hood awakened within them they may saved from doing further wrong. It is the merly democratic legislator (Ium/fllflha stigma of having been lu the peritentiary, be | | he says, that prompts many | lieve society is against them | might as well be against society.
