I notice in the papers that J. S.
Keese, W. A. Hammond and P. B.
Hodgson have applied for *taear beer
license for the four months of 1916.
I wish to put them on notice ‘‘not
speaking in behalf of the one hun
dred,” hut in behalf of the law, that
they will have to face both by crim
inal and civil procedure. They will
be enjoined both as to locatidh and
as a menace to public health and
morals. And also enjoined from vio
lating the prohibition law, as passed
In 1907. If under a soft drink license
you sell beer, instead of a substitute
soft drink for beer, warrants will be
sworn out against you continuously,
as long as yon violate the law; not
one inch of compromise will ever
again be made.
