dates loyal and effectivo support. If
this is done there will bo no doubt oT a

A Joke in the Amendment.
Spcelnl to the Herald.
Oklahoma City Oct. 0. A now bomb
was exploded in tho camp of the Local
Option and High Licenso adherrnts
when Supt. George Conger of tho
Anti-Saloon League dragged n live
squirming and unwilling "joker" from
tho proposed constitutional amor.d-
ment to-day. Tho little mattor which
tho Local OptLn peoplo will have to
explain to the voters of tho State of
Oklahoma is contained in Subdivision
1 of tho bill which thoy aro asking tho
pciiplo to adopt as an Amendment to
tho Constitution in order thut tho
Stato may return to the days of licens-
ed saloons and homo-wrecking drunk-
enness. Tho Subdivision says:
"Subdivision 1 Each incorpo-
rated city town or vllla'go in this
State is hereby authorized to
licenso tho salo of intoxicating
liquors within tho corporate limits
of such city town or village sub
ject to the provisions of this sec-
tion provided that tho salo of in-
toxicating liquors shall not bo per-
mitted in any city town or village
until authorized at an election to
bo held for that purpose. "
W. D. Cardwoll President of tho
Sons of Washington and father of tint
proposed amendment has not as yet
been ablo to explain how this will pre-
vent any gathering of citizens of suffi-
cient numbers to incorporate a village
from having a licensed saloon. Origi-
nally Mr. Cnrdwell hid under tho fol-
lowing portion of Subdivision 13 of the
act which says :
Mr. Young moved to Boavcr coun.
ty from IIHnob in the full oi 1003
and has roMdcd on his rHno in
Bblko township continuously.
He c nductcd Pronto storo and
postoffico for neatly five years and
by courteous treatment and honest
business methods he builtupabusi
ncss that places' Pronto at tho head
of tho list of country stores in Bci-
ver county.
Desiring to devoto his timo exclu-
sively to farming and stock raising
ho closed nut his storo in tho fall of
1903 muMi to tho regret of his cus-
tomers. Mr Young in announcing for this
"No more than one saloon license
for one thousand (1000) inhabit-
ants or a major fractional part
thereof ehall be issued in any city
town or village according to the
lastpreceding State or Fetloral .
Census;"
This would seem to indicate that sa-
loons would bo confined to on'o for ev-
ery 501 persons. But seo tho effect of
the ctfto llttlo "Joker." Under the
joker It would bo possible for tho legal
number of persons to incorporate n
village license a saloon and establish
all of tho evils of a w.ot district. An-
other sot of porsons right alongsido of
thorn could do the same thing. The
result would bo that in a community
whore tho sentiment of the majority of
the people might be against saloons
these few persons merely by tho in-
corporation of a village could cover
j the district with liquor denB.
This in but an example of what the
proposed amendment contains accord-
ing to Superintendent Conger. The
Anti-Saloon Lcaguo head is going over
the bill with a microscope and says he
is finding it as full of little "jokers"
us a Swiss chcoso sandwich is full of
holes. In fact ho declares that the
bill is nothing more or less than a de-
vice to hand tho State over to tho mer-
cies of the liquor clement under con-
ditions far worst; than those of tho old
territorial laws.
Mr. Conger's statements have caused
wide-spread excitement. The High
Liconso strongholds aro especially ve-
hement in their efforts to explain away
a few of tho tilings that tho leader oi
tho "drys" has discovered in their bill
In discussing tho matter with tho Hkji-
am correspondent to-day Mr. Conger
said ;
"Why thut amondment is chock full
of devious twists and turns to give this
state a law that would ruin homes kill
business Btarvo women and children
and encourago tho entrance into our
daily lifo of tho worst possible charac-
ters. Horo is just ono example of
what it would do to tho taxpayers the
voterj who will lhavo to taku their
stund on this question nt the election:
"A portion of Subdivision 0 provides
that there shall bo a board of four
mombors to pass on licenses in each
city town and village. Tho compen-
sation of theso four shall not exceed
$300 per annum. In other words thoy
would gut $1200 n year Tho saloon-
keeper pays to the city for his license
no more than $1(03 nnd in some cases
but $500 In towns whoro there would
bo but ono saloon tho taxpayer would
' bo contributing more for tho support
f of tho board that gavo tho liconse than
tho saloon man would bo paying for
tho privilege of doing business In
other words tho taxpayer would bo
holding the bag just $200 worth every
year. NIco system isn't It?"
This undoubtedly According to some
of tho most export students of it
would bo tho elToot of tho bill. In
I small communities where there would
