trav elinK away from this egiy and when I 1 place my name upon a hotel register I 1 do so BO with the just and conscious pride that I 1 come from a city with a fair reputation it has ban been asked what necessity exists for calling such a meeting to that I 1 will say bay the necessity in ig great it is to sympathize with those officers who have done and are doing their duty the same thing has been done in commemoration ot of meritorious deeds deeda of the heroes of battles it takes brave men to act as mayor baskin and chief paul hav edone tend ind we want to honor them in the heroic course it to Is said that the liberal party will lose or votes vote s by certain members of that party g the position they have with reference to the saloon man individually I 1 care nothing for that I 1 think more of law and order applause gloo ordinances were long ago put on the statute books by men who owned the property of this city al ai d who had all their interests here to me it does not make the slightest difference what a mans political or other faith may be I 1 care not whether he is a liberal democrat or republican he has a perfect right to demand that the law should be enforced for that reason I 1 want to see representative men of all these parties express themselves here tonight it seems that some home kind of an agreement has been made by the liberal party with the saloon men mein they seem to have some kind of a string on us which they seem prompt to pull when it suits suite their purpose best it has baa brought and is bringing shame and disgrace upon jtb u I 1 denounce it as the of alliance and refuse to be a party to any disreputable scheme applause I 1 cherish cheikh the sunday of my forefathers with a reverence that la in all sacred it to is a day of rest and worship it is the poor mans day the rich man malu can rest when he pleases we work six days for the rest and quiet promised on the seventh on that da day y above all others the law should be enforced and criminals given to understand that they must obey the law oi 01 leave our midst or be taken care of at government expense it is abad a bad thing thine for so many of our men to squander their hard earned means in salo saloons no on sunday money that should go to the support of their families but the city licenses salofi men to do business six days in the week to this we hold bold our peace but when the seventh day is broken in upon we object violators of the sunday liquor law should be taken down to the hall of justice as the criminals they are and punished nuni shed according to the enormity of their offense not as they are now by the assessment ses ot of paltry 16 15 flues it the police fustice does not do his bis duty and he certainly does no not then remove him and fill his hia place dirce ty by a responsible man let it once be known that salt lake city to is the mecca of thieves trumps gamblers arf statutes slit utes and vagabonds those elements nill ill flock in into to our midst to carry on their lawless traffic I 1 say fay as one has said befort before eternal vigilance ib i the of liberty w we must awake to the seriousness of the situation in our city we have families to here As for me under the present system I 1 11 m alarmed I 1 feel that one of our main street gambling houses can calk and will if the opportunity in ia offered ff ered undo all that I 1 have done for ray my boys boya JIM in endeavoring to rear them in the paths of rectitude and right I 1 realize too that in one of these dens of evil on franklin and r avenues all the virtue and purity instilled ine tilled by the mother of mv day children into our daughters can be destroyed in a single i ight I 1 tell you such euch a spectacle to ia a horrifying one it ia cur duty to prepare to meet IL it criminals must be driven from the city the mayor and chief of police lies are doing their duty lut it will be easier for them it if they know good men approved of their actions we have votes as

applause DR DB B R 1 I moved that a committee of th three re e be appointed to embody in resolutions the sentiments of the meeting and the chair appointed dr iliff 0 W crow jawand walter lyon as such committee and they withdrew from the hall to prepare the resolutions BOB SHOUT a saloon keeper took the floor and after considerable effort succeeded in being recognized by the chair after which he introduced himself as one of the itinerant vendors of distilled dadna uon he said I 1 will bear with my brothers in the congruity con guity of crimes crime without any fear of the law of course we ironically are champions champion of crime ignorance and depravity we are the embodiment of all evil gnu ana the op apsite to all that is good vindicate your 1 mayor and chief of police we will not object to that it may do them some good and it won wont it hurt ue on I 1 am wilk ing to live by the law and within the th law all that I 1 ask as a first class rum seller peller is in that I 1 be given protection that is in all any of us ask who are willing to obey the be sunday law chief paul paid says that be will close sill all the saloons on sunday but let me tell you friends he do it mayor baskin says say he is in favor of all saloons suspending business on oa the same days day but him favoritism Is shown by allowing some saloonkeepers saloon keepers to carry on business on that day and compelling others to shut abut up sho hop I 1 proclaim pio claim to you this is not doi fat fair I 1 pay 1200 a year to sell boux bouw I 1 have done so for five years and when the of ficera

along second south strict west a few days ago I 1 saw a ful picture in the show window of it a saloon I 1 uever never wanted to be an artist so bad in my life as when I 1 be held that painting entitled the jury of the plains plaids 11 it showed a band of majestic buffalo gathered around the fallen remains of a hunter bunter with an arrow in his him heart beart oh how bow I 1 wished I 1 paint a companion picture equal to it and show the abr thousands of luman human wrecks nande made by saloon men of their fellow belange in bold letters I 1 would then ask aek the question on the who slew these same candek we do not ask ak the saloon man to close his hie shop all the una time but we want him to obey the law A man who broke the law was wa not long hi i asking protection from the law when an officer broke in his hie door if it ILA ic determined that the officer broke the will lave have to punish law we 0 of course him jn in the Y M C A rooms on sunday 1 have heard the clink of
