Burlington won the convention In 1907
agninst Bloux City. An Informal . ballot
gave Burlington thirty votes to thirteen for
Bloux City, and the delegation from the lat
ter City withdrew In favor of Burlington.
Bloux City had Intended to send a big dele
gation to Council Bluffs to secure next
year's convention, but. as Jt happened : a
circus struck that-town Tuesday and many
who had Intended coming here had to stay
at home and look after business.
.' Resalatloas Adopted.
.These resolutions were adopted by ths
convention: ' .
That we believe the liquor business to
be. Just -as honorable aa any other busi
ness, provided that It Is properly conduuted.
That It Is. the sense of this association
to conform to all the laws, and that we do
absolutely. condemn the practice. -of .some
engaged In the trsde. In the Illegal man
ner In which they conduct the same.
That by a recent . decision of our su
preme court we are burdened with addi
tional restrictions, whereby ws must re
frain from entering our own places of
buslnesa between the hours of 10 p. m. and
i a- m., which' we believe fo be a lisurpa-
tlon of I) arson a I liberty
That we hereby appeal to the legislature
ror reller ana a modification or the exist
tng law! .appertaining to the liquor traffic
In Order that men legally engaged In the
sale of liquor may have the aaine' con
sideration snd protection as the men en
ased In other lines of business. ' '
We believe that It Is the sole- aim "and
object of the law to promote the ends of
Justice, and therefore all law should be
founded upon sternal Justice framed In
the spirit of brotherly love, but that' no
law should be based upon prejudice, per-,
sonal hatred ot Ignorance of conditions,
because all such laws are enemies to ao
ctety.and dangecous In, ths extreme. to tha
general welfare' of the common people.
The convention decided that concerted
action with the Iowa Brewers' association
would tend to the advantage, of both or
ganisations and the executive committee
was directed to mall circular letters to all
saloon keepers in the stats asking them
to use their Influence with the brewers In
bringing abont. harmony between the two
organisations.

structed to notify the. board of county

Attention of ths meeting wss called to
the complaint that the Commercial club
directed Its efforts solely In the Interests
of ths wholesalers and neglected tha re
tail interests of the city. Members of
the executive committee present denied that

overlook the Interests of the retail tnde
and the secretary was Instructed to call
upon the retailers and ascertain what ths
club could do to promote their Interests.
Ths meeting was poorly attended, few
of ths members outside of ths officers and

me small attendance ths regular monthly

Complain of Molasses aad Mad.
W. I. Walker of the Walker Manufactur
ing company, whose plant Is located at
Tenth avenue and Twelfth street, haa a
grievance against the Alfalfa Meal com
pany, whoae factory l In the immedlata
vicinity, and city officials who have Inves
tigated the matter say the grievance Is well
founded. Molasses mixed with gum bp
forms the basis of the grievance, and W.
M. Shook, manager of the Alfalfa Meal
company, haa been cited to. appear In po
lice coi'rt this morning to explain why he
should not be required to abate the nuis
ance complained of by Mr, Walker.
In the Information filed by Mr. Wslktr
yesterday Manager Shook of the alfalfa
company Is charged wKh wilfully and ma
llclously maintaining a nuisance at Twelfth
street and Tenth avenue by permitting offal
and refuse, noxious smells and odors to
destroy the health, peace and comfort of
said neighborhood.
The Alfalfa Meal company uses a vast
quantity of molasses In the manufacture
of Its product. The tank cars in which tne
saccharins mstter is shipped sre not always
leakage proof, and much of the glutinous
stuff found Its way out on the tracks and
adjoining . thoroughfare. The molasses
brings flies snd other Insects. Complaint
was made to the city council and as a re
sult a number of loads of molasses Inter
mixed with ths soil were gathered up and
carted to the grounds of the Alfalfa Meal
company adjoining the Walker plant. "
Mr. Walker now complains that thla stuff
grown -rotten throws off noxious oJors
besides attracting flies and other Insects
which maks Ufa miserable for the employes
at the Walker factory. Unless the nuis
ance Is abated Mr. Walker asserts he will
be compelled to down his plant.

the petition should be granted, and It Is
understood this will be recommended to
the city council.
The councllmen slso visited the piece on
Twelfth avenue, between Third snd Fourth

snd that Mr. Bloomer sign an agreement
to folly protect the city from any possible
