HOW TO DO BUSINESS . . -- Don't do business in Ihc dark. That applies to buyer mid sailor.' Folks advertise because they are convinced Ihcy have some thing worth selling. The store that does not use printers' ink may hnve the goods, but the public doesn't know it. And it hasn't time to find out without the storekeeper meet ing it half way.

DRY BILL IS PASSED; I GOVERNOR WILL SIGN I Measure Goes Through Senate Unanimously, M Is Rushed to House and Under Special Or- ; der of Business Is Adopted With Only One Opposing Vote Governor Bamberger Is H Pleased and Will Put Official Stamp On It. H . SALT LAKE CITY, Fob. 2. Utah will join the white ribbon Htntca AuRUflt 1, 1017. The Yotini; prohibition bill in its nmended jH form, believed by Utnh Jeglalatora to be the most drastic nnd the IH moat efficient proliibition measure yet enacted in the United States, passed both houses of the'lcKislature yesterday afternoon .H with but one disscntinp; vote. ! Gov. Simon IiambcrKcr expressed himself last night as highly ' pleased with tho measure in its present form and signified his in- , tcntion of signing it as soon iih jWHsible after it reached his office. The bill, before being signed by the governor, will be carefully .ex- ! amlncd by tho attorney general and other expert legal talent to f ascertain whether it in "hole proof." H "In all probability I shall sign the prohibition bill in the form in jH which it passed both houses," the governor asserted. "I am not ! entirely familiar with the recent amendments to the measure. An l soon as possible I aim to read the amended bill very carefully. H Governor Ih Pleased With the Hill. jH "Of courao tho matter will be gone over carefully by tho nttor- H ncy general nnd othc competent attorneys before I sign it, I be- H ltevc the prohibition bill ns il finally passed is a splendid measure H one of the best in tho United States. Should tho attorneys dls- H cover any serious defects in tho mensurc I shall ask the legislature H to correct them before I sign it. H "Thu bill makes the governor and the. peace, officers of the state H itsnonalblfrfor its enforcement. With thu co-operation of all good citizens I believe the officers will rigidly enforce tho measure and thnt the state will be absolutely dry as soon iih tho law goes into B Tho bill wan taken up as a special order of business by thu sen- H ato at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. With one exception the H amendments decided upon the afternoon beforu remained un- H chnnged. The amendment to tho search and seizure clause was H amended so thnt the officer filing affidavit to procure a search H warrant will not be compelled to disclose the source of his infor- H niation. M Only a Few Minor Changes Were Made. H The entire forenoon session was taken up by the reading of the H bill for final passage and the insertion of amendments of a minor H importance. The modification of the search and sclzurti amend- jjM ment was strongly opposed at first, but on thu deciding ballot the H rhango was favored by a voto of fifteen to three. H At the nfternoon session the discussion of the bill was con- H Untied ns unfinished business and moro amendments ndded. The H rost hotly contested amendment of thu afternoon session was the H one to strike out in tho definition of liquors thu words "whether H intoxicating or'not." s H The amendment was first proposed by Senator Parker, who H was supported by Senator Bcvim, on the ground thnt the phrase jH was superfluous and if literally interpreted would prohibit the sale of malted milk at soda fountains. Ho argued the stipulation that limited thu non-intoxicating drinks to those containing not in excess of one-half of 1 per cent of nlcohol was sufficient to protuH JM t 'ic statu against Intoxicating liquors. , H Tlieru seemed a sentiment for a time thnt the amendment wns H proposed on behalf of the breweries, who wished to manufacture H "near beer," and the amendment wns voted down. Upon a further H examination of the phrase, however, Senator Colton, who had H otcd against tho motion, brought tho matter up for reconsidevn- H tion, and asserted that hu believed Senator Parker had been ror- JM lect, and that tho inclusion of the phrase only served to weak"" j tho bill. The motion wns carried and tho words were eliminated. When tho vote on the final passagu of thu bill was taken all eighteen senators voted in favor of tho proposed measure. Sen- H ator Chez, who had championed thu prohibition commissioner, i.". H plained that he still believed a commissioner essential to tho full H indorsement of tho law, but that otherwise tho law was almost K'cal. Senator Evans also prefaced his vole by an explanation. Hr declared that he did not believe the law was all thnt it should be, H but nevertheless favored the passage of the bill. In drafting Vi-i measure ho declared that he believed the members of tiiu lower H house had been more anxious to have tho bill as No. 1 than, to hit1, e a No. 1 bill. The hill was passed by the senate shortly nfter 3 o'clof, nnd H transmitted to the lower house about an hour later, Tho bill ns H taken up by thu house for consideration immediately after its ar- M lival. Considerable opposition to some of the sepate amendments M van anticipated, and great surprise was expressed when Kepn'sen- M tatlve Richard W. Young, Jr., sponsor for the bill nnd ardent H champion of tho proposed commissioner, presented a motion tc nc- cept the amendments ns offered by the senate.
