LICENSED FOR WHAT

Editor Register
A few words on one of the live issues
of the day may not be smiss to most o.
your readers, and if the advocates o.
licensed doggeries and crime have any
thing to say let them pitch in and We
shall have q spicy paper.
So lola has licensed dram shop again
Does this advance the good name of lola
Does it draw the best class of citizens to
lola? Does it build her up in anything
good? o, but, says some one, we will
lose customers! Some will not come
here to trade, if they can't get their
dram! So these men weigh few dimes,
little trade against the good name of
lola, against public morals. against the
ruin of our young men, soul and body,
against widows orphans and paupers
made 50 by rum, against the thousand
crimes caused by rum.
These men, hungry for the trade Of
few rum guzzlers, belong to an ancie Mt
race; one of them sold his birthright for
mess of pottage and they are willing to
sell the fair name and moral character
of lola for . little present gain. lola
gains . few dollars now for legalizing
this vile traffic, and loses thousand in
crime and pauperism in the near future.
Does it pays But another view Of this
subject. Those afraid of losing the trade
of few topers, forget the army of tenn
perance men! They think they will get
the patronage of temperance men ana
way. Now, Temperance men, to the
front! If your principles are skin deep,
show them! If there il . town where
drunk holes are not licensed 60 there to
trade and to live. II there Is temper
ance merchant true to his own honor
and the good Of his town and county,
patronize him make up to him ten fold
what he may lose from whisky. Keep
clear of the patrons of drunk holes. Let
them enjoy their mess Of pottage, but
cleave to your birthright Of freedom.
If We deal with men that cannot appre-
ciate any other argument but the dollar,
try that one. Let them know whose
patronage is worth most-thst of few
topers, or the mass of industrious tenn
perance men.
Temperance merchants show your col
ors and stand by them and see whether
it will pay or not. w. N. G.
