Opposed to High License.
To the Editor of the Globe:
As high license seems to be agitating our
citizens, would like to say few words.
There are many ''kickers'' ON the subject
such as ''Voter of Second Ward"
In every age of the world and in every
country men and women have used stimu-
lants of some kind, according to the climate
they lived in. The damp absorbing atmos-
phere OF England requires strong drinks and
meats. France requires light wines and
light meats. In America the various
climates suggest different stimulants. do
not believe there are any more teetotallers to-

his appetite. License should be granted ac-
cording to location, and the amount Of bust

who were not only responsible but honorable.
Lastly, but not least, compel every person

drunkenness and less crime would be the
result. Mr. Editor, with the
education before US and practical
workings of other nations, why not adopt a
policy that will protect our citizens?
'Voter" says that ''only one man out of
thirty sees the danger of nominating saloon
keeper" and considers it great blunder.

out of thirty is large majority. Our gov
