"This question in the Dunn casC
was before your conscience and nc
other, and at the same time it was
a test ease for the rejection or per-

But you did not possess the cour-
age TO defend the interests of your
ASSOCIATION and the affiliated saloon
busines.
Nor did you possess the courage
to withdraw from a jury for which, as
son have proven, you were not com
petent.
After all this the Cincinnati
Saloon-Keepers Society has come to
the conclusion that It owes you
special thanks for the continued
existence of the disgraceful twelve

the law in question, hut We never

we will instruct all societies, corpor-

You may, therefore, al the more
easily follow your well-known
passion of disturbing your fellew-

If more powerful argument
was ever advanced in favor of a
party that darcs to take this traffic
by the throat, We never heard
Of it. Is it any wonder that the

that there is one decent man in that

two fine children, a boy and a girl.
But some women had got his wife
into the way Of drinking beer, and
no their once happy home was a he'll

about the streets ragged ard dirty.
Often when he came to his evening
meal he would find his wife stretch

book and tearfully promised she
would do better. But her cronies
would come again and she would
weakly give in to them, and
once more relapse into her old ways.
