EDITOR TRANscR1PT:-Yes, a. you
suggest, let US have high license, $500 q
year, 5000 Or $500 would be better. Sa-
looms produce crime and beggary; let the
government collect money from them to
lessen expense Of taxpayers. Saloons
for the most part, fill our jails and lsck-
ups; let us have city council who will
make them pay in some slight degree for
the damage they are doing. $500 each
would be meager sum. But even this
would lessen the number, restrict the sale
Of whiskey, make less suffering in the
drunksrd's home. At present we cannot
enact a prohibitory law; even if we could
we have not moral strength to enforce it.
But 10 Austin 20 far gone. 80 low down,
a. to be unable to put any check on
drunkenness and it's attendant crimes? l
think not. High license is simply a pro
lection against crime. If we cannot get
all we want, let W take all we can get. A
half loaf is better than No loaf. Our an
nual city election is near. Make up your
mind that you will cast vote for no man
who will not commit himself in favor Of
temperance. NJ.
The way to build up city is to
build up each and every man in the city
not to strive to rend and tear down.
Whenever man in city is doing well
do not strive to pull him down. All tho
residents of a city are partners, not op
ponents. The education at the card
table il to strive to overcome opponents
BY getting their tricks, and success can
only come through the defeat of your
opponents. This il not SO in business
in . city. In all likelihood the more
business that is done BY your rival the
more you will do. Every decent man,
who treats his customers honestly,
courteously and fairly will get his share,
and the more business that can be created
by q united effort. the better will it be
for al. When = city ceases to grow it
commences to die, and the more people
endeavor to kill OF each other, in their
business and good name. the more rapid
" will utter rum come TO all. Stand
together for the advancement of every
citizens. If man shows the ability to
progress do not pull him back through
jealousy, or weight him down with cold
indifference. but remember the higher
every citizen can rise. the more he can
accomplish or acquire, the better it is
for the whole city and every individual
citizen.-Red Wing Republican.
