How does incompetence affect the farmer
and the village merchant, and what should
be- done with license money from saloons.
was the question under discussion mt the last
meeting of the club. A. u. Barnes said the
farmer and merchant were affected by the
crime aud pauperism caused by strong drink,
in the way of taxes etc. II. M. Rowe would
not have saloon windows shaded, but would
have more windows and more light which
would tend to keey boys and timid ones
away. Geo. Conklin thought the law a bid
for villages to grant licences; he thought the
license money should go into the county
treasury to support the paupers and criminal
courts caused by drink. Mrs. Rowe thought
the fines imposed for intoxication should be
given to the drunkard's family, and that they
should not be made TO suffer on account of
the drunkenness of the husband and father.
