The prohibition meetings held in
Agency hall last Wednesday and
Thursday evenings were an UNI
qualified success. Rev. Sanderson
opened the speech making OF the
first evening by u few well directed
and lfelicitous remarks referring TO
himself as o .'little indian" bat be-
fore he finished the telling and well
directed blows aimed at the liquor
traffic and those who supported 1T
everybody was convinced that he
was the "Big Indian Me- of the squad.
He was followed by Mr.. e. M STAN
ton who is lecturiag in the state i'm
der the auspices Of the Grand Lodge
I. o. G. T. His speech was one OF
the most eloquent that 1t has been
our good fortune to listen to for long
time and was the event OF the evening.
The Fisk quartette furnished their
music in get there style to All ab-
preciative audience. The Prohibi-
ton CLUB are well pleased with The
result Of their first venture OF the

The decision Of the Supreme Cour
of Michigan, that the local option LAY
passed by the last legislature is ur
= constitutional, because its name doe
not correspond with the character. {
the law, emphasizes again the infel
nal duplic,ty or stupidity Of old part
l leaders on this drink problem. Their
is no questioning the decision of til
Court. The decision was unanimou.
Oyer thirty counties, after months {
toll and sacrifice and thousands {
y dollars spent, have under this locs
: option law voted out the saloon. An
now that the law is declared uncor
! stitutional, the work done under it
y wasted, and the saloons will still n
tain their places. How many MOI
" such political tricks as this will teae
u us to "distrust the Greeks even bea
: ing gifts"? Is there o temperate
Y worker left inMichigsn who! is nj
