Shall We Return to the Con
ditIon OF a Few Years Ago,

I
Thencar approach Of the time
for voting upon the question Of
liquor in Louisa makes the matter
one Of absorbing interest, aud II Is
now being discussed on the streets
and in our homes.
II seems that there are anumber
OF sober, honorable citizens who IA.
yor license because Of its promised
benefits to the finances of the town.
To this Is added the argument that
the whiskey traffic has ilourished
here constantly without paying
tribute.
1t must be admitted that this Is
n fact, but is that the way TO reme-
dy the matter? Most assuredIy
not. The laws are sufficient to
stop the traffic If carried out TO the
letter. The officers need assistance
from the people, however, in order
to accomplish the most. a con
corted effort Ia this direction would
soon wipe ont the business entire
rs.
This question Of granting license
is one in which tho moral side
completely ovcrshadows the other.
The open saloon Is Il constant temp
tation TO a man cursed with an APP
petite for strong drink. IL is a
stumbling block In the path OF ov-
cry man who IS battling against
such an appetite, and a death
chamber to the helpless or the
willing slave. And worst Of all,
tie saloon Is the means of accom-
plishing the ruin OF the boys. The
drunkards OF the next few years
must come from the boys who are
now growing up. The sons Of
none, no matter what their stand
Ting may be, are exempt or safe
from the baneful influence of the
saloon. IL claims victims alike
from the rich aud the poor, the
high and the low. Before voting
TO sci this snare i'm the daily path
OF their boys, parents should con-
slider well whether or not they
might regret the act.
The keepers Of open saloons hid
Tor the lives Of boys by holding out
special attractions Of various kinds
TO draw them into their dens. They
understand that ovory timoa boy
goes into a saloon it il a stop to.

as are many other forms Of fascina-

easy victim to allurcments Of this
kind.
The blind tiger and "back rooms
of drug stores are certainly bad
things, but they are not so acecssi-
bic ms the open saloon, which is
always located in a prominent place
and tempts the passers-by TO take a
drink every time they pass the
place.
II IS characteristic of the saloon

an energy which is worthy Of an
honorable use. lleis licensed to do
so--commissioned by law TO CONF

can out OF the business, regardless
of damage to morals, family rell-
! lions, or anything else.
