What Are the Facts4

Before the Prohibitory amendment
was repealed, we we're told by liquor
men and their sympathizers that more
liquor was used under prohibition than
under q license law. The amendment
was repealed and We have a license law?
The Sioux Falls brewery boasts that
its sales during September of this year
were AZ per cent greater than IN the
same month Of 1896, and greater, in fact,
than during any September under pro-
hlbition.
We were also told that under license
drug stores would cot be allowed to sell
illegally. What are the facts? Com
plant has been made in several towns
that drng stores are now selling more
than ever.
We were told that here in Madison
there would be less drunkenness with
licensed saloons in our city than was
the case under prohibition. What are
the facts?
Let our police court record and our
recent Sabbath dissertation by drunken
men answer that question?
We were told that under license a
large revenu would be received from
the liquor traffic. What are the facts?
Counting the cost of the courts, the
board of those arrested for drunkenness,
the loss of time spent in Jail, We are told
on good authority that the expenses
thus far exceed the receipts, to say
nothing of the disgrace and the sorrow
that has come to many a home.
Has it paid?

That Cattle Combine.

Mr.. Cuttershine " Johnson,
whom we mentioned last week as
the head of The cattle combine,
called on US, Wednesday. He had
blood in his eye, and, had not a big,
fierce looking man with a butcher
knife happened in at that moment,
there's no telling what would have
happened.
However, Mr.. johnson said he
wanted it distinctly understood
that he had nothing whatever to do
with the combine. He said he was
approached by two other men on
the subject, and he refused to 60 in
to the combine. When asked to
name the two men who were plot
ting against the people, he said
they were John Walker, the dairy
man, and j. w. Hunter, VINO runs
cattle ranch north of the cemetery.
Mr.. johnson further says that he
don't eat 'possum meat, although
he does go 'possum-hunting once in
a while. He says he skins Mr..
,possum for the hide, and throws
the meat away. But he likes sweet
Eaters and chicken gravy pretty
we'll, thank you.
We gladly set Mr.. johnson right
before the public, and hope our ex
pose of the cattle cambine may nip
it in the bud.
