The Green Forest tribune., 1898-01-06

w h. tONEED N OO,
 THE TRIBUNE is opposed to the salo of whiskey in any form, but we believe the legal sale of it much preferable to the illegal sale ot it.. There is just as much whiskey sold in Green Forest as there was when we had an open saloon, at least the evidence of drunkenness clearly bears out that statement. Tbe illegal sale of whiskey not only makes drunkards, but it makes per juers of those who buy it, for they obligate tn ourselves to swear falsely ip tbs matter should they ever be called into the courts. The five mile special act for Green Forest has now been in force for two years and there has mover been the slight- est attempt to prosecute Q single violation of that law since its pas sage. A prohibition that does not prohibit is only mockery and shield for the bootlegers and operators of blind tigers.
 We have learned through the postotlice department that the Eureka Springs and Harrison mail line has been let to a Sedalia, Mo-, man for the coming four years, beginning next July, for the sun of $ 1875 per year. To equip the line and give the service intended by the government, it is fully worth $2,500 or S3,000 per year, and for to be bid off for the paltry sum of SI,375 per year would in- dicate that our mail service will retrogate rather than be improved The line from here to Osage, to go into operation July 1, has been bid off by Virginia man tor only s209. The schedule over this line calls for SIX round trips each week The line from here to Coin is to be operated by a Kentucky contract or for the sum ot $39 per year.
