A Serious Question.

Tuesdays REVIEW Mr.. Losey of the
Illinois Central was in benson and
made settlement with those injured in
the DelOit wreck
1t is pitiful to consider to what poor
uses the majority of these men put the
money received. At least half of the
money must have been expended for
drink and for the past few days on
every corner one met poor battered
up piece oil humanity, leaning on a
crutch or with head bandaged, and as
drunk as a lord.
The REVIEW does not wish always to
be OH the lookout to find fault with
others. There are evils with which
we, like others, feel unable to cope.
The world was a pretty badly
mixed up institution when we we're
born into it, and while we hope it is
getting better, we must say we have
not witnessed any vast Improvement.
The coming of the railroads has done
much good to Crawford county from a
substantial point OF view, but we fear
that from moral standpoint there has
been decided deterioration. 1t is not
good and healthy thing for our young
| people to be almost daily witnesses to
cases of beastly intoxication and bloody
fist fights.
We are informed that there are some
drinking places in the city where a
drunken man cannot purchase more
liquor. We are not attempting to
place the responsibility and the shoe
need not be worn by anyone whom it
does notft. The fact that Sunday is not
exempt from drunkenness would seem
to prove that the saloons are not Who'll
ly responsible. The fact remains that
Denison is becoming a 'sWide open"
town and that our people have drawn
back from any interference saying that
the DRINKS we're 'tOnly railroad men,
and they were not their brothers.
keepers. The REVIEW has no personal
enmity to any saloon man in Denison.
This article is in the nature of friend
ly warning to all parties concerned. If
this state of drunkenness and fighting
is not stopped the good people of Deni
son may rise up and put in force much
more drastic measures than there is
any inclination to do at present. This
state Of affairs seems prevalent not on.
