In speaking of the corporation I
shall refer to the Liberty reporter,
as it seems he was driving at me.
1 don't deny that those engaged in
the illegal sale of whisky are,guilty
of selling it to minors-that is the
very thing we don't like. With the
town Incorporated we would then
know,Who to handle bythelaw. Is
it not best to have g. corporation
and stop horse-swapping and keep
order in town on public days? A
lady then could go through town
without danger Of being run over
! by reckless riders and drivers and
insulted by drunken men. A man
that drinks will have it, corporation
or no corporation. He considers
whisky a great evil. Whisky will
not hurt you if you don't run after
it. [ have stability enough not to
run after it only when I want a
dram. What if he should be bitten
by a snake? He would have his
neighbor run. his horse ten miles
i to get whisky! IF we had a corpor-
alton he could get it nearer home.
A corporation, does not mean the
sale of whisky alone. 1t means
progress, public improvements, law
and order, a good school, and many
other public advantages. We can
overlook his objections to some ex-
tent, for a man not acquainted with
the advantages Of g corporation can
not appreciate it.

Mr.. Buren, as alderman is working
hard for the Wilson avenue proposition,
although the Rely site would be a
windiall for him.
The Rely location theory is confirmed
by strenuous grapevine telegram to
the Mcbride push organ at Salem,
printed double column wide in a frame
