Poor cresco.

What contrast there is between
prohibition Cresco and saloon cursed
DEBORAH may be noted in the follow
ing item from last weeks Times:
Easter was celebrated in Cresco by
more drunkenness than has been
visible on the streets in many day,
which evidences the fact that there
are 'blind pigs" that our city officials
ought to pen. The drug stores need
not be accredited with selling all the
liquor that is drank in Cresco, for one
agent for a ST. Paul liquor house took
orders for 5000 worth of liquor in three
hours in Cresco last month and did
not visit the drug stores either. Some
of this was ordered by individuals
who do not sell it, but more of it was
undoubtedly retailed by "piggies. y
There is no excuse for their existence,
half Il dozen citizens could discover
their holes and drive them out, if they
set about it, if aided by proper officials.
Why not?
No apparent drunkenness was seen
in DEBORAH Easter Sunday. We
understand the Cresco druggists are
endeavoring to contine ttieir sales to
legitimate purposes. -Decordh RepubH-
can.
If what the Times stated is true, it
is a confession of the weakness of pro-
hibition as remedy for the evils COM
planned of. What the country needs
is a remedy instead of make shift.
There is no doubt in the minds of well
informed men but more liquor is.con-
sumed in Cresco than in any town OF
its size where from 50, 900 to S., 900 is
paid for the privilege of selling. And
the young who could not obtain it in
any licensed saloon are the ones large
ly who get and use it. Too many of
the youth meet bottles in the barns
and the alleys and by-ways of the city,
who under no circumstances would be
caught in saloon. But prohibition
is educating them in the vice OF
drunkenness.

flowed, doing much property damage.
The people are alarmed for the safe
ty of the waterworlis, which are Sc
riously threatened. A nine-foot rise is
sweeping down from the headwaters of
the Trinity. This will cause big over

says the list of dead there will reach
from ten to Is persons.
The property damage in the city
will exceed $150,o0o. The telegraph

lutely suspended south of Dallas on al
most every line in the state. The loss
by flood and hurricane since Friday
morning is estimated to reach $1,000
900 to $5,OOO,OoO, including damage to
railroads and crops. The damage to
railroads is immense in Hill, McLen-
nan, Williamson, Bell, Colorado, Bas-
trop and adjoining counties.
The telegraph companies have large
forces of linemen out trying to make
repairs. The few reports received from
southern and central Texas state that
the men have never before seen such
destruction.
