We notice that ex.Gov. Page of Hyde
Park and Hon. c. H. Stearns of John
son, have put themselves on record as
May success attend
their noble endeavors. The question
now arises, what are we poor RepubG-
cans going to do without them? Echo
says, Nothing; give us free rum or
not any, take your choice. Let there be
in all commodities, which
will fix not only prices but qualities.
Then, and not until then, will the peo-
pie become a law abiding, God-fearing,
people, as in days of
yore. We claim, without fear or con-
tradictlon, that no one has any right to
dictate to his neighbor what he or she
shall eat, drink or wear, so long as they
behave themselves and pay their bills.
When they fail to do SO, let them pay
the penalty. The present law has been
a law of tyranny, compelling honest men
to lie, for the sake of drunk. The pros
pective law, as set forth, would make
the present law blush" We shall haye
to agree with Gov. Page and Senator
gilt-edged high license
saloons for us
We trust our Riverside brother will
forgive us our past trespasses and watch
rs lest we do so again. Yes, we plead
guilty" We can't bear to see good
things 90 to waste. We are trying to
overcome our thievish propensities as
fast as we can. Now dear friend, If you
have any little item down there on the
banks Of the beautiful Gihon that you
lon't want, or don't know how to use
-or the public good, send me word.
Yours truly, till we meet again. s.
