ANTI.SAL0ON LEAGUE.
Some Economic Points Worthy of It's

The Anti-Saloon League OF Tennessee

an enthusiast. will deliberately exert him
self to bring about what ne knows is the
certain defeat of his efforts
Every right thinking man will sympa-
thize with the efforts Of the Anti-Saloon
League and wise men will admit that
through this agency a great deal OF good
can be done in certain localities where the
fight cannot, in the nature OF things, wax
fierce. There are many communities and
even counties where the schoolhouse and
the church, with here and there small
store, are the only objects or public inter
est. Private interest centers around the
quiet homes of Christian people who know
only theoretically OF the evils OF the liquor
traffic, and who Will require but little en-

Saturday, June IA, will be quite generally
celebrated as flag day" because on June

act declaring that the flag OF the thirteen
colonies shall be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white, with thirteen white stars on
a blue field. In several cities the mayors
have issued requests that all citizens hav-
ing hags should display them. AS the flag
cannot be too frequently displayed, flag day
should be observed by a general display of
the stars and stripes.

To most people in cities the asphalt ques-
ton is involved in mystery. Wherever one
company is doing business with city
competitor appears, declaring that it's as
phalt is as good as that of any other COM
pany. The other replies that 1t is not, and
proceeds TO demonstrate that it's pitch"
is the only genuine article taken from the
lake. while the other is simply the over
flow and is comparatively worthless, The
overflow company often brings certificates
from cities that the pitch it has TO sell is
well-nigh everlasting. And so we have it.
One OF the puzzling features of the conten-
ton is that one company is usually able TO
persuade those who make the contracts
that only one of the asphalts is fit to use in
streets. and consequently specifications are
made so as to exclude bids from companies
which cannot furnish the one kind of as
phalt. thus giving a monopoly TO the COM
pany which has persuaded the boards that
1t has the only asphalt in the world. 1t
seems that the other should at least have
a fair trial if those who desire TO lay it will
give cities a SUFFICIENT bond guaranteeing
that it shall stand a term of years. OF
course ii is not worth while to deal with
company which cannot give such bond.
1t would be a godsend for cities If some
material of which good streets could be
made were found In abundance, but until
this discovery shall be made Indianapolis,
no matter how the awards shall be made.
should pay the asphalt monopoly no more
than the lowest price made to other cities.
