Attention. Women!

IhIS IS not patient medicine ad. as
| its title would suggest, but reminder
to the women of Bollinger county OF
their duty in the coming election for To-
cal option.
We have not the privilege of voting,
nor do we covet that right, but there is
strong power behind the voters. 1t is
ourselves. God pity that woman who
has no influence in her family or does
not use it rightly. Let no one think to
belittle the influence of the good wives,
| mothers and daughters of our land.
A great man once said in substance /:
"Show me the women Of your land and
| can tell you whether your laws be good
or bad.' If this be true saying, may
the result of the coming election be a
vindication of the women of Bollinger
county.
Is there mother who can view with
Indifference the traffic of a commodity
which is continual menace to the hon.
or and welfare of her sons? Is there a
wife thoughtless of the temptations set
before her husband at all times, and es-
pecially at election times when the can
didate who will produce the biggest bar
rel of whisky is the one most sure of
election. 1t is no exaggeration to assert
that this dangerous element is fast be-
coming ruinous influence in our COM
monweaith through its use for political
purposes.
The wellworn argument for legalizing
the sale of liquor for the revenue there
from, has lost It's hold on an Intelligent
people. Compare the revenue from this
miserable source to the crimes, ruined
homes, lost souls, criminal costs in our
courts etc, accrueing from its use, and
judge which weighs heaviest in the bal
ance.
The coming election for local option
is to be the crucial test in this most i'm
portant of all issues now pending, and.
dear women all over this county. let us
be doing in the meantime all in our pow-
er to gain the victory.
Let US exert our influence in a strong
though quiet way. We should not let
our overzeal nor opportunities defeat
our purpose. We must wake up; the
time is near at hand when the issue will
be decided. Now is our golden opportu-
nifty. If this chauce escapes us, it will
do no good to repine after it is too late. |
You may be sure the opposition is not |
mapping. Shall we let the enemy be |
more vigilant for bad cause than are |
we for good one? Let every woman |
herself into committee of one |
to get every 'sdry'' vote from her own |
family possible. If the voters of your |
family are out of the county at school, at |
work, or for whatever reason, DO NOT
FAIL to prevail upon them to come home
and vote for local option on the 18th in
slant. 1t may be little expense and in
but will you stop to consid-
er that when so much is at stake? Do
you not realize that if we carry the.
county for local option, it will mean a
long step toward happiness, security and /
prosperity in future?
Let US not forget that for want of a |
horseshoe nail a great battle was once |
lost, SO, for want of one more t'dry" vote,
we may lose in the coming election.
Let no reader of this article. imagine

this hellish drink has under its control.
1t is taken from the sufferers. Who are
these sufferers? Those who drink? No,
not alone, but those who are dependent
upon them, the wives and babies.
When the saloon measures out rum
it also deals out death and crime. Sta
tistics show that the revenue derived
pays but a small part of the criminal
costs for which the traffic is responsible,
to say nothing about the partaker's loss.
take the position that money derived
from the saloon is wrong, absolutely
wrong. Having these facts before us,
let us say by our ballot that we want to
eradicate this traffic that is so injurious
to man. a LOCAL OPTIoNIsT.

Local Option.


Owing to the fact that we are to have
| a local option election in Bollinger
county, | being an advocate of temper
ance, led me TO believe that it is nv
duty to put forth some reasons why we
should have local option.
My first reason is that it is right.
The crimes CT the county will be great
ly decreased. If you were to examine
the criminal records, you will find that
about 80 per cent of them have been
caused directly or indirectly by this king
that is reigning in our midst, alcohol.
Let us view the condition of the 1ntem-
perate. They lose their acute mental
power, physical strength, moral charac-
ter, the respect OF his fellowmen, and a
great many times he loses his life or
takes the life of fellowman. Then think
OF his awful condition. Better if he
were dead!
Fathers, when you go to the polls to
vote on this vital question, think of what
you are doing for your posterity.
Who is the father that wants his son
TO become drunkard?
II you vote "wet" you are voting for a
demon that will make drunkards of men.
You are leaving tempter in their midst
will lead them to ruin if tampered with.
Before voting think of the homes that
have been made destitute by this demor-
alizing drink. You are leaving DESTROY
er in their midst that will blunt that
mind which alone makes man superior
to all animals. Before casting your bal
lot, think of the once happy, prosperous,
moral, honest and upright men whom
this demon has sent to the penitentiary,
lunatic asylum, poor farm or a drunk
ards grave.
If you were to go to the state prison
and ask the inmates what brought them
that awful condition. About 80 per cent
would say "rum." If you vote "dry''
you are eradicating inebriety, crimes,
pauperism and iniquity. You are voting
for something that will give us higher
morals, that will decrease the expenses
OF the county. If you want this, vote
"dry;" if however you want this demon
to stay in our midst, vote wet
am assailed by this question a great
many times: "Will local option do what
you claim?" l say it will do all we claim
if the laws are enforced.
find some who are trying to make
political fight out of this question.
Now, let's not have politics in this elect
ion. 1t matters not what your politics
may be, but for the sake of morality.
economy, and above all be true to your
Creator, vote "dry." l hear some pro-
tessed Christians saying they will not
support local option. say it is the duty
OF all Christians and all men who want
to see Bollinger county progress to vote
"dry." I don't think there is a man in
said county who wants to see it go down
hill, so to speak. 1t is my humble opin-
ion that when you vote "wet'' you saw
ego down hill" You are voting for a |
demon that will take bread and clothing
from some poor mother and helpless lit |
tie children and giving it to the liquor
dealer. The only way we have of know
ing seed is by the harvest. l think we
have reaped enough from the saloon traf-
fic to know it is detrimental to all that
is good.
Where is the good of saloon? Some
narrow minded saloon men say we need
the revenue. Where does this money
come from? From some man whom
