If the members of that En-
torcement League do not like the
saloons here, let them pack up
and leave Yes, and if they
don't leave we can get up a pc
tition to the city council asking
that body to tell them to get out"
Why, yes, the saloons we're here
when they came here. It's none
of their business and guess we
can get along without lot of old
cranks."
The above remarks, and sever
al similar ones in the same strain,
fell upon our ears more than
once as we strolled the streets
in search of news, aud it set US
to thinking and figuring and fin
ally we called upon a member of
the League, d business man, who
has been here quite a while, and
said: About how much Of the
wealth of the town does the En-
forccment League represent?
About two-ffths, does it not?
After counting up ia an under
tone, he answered, More than
that. You can safely count it
three-ffths of the wealth of the
city,"
Suppose this threc-ffths of the
monied population of this city
we're to pack up and get out
then what? How many dry
goods, grocery stores, shoe
stores, banks, newspapers, dem
lists, doctors, furniture stores,
department stores, wholesale
houses, laundries aud other
paying industries would you
have left? How manygood men,
intelligent women, brightest and
best children would you have re-
naming? Your schools would
dwindle down to one poor little
forlorn, backwoods establish
ment, not only for lack of pupils,
but teachers also, for that exodus
would give the city such a black
eye that other good people could
not be hired, for love or money,
to take our places.
You would not stay here your
self. We are personally acquain-
ted with the parties uttering
those sentences and we are con-
fident that these same men would
flee from a town forsaken by
churches, schools and all the bet
ter element. And suppose we
took you at your word and pack
ed up and left the empty build
Iings, deserted streets as the only
reminder of us, how long before
you would follow us? Every sa-
loon keeper would Vedge his way
into our new abode by some
means and set up his traffic in
souls, for he is shrewd enough to
knyw that the crowd we left be-
hind, which were mostly the re-
suit of his own handiwork, were
worthless financially. That is
the meanest part of the whole
drunk-factory business. No
matter where clean, moral, sober
people pitch their tents, far away
from them and their factories,
they always follow. We are will
ling they should sell and drink
(although sorry for them if they
will remain on their territory.
They invariably force them
selves in by wiles best known to
themselves.
The saloon was NOT here
when we came, nor had it been
in Irwin county for II years, and
because of that this colony was
planted here. That fact was
heralded abroad all over the Uni
ted States, and because of the
absence of saloons the majority
of us came, and the saloon e1e-
ment crept in. If we were to
