Tamnerance is a splendid doctrine,
worthy to be preached from every pull
nit. Yet prohibition, however beautl
ful in theory, has proven futile ana nm
satisfactory in practice. Saloons may
he an evil. as the prohibitionists con-
tend. But so are blind pigs, Illicit drug
stores and bootleg whiskey an evil.
,Tis hatter TO "eudure the ills we have
than Ay TO those We know not of.'
Weston has been reasonably moral
temperate, progresslv', prosperous and
contented under high license. Satan is
always busy amongst us, TO be sure,
but will prohibition eliminate him
Let's not try the doubtful experiment.
It may be the kind of remedy that only
cures the disease by killing the pat ent
Weston is not so strong, anyway. that
it can stand very severe dose. Let's
continue in the even tenor OF our way,
thankful that we are no worse than
some of the towns in prohibition Kan
sas-meanwhile giving the saloon men
to understand that they must obey the
laws or forfeit the license that nobody
has ever begged or coerced them tC
nrrcbase. Let new licenses be issue'
only with such safeguards :hat tht
holders thereof must perforce respec
ther OBJ cation to the community.
