IT Is daily growing more evident
that the dispensary crowd having LOST
all hope Of support at the hands of the
majority of the voters are now relying
upon the courts for an extension OF
their graft, and 1t looks as If the last
days Of the dispensary are going to be
worse than the first. But so 1t has
always been with those who insist or
selling whisky.
