WHICH? YES OR MOP
TCommunicated.l !


Yes, my friends, we admit that you
have the right to vote yes or vote no
at the coming election, and no one has
the right to call your vote IN ques-
tions YOU can vote for principal, or
vote for spit, and it is simply Il ques
tion of exercising your right. But
honestly, between us, should not the
best interests Of the city be considered,
should not your own best interests be
considered. your own Accommodations for
the coming year, instead of the mo-
mentary impulse to rip things up, just
to crafty the dissatisfied whim Of the
moment, and regret your folly for a
year to come.
Yes. we know that you believe in
license. vest We know there was only
about d hundred in this city who placed
themselves on record as prohibitionists
last September, we expect them to vote
no at the coming election; we respect
their opinions, although We cannot agree
with them. but above all we admire
their consistency they practice what
they preach. Now be candid, be honest
with yourselves; why should you be
| less manly in maintaining your princi'
| pies than our prohibition frlends why
should you stultify yourselves in yom
avowed principles, by voting for what
you do not believe in. There is nothing
to be gained, and great deal Of con
seious self-respect to be lost thereby
You can stand up before the world
and proclaim your consistency, or th'
reverse. We admit that our commits
sioners have made mistakes and som'
blunders; but time viii remedy thes'

| commissioners were new, but the Law
and the conditions, even the worsi
phases Of it, are superior to the beastly
brothels of prohibition.
Now, my friends, honestly, do yo'
think the financial, the commercial anC
social conditions OF our city will b.
better or worse with prohibitionl How
many trains will come from the hi

THE LICENSE ISSUE.
aHow to Build up the Saloon Busi-
ness
fCommunicated.l I

At a meeting OF the State Liquor
Dealers Of Ohio at Wirthwein's Hall,
Columbus, o., one Of the delegates IN
the course Of a speech on How to
Build Up the Saloon Business, gave
the following suggestions:
The success Of our business is de-
pendent largely upon the creation Of
appetite for drink. Men who drink IL
quor, like others, viii die, and if there
IS no new appetite created, our counters
will be empty as well as our col
fers.
The open field for the creation Of
appetite is among the boys After men
have grown and their habits are formed
they rarely ever change in this regard.
1t will be needful, therefore, that
missionery work be done among the
bows, and make the suggestion, gentle
men, that niekels expended in treats
to the boys now win return in dollars
TO your tills after the appetite has been
created. Above all thing create appe-
tite.
And 80 we learn from those who are
in the business the real nature Of the
traffic we are asked to legalize by vot-
ing @Yes" next month. It is bad enough
that the @old topers' patronize the sa-
looms, but the worst feat89e is the
creation of new generation of drunk
ards from among the boys.
