Business Mems View.

When year after year, business men
OF this town signify and express in var
iouS ways that they desire this town
to be no-licensc,, town, it ought to
have weight with the doubtful voter.
The saloon advocate, willing to use
any means to secure his end, frequent
ly declares that license brings business
to the storekecper. But surely the
storekeeper knows what is for his in
terest and when year after year, from
sixty to one hundred business men ex-
press in conversation and vote and con-
tribute TO the 'no-license" fund, their
earnest desire for "no.iicense admin
istration, no statement to the effect
that license brings business will weigh
very heavily.
The business man knows that with
the saloons closed, many dollars will
90 into legitimate channels that with
the open saloon would go for liquor
He knows that he will not have
nearly as many unpaid bills, and
that he can collect his bills much
more easily, and IN spite of the state
ments Of the saloon agents that he
would do more business, he thinks he
knows his own interests best.

DO you wish to see the product il
turns out and live IN the atmosphere
of it?
DO you want your children to pass
through its vile odor every time they
leave their home?
There are men who will vote for the
saloon, who would not vote for it were
it to be located in their neighborhood.
But, If licensed, it has to be in some
body's neighborhood.
Some people have TO see it every
time they look out their windows
have to see the debauchery OF its life
have TO live in its atmosphere and
send their children past its door every
time they go to school or church or
store.
Ano is it just to vote it there when
you would vote against it If it were to
be your neighbor?
BE fair in the matter and do as you
would be done by.

sacred for gold to escape Just personal
taxation.
We have occasionally read OF men
living on the thefts OF children. Is
that any worse than to give consent
to the monster evil OF liquor selling
that we may pay our town obligations
easily?
We would as soon think of granting
licenses for all evils that exist and
will exist, and SO gain part of the
spoils, as to grant licenses for this
great evil
MAY God forbid that we run our
town on the profits of any Of these
forms of evil that so crush out love
and life and hope and JOY
1t is one of the strongest arguments
that can be given to the clean voter.

To The Women.

You cannot vote and we are always
sorry you cannot when il comes to this
question, for we know what you think
OF the saloon and its evils.
But you can be loyal in the matter.
You can WELD the influence of your
works and your lives.
A good and wise wife's request is
generally granted, especially II it does
not cost the husband too much.
A mothers wish is always respected
by every decent son.
And sweetheart's desires are
granted quicker than you can say Jack
Robinson"
After all, the women have suffered
as deeply perhaps from the saloon S
horrible influences as any class and we
know they will willingly do all they
can to help mo" vote
Then, wisely, kindly, patiently,
sweetly, use whatever power you
possess to win every possible vote for
the cause.
A single vote may win the victory
this year,

Your NeiehbOr.

If the saloon is to be legali2ed the
coming year its evils will surely come.
mo man will doubt but that some
Young men now clean will be made to

Some husband now sober will 20

some child will feel cruel blow, be

Some wife learn what poverty

There will be necessary evils of the
great cruel tratlic.
Now who will be to blame?
Will not the man who votes yes"

saloon evil, have "A part in the wrong?

To The New Voter.

There will be at the coming election
a good number Of voters who cast their
first ballot,
Now, it may be easy in life to vote
for men and measures that will turn
out later to be the unsatisfactory men
and measures, and on a simple queS.
tion of morals no man need make any
real mistake
Right is. right and our conscience
usually guides US correctly in the mat
ter of morals, and if the new voter
follows the lead of conscience there
need be no mistake.
1t is only when men weigh morals
against dollars that they blunder and
commit the sin that is later source
of sorrow.
We have heard many men repent for
the sin of selling integrity for gold.
We have yet to know of one who was
sorry he voted as conscience dictated.
A conscience devoid of offense is
worth more than the cheap approval
OF those who seek their own gain
