family has been very nicely pro-
vided for by the city and the people
who live in proximity to the place,
as well as by those who live far
ther away.
have talked with number of
persons who have visited the place,
among them Rev. +. l.. Young,
and all are pleased with the way the
family has been cared for There
has been no suifering-and there
have always been plenty of the
necessities of life. There are four
children-not fve-and none Of
them are i'll in any manner
OF course, those who desire to
help the family are not prohibited
from doing 50: all donations will be
gladly received. But what object
to is the fact that the article in The
Review would lead people TO believe
that the city was neglectful to the
needs of the citizens, and that had
been derelict in the performance
OF my duty.

inve tigate in regard to this family,

that has been given to this family.

The local option law, which vii
he voted upon At the generaleleclioI
IN June, Is coming in iof consider
able attention. There are sevcra
amcndents To the present law To be
considered, As il now stands the
prohihitionists have the privilege Ia
petition for and call special election
IN precinct which six months
previous voted against prohibition,
providing that ten per cent OF the
voters ia the precinct signed the
petition, The anti.prohihilionisls
are denied this privilege. and are
compelled to wait until the next
general election, II Is also pro
posed to raise the percentage of
voters who petition for an election
irom-Io to go per cent, Another
amendment proposes 10 Contine all
prohibition elections To precincts.
Under the present law several pre-
cincts may vote collectively ON the
law, and the result is determined
by a majority vote. To illustrate:
Should six precincts vote aud the
majority vote declares for prohibit
tion, the whole will have to go dry,
regardless of the fact that three of
the precincts decided To 20 wet
BY this il can be seen that one PIE
cinct can easily assist in making
the laws of another. With the
proposed amendment in force each
voting precinct in the state will
have the right to regulate the sale
OF liquor within its own territory.
