believe to sell whiskey under the
strictest police control is much better
than to have a law we know people
will violate, and will never be en-
forced by the people like one who be-
lieves in whatever is right, and thus
to throw an influence on the rising
generation of disregard for all law.
A friend of mine, and a man who
does not drink either, told me the
other day that he had travelled in the
prohibition State of Maine where
they have had so-called prohibition
for fifty years, and in some towns a
worse state of drunkenness prevails
than in any town he had ever seen
where whiskey is sold under legal
restrictions.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we desire no
newspaper notoriety and did not
write at first for any such purpose,
but to give a few facts and reasons
for the action of the board, Though
we took no part in getting the dispen-
sary here, not even having been APP
preached with a petition for its estab-
ishment,) therefore, this shall be our
last in this controversy and we shall
make no further reply to anything
else here, but if tone who is search
ing after truth" will come to US, we
viu'discuss the matter with him, and,
I think, to his entire satisfaction.

started out to see the world. After
three days he was on his way home
from here In the custody Of a Buchan-

his pony on freight. Parents OF the
lad warned the police in various Iowa
towns, and the local authorities nabbed
him.
Young Singer claims that he was not

say that too strenuous course Of
dime novels and a vivid imagination of
his own are what led him astray. He
drew some money from a savings bank

when he reached Iowa Falls. He put
his steed in a livery and went to work

they are Vt practical value and
could be effectively used in control
