Mr.. Levi Carter is a Prohibitionist
now. He says they have downed "Old
Ben" and killed the state dispensary,
and now he is in favor OF abolishing
the county dispensary. He will sign
petition for an election and he.is sure
the country people will vote 1t out
The Lantern representative agreed
with him as to what ought to be DONE
and expressed the hope that the coun-
try people would not only vote out the
dispensary but do their best to have
prohibition enforced and put violators
of the law in stripes. He said he did,
MT care anything about that, but he
was in favor Of closing the dispensary
There may be others who don't care
anything about that" but we believe
that a majority Of the country people
will not only vote to close the dispen-
sary, but will be just as careful to have
the blind tigers exterminated. -. The

dry" counties, under the Carey-Coth-
ran local option act an election cannot
be held on establishment of dispen-
sary until the next general election,
which occurs after the expiration OF
four years from the date Of the election
under the Brice law. 1t will be a long
time, about 1910, before an election
can be held in Lancaster county, and
unless there is great change in the
sentiment among our people, 1t Will be
about 2010 A. D., before one will be
held, II then. Almost every community
in the county is striving to excel In
soberness, education and morals and
whisky can be no service In aiding
along these lines. There is scarcely a
community in the county now that Is
not a safe place for the young to grow
up in.
