Dawson Sentinel: Some of the
towns along the line are marveling
at the nerve of the people of Daw-
son in first voting $28,O0O bonds and
then voting to get along without
| liquor licenses and saloons. The
fact is, it takes no nerve to do those
things, and just as soon as neigh
boring town begin to look at it from
both sides they will see that saloons
are not benefit to a town but a
detriment. Dawson is one of the
most prosperous towns IN the west,
and the reason for it is that people
pay their own taxes into the proper
channels instead of asking farmers
to pay part of the taxes for them
over the bar of the saloon.
SAME OLD TOWN.

Find things all in the same old

Nothing startling and nothing new
Happened to change the humdrum
hue
Of local life in country town,
But the same old people stand
around,
