The oreat American Ro,s.

The average. American is biase al
most before the English girl is ready
TO leave her school, says a writer. The
English girl never leaves her govcrncss
and home before she Is eighteen. while
ut the same age the American girl has
seen much of the world. Yet the
American girl retains her vivaclty and
her interest in everything. and IT Is
that one quality, think, above all 9th

Of the Englishwoman. The American
woman never looks TO her husband as
master, while the Englishwoman is

LIQUOR ELEMENT CLAIMS BTSI-
NESS HAS BEEN INJURED.
INDIVIDUAL SENTIMENT
IS SAID TO Be STRONG
Already Business Men Have Sold
Out and Ii Is Stated Others VIII
Follow-Ncwspaper to Quit.

Business men who are connected
with the so-called liquor element in
Sunnyside state that the feeling
against them is so strong that it is
practically impossible to conduct
business in that city, and conse-
quently several of them state they
will probably be compelled to sell
out shortly Already some of them
have quit their business and it is
said others will follow.
1t is intimated that one of the
Sunnyside newspapers is about ready
to either cease publication or to
turn over its business to other
hands.
According to the liquor element
there has practically a boycott ex-
listed. They state that it is evident
ly no preconcerted plan, but on the
other hand arises from individual
sentiment and gradually the patron
age has dropped to such an extent
as to cause considerable worry.
One of the best known business
men has sold out, it is stated. as
result of this.
To all appearances the feeling OF
the anti-liquor men has been such
as to make a decided difference in
shifting the trade Of the town.
1t is absolutely claimed that there
has been no public intention to do
this, but individuals have swung
their patronage to such an extent as
to cause a falling off in patronage
for certain business houses.
