"WhiSkey Shops Hurt Business. "

SAYS L. =. SENATOR CARMACK.
The absurd contention is often
made that the abolition OF the saloon
would injuriously affect the pros
perity of a community. There are
some arguments so repugnant To
reason that they do not need the
refutation of experience. Wealth
is produced by the hand and brain
of man, and whatever impairs the
effectiveness of both mind and body
is destroyer of wealth. The
tattered vagabonds wallowing in
the gutter add nothing to the
prosperity of the community. and
neither does the man who puts
them there.
THE saloon by its insolence, its
arrogance, its persistent lawless-
ness has forced the issue upon the
people, and the people must meet
it. 1t refuses to be reformed, it
must therefore be destroyed. 1t
has proclaimed by its conduct that
it would rather die than obey the
law. In doing so, it has left but
one course for self-respecting and
law-abiding people.
The whiskey shop must go"
Yours respectfully.

Making Men Sober by Law

1t is not a question of making
men sober by law, but of making
them drunkards by law; and that is
very different proposition. Men
are sober, they are born sober
Except those who inherit taste
for strong drink from drunken
parents); they are inclined TO tenn
perance. IT TAKES THE
TEMPTER AND THE DRAM
SHOP TO MAKE THEM
DRUNKARDS. Without the
dram-shop there would be few
drunkards. 1t is the drunkard-
maker. When it is established by
law, then it is the making of people
drunkards by law, that is to be
considered, and not the making of
men sober by law"

LeeSburg.

We, the undersigned citizens of
Leesburg, Virginia. Certify to the
following:
Our town has had no license
during the last four years. Pre-
vious to that time ladies were
unwilling to travel our streets
ON Saturday nights and holi-
days or when there we're any
special gatherings, prefsrring to
remain in their homes rather than
be jostled by drunken negroes and
whites. Now ladies can travel
without escort in perfect safety.
Where drunkeneSs was common
under license, it is n very unusual
thing to see a man under the infu-
ence of liquor. Formerly boys
fifteen years old and upward drank,
now boy who drinks is an excep-
ton.
Business has improved under
Local Option. A number of new
houses have been built by rich
men, including the cashier of the
American National Bank of Wash
ington, ID. &. to rent as an invest
ment. These houses we've rented
before completion and ii is now
almost impossible To secure n house
unless engaging it months ahead.
The finances of the town are better
than under license. Taxes fifty
cents on the one hundred dollars
local option having made no change
in the rate, yet the town council
has bonded the town for $50, 900
for new water system and expects
To pay these bonds when due.

Treasurer Reports.

y special meeting of the Town
Council was held Monday night for
the purpose Of hearing the annual
report of Treasurer p. II. Powers.
which had been called for some
time ago.
There were present the Mayor,
Recorder, and Councilmen Lewis.
Baker and ShackIeford.
Treasurer Powers report for
the year from September 1. 1906.
to September 1. 1907, showed re
ciepts from all sources of more
than $4,000, including moneys
turned into his hands from the
former administration.
His report shows a present cash
balance in bank Of S1,O71.29. with
something over $500 yet due from
uncollected taxes.
The report was received. and
Recorder George y. Hardesty was
appointed TO audit same and verify
the books of the Treasurer and
make report to the Council at its
next regular meeting.
\ resolution was adopted to the
effect that hereafter no bills or
claims will be allowed at any ex-
cept the regular monthly meetings
on the first Monday ineach month.
y resolution was also adopted in
regard To the allowance of rebates
on water taxes. II appeared that
the rule requiring water-users TO
notify the superintendent thirty
days in advance whenthey desired
their water cut off had not been
closely followed, and the resolution
makes it imperative that such shall
be done. 1t was also ordered that
future water-taX bills contain this
resolution tor extracts from Same) .
So that no one can plead ignorance.
From "a newspaper mans view
point, the report of Treasurer
Powers (which was his first annual
statement was plain, concise and
easily understood. 1t was brief
and TO the point.
After most harmonious session.
the Council adjourned, no water
works or other arguments marring
the Damon and Pythias mood of
the members, as the meeting was
called especially to hear the Treas
urer'S report.

matterwill be discussed (andcusSed.
