tigate and report at the next meeting

the building alone to cost not les:
than SIS 700 and the remainder to bt
used in purchasing site, equippine

the requirements of the city for Z
number q years.

The boat is Is feet long by six feet

There will always be two sides to
the temperance question. The Nor
wood Times says: ut is safe to say
that the closing of saloons on Sunday
is, so far as the amount Of drink
consumed, farce and only drives
men and boys into back doors and
back places. where they can't get
out so easy and where with the
crowd of good fellows" the drink
more than they ever did before.
You can't make people temperate
by prohibition. The things that are
hidden and forbidden are always the
things that are sought and stolen."
The Hector Mirror in answering
says that the above is an argument
very often put forth by interests
friendly to the unlimited freedom"
of the saloon. Continuing it says
IF such is true, why is it. that the
saloon and the brewery fight the
lid and its attendant restrictions
so persistently? The only explana-
ton is that the argument put forth
by the Times is not true as gen.
eral rule. 1t may work that way in
Young America and Norwood, but
as general rule laws regulating the
liquor traffic and their strictest en-
forcement are blessing to man
kind"
