Hurrah for Prohibition! Ala
bama comes out on New Years
morning declaring every saloon in
fifty of it's counties closed forever.
Only II are left that have saloons,
but they will meet with the same
fate before the end Of the year.
And look at Georgia, with it's clean
prohibition banner. There's day.
light in the swamp, boys, and as
the morning star is twinkling let
us keep the eye on the forest for
the selection of the best Legislative
timber. It has been asserted that
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and
other large cities never can 20 dry.
This is only bosh. Let the Mime
sofa legislature give us county op-
tion and every saloon will fade
away inside Of two years. The peo-
pie are looking for it and are ready
for it, but the right Legislative
timber must be selected.
And all the prohibition papers in
the state must be supported by
every family and citizen now stand
ing in the ranks and files fighting
for that good cause. Amongst
other good resolutions adopted at
the beginning Of the new year one
should read like this: Resolved,
That the Willmar Tribune, one of
the cleanest and best newspapers of
the Northwest, be earnestly sup
ported by all the ministers, teach
ers and good citizens of the county
and all it's readers at large.
We are figuring on new prob
lem, trying to find out what sort of
an animal comes next to a blind
pig. We have the subject before
us. Some claim it is specimen
belonging to the wildcat family.
Commissioner S. A. Syverson will
leave for Willmar tomorrow to at
tend meeting pertaining to coun-
ty affairs.
