YANOW TO BUILD
OPPOSITE THtATtR

Henry Yanow, the pawn broker,
will improve the lots he purchased
recently at the corner of Gold avenue
and Fifth street with a brick busi-
ness block. Mr.. Yanow said this af-
ternoon that he was as yet undecided
as to whether to put up a two or
three story building, but there will
be a first and second story. The first
story will be divided into five store
rooms. two fronting on Gold avenue
25 by 65, and three fronting on Fifth
street, 20 by so feet. The second
story will be divided into office rooms
but will probably be used in the be-
ginning as a rooming house. Likewise
the third floor. should he decide to
make the building three stories. Mr.
Yanow expects to build the first Of
next year.
The location IS directly opposite the
Elks' opera house and IS one OF the
most desirable in the city, being only
half a square from the new govern
ment building. Mr.. Yanow recently
purchased the lots at a bargain and
now intends to improve his property

RACE WAR HAS
BEEN SUPPRESSED
Those In Charge of Situation Say
no MObS VIII Form From Now
On---SOldierS Patrol Streets
and Everything is Quiet
Five Known Dead

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE race
war which began here last Friday
night is thought to be past. Last night
passed without any untoward Incl
dent and it was confidently asserted
today by those in charge of the situa-
ton that no mob of any size will
form from now on.
A special grand jury was summon
ed this morning by Judge James A.
Creighton to investigate the outrages
perpetrated by the mob Friday
night and to indict the guilty. A large
amount of evidence which duplicates
many citizens has already been OBJ
tained.
Four hundred negroes have avail
ed themselves Of the shelter and pro-
lection offered at the arsenal. 1t is
estimated that 1000 negroes left the
city, many OF them never to return.
FIftyfive hundred soldiers patrol the
streets and there has been compara-
lively little violence since the Second
infantry from Chicago swept through
the streets yesterday. The prompt
action of the troops yesterday thwart-
ed the efforts of mob leaders to cut
the fire alarm wires and burn the ne
gro section of the city.
With the death yesterday of Will
Jam Donnegan, an aged negro,\ who

WIS shot while watching the rioters,
the list of known dead has been in
creased to FIVE. Eight of the more
seriously wounded are not expected to
recover and the unknown list of dead
is still figured at fifteen.
There are 200 prisoners in the
county Jail who may be indicted for
murder by the special grand jury
summoned today. States Attorney
Hatch IS backed by Governor Deneen
and three-fOurtns of the citizens of
Springfield in his efforts to bring
those responsible for the rioting to
trial.
Springfield, Aug. 17.-Among the
refugees in the arsenal is Mrs. Will
lam ponuegan, the white widow or
the aged negro who was lynched Sat
urday night. 1t was because of her
marriage TO Donnegan that mob feel
ing against her husband is believed to
have been aroused. The police are
meeting usual difficulties in their at
tempts to discover the leaders of the
riot. All arrested claim they We're
present merely as spectators. The pa
trolmen claim they could not recog-
nize any rioters"

Until Next tuesday.

In another column The Gazette
has given space to communication
in defense of the license system. In
asmuch as this will likely be the
only argument presented The Ga
zette will answer it as the last word
that can be offered in its columns
against no-license vote.
The opponents of saloons do not
expect that ''no-license" will do
away with all drinking, but they do
believe it will lessen drinking ma
teriaily. And that is the belief of
the brewing interests Of the coun-
try. These institutions are not ad-
vancing thousands Of license fees to
retail dealers if they did not know
that the saloons increased business
for them. The saloon thrives on
the treating habit and men who
would otherwise spend ten or fifteen
cents day are induced to spend
dollars. Temperance workers be-
lieve the surest way to scotch the
drink evil is to shut down the saloon
and with it the treating habit. And
the brewers and distillers know their
profits are largely the result of the
treating habit and the saloon the
place where it is mostly done.
The Gazette unequivocally disputes
our correspondents statement, that
no town can make prohibition effec-
tive where public. opinion is divided.
AS we'll say that no town can prevent
larceny where all its citizens are not
honest. In both cases a strong ma
jority of law-abiding citizens helps,
but in either case there is likely to
be minority to reckon with.
| The saloon is hated for its political
/ influence. 1t is leagued everywhere
with everything that is base and cor
rupting. Even if just as much
liquor were used it would be worth
all it costs to get rid oft as public
institution. Temperance men be-
lieve it is neither Christian nor NOR
al to accept blood money from such
a source.
Whether Renville has or has not

/ with the question. The law can bs

THE OTHER SIDE.
Fron first page.

What this city needs is more ed
ucation and less laws. Not many
years ago seven saloons were in bus
mess here and making money; now
we have three and none very pros
porous. If it is a matter of law
purely, why the change? If law has
but little to do with it, why not let
matters run as they are?
The temperance people, if they
were not blind to reason, would see
that it is not law we need. Any law
that is not backed up by a strong
public sentiment is generally dead
letter. For instance, we have what
is known as the "noxious weed" law,
strongly drawn and declared consti-
tutional by our courts and every
householder in this county violates
it right along.
Right here the average temper
ance speaker says, well. why have
laws against murder, arson or steal
ing; why not license few men to do
these things and get revenue from
it for the city," Having delivered
themselves of this choice bit of wis
dom, they settle back with an air of
finality. To anyone who can reason
there ought to appear some differ
ence. In the first place usually there
is a party who objects to being kille
robbed or burned out. If the ma
jority of victims were satisfied all the
laws in Christendom would be use
less. And again, in spite of what
the radicals think, there is differ
ence between selling person what
he wants to buy and robbing him of
what he wants to keep.
Because a decision for a dry town
means loss of revenue without any
sure compromising advantage; be-
cause it will not stop drinking and
likely not selling of intoxicants and
because it abandons the policy OF
moral suasion, which has succeeded,
for legal suasion, which has very
often been miserable failure, many
sober business men are likely to vote
wet" A VOTER.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1908-12-30

not compare it with gambling and
the social evil? We have laws against
both and yet according to his views
such laws are idle because, forsooth,
the victim Of the gambler consented
and the visitor to the house Of i'll
fame goes willingly. Why not rec
ognize the fact that gambling is even
now going on at Redwood Falls.
Why not recognize the fact that
many, otherwise good citizens, occa-
sionally gamble and that men who
stand we'll in the business world are
not always chaste, and license both
the gambling hell and the brothel?
And the correspondent can rest that
both institutions would feel perfect
ly at home in the neighborhood of
the average saloon.
Finally the writer comes down
very heavy on education and moral
suasion. Who has made drinking
questionable in Redwood Falls, but
the earnest men and women who
have been keeping up the fight for
years. It's not been by by letting
the evil alone but by constant agita-
ton that the saloons have been
starved down from seven to three.
How much have persons like our
correspondent done to make such
results possible? He loses sight of
the fact that he and others like him
have been made temperate in spite
Of themselves. The rosewater sort
of a conflict he advocates would
never scotch one Of the institutions.
Those dead in earnest in this matter
recognize that the temperance fight
is one to the finish. If it were not
for the ground won by those of the
community who have been willing
to go to some trouble and expense
to make the town decent and order
ly the saloon would not be the mild,
respectable sort of a thing it is local
ly but the rampant, law-defying
notwithstanding, ally of the nous
of ill fame and shelter of the gamb-
ling table it always is where it has
the power and dares to do its worst.
These are some of the reasons why
many sober. temperate men have de-
cided to vote for a dry town next
lear.
