Dear Editor: The prohibition vote

gon has been surprise TO many.
This sweeping denunclation of sa-
looms comes mostly from the impure
whiskey handled by many of them and
the bad conduct resulting from the
use of bad whiskey. 1t is entirely
reasonable to suppose that when an

blear eyed at ladies, spit on the side

want to lick somebody aud would pro-
ably while delirious aud crazy, much
rather be larruped himself than to
go his way in peace. B. fore the civil
war when small "stills" were allowed
to run anywhere, make pure liquor
and sell it at 20 cents gallon. there
a. but little dissipation aud very few
confirmed drunkards.
Since the civil war matters have
gone from bad to worse right along.
l have always believed that the
first duty Of the general government
to ward temperance was to sieze and
pour out into the gutter every drop of
impure liquor wherever found. but
instead in its blind prejudice, it has
shut down even small distlllers. hunted
them and even shot the owners and
employes-for whatf Why for at

small "stills" by imposing duties and
expenses upon them so great that they
