Clark Pilot Review: On Tues
day, April 81, the people OF this
city will again vote upon the
question Of license, and it is
hoped by the opponents of the
saloon that the town will go dry
as in the past. 1t is no longer
considered q sign of weakness to
oppose license, but on the con-
trary mauy who have in the past
been license men because they
believed it the best way to con-
troll the liquor traffic have
changed their minds. There are
causes tor this change OF senti.
ment, and one of them is the diff.
ference between q town the size
Of Clark, where the saloons are
kept out, and q license town OF
like size. There is not a saloon
town in South Dakota of
1,5OO nearly as desirable Tor a
home as is Clark. The absence
Of the saloon has q tendency to
draw q moral and law.abiding
class of people to the town, and
it is hardly probable Clark will.

VOTE your principles on this
license question regardless of
personalities. 1t is always a
trick of the opponents of a prin-
ciple that is invulnerable TO seek
TO establish prejudice against its
individual advocates. See that
you are not led astray on this
line. If we believe the saloon is
a helpful institution we can vote
for it with good conscience, but
if we believe it is an evil and the
community would be better off
without it, and we vote for it be-.
cause somebody whom we disap.
prove is advocating it's removal,
we certainly can not be credited
with much sense or honesty of
purpose IN the matter.
