Annis Wants More Salary.

Des Moines Register and Leader:
William Annis, the shortstop of Wich

ing that new place and a better one

his salary of last year by just exact

THE TEMPERANCE WAVE.

THE TEMPERANCE WAVE.
Next April the question of local
option will be submitted to the cleo
tors of . large number of counties in
the state The temperance wave 10
fast spreading over Michigan and
the forces for and against the saloon
are now planning for the battle In.
ouiries are being made fro0 those who
now reside in local option counties
regarding the operation of the law and
its effects upon business conditions in
the localities where the saloons were
closed. AS rule these reports are
favorable to the cause of local
option and they are encouraging the
friends of temperance to wage re-
lentless warfare in their respective
counties
The saloon interests of the country
are becoming alarmed at the wide
spread feeling that is being aroused
in behalf of the local option move
ment and are trying to inaugurata
certain rules for the conduct of
saloons that will make them respect
able. just what the friends of the
saloon expect to do to bring about q

Quoting of fashionable resorts"
which. it is claimed. will not appeal to
tho lower class of society. We fall to
see why one class is better than the
other. With the open saloon. the man
of position and wealth TODAY NAV be-
come the pauper tomorrow. 1t is as
much the duty of the citizenship Of
the state to protect the well-to-do
from the curse of the saloon az it is to
protect the man who tolls all day only
to pass a portion of his wages over the
bar at night. The saloonists of the
country have brought this battle upon
their own heads and they. will have
to suffer the consequences.
Until something better is proposed to
curtail the liquor traffic and to close
the saloons. local option has become
q fixed condition and it is bound to
keen marching forward. provided,
of course. that officers who are chosen
by the people will see to it that the
laws are enforced.
In Gratiot county conditions are
much better under local option than
when the saloons we're permitted. Bust
ness is better, society is in heather
cor dition, families are happier. the
outlook is brighter and the law is
making new friends every day.
