think the opinion of a very large majority of our

when they did try it there organized force out

In Cadillac law had just been passed providing for
the ultimate limiting of saloons to saloon to one

them had been increased from $500 to ST 0O0 and OBJ
of the laws relating to their business had been
about the best we had ever known.
They Feared Change
tell you these things in order that you may know
Just how the matter stood when the vote taken in
this city and in county, and why it was that so many
of business honestly feared that change to
county prohibition would not be productive Of better
conditions But in that mistaken.
Cadillac is a city of nine thousand people. At the
election there majority Of three hundred in this
city against prohibition and majority of six hundred
in the county outside the city for prohibition That
gave net majority of about three hundred for county
prohibition.
When it was decided that experiment was to be
made here the business of city and the news
papers of the county made their minds that the test
should be fair one; that prohibition should be given
square deal am quite convinced the law has not been
given fair trial in the cities and counties where failure
has been marked against it.
Has Worked Out All Right
County prohibition has not hurt city in business

took effect and they paying annual license OF

state They were occupying good business locations
and the rental they paid from Is to 5o per cent
more than were charged other tenants
So you see the financial argument in their favor here
was an unusually strong Not less than fifty thou
sand dollars year lost to city in taxes and rental
and in wages to saloon employees. That is this amount
of money reached city treasury and the avenues OF
trade by way of the Saloons but several times that
required from the people of our city by the
saloons And the change has resulted in business GAIN
rather than business loss.
Saloons Are Too Expensive
think the reply of the average business man here
touching the possible resumption of the saloon business
in Cadillac would be that city could not afford it in
a business way. It takes very much more money to
meet the requirements of each saloon than the commu
nifty afford to have expended in that direction.

says may be called "the meteoric
spectacle OF a generation The
meteor varied in brightness and in
color as it shot along. Its visible
course was about 1875 miles in
length, and it's velocity 20 miles
per second. During its flight the
elevation decreased from so to
abous 20 miles. When about half
its flight had been performed it
seemed to explode, but the prin-
cipal mass continued onward after
the outburst. At The point where
the seeming explosion occurred a
short luminouse streat was left, ana
this Immediately intensified and ex-
tended backward along the whole
track. 1t became bent and distort-

hours. At the end OF it's flight the
meteor turned abruptly in its course

there will be places where moder-
ton and sanity will make a notice.

growing that the ordinary way OF
celebrating the greatest OF our
nationa9 holidays is unworthy OF
the country and the times.

nothing unusual. Every Fourth of
July exacts a similar tribute.
There are n or two other things
worth thinking about. To the cost
OF the fireworks and the deaths and
injuries resulting from their use
must be added the of
