three caroms and left the balls widely
separated on his miss. Demarest could
not bring them together, but he scored

lowed with three, missing a short cush-
ion shot At the end of the third in
ming the score stood IA to 10 in De-
marest's favor.

dazzling masse. Cure, by careful nurs
ing and a couple of drives for posi-
ton, added forty-seven TO his string

saloon for that the saloon debauche and de-
grades the community.
This ansaoon movement appeals to all classes for the

advance for the eradication of what is undoubtedly the
greatest barrier to social progress.

Four Reasons Why

Answering it's question why the saloon is being
kicked and cued by everybody these days, the Womans
World says is because the clear cold conviction has finally
soaked into the system of the average and woman
that
First, the biggest part of current crime and pauper
ism be easily and directly traced to the door of the
saloon cotheslne be traced from post to
other
Second that dirty politics. town graft city graft and big
municipal graft and all the soed machinery of bossism
stick naturally and inevitably to the licensed saloon
burrs stick to the curly coat Of shepherd dog
Third that the license money of the liquor traffic is
drop the bucket compared to the actual cost Of the
liquor traffic the community in which it permitted to
exist.
Fourth, that experience has shown abstinence to be
prime requisite in all legitimate business and
that the saloon is not only to this condition, but
is at the time parasite every other branch of trade
and commerce.

That Killed 1t

The Decatur World has suspended publication after ssu
ing for twenty-five days. says the Moline Dispatch 1t did
not find public support of it's demise relate,
though it backed by 'smen prominent in the
munity.''
Rghtfuly wrongfully the general public opined that
the World started by brewery interests for the purpose
dscredng prohibition which has been the order of the
day in Decatur since the spring of 1908 Decatur people
did not want that kind of paper in the community

Nothing But a Curse

But what if the liquor traffic made this nation fabulousy
suppose her Golfers should burst with silver and gold
suppose millionaire should be born at every tick Of the
clock then the liquor consummate failure and
unmtgaed curse for there is good thing it does not
attack.
Nothing is too pure for it's Shiny hand 1t defes every

poverty home to howell peace laughter to waing
