"The saloon has no place Ia a
civilized community. 1t takes from
Ottumwa, out Of the pockets of the
poor and weak, more money every
month for beer and whiskey and
sends it out, of the city than the en-
tire expense of the Sunday meetings.
The saloon never saved soul: never
made happy home; never gave to a
young man a good name or charae-
ter. 1t is destructive pestilence
from beginning to end Why do men
engage in it? If the saloon men OF
Ottumwa would turn their capital and
ability into legitimate lines of trade
and business the change for them and
our city would be so marvellous and
satisfactory. they would be glad to
ride on the water-wagon.
Gentlemen, we invite you TO come
with us on one condition only, that
you cease forever TO CELL drinktto our

pie OF Ottumwa and Iowa are opposed
