HOW MITCHELL LOCKS
DR.. Hoayland Gives His Ideas til,
Way That Mitchell Appears Tn
der Dry Conditions.

Mr.. Editor:
have been d resident of the city
of Mitchell less than a month. l am
impressed favorably With what II
here. / note many substantial bust
ness buildings elegant church proper
ties, splendid school houses, a COL
lege plant OF granite, a beautiful
city hall, public library and govern
ment building. The corn palace is
in itself a wonder OF enterprise and
art. The foundation of the new high
school promises Il fine and all sutfi-
cient outfit or our developing city.
| Many handsome residences are go
ing up and to add TO the hundreds
already here. From a material stand
point Mitchell, to thesnew conner, up
pears prosperous and progressive.
But better than this l have found
the people cordial, warm hearted
and happy. They are free from Soc
ial snobbery, and de~nominational
bigotry. They have high education
al and moral ideas. lhave been
about the city generally and have
not seer a drunken mar or heard
a protane brawler. From what a
stranger can see on the surface the
city is we'll governed and law abid-
ing-just such a city as decent peo-
pie love to move to and live in. The
public press so far as | have read it,
is clean and cordial in the support
of good things. l have conyersed with
representative people, many of whom
did not know me, and all have stood
up for Mitchell and have said that
the past year has been one of the
very best in her history.
Under such happy conditions, the
proposition to put back the saloon,
which was put out a year ago, is
enough to make angels weep and
devils laugh. l can't believe the mer
of Mitchell will do it. 1t would be g
backward step, an unspeakable ca
lamity. The saloon, the gambling
hell and the brothel are triplets anc
train together. Are they to flaun'
again their denominations in the fac.
of the citizenship of this business
educational and religious center
No, never, if the progressive, mora
and religious forces here rally ant
) get busy. l believe they are rallyinl
and getting busy mt hat they will
win next Tuesday.
