THE ESTHER SALOON PETITION

In the matter Of Frank Raiders
petition for dramshop at Esther,
which was continued from this term
Of the County Court to the January
term, or until the Assessors books
for this year have been turned in,
we wish to say that We do not be
lieve that the people of the town
ship outside Of Esther would he will
ling to sign petition for n saloon
here, If they knew that the people Of
Esther did not want it.
That being true, we desire to give
you the sentiment OF the people OF
Esther on this question. Out of
more than one hundred and fifty
ax-payiug citizens of Esther, only
thirty signed the petition; that is,
not one-ilfth Of the people Of Esther
are in favor of the saloon.
Out Of the one hundred and nine
ty-threc signers, only one-sixth of
them live in Esther, and yet Esther
contains perhaps One-fonrth of all
the population of the township, (thc
incorporated towns excluded. Five
sixths of the signers live in other
parts of the township.
We believe that the people Of De
Lassus and around Pennington will
treat us fair, and not put this sa-
loon on MS If We don't want IL.
You can readily see from the
above figures, that we are opposed
to it, and If the saloon were to be To-
Gated near you and you should show
by Il vote Of five to one that you did
not want it, we would not favor
forcing ii on you, and we think you
should, and we believe you will,

Is it not time to stop this useless
expense to the County by refusing
to sign these periodic petitions?
The David Brown petition cost the
County perhaps fifty dollars; the

feel sure that they will favor such a

In conclusion, we ask the citizens
