TO PEOPLE

We beg to call your attention to

of the reinsurance of saloon licenses
is to be decided in the personnel of
the council chosen, will soon be here.
rhe saloon having no right to exist
does SO solely because h people SO
elect. We regard a saloon as a en-
smy to true progress in many ways.
II is a menac to our homes, a detri-
ment to our schools, a drain upon le-
climate business. a destroyer of good
morals and a poison in the social
life of our city. OF these things we
are firmly convinced and we believe
that a large majority of the citizens
Of Roswell are In accord with these
sentiments.
We further benev that a majority
OF the bonaide electors of this city
ihould and will decide his question
-,gally by electing counciEnen pledg-
ed to a no-license policy.

the union-buf there is a growing
sentiment in favor of charging the
unit OF legislation. Under the exist
ing law each city or village has the
right to license or prohibit the Il
of liquor, the minimum license and
the maximum hours being fixed by
statute. 1t is quite evident that a
majority OF the voters of u state
favor a larger unit. and county option
such as OHIO Missouri. Texas, Ind

It? The county is the unit for the
enforcement of the law. and as liquor
drinking increases crime, 1t is only
fair that the people who pay the tax

ing the system to he employed for
regulating the sale of liquor.
At the International congress held
in London in July. 1903 in which rs
nations were represented. Lord Al

seem~a nost unsatisfactory and even
farcical method Of managing this
proposition. Such an election would
be held without authority of law. and
there would be absolutely no protec-

opinion and nothing more The in
coming council would be at perfect
liberty to do as they pleased about the
saloons. What the people of Roswell
ask and demand is an expression on
this subject fully and fairly and with

the Democratic party does not take
up this question and act upon it ii

to decide the question for itself. But
this Is not a valid objection. Every
restraining statute suspends the right
of the individual to do the thing pro-
hibited. The larger group controls
the smaller. The city being larger
than the individual decides what the
individual may or nay not do sub
ject To the right of the state to de-
eide what the city may or may not

subject to the provisions of the fed

tations upon the smaller groups.

same logic the people of the country

BRYAN ON THE SALOON.

There are a few people in Ros-
well who are opposed to driving out
the saloons, and who do not care to
come out openly and say so. They
give various excuses for this atti-
tude, the most common one, being
that they are Democrats or Republi-
cans and hat whatever their party
Toes will be satisfactory to them. To
these people we would recommend a
careful reading of the following arti-

ton is only a step toward state pro-
addition. h would not be a valid
objection, even If the fact were ad-
mittod. If the people of a state have
a right to prohibit the sale of liquor
over the entire state they have a
right to authorize the counties to
prohibit within their borders. IL the
counties can Justly claim the right to
regulate the liquor traffic, in the alb
seEce of state prohibition, ii is not
just to deny them this rignt merely

right nay lead to the adoption OF
state prohibition. A man must be

loon to deny TO the people of a county

pie of the state TO ask for state pro-
nihition. And, it may be added, it
looks like a confession OF weakness

failure. the attempt to enforce prohi-
bition by counties ought to make that
fact apparent and thus lessen the

constantly used to debauch politics
and to prevent the intelligent consid-
Grafton OF public questions. The IL
quor interests interfere in all matters
that may even remotely affect their
interests. They made themselves
odious at the last session of the Ne
braska legislature. The democrats
had a majority in both branches for
the first time in the states history,
and the splendid record of the legis-
lature has hat one blot on ii, and tnat
blot was put there by the liquor in
terests. They controlled enough of
the Senators to prevent the submis-
sion of the initiative and referendum.
They were willing to deny to the peo-
pie Of the state the right to express
themselves on any question rather
than risk the use of the initiative and
referendum for the submission of the
liquor question. In~solence, arrogance
and impotence can not go farther.
The democratic party can not at
ford to act as the nouthpiece of the
liquor interests. 1t can have nothing
