MARTlNssuRe DRY

The people OF this city yesterday ex-
pressed a sentiment in favor of a
dry Martinsburg. While the major
ity in favor of no license over those
who favored license was Only seven
per cent OF the total vote cast, yet
considering the large vote-in fact the
largest vote ever cast in the city--it
is regarded as a great victory for the
winning side.
The opinion of the people of the
city has been expressed and It Is be-
lbeved that the members of the city
council will abide by the wishes of
the people SO expressed. when it
comes to granting license for another
year. While those who held different
opinions ON the subject were nearly
equal, the win Of the majority will no
doubt prevail.
The struggle has been a long and
hard one, conducted along educational
lines on both sides and has been of
benefit to the community whether we
have license or not and will be Of in
estimable value in making a cleaner
and better iowa.
Whether the city will be bstter I'M
der no license that it was before, de-
Ponds on whether those who backed
the move yesterday continue firm in
their convictions and back up every
move TO carry out what they have
elected at the polls. To drop the mat
ter now and let local option take its
course will result in a worse condition
than that in which we n1w find our
selves. Backed by those who were rep

Local option without the moral sup

A mighty force has been brought
together in this election and there
should be a care taken that this great
strength is net misdirected and its in
fiuence used FIR the advancement of
some individual or political interests,
There is just as much danger in the
welding of this great power as there
was in the power welded by those
who were carried down to defeat at
the polls yesterday. The movement
should be so safeguarded that there
will be no opportunity of the slightest
Implication that this great force is to
be used for other than a righteous
purpose.
With such a strong force at work
for good in the cmmunity. there is no
reason why we should not have a we'll
governed, prosperous and moral city.
But beware, lest this power prove in
sincere and lax and be controlled for
the evil instead of the good

The French say that the successful
wife is the one who constantly renews
herself. Each new day is a new per-
son.
Provided this daily new person is
always charming. it's rather a good
definition, isn't it? The woman who
each time You meet her shows a diff
ferent side of her character, and this
side charming. Is a delight And as
a wife, such a person is a constant
JOY.
Life is so generally monotonous that
the one who can throw some variety
into 1t Is welcome. The husband who
can look forward to a wife who at
the breakfast table or when he comes
home at night is always different. yet
