Saloons should be kept out of can
Jon County, that people would not
become drunkards, nor girls become
irunkards' wives, that men would
lave the money they spend in the
saloons to support their families. Be
cause there are many other sins
chat come with the saloons. That
more people would become Chris
ians. That we might sooner have
Statewide prohibition.
