How to Make This Town Beautiful.
Communicated.


Mr.. Editor-The Civic League has
been trying TO make this little town
beautiful. You may plant flowers and
you may Keep the streets clean, but
there is something else that has to be
done. If the Civic League and the
Mayor and all the Prohibition people
in this town would get together to
stop this whiskey selling on Sunday,
don I you think this town would be
more beautiful!
If saloon keeper sells intoxicating
drinks on Sunday, and if he is found
out, he is arrested and a fine paid,
but fclubs" are allowed to keep open
all day Sunday and half the night,
where man will stay there all day
and drink and go home at night and
curse and abuse his wife, who has
been home all day doing ner duty, toll
ing all day to cook him something to
eat. When he comes in he slings and
slams everything he puts his hands
on. Do you call that fraternal or
der, when you can stand on the
streets and see them come out bow.
legged. knock-kneed, pigeon-toed and
walking this way and that way and
in everybody's way7 Do you think
that is beautiful? How many fami-
lies are made unhappy on Sunday by
the clubs! Nine for one and dozens
of others.
Is that what you call protection to
family Excuse me, for I've spent
many unhappy days and nights on ac-
count Of clubs. If they are to be open
on Sunday and sell intoxicating
drinks, you just as we'll let the saloon
keeper do the same, for the saloon
keeper is more honest. The saloons
are open, and you can see what is
going on, bat club men go be hind the
doors like sneak. This is woman
who writes this, and ] know just
what / am writing, and do think that
the Mayor of this town ought to take
it in hand and have all bars closed
on Sunday-the Lords day, and if
they don't know any better they can
be taught 90 keep the Lord 8 day holy.
Maybe more men would devote them
selves to their wives and children
instead of drinking all day and ours
ing their wives half the night.
If that were done, think we would
have a beautiful town on sunday if
we couldn't have it through the week.
do hope something will be done and
my home for one will be MAIDS happier
on Sundays from the abuse of these
places called "clubs.
Sincerely,
A WIFE

when asked if he thought the
speech he made deserved the term
mild. -
George w. Norris, Progressive
Republican member of congress
from Nebraska, laughed at the
idea of mob rule coming. But he,
too, thinks that, great political,
social and economic changes are
coming. He gave out the follow
ing statement today:
The great political, social and
economic reforms for which the
people throughout the country
are asking, will come about with
out recourse to the bomb and the
barricade. They are being
brought about every day by the
actions of the people, prompted
by great unrest.
while the great issues before
the country today are second
only in Importance to those that
brought on the civil war, they
will be settled peacefully.
Evolution, not revolution, will
be the saving of the country. No
better evidence of this could be
asked than the attitude of those
very representatives of great ag--
gregations of capital who are to-
day propresying revolution.
They have seen the handwrit-
ing on the wall. They are con-
WINGED that the time for reform is
at hand, that the people demand
it, and that the people mean to
have it. They are planning to
give in to the demands of the

that thousands of children, wom-
en- and men shall struggle with
conquering poverty and freeze
and starve in our streets?
THE worst vice of this coun-
try is the insane worship of
money. -
My plan is not to redistribute
wealth by mob violence, but by
education to bring about a state
of mind which shall forbid the
piling up of wealth through il
legitimate means and give this
nation forever, its fundamental
principles of liberty, justice and
equal opportunity for all.
