Galesburg township has barred the saloon 1t has
phatcaly ordered it to keep out and keep off, These
facts definitely establish ownership No open to
reason can dispute it, These saloons are Galesburgs
private property, existing and operating by the grace
of Galesburg's voters and the $4,000 bride. With
this indisputabe evidence in mind consider the text.
Is the Judge Fair?
An official of the county, who by the way is a
judge the bench, thinks it no more than fair that
Galesburg should pay the expense caused by her
looms especially inasmuch Galesburg receives and
retains for herself and herself alone all the license
money Now there some folks who will take
ception to the judges views. They will insist that
his of justice is warped. They will brand him
a fanatic. They will look upon his utterance as an
assault upon their sacred right to liberty and the pur
suit of happiness They have abridged the Golden
Rule to read edo Others" They are personal liberty

situation will convince them of the injustice
in a system that will mulct taxpayers to support
evil that exists without the and in spite of the
protest of those taxed Nothing will convince them.

minority-but the text is appeal to that body of
the electorate who perhaps have taken lively
interest in the battle of the ballot the license ques

theirs but who nevertheless not blinded by pre-
