WILL RAISE
MORE STOCK
NEAR GROVER
Industry mrived Some Years Ago
and Will Be Revived BY Many
of the Farmers

Grover, Sept. 1S.-Homesteaders
and farmers in this vicinity are
gradually drifting back into the
stock raising business, an enter
prise which a few years ago thriv-
ed here.
Not many years ago stock rails
ing was the mainstay Of this section
and it was good country for the
business, but then the homesteaders
came and with their fencing off and
breaking up of the pasture land the
business dwindled. 1t has recently
occurred to- these men, however,
that the business could now be fol-
lowed with better success than be-
fore, for the pastures have been
developed and are now better than
they used to be and would furnish
more certain crop of grass Hay
crops are also better, and with the
modern methods in farming that are
now applied it is believed the bust
ness can be made more profitable
than it was in the old days. and II
is rapidly being re-established.

*@%***********s*** ***** OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Was there why that should have wished to
rob anyone? Was there any generalization?
Do you believe he would have that night
if his mind had not been paralyzed with whisky?
Yes, Mr.. Attorney, the people know whisky did 1t
but every fellow who gets drunk doesn't murder
and there is personal libery-dont forget about per-
sonal liberty We must let saloons prosper per-
sonal liberty will die
Who Pays the Penalty?
But the law,-the prosecuting attorney makes it
plain, the law will not murder on the ground
that it was committed while the murderer drunk.
Blame whisky-but the who drinks it must pay
the penalty when tragedy results. Does he? How
about that bereaved husband who witnessed the
murder of his wife? What of the two little children,
made motherless by that bullet fired from gun held
in the hand of mailman made mad by alcohol? Are
not these paying heavy tribute to whisky? Hear the
testimony of one of the defendants:
Honest, gentlemen, it, God my witness,
I never had any intention of killing any I
drunk" And that is the plea of all four assassins.
How long will civilized people in consideration Of
license fee tolerate the sale of poison that taken
into the human system sometimes transforms peace
able citizen into vertable mailman? How long will
such people sit complacently by and Witness I'M
moved to action, the handworl of the saloon so
clearly demonstrated in this tragedy? Who will say
that the who votes to perpetuate the license sys
tenn for the sale of intoxicants the who fails
to vote against such system has responsibility in
such murders? The law demands the punishment of
the four murderers. They must suffer the penalty.
But do they? We ask again.
