Since the election of John
Knapp as mayor of SisSeton on a
socialist ticket and the voting of
the town from dry to wet at the
same time, it has been suggested
that good reform would be for
municipality instead of issuing
licenses to private individuals to
run the saloon itself. The evils
of the institution could be min
mized in this way, and the nun.
icipality would get the profit and
could we'll afford to look after
any blind pigging, that might be
attempted. If the people Of Sis
seton are bound to have a drink
ing place, why not put it under
the immediate and direct control
of the city authorities rather
than to farm out the privilege.
One of these could supply the
needs OF the community, and the
party who had charge of it would
be under no temptation to violate
the law, as his income would not
be dependent upon the amount
of liquor he sold We believe
this would be a good opportunity
to put into practice a little Of the
socialist doctrine in regard to
one of the problems of modern
society, and Sisseton may lead
the way.
