Another encouraging feature of our

the I'd. that the press of the terri

on the side of reform, while the col

continually welcome articles in favor
of the anti-saloon propaganda. We
only hope that it will not be long be-
fore the same moral conviction char
acteristic Of the press in some places
On the mainland and quite recently in
Pittsburgh, will seize the management
of our papers here and in order to
harmonic their advertising and edi-
torial columns, all liquor ADVERTISE

Does it pay for us to perpetuate
an institution the existence of which
means a tremendous loss to other
moral and legitimate lines of bust

it any longer on business principles
as blight on the prosperity Of any
