Petition Against License.

We, the undersigned residents Of
the territory adjacent to the village
of Princeton, Minnesota, hereby re-
quest the voters of Princeton to cast
their vote against the granting Of
saloon licenses at the next village
election We deeply feel and realize
that the existence Of saloons in the
village of Princeton is a menace and
danger to our boys and families.
These boys get Intoxicating liquors
at the saloons in Princeton, some of
the boys being minors. We are dis
turbed and annoyed by the drunken
ness caused thereby, even at public
meetings in our neighborhood. Sa-
looms are costly to US even if we do
not patronize them. The money
spent therein is wasted and lost to
legitimate business; citizens are
made worthless drunkards and all
that Princeton gains is few
Thousand dollars in license money
which it costs the farmer near it
many thousand to enable the saloon
keepers to pay. We do not wish to
avoid Princeton but feel that unless
the saloon is removed we must keep

her chair and picked up the handker-

his lips.
Ten o'clock passed and II struck as
he sat in silent and happy dreaming.
Suddenly the handkerchief dropped
from his hands and his face showed
