Last of Barrooms in
This Country.

of local option, he believed that the pro-
hibition movement extending to every
section of this country within few
years. would result in the total disap-
pearance of saloons from the cities,
towns and villages of the nation.
Il firmly believe he declared. that
the word saloon now SO common that
every man, woman and child knows 1t
when it is seen blazond in staring let
tiers from the fronts of buildings every
where, will become an unknown, I'm
recognized, unheard word within the
time of the generation that is now in the
arms and at the bosoms of the mothers
of the country"
