THE MUNICIPAL SALOON AT
SISSETON.

There has been so much published
as to the advantages Sisseton has re-
ceived from the so-called municipal
saloon which was established this
last year, let us hear from some of
the business men who live there:
Mr.. M. L. Stavig of the Stavig
Bros. Department Store, Sisseton, s.
d., says: Il personally have been un-
able to SCI that the present way is
any improvement on a saloon run by
an individual. Some men who were
sober and Industrious during our six
years OF no license have now gone
back to their old habits. The mum
icipal name adds responsibility to
this saloon that makes 1t very dan
gerous to the boys and young men.
Sisseton has not solved the liquor
question"
Mr.. II. l.. Spackman, president of
the Farmers State Bank, Sisseton. s.
d., says; Il believe the municipal sa-
loon has not been a benefit to bust
ness in Sisseton generally and has
had the same effect as any other
kind of a saloon would have. 1t Is
my opinion that Sisseton will be in
the dry column again after the
spring election, to remain there for
years to come"
Mr.. O. E. Lem, county auditor OF
Roberts county says: There is as
much drunkenness now as il some
individual were running the saloon.
The saloon traffic cannot be CONTROL
ed by having some n run 1t on a
salary, and not interested in the
profits of the business
r.. F. Sonstegard, hardware sales
man, says: The Sisseton saloon has
failed to eliminate b~lind-pigging,
b~ootlegging and drunkenness. 1t Ii
safe to say that we have Is drunks
now to every one we had during the
dry period"
The editor of the Sisseton Week
ly Standard of March 9th, 1914,
says: 1T is reported in some papers
that Sisseton has solved the saloon
problem. Well. hardly! The only so
luton OF the saloon problem II tAt

KILLED BY AUTO.
Seven-Year-Old Aberdeen Boy Run
Over In Street.

Aberdeen. April IL. - Irwin. Z
year-old sol of Frank Christian
son, a local barber, was run over and
killed in front of the Aberdeen the
alter by an automobile driven by
Shelby Whaley. 81 years old, an en-
ploye of the Harms music store.
The boy had been playing on the
street where the band was rendering
music, and ran out from behind an
automobile standing along the curb,
chasing a playmate. when the cal
struck him. The front wheel passed
over his head, causing a fracture OF
the skull, from which he died within
five minutes.
Whaley is being held pending an
investigation of the coroner's jury
Frank Christianson, father of the
boy, came here last August from
Sioux Falls, where he had worked al
his trade. He had been previously
employed at Sioux City, la. His
home is in Wisconsin.

extinction of the saloon. In the past
the exact amount of money spent for
booze has been a matter of guess
work but some light is being thrown
on this subject here in Sisseton. II
is estimated that the total will reach
$4,000 or $780, 1000 by the end OF
the saloon year. This is causing the
business men TO open their eyes as
to the difficulty in making collections
the past season."
Besides all this, many of the best
attorneys of the state have given out
their opinion that the municipal sa-
loon is illegal and can be closed by
process of law. This being the case
1t is unwise to consider il as a pos
sibility in Madison. Remember this
when you vote.-Adv.
