have reviewed the reports of the
Justices of the County of fines col

dent to said courts and find no
irregularities. We have examined

fare and reported favorably. We
have examined the County Home,

The Anti Prohibition Manual of
1915 is out. The Publicity De-
partment of the liquor dealers is
sending it to people throughout
the entire country, However, we
are of the opinion that they will
have to send more than the facts
put forth in this manual to change
the tide of public opinion. There
are two issues before the people
that no man nor set of men can
stop. One is National Prohibition
and the other is Woman's Suf-
frage. And we believe the first to
receive recognition will be Wom-
ans Suffrage. Then the cleo
tions that follow will be swept
clean for National Prohibition.
Hence the liquor dealers had about
as well keep their facts and not
trouble themselves with such enor-
nous expense. For their busi-
ness is doomed. - Covington,

is bing sought in every part of the
city today by the united efforts of

lice.

pear before the marshal on a certain
case and that he came to the city
to find out about the matter.
