Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1915-03-05
CONTEST ON MONDAY

Continued from page one,)
The incongruity has been grotesque,
and of late years even this most con-
scientious of efforts at regulation
seems to have broken down. There
has been a reaction in public opinion
against selling indulgences for the
violation of law. In all probability
going back to prohibition means going
back to blind tigers and speakeasles
in all the larger communities, or to
the local forms of mulct which pre-
vailed before the state went into
mulcting on it's own account. Out OF
it all the Iowans may be able to per-
feet system of regulation which will
regulate if the liquor traffic will give
them any help"
er piano is the acme of player piano
construction, and it is the first time
in the history of Dallas that player
piano has been offered in contest.
Its mechanism supplies trained fingers
which accurately perform the notes
cut in the perforated rolls, thus re-
lieving the eyes, the mind and the
fingers from all concern.
