NO0RHEAD'S 80
SALOONS QUIT

Fargo, July 1.-Moorhead inferred
it's saloons last night and 5000 people
attended the obsequies. And it was a
mighty live corpse. Bursting of giant
firecrackers and torpedoes, skyrockets
penetrating the air, streets crowded
beyond traffic control, sidewalks lined
with thousands of pedestrians, inces-
SAINT ringing of bells in the buffets,
and the turning back of the clocks
characterized the death of the pass
ing show of 1915.
Northern Pacific avenue and Front
street of Fargo never saw such a
gathering of thirst-stricken people in
their history. Automobiles by the
hundreds with their electric lights il
Eliminating the streets for blocks
ahead, pierced the thick dust which
hung over the two streets that led to
the death bed of the saloons.
At II o'clock big red moon arose
over the city of Moorhead and the
brilliancy of the myriad of lights of
the teeming saloons was lost as it
reached the zenith One by one the
famous institutions of Moorhead-the
Rathskeller, the Gold Mine, Diemerts'
Toole's the Rex and others - closed
and dispelled crowds of people. At a
late hour in the evening nothing was
sold but bottled beer, saloonmen re-
fusing to fill glasses or jugs. .'.#,.
Voices and yells went up from the
vicinity of the north and the south
bridge that sent shrills into the calm
of the pacific night air. And the big
moon watched it all! Hundreds of
women passed in automobiles and
watched the closing scene. Automo-
biles damned First avenue north,
Moorhead and First avenue south,
Moorhead. Police didn't attempt to
make arrests. They had other duties
to perform.
The House Of Lords, near the North
bridge, adjourned at Z o'clock. It's
stock was all disposed Of at that hour.
Others continued until II o'clock and
later. The crowd, however, was or
derby. The death of the Moorhead
saloons occurred on May II when the
citizens Of Clay county voted out the
places by a majority Of 1,O59. The in
terment took place last evening.
Turning back the pages Of history
it is recalled that when the Northern
Pacific first invaded the village Of
Moorhead in the year 1872, John b.

Chaffin started the first saloon in an
old discarded box car on the North
ern Pacific tracks. 1t was a miser-
able old howell, dirty, filthy, and un-
tidy. Reports say that old John had
only one glass, a clean towel, two
bottles of beer and one bottle of rye.
The towel always hung over the Shout
ders of old John and bore no marks
of usage. The saloon opened prompt
ly at in the morning and closed
at II o'clock in the evening.

JULY IS is NAMED
As PURITY SUNDAY

State of North Dakota, Executive De-
partment:
Throughout the civilized world there
is an ever-increasing and insistent de-
mand for development and improve
ment. From the date of it's birth,
within our own country there has been
continual struggle to better the con-
ditions of our people. In the better
ment, of conditions-political, CONNER
cial, industrial and social-there has
been vast difference of opinion as to
the best methods to be employed to at
tain the desired end.
Beyond the political, commercial or
industrial phase of our national life
there lies the greater, more powerful
and far reaching force, the national
moral character of our people, force
which overshadows all others and
goes farther toward development and
Improvement. In the battle for exis-
tence, often the moral side has been
forgotten, and the desire for financial
or personal gain has dulled our moral
eyesight, making it difficult to dis
tinguish between right and wrong. Al
lied with this and hand in hand, the
three great demoralizers-strong
drink, drugs and White Slavery-have
worked necessarily and persistently
to lower our standards Of right. These
three influences have been a grave
menace to our national existence, but
with the aid of sensible legislation
and the gradual awakening of our peo-
pie, the first two have been to large
degree eliminated and there remains
the last and greatest evil, the White
Slave Traffic.
The International Purity Congress
has done splendid wurK in endeavoring
to stamp out these three evile and with
the view of cooperating with them, I
L. B. Hanna, governor, do hereby pro-
claim Sunday, July IS
PURITY SUNDAY
in the State of North Dakota for the
year 1915.
On that day l earnestly request that
the people in their homes and places
of worship resolve to do their utmost
to aid in the development of a higher
citizenship and to hereafter so con-
duct themselves, in thought as we'll as
deed, as to make woman mean, as it
rightly should, Gods finest, purest and
most sacred creation.
Done at the Capitol at Bismarck,
this 14th Day of June, T: D. 1915.
