a MUNICIPAL CLUB ROOM

It has been suggested, that if
managed right, municipal clu b
rooms would be a splendid in
stitution for River Falls. 1t should
not in any sense be a loafing place
for habitual oilers It's purpose
would be to provide an opportun-'
itv for social diversion. We have
III mind, first, an accommodation
for the farmers who come to this
city to trade. They meet h er e
from widely separated localities
and enjoy getting together Tor
social chats and to discuss pro
blems pertaining to their business.
AS it is now the city has nothing
in that line to offer them more than
the limited accommodations in
stores or other business places
nothing better than in the ba c k
woods hamlet where one phase OF
the idea g illustrated by the meet
ing place of the "soap box senate.7
The farmers use of club room
is a prominent one, but m n y
other important advantages are
found in cities of this size which
have provided such institutions.
We introduce this subject in hopes
of learning what others in this
community think of the idea, and
we would like to have the Journal
readers who are interested send
in for publication their opinions
and suggestions.

At Hudson one of the temperance
speakers during the recent cam
paign made statements in regard
70 the Mayor and Council which
have put him in line for bit Of
trouble. Why some of these cam
paign speakers, especially t h e
with the basis for argument that
a temperance lecturer has, should
sacrifice thuth for sensational eff
feet is more than we can under
stand. They have everything in
their favor for a strong appeal,
yet many persist in, as one man
put it, "a careless manipulation Of
the truth" just for dramatic eff
feet. FIR. Dunne's lecture was en-
tirely free from that kind of talk
and was successful.
