The sacred cause of Sobriety and The

Triumphant by anywhere from 10000
TO 100000 majority.
The thing seems so sweeplng.y new

fervor with which the News. Journal

their own pages.

While the Thirty Years War has been

not without Importance.
The efficiency of prohibition depends
upon a staunch supporting sentiment.
These newspapers can help in the fos-
tering of this sentiment and in the
stimulation of official vigilance, thereby
making it possible for Michigan to cast
her example and experience upon the
side of national prohibition.
For the perfection of the dry move
ment does not lie in the direction Of the
smaller unit, but in the direction OF the
larger unit.
Until there shall be no such thing as

The Times would have word, a.

Government by a commission was
deemed the solution and became effect

The commission form Of government
worked so well that in 1905 it was adopt
ed by Houston.
Two other cities, having 10000 III

A flood had come and worked terrible
havoc in Galveston.
