The open saloon and the licensed hotel our - Med, the vile odors of putrid liquor p tired forth frommumerous breathing holes oh the front and rear streets of nearly every town and city in the state; the click of billiard balls could be heard at all hours( of the day and night; young men, boys, and some old men, spent their precious time in these dens ,of vice, . smoking, drinking and making hip hideous in their drunken revelry,. and , .. . re ned ladies could not with propriety be Been upon the streets after nightfall. . 1 , Now all is 'changed.- No licensed hotels Or saloons are tolerated in, he state. A few 'unlicensed groggeries or laii d pigs do busi- ness where the prohibitiorsentiment isllow, li or where it is impossible to get a jury to convict this particular kind of law breakers, and some of the unprincipi d -druggists per- jure themselves by eelline liquor for bever. , age, when they are perm tted to sell for inedieine only. You may sk, what then is be real result of the new order of things? We, answer, our cities, to ns and villages • re as pure as you will fin in any civilized country. The temptation o drink, as well as the drink itself, has ben removed, and our children are growing h i practically free from the terrible cirse. ur law prohibits the manufacture, sale I, and importation into the state of all kinds cd n xicatieg liquors, by whatsoever na ethey re known, Under ii. most severe penalties of fi• es and imp ison- ment. In localities wirer the tempo ance element predominates, th law is almost self -operative, as the wou d•be law -breaker knows that his business is npopulara and if arrested he is confident th t his chances for escapingeonviction are , v ry small, and al- though the fine might no trouble itim ISO much, he abhors he idea f confine Mit in the steel cage in the cone y jail, where he may be invited r peatedl to peruse rank temperance literature fu nished by hose zealous workers, the lathe of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, for a term of ninety days or over.
