Why how Id the dispensary he shorn f the profit feature? What bene it will that be? It will make hiskev cheaper, but will {hat be ny beneiit either to the morals r the health of tho people? What he Governor should recommend nd what the Legislature should arry out is some way to get ound Simontoti's dicision? if here is any way to pet round it;! nd if there isn't, that the dispenarv should remain as it is, only nforced with more vigor. The ispensary is alripht; what is; /roup is our officials need liberal yperdermie injections of some j ind of strengthening tonic itij he region of the spinal column. ^ n other words they lack backbone In spite of what many of he newspapers say, the great aajonty of the people believe in ; lie dispensary and will uphold ts strictest enforcement.
