J»4k HWBOWKW ftATtt OKU GIVES REASONS F~r of ProW- iH kitioa H«r«. Th« People ha» received the follow ing communication, with the requeat that it be published: We, the members of the Prohibition Prayer Circle, wish to present the four reasons following as a basis of our belief that it wUl be an evil day for our county if the dispensary is reinstated therein: Plrat. Its principle is inherently Irrong; if the selling of whiakey by the individual is sinful, which the Scrip tures support, fee selling of it by the county is none fee loss so and each supporter of it makes himself partly i^spobiibte for the terrible results of this traffic. Second. We fool assured that the county will not profit from a material standpoint, for the Treasurer’s books show that the bulk of the debt now owed by the county was contracted during the time when we had a dis pensary. Its unprofitableness is well illustrated by our State Dispensary, for who will not aay that more than every dollar of profit has been eaten up by graft and corruption and invest! gations of same?

Those who control it soon control the State or county, as the case may be, hold ing it with a grasp almost impossible to loosen. Fourth. We have good reason to believe that not long hence Congress will pass a rational law against the granting of licenses for the sale of al coholic liquor* wherever the State law* prohibit We ask for these ' reasons'' the thoughtful and prayerful consideration of every cituen of the county, particu larly the voter* WOMEN AT WOftK.
