Show S ANOTHER VICTORY. ! Moscow, Ida., last week voted "dry" by 814 to 392, for which the citizens of the town are to be congratulated. Moscow is the seat of the University Univer-sity of Idaho. In view of the town's educational 1 advantages, there are many people who will wish I to take up their residence there while their children I pursue their studies in the university, and who I will be pleased to know that the saloons will not be I ' permitted to extend their baneful influence over the I home. And those parents who will, send their chil- I dren away from home to school will be influenced I in favor of the Moscow institution by the action of the citizens in tiivorcing the town from the liquor J influence. i A majority of 422 in a total of 1206 votes indi- I vines a very strong; sentiment in favor of prohibi- I tion. It is said that some of the workers for the I f-ause have expressed disappointment that their vic- I tory was not by a larger majority. Rather should I they rejoice at the pplendid showing made, f That Moscow should vote for prohibition is not a very large victory for the temperance cause, but I it places the town in a very favorable light before I the rest of the country, and is an invitation to a- 1 high class of poopte to make their homes there. It f also indicates the ever-growing sentiment against 1 the saloon which is sweeping the country, and which f the liquor interests are pleased to call hysterical." i It is not hysterical, and the saloon mien know it i is not. It is thecul mi nation of yearsCof study i and observation, and the conclusion is" inevitable. f f , The saloon is a nuisance. Saloon keepers have made I " it so. The saloon must go. |
