Show LETS FIGHT THE ENEMY fr from all 11 nob indications turne it at w would old see seem to the emaril observer th that at the word had been sent broad cast to the world that carowan parowan is a good per ty open pen town and chatan that an invitation ard been extended to the blackleg the bootlegger boot legeer the boozer to come and have a good time and participate in the revelry the town

people between the sidewalks our places of amusement will be at your lop loposay osal and you have a special it standing anding invitation to attend the dances given at our ward opera house where boozing is not prohibited and shu shut if sleeve dancing is in order we will see to it that you meet our fair daughters and slaters sisters and have the privilege of whirling them around with your celing their waists to the gratify ing of your lusts until the wee hours of the morning and all we ask in return is the paltry sum of 50 cents to pay for the dance and there is no danger of your moral standing being brought into ques tour tion 1 have drawn the abobo above picture from observation and it may be over drawn but I 1 am convinced that the condition with which we are confronted la is a serious one and whether it has been brought about by invitation or lack of preparedness I 1 am willing that some one else should be the judge but the fact remains the enemy of good morals and citizenship has broken through our lines and that we are to some extent at his mercy and must make a special effort to regain the lost ground the remedy for some of thew these evils can be found at the polls next november and every voter who is in favor of state wide probation should see to it that he lays the foundation that this condition may be brought about by attending the primaries of the political parties and there register his or her vote for delegates to attend the county con can mentions vent ions who is pledged tor for state stale wide probation and will work and use their influence for the election of delegates to abend the state convention who will wall use their I 1 influence and vote from start to finish for the insertion of a plank in their respective platforms favoring the enactment into law by the next legislature of a clean cut borms torms taken tale state wide prohibition mesa meas ure ire not only prohibiting the saloon lut but wiping out of existence the drug store clause wherein the doctors and druggists of this thia state are in trusted with and have full con can trot under the law of the liquor t traffic effic in an supposed dry and choin who in case of the pria ge of f a ate wide prohibition law with the drug store clause inserted inbert ed would 1 have their business attended and become the sent boul dispensers the druit drug store clause was the we weak k link in tire the went wootan prohibition bill which was passed at the list last wion session of our legislature legia lature which in my evin epim na n would have fallen far short of the file cala JILt fur for which it was designed desi ened if it had ris re elined the approval of the governor and have become a law we are all human and subject to temptation and here seems seema to he be a nid mad rush for gold and silver goods and chattels of this world and in many cases the desire for these things outweighs our estimate of the worth of human lives or human souls can the doctors and druggists of this state be entrusted entreated with the handling and dispensing of liquor to the sick and afflicted or lor for mechanical purposes anymore my more than can any other class of men or otherwise 7 I 1 answer that it is unsafe to vest so much authority in 1 I any uy c class I 1 a ss of individuals regardless of their profession whether they be doctors druggists lawyers preachers he or what not the claim am is made that the inton eating beverage is indispensable for i medical and mechanical purposes if this be true then what would be the objection to establishing public dispensaries dispensa ries to be entirely under tinder the supervision of raffi officers ceara of the is law said officers to be paid for their services in the same manner that tha other officers ceric are paid for service rendered jbv not include this busi our governmental affairs if it is a necessity and to the people thus taking sway away the temptation from the individual to make merchandise of the souls of men by violating their honor and betraying the trust placed in them some business men are opposed to prohibition on the grounds that it at would materially injure business in athe the state and amnesia the development thereof and are using their money power and influence to defeet defeat the wilt will of the people and to continue the deplorable condition in the liquor traffic which now exists and I 1 oppose that they are a honest in their convictions and believe that business would be smashed if state wide ads prohibition law should be passed p statistics from prohibition states staled do not justify the arguments put forth by the supposed business interests but am exactly to the contrary showing a revival in business bui inea with the exception of liquor traffic and I 1 am fully convinced convince il that their prophecies will fall tu to the ground ta unfilled n when we are given state wide prohibition by bi the next legislature and even if I 1 were convinced that their argo argument ment were well founded and that the their prophecies would wool conic come to pass pas I 1 bould ld say SAV let the crash come 1 in it henry
