When the. saloons went out of

hotna under the prohibition clause
of the constitution, one Guthrie
saloon flaunted lone streamers of
crape on its doors. In its big plate-
glass windows on the last night
that it was open, a big barrel, heav

empty glass beneath its open faucet.

There are two reasons which

This was an unusual motto one
symbolizing the destruction of its
business. Though the saloon
keeper did not mean it to do so, it
inevitably suggested the usual and
fitting saloon motto to be just the
opposite, like this: "Everything
coming in and nothing going out.' '
The truth of this second motto will
be apparent to anyone who has ever
watched a saloon entrance. Money
goes into the saloon in quantities,
day after day strength and respect

promise and hope go in but no one

Another reason that every man
who is looking for a square deal, in
these strenuous times in the fitnni'

Manning, is the position he took in
the late financial disturbance, and
the active part he took in the settle

which failed in Portland, whereby
the depositors will eventually re
ceive every dollar they placed in
these banks. Largely was this the
result of Mr. Manning s efforts,

the mother who bore him, who has
the slightest regard for the rights
of his fellow man, who loves the
home that shelters him, who cher-
slies a love for his native laud,
who desires the pcrictuity of his
kindred will such a man vote to
perpetuate this monster evil in St.
Johns? No, we do not believe
such men will vote for saloons in
St. Johns. They will not prosti
tute the power the constitution of
the United States gives them to
such a base purpose.
1 he claim is made that if we
vote the soloons out they will go
just outside the city limits and we
will have all the evil without the
revenue. Vote them out and see.
It is up to the people whether we
have the evils if we put the evil
out. The evil doers will soon tire
of the consequences If the citizens
enforce the laws. Put the curse
from among you. Such action has
never met with disaster.

its solution matters of most vital

therefore that every voter will read

I'lctcher tells us iwrsonally that he
wrote the article for the Portland

first article for the Review; but
that it was held up several days
before it was published, which mad
it look as if he had repeated his
first assertions after we had refuted
them. Wc are glad of this and
it gives us a much better opinion
of his integrity.
