New Order Of Thingr.
We are passing out of the days
f local option into those of pro
hibition. The people by their
votes have declared that hence
forth there filust be no intoxicat
ing liquors sold or given away
except undef the strictest regu
lation of the law. By law there
will be no saloon , where anyone
may enter; Order a drink and
pass out of stay1 by a pleasant
fire and congenial company and
while away a stormy day. The
laborer or the wayfarer or the
busy man of affairs, who has
been accuetortieit td this condi
tion will, in all probability find
his accustomed rendevctis coid

- Here is an opportunity for the
moralist to deliver himself of a
fine line of moral logic. The
greatest trouble with the moral

found themselves confronting i
Similar proposition. It might be
that the old hbme for which they
have held a deep feeling, has
suddenly been taken aftay from
them by fire; tornado or some
other1' disaster, and they have
found themselves i'afeiiig a cold
and unfeeling world. Those who
have expeiienced such a sensa
tion may well consider that after
the first of the year what to a
good many persons has been i
home will be there no rcoie.
Other places df recreation must
be found. What will they be

of the people have' homes to go to;
but there is a certain class we
might call homeless, but who are
