Facts From Dry Towns
Conditions oth commercial acd
moral far better without saloons
The Joliowing testimonials have been
gathered since February 20 1909 from
towDS in Nebraska which have in the
la9t low j ears outlawed the saloon
The testimony of these business men
would be accepted in auy court in the
land
ALBION
The city of Aloion voted out tiie sa
loons Inst spring after two years of
license by a very gratifying niHJority
With our very good fortune in fine
crops goad prices and general prosper
ity vi have had a great satisfaction
in knowing that we havo turned it all
into tho channels of trade Everybody
has received an added benefit from the
fact that we did not have to support
two saloons We ail feel that with
County Option we can drive them out
completely as we have but one wet town
in the county Respectfully
D V Blatter
Cashier Albion National Bank
I ara satisfied that business of ail
kinds except the business of the police
court has been better than ever before
I havo talked with business men and
have not found one who has stated that
his trade has been less than last year
3nd certainly collections are better
In fnct butchers have gone to a cash
basis and assure me that trade is better
than Inst year Our town has tiDJoyed
a j ear with scarcely a drunk on our
streets and then only those who go to
other towns and return in that condi
tion We have lost some undesirable
citizens but their places have been
taken by others who appreciate our ad
vantages No empty houses iu town
More value in buildings than the pre
vious par We have been without sa
loons one year only Had them two
years before since the town way dry
We trust thnt the merchants of the
town will not allow ihe cash that right
fully belongs to legitimate trade to be
taken from them oy the snloorj again
soon The president of the Liquor
Dealers Association lives in our town
or we Avould have no difficulty in keep-
in such undesirable places out of our
town entirely Respoctfuily

been advanced from an eleven year to
a twelve ypar school salaries of teachers
havo been advanced permanent im
provements have been made and a fine
working balance is now on hand besides
uncollected land t txes the rate of levy
having been no higher than during
license years J R Foree
Secretary of Boarl of Education
My experience as city attorney and
county attorney forces me to the con
clusion that no community can safely
tolerate the saloon It is a vile dirty
busiaess hateful and injurious to all
that is decent and right Yours
O M Need ham County Attorney
DAVID CITY
To any or all whom it may concern
We are pain our teachers better
wages than we have ever paid before
have renewed the insurance on ali our
school buildings and will have plenty
of money to run us throughout the
school year I think we will prove
quite conclusively that our schools can
be ruu without any help from the
saloon Yours Respectfully
Mrs Aria S Zentz
Secretary Uoard of Education
We cannot see that business has Len
retarded auy by tho closing of the sa
iouns Although a good many of the
leading liquor men have done all in
their power to black ball us Our col
lections are better we havo a better
town to live and do business in and our
ladies have no fear in passing any street
in our town Troy C Eller

ACISUKX
Auburn is without an empty store
building- Nearly every business man
favors a continuance of the nolicense
policy having made more cash sales
and had better collections The police
man says there Jess to do no teams
hitched to racks till eleven oclock and
not a woman with a babe in her arms
awaiting her husband until the saloons
close and a policeman compels him to
start homo as was the condition a year
ago
