No. 23 MGVm Slate 1'rohlbHon the Cure Sprltsd and often bitter battles over the license question are now going on in ninny communities In Nebraska. The experience of Lincoln In theso campaigns has been so unpleasant that the whole city wishes to bo froo ot them In the future. Every" town whore the question comes up periodically Is Injured and weakened by the divisions that accompany this sort of strife. The conviction that the only permanent cure Is to vote the entire state dry has been growing In evory community af Jllcted by those perenlal disturbances. The knowledge that the failure of the prohibitory amendment to carry next fall will mean a resumption of tlie li cense fight In Lincoln In loss than a year will undoubtedly make hundreds of votes for prohibition in UiIb city. As the situation has developed In re cent years, thoro Is now only one way to tho pormnnont peace that must be hold on this question. Lincoln Jour nal. Farm For Rent Inquico of A. A. Schatz. H. P.
