This year we have a complete line of the famovis Flying Dutchman Implements I A line of implements that when a man buys a machine with the Flying Dutchman label on it he knows that he is buying a machine that is fully guaranteedand that Biglln can always furnish the repairs for the machine. The new, up to gate spring patterns in the Heney and Staver lines of buggies; the Mandt and .Weber wagons, two makes that have stood the most severe tests and have always given absolute and entire satisfaction. T5he Great Western Spreader has been sold by us for years and the many satisfied customers is proof enough that it is the best spread er on the market today. . Z"1. Biglin. | THE LOCAL IV. G. T. U. | BY SIRS. C. E BURCII Nothing has occurred in a long time which has given us such rejoicing and encouragment as the passing of the Webb bill through Congress over Presidents Taft’s veto by an over whelming majority. This is the second time in fifteen years that any bill has b( come a law over a president’s veto. And to think of a radical temperance measure accomplishing this extraordinary feat is encouraging indeed. The Webu Law goes into effect July 1st. and forbids the shipment of liquor into any state, country or municipality whose laws or local ordinances forbid its sale. While this law, like any other is not self enforcing, it is power ful weapon in the hands of friends of law and order, and will make local and state prohibitory laws much easier of enforcemen.t We were pleased to see so many of our W. C T. .U members and other temperance people, both ladies and gentlemen, taking an interest in the hearing of the county board on the application of Mr. Cuddy of Emmet for a saloon license. The temperance voters all over the county should notice and remember the members of the county board who voted to refuse the license. The saloon interests will remember them; it is only fair that the anti saloon interests should remember them also and in the substantial way expressed at the ballot box. The saloon interests have money at stake, and they will forget whether these men are republicans or democrats or progressives or socialists, but they will remember that they refused a saloon keeper a renewal of license. Let every temperance voter, eyery man who places law and order and sobriety and decency above the interests of a detrimental business remember them too and in the same effective way that the saloon interests remember them. Let us remember that we have more at stake than the saloon interests have; not our money so much; notour business interests so much,though our business interests are effected by the saloon; but the morals of our boys and girls, our grown sons and daughters and our brother’s and sister’s. Or have we nothing to fear in regard to any of our young folks? Are our sons so well raised they will not drink nor be influenced by the saloon element? Are our daughters immune from the blandishments of respectable young men who are only moderately addicted | Have Him Diagnose Vour Case I Dr. E. J. PORTER A highly successful Specialist in Chronic Diseases BOTH MEDICAL AND SURGICAL will, by special request, be In O’NEILL, NEB. AT HOTEL EVANS Thursday, Apr. 17 where all afflicted people In the com munity may consult the noted special* ■ 1st free of charge. Dr. Porter Is a j graduate of Rush Medical College of Chicago, class of 1878. His post graduate instruction together with thirty-three years of successful pract ice and hard study makes him one of the foremost consulting specialists of today. Offices: 738-740 State Bank Bldg., Omaha to the use of Intoxicants but who may sometime go beyond the moderate stage? Are you sure we have no reason to fear for any of our own folks? We have at stake the morals of our neighbor. We have at stake the standard of morals of the community, the higher ideals of virtue and sobriety and industry which a saloonless town tend to cultivate. We have much more at stake than the business in terests of one man who has a perfeot right to go into some other business. Will it crowd the business of the other man with whom he comes into competition? If you will take simply the money he has been taking for drink from the same customers—fro: how could it? He will do very well thank you, very well indeed. Do a good business and make a good living in any other line without pauperizing his customers. They will become more efficient, not less; increase their purchasing power as they increase their eemlng capacity, the whole community reaping the benefit to some extent. “The blessing of the Lord maketh rich and He addeth no sorrow with it.” What do you think of the offer of the saloon interests of Emmet to pro vide a jail and extra officers in the town to help in maintaining order if a saloon license should be granted? Rather ah admission is it not that the jail and officers would be more necessary with a saloon than without it? But let the remonstrators remember that the fight is just begun. They should organize and conduct an active and continuous campaign against illegal selling. _ 11EMONSTBATOItS FLEACED Emmet, Neb., March 24.—Editor The Frontier: The remonstrators against issuance of a saloon license in Emmet wish to use your paper as a medium through which to express their thanks for the courtesies extend ed to us during the hearing of the case. Kind words and wishes were given us by many different people, while the local W. C. T. U. were represented in the court room during the whole time. We sincerely appreciate these kindnesses. As to the board of commissioners, a more courteous body of men could not be found anywhere. We firmly believe they weighed the evidence and decid ed the case with utmost fairness to all. Some talk has been made about spite work. We believe, with the exception of two or three there has been no personal feeling other than that natural to parents and | relatives over the debauchery of those near and dear to them and surely that could not be termed spite-work. There are always in all communities a few bullies and rowdies who resort to fisti cuffs and try to make a personal matter out of a civic one, this we re gret of course and hope tba£ with the absence of liquor these few will regain their dignity and composure and help Emmet to deserve and regain the good name which the better class of her citizens desire for her. Mrs. D. H. Allen Chronic Stomach Tronble Cured There is nothing more discouraging than a chronic d isorder of the stomach, [t is not surprising that many suffer For years with such an ailment when i permanent cure is within their reaoh and may be had for a trifle?
