This is a matter of which we sh04111 not loose sight. For six or seveu yem , we have had no licell c saloons and the' city has grown and prospered as never be- fore. Our schools are getting ulonl { nicely without the use of blood moncy. 'l'he city finances show il bettcr state of affairs than ever bl.fore and drunleness on our streets is a rare occurrence. From no vi w that the question I . of saloons are considered can it be successfully urged that there is any reason why Brok'n Bow should ever again have licensed saloons. . It is true that the sale of intoxicants - icants is not absolutely prohibited - ed , as there is some shipped in and drank and we are'of the opinion - inion that boot lcginff has never 'been entirely prohib1ted , hut it ! I . has been reduced to the mimmum. I The object of this article is to warn the public not to be over confident , It docs not seem possible - sible that any very great number of votes could be secured in Brolc- I en Bow for saloons , but the temp. erance element should not rely on outward appearances. . - - - - - Unlltn Temperance lortinK 'l'here will be a Union Temperance - ance meeting at the M.

No one should rest secure - cure upon the thought that this election is sure to be a victory for the temperance forces , and fail to do his part to bring about thii ! ! result. 1'he meeting Sunday evening will be an interesting one and one that will be helpful to the cause.
