THE GREAT MAJORITY BENEFITED.

By Iowa State Register

SUPPOSING a man can get a glass of whisky in Des Moines, if he works like a burglar to get it, what of it? For every man who knows where to get it, there are 5,000 young men who don't know. For every man who sneaks like a thief through some blind alley or into some barn to get a drink, there are 5,000 who walk the street like honest men and are never tempted by the sight of an open saloon. For every man who drops a dime or a dollar in a hole-in-the-wall, there are 5,000 workingmen whose weekly wages now go to buy food and clothing and the comforts of life for their families, and not a cent into the tills of saloon keepers.—Iowa State Register.
