BECAUSE the money now spent on drink will go to business people, improve trade, and give more employment to the people. BECAUSE drinking bars are a temptation to our families, as gambling and other vices are encouraged in many of them. BECAUSE the man who votes for license ought to be willing that his son should die a drunkard. The open liquor* shop which his vote helps to maintain he knows will ensnare the feet of somebody’s boy. Why should it not be his own child ? BECAUSE a liquor shop can no more be run without using up boys than can a sawmill be run without using up logs. The only question is— BOYS P Your boy may be one. Vote for PROHIBITION, and save the Boys. BECAUSE the drink trade is one of the greatest hindrances to the spread of Christianity. BECAUSE it is a disgrace to take revenue from the vices of the people. BECAUSE the correction of crime caused by drink causes more expense tham all the revenue gob fr*om it—making u a ‘* penny wise and pound foolish ”
