The saloon has been tiied in 45 of
tbe 83 counties of Michigan, acd bas
been condemned. Michigan, nominally a '•' wet'' state, is over 50 per
cent "dry" as to counties.
In all these counties the saloon was
tried be'ore the jury of the people-,
and   tbe   verdict    was    "Guilty    as
charged."
What was the charge brought i
against tbe salooa iu thuse   counties'.' j
That the goods in which it dealt]
served no legitimate   purpose in  life. !
That it possessed an ominous pow- j
er to extract money from men wbo j
ongbt to have spent it in more useful
channels.
That it caused more community
expense, in police, in courts, in jails,
in orphanages, in asylums, in cost
of feeding the poor than all the taxes
it  paid  could   cover:   that

That   it   made   poorer   use    of    a

That it was arrogant in the extreme
and demanded that the wrecks it

Tbat its interpretation of personal
liberty was the liberty of a man to go

Tbat its attitude toward all public up- J

ceaseless flow of liquor.
That it  had   less   money   invested,

what Home Rule did fcr Indiana and

the whiskey power is the dominating
power.      However   he   believes   that

J. A. Allen of Clare and N. D. Gover
also took part in the   discussion   and
gave us some very good thoughts and
urged that we get busy and do all we
can honorably to bring prohibition to
Michigan.    A straw  vote   was   taken
by the members present for or against
the Home Rule   amendment.     There
were 49 votes cast against the amendment and not one in favor of it.

Tbe  question   is   and   always    has

on the question of the saloon.
It is possible that Michigan may go
