A Frank Expression As n citizen nnd tax payer 1 desire to express myself publicly against the granting of a public pool hall license In our ciulet little city, (or any other city for that mntter.) To do a thing of that kind would bo a step against tho best Interests of our boys nnd glrlB nnd our future citizens. It would bo a better move to establish a free public library, a gymnasium, swim, mlng pool, play ground, etc., nnd put them nil under proper control nnd regulation. Tho public pool hnll, in my opinion, Is a kindergarten, so to speak, for tho future gambler, the stepping stono to open saloons, and In mnny ways lends to evil. Who would llko to hnvo his boy in tho In fluence of tobacco smoke, profanity nnd oftltnos vulgarity and drunken ness. Who would llko his son ns socinted with nnd under the control of men whoso cxnmplo and Influence, In many Instnuccs, is opposite to what you would want; men, as a rule, who do not respect the Snbbnth, do not roverenco Deity, and do not stnnd In my Judgement for tho moral uplift of tho community in which they live. Do we want our boys In that kind of an clement? 1 say no! Absolutely no I There are better wnys of reaching tho boys nnd I sincerely hopo our good citizens will unite together nnd stump out nil such evils. I commend tiio action of our city ofllcIalB who labored In conjunction with tho coun ty officers In wiping out tho liquor ovtl, nnd hope tho good work will continue until every citizen will lenrn to obey tho law, and bo subject to tho rules and regulations of the coun ty where they reside. In speaking tho way I do It la not because I would wish auyono harm, but on tho con trary to further the Interests of all our citizens. In writing these few lines, I truly believe I am voicing the sentiments of 90 per cent of our cltl- -IToTm R0SPSC L.
