Water Valley,
Yalobusha County. Miss.
You say you can’t put the blind
tigers out? Do you tell me if the
people of Water Valley wanted
them out, they couldn’t put them
out? Such an assertion sounds
like a reflection on the citizenship.
But let us tell you something, the
people can put them out, and
when they arise in their righteous
indignation these infernal violators
of the law will have to stop.
These traps set up to ruin the
men and boys of the country.

Is the blind tiger vendor any
worse than the individual who
buys his goods?
Women Drinking.
That Anti-Saloon league lawyer
in Washington, who told the
Women’s Christian Temperance
Union that while the men folks
were drinking less and les3, the
youngwomen, and especially girls
were drinking more and more every
day, has created quite a storm of
indignation. We all knew that
the men were drinking much less
than formerly, but attributed it to
the high cost of living, and not to
the fact that the young ladies were
taking it aw-ay from them and
using it themselves. The other
day a hotel proprietor in Washing
ton was hauled into court for per
mitting a young girl under sixteen
to drink herself into a state ot
helpless intoxication in his house.
And there is, perhaps, some basis
for the charge made by the Anti
Saloon League lawyer. At all
events, if some good old grand
mother could arise from her grave
and see an up-to-date society girl
tossing off bumper after bumper
she would gladly return to the cold
embraces of her earthly couch.
