It cites Dr. Arthur McDonald and G. Bunge, linking abstinence to soldier endurance, sailor discipline, and moral decline from drunkenness, urging public action to curb the liquor trade.

Edwards County Antisaloon Stance Through Thirty Years
The county has largely opposed saloons for thirty years except one year, with only one saloon in the county during that exception. Since 1896 convictions average one and five eighths per year in circuit court, six men have gone to the penitentiary since 1895, three of whom were county residents. Most criminals and dependent poor originate from the county border, where liquor is accessible from neighboring towns. Edwards county circuit court meets twice yearly, about three days per term. County and city taxes are lower than neighboring areas.
