Temperance Voices Warn of License Violations and Moral Reform
A late 19th or early 20th century correspondence column argues for sobriety and license enforcement, noting unlicensed saloons in the capital and at national institutions. It cites Frances E. Willard, the WCTU, school portraits, and public calls to boycott license parties, urging principled voting against intemperance. It also includes editorials praising abstinence, anecdotes on employment of drinkers, and a losing dog notice with a local reward.
