Answer to the Wesley correspondent. There is no man under the shining sun that can run a saloou and have a good, moral character. There is many a woman's heart oroken because of the liquor trafic, that her husband may come home and beat and kick her from one room to the other. This is ail done under the influence of liquor. Therelore let the good people of Crawfordsville blot out the saloon and liquor license. Not only Crawfordsville but the surrounding towns. Liquor is good in its place, but it often gets out of its place and causes considerable trouble. Liquor has caused more trouble to the human family than any other filthy habit ever known Let the law throw it clear out of existence if it is possible.
