Reports were going the rounds that a remonstrance was being circulated in Lincoln township against a saloon license being issued at the May term of the commissioners court to Benjamin Fogli, the only applicant for license. The remonstrance seems to be directed solely at the applicant. The law regarding the granting of saloon license reads that no new license can be granted to any new applicant until all renewals have been acted upon. Elections to decide whether intoxicating liquors shall be sold as a beverage has been ordered to be held in the two adjoining townships on the east in Jasper county, one at DeMotte and one at Wheatfield May Ist. The writer believes that the voter's ought to be allowed-’to decide this question by ballot. Then no hard feelings or after talk or boycott to any business man, farmer or laborer can be made against those who vote dry or wet, because the man who signs his name to the remonstrance is always known to the people, who do not agree with his views on the question. It has been demonstrated that some men will vote dry that will not sign a remonstrance and some will vote wet who will not sign a remonstrance, for the reason that the ballot is secret.
