Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 January 1903 — COMUNICATED. [ARTICLE]

COMUNICATED.

Ed. Demochat:—Last fall the Rensselaer Republican copied from the Inter Ocean an article which it had taken from the New Voice, stating Mr. Wooley’s acknowledgement of republican victory and commandment to ‘‘close in and kill,” which following Czolgolz apparently took advise. The license policy continues as policy of democratic and republican parties, let it be high or low, kills sobriety and peace, corrupts legislation to say nothing of 80,000 (a low estimate) dying from intoxicants each year. As to Czolgolz he came from one of those licensed saloons and committed the deed, but no blood on the hands of those who voted against liquor. Gov. Durbin, knowingly or unknowingly, in connection with the above, recognizes whiskey and gun-powder as a bad mixture by recommending more stringent laws for concealed weapons."" President Roosevelt recommended to congress more stringent laws to suppress anarchy. They are both striking at the fruits, but neglect the roots. * # * All calicoes, 4c a yd, worth 5c and 6c at Laßue Bros.
