Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 March 1908 — WHISKEY DRINKING IN RENSSELAER. [ARTICLE]

WHISKEY DRINKING IN RENSSELAER.

The Democrat is in receipt of a communication from a mother who says site is heart-broken because her boy is getting liquor here in Rensselaer, and gets drunk. She names places wnere this liquor is to be had—or • where her boy gets it —and she thinks jf the officers who are supposed to look after the morals of the town would do their duty much of this could be stopped. Thi& opinion will be generally endorsed by the public. It is noi> believed that all the booze that is being consumed here at present comes from the drug stores by a long sight, and conditions Appear to be growing worse instead of better. •’ Perhaps the dispensers will finally overreach themselves one of these days and then they will get a fall that can be heard all over th| county. The letter mentioned above may be had by the officers if they care to investigate the tips given therein.
