When a woman's husband gets
so infernally low that he lies
around saloons drunk all the
time, why don'c she quit the
miserable beast, get a divorce
and marry a gentlemen? In some
towns in this and other States,
the women have petitioned the
saloons to close their houses in
order to keep some old dilapidate
enness, that might stop it. but
prohibition never has, and never
will reform or keep sober these
professional sour-mash fiends.
Fines do no good, but jail 5 sent-
