There is a structure which every institution builds for
itself. It is called character, and every act is a stone in
An institution, in order to have a good character, must
think honestly, act honestty, breathe honesty. The
people soon determine between the genuine and the j
counterfeit. They know the ring of the true metal
and the base. j

Wets Win At Fort Smith.
Fort Smith, Jan. 21.—County
Judge Ezra Hester ruled late
yesterday afternoon that the li
quor petitions in Fort Smith
carried a majority of the
adult white inhabitants of the
city, and granted 42 licenses for
saloons. The thirst parlors o
pened immediately.
Before he had issued the licens
es, however, Judge Hester re
fused to issue an injunction re
straining the opening of the sa
loons. As soon as the news was
announced crowds flocked to
locked saloons, some of the thirs
ty ones so joyful that they
cheered and otherwise gave
noisy demonstration to their ec
stacy.
Two places got their doors o
pen before their licenses were
formally issued, and two crowds
got rounds of drinks before the
police could eject them and or
der the doors locked. The li
censes were soon forthcoming,
and the doors were opened again
Prohibitionists of the city, it
is said, threaten to invoke the
three-mile petition act.
