Close the Saloons Thursday
Thursday is a day of national mourning, and as
we reverence and respect that day, bow our heads in mourning with heartfelt
sympathy for our departed and beloved President, I suggest closing the saloons,
for with them open we desecrate the day.

Daughter of a veteran, wife of a G. A. R. man.
