Who Can Escape Retribution Retribution is not a matter of superstition or of religion. IT IS LAW. Not belonging to the church does not exempt you; no legal acquittal or pardon can exempt you.

A criminal may be acquitted by a jury and the jury may thus bring retribution upon themselves, but they cannot shield a guilty man from retribution. A man may violate law by indulging himself in alcoholic drink, but Nature strikes back with disease, remorse and degenerate offspring. Men are drawn by the lure of gold into liquor selling, to debauch and debase their friends for the moneyrthat is in it, but lie assured that retribution inflictstupon them penalties and a brand which more than offset their gain. No individual or community can do wrong and escape. You cannot aid and abet the liquor traffic and escape your share of responsibility.

This county cannot license an acknowledged evil and escape retribution. Let us not abandon good laws because they are at present poorly enforced. Plenty of Hot Weather Yet. Use Our Coupon Books They are convenient and help to keep down the ice hill. From drivers.
