1930 The Saloon in the Home

HOW ROVER CHEERED R OVER is the nicest dog I ever saw. The other night he went to a Temperance meeting with us. It was held in the Town Hall and Rover sat right down in front of me. The man who spoke said ever so many things that pleased the people and they clapped their hands to show him they liked what he said and Rover wagged his tail. He really wanted to bark but he settled down by my feet. But, by and by, the speaker said something I liked. He said if there wasn't any liquor sold we would all be bet– ter off; we'd have more money; there wouldn't be so many people killed nor so many thieves; the jails would be empty; people would have nicer and happier houses and everybody ought to work for Prohibition. Rover started right up and gave three loud barks and I didn't scold him either. Even the dogs will fare better when the liquor saloons are closed for their owners can buy more meat instead of beer.
