Mr.. EDIToR:-To that person who
shames his assumed name, Truth" /"
our League wishes to say through the
Journal that his attempt to slander
US falls harmless. Suchshafts only
wound the sender. We move in a
higher, nobler sphere, where the
blows of those hating can not injure.
The truth told is all we ask.
In reply, we wish to say that no
person here, who pretends to enjoy a
reputation of any kind of standing
in society, but sympathizes with the
poor, miserable wretch who pretends
to sell beer in our village. However
poor, miserable or wretched he may
be, our respect is a thousand times
greater for him than for those who
back him. If responsibility consists
in more than the word, we are re-
spectacle. The barking of dogs can
never frighten us from our purpose.
We will work on. We will win.
We are,
The LADIES LEAGUE.

June Goth, 1874.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-This place is a
little village of eight dwelling houses,
two stores, one smith shop, one wag-
on shop and one school house. We
have never had a whisky shop nearer
than three miles, and the proprietor
of the only one in the township is
now in Jail at Pomeroy.
Last Sunday the Temperance
League of Middleport made raid on
us, and the result was League form
ed in Salem with S3 members to start
on, which does pretty well consider
ing we only received notice of the
meeting the day before.
There are quite number in this
vicinity who will oppose the new
Constitution entire; considering it
as but little if any better than the old
one, and the improvement (if any
not worth first cost. Cumulative vo-
ting is humbug; railroad aid an i'm
position; and license too indefinite to
pass an opinion on.
One HOMER ATKINSON, of Gallia
county, was fined $40 and costs at
Rutland, ON Wednesday last, for
striking an old man named ASA
HODGE; whisky was the cause of it;
a rather heavy license for a few
glasses.

The Republican State Conventions
of Illinois and Indiana were held
last Wednesday. In both cases there
was much enthusiasm and great har-
mony. We note their utterances
upon the prominent questions of the
day, as showing that Republicans
are not afraid to speak boldly and
decidedly upon questions presented
to them.
The Indiana platform favors free
banking; declares the right of soci-
ETY. to protect itself against the evils
of intemperance, and of the majority
to govern in this matter as in all
others; and upon the subject of rail
road charges, declares for ''holding
those in the possession of corporate
wealth and privileges in strict con-
formity to law"
In the Illinois platform we have
declarations against retiring any part
of the 3S2 millions of legal tender
notes; in favor of the present nation
al bank system, and the free ennis
sion of notes as money to all on the
same terms, the aggregate volume of
currency to be regulated by the un-
trammeled laws Of trade; and op-
posed to interference by law with
the habits, tastes or customs of in
dividuals, except to suppress licen-
tiousness or to preserve the peace
and safety of the citizens of the
State; and accords to railway com
panies their full legal rights, but de-
mands reasonable charges and rigid
impartiality in the transportation of
passengers and freights.
These utterances show the Repub-
lican party to be living organiza-
tion, in that it accepts and meets the
live issues Of the day in plain prac-
teal way. with malice towards
none, and charity for ALL" it yet
speaks boldly and plainly its convic-
tions. Such party must live.

fINTON, w., June zZ, 1914.
EDITOR GALLIPoLIs IF the
little things of earth are worthy of no
Iice, / would call the attention of the
numerous readers of your valuable pa
per to an article which recently appear
ed as coming from our town over the
signature ''Truth." How the dissem-
bier will cloak himself with seeming
honesty; how some mems names belle
their tongues! The writer takes upon
himself the privilege of saying some
pretty hard things about us Vintonions,
and which l denOunce as false. He
says concerning the low doggery which
has been quartered upon us lately with
out our consent: "Only few fanatics
are making a fuss about it." True, we
are but few in numbers, but mighty in
spirit. What we will we do. Our IA
naticfsm (if prudence and judgment are
elements of that quality is always for
the right, and used only upon sound
discretion. These 'Efanatics" compose
nearly all the inhabitants of Vinton and
vicinity-men, women and children,
who, clad in the panoply of right, are
determined to stop the sale of beer here.
When the writer (be he topper or temp
lar) says: ''The most respectable eiti-
zens have no objection to the sale of in
toxicating liquors" !" he simply lies know
ingly. If four or five whisky and beer
guzzlers, men of no moral character,
constitute the respectable part of our
place, am grossly deceived. Our re-
spectacle citizens oppose the sale in all
shapes.
Yours truly,

THE Cincinnati Common Council
is democratic-so is the Mayor-but
there is not that harmony between
the two that should exist among
brethren of the same household. The
Mayor thinks the Council corrupt
perhaps the Council thinks the May
or corrupt, and perhaps each is cor
rect in its estimate of the other. At
all events the Mayor vetoed three of
the jobs of the Council in one day,

very good day for vetoes either"

The New Constitution.
ELECTIVE FRANCHISE.

But few changes are made IN THIS
article. In stating the qualifications
Of an elector, the word "white" is
omitted. thus making it read, "every
citizen of the United States" instead
of aevery white male citizen. The
reasons for this change are obvious
since the adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment An additional section
is inserted giving to soldiers in the
actual military service of the United
States or this State, not in the regu-
lar army, the right of suffrage at such
place and under such regulations as
may be prescribed by law. This
amendment is incidental to the events
of the late war, and its propriety nc
one will question.
EDUCATION.
The only amendment made to this
article is an additional section, max.
ing women, possessing the qualifica
tions of electors as to age, citizen
ship and residence, eligible to any
office under the school laws, except
that of State Commissioner of Com.
mon Schools. There can be no OBJ
lection to this additional section, as
women possess peculiar qualifications
for school work. -
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.
This article, in addition to the
present public institutions of the
State, provides for an asylum for the
incurable insane, and house of dis
cipline, intermediate between the re
form schools and penitentiary. Ii
also establishes the Reform SchOo
for Boys as a permanent institution
which the State shall provide for
The idiotic asylum, soldiers and sal
lor's orphan homes, and girls in
dustrial home, shall be supported
only as long as may be necessary
These are the charitable institutions
of the State, which her people are
justly proud of, and their continuance
is vital necessity. The asylum fol
the incurable insane is a wise provi
sion. They are now confined in the
county jails and poor houses, where
of necessity, they cannot receive that
humane treatment which their condi-
ton calls for.
PUBLIC DEBT AND WORKS.
A new provision of this article is
that no part of the sinking fund shall
ever be transferred to any other fund
or used for any other purpose. Nc
new debt is allowed to be contracted,
except in cases of great public emer-
gency. The article further provides
for the election of Superintendent
of the Public Works, to take the
place of the present Board of Public
Works, which consists of three mem
bers. These are all wise and pru.
dent amendments.

The Universalists to the Front.


The Universalists to the Front.
The annual State Convention of
Universalists, recently in session at
Cleveland, took decided and clear
ground on the temperance question.
These are the utterances of that
body:
Resoloed, That this Convention looks
with profound pleasure and gratitude
upon the work in behalf of temperance
done in this State during the past VIM
ter and Spring, and regards it as an evil
dence of the Lords will concerning wo-
men and the work and life He requires
at her hands.
Resol1ed, That the cause of temper
ance is the cause of religion, and that
we urge our people to a hearty union
with other Churches, and with all we'll
wishers of humanity, to promote it.
THE Cincinnati Enquirer closes its
notice of our late city election with
these significant words: eGallipolis
has been strongly Republican" Was
this, then, democratic victory in
disguise? Was this the feast to
which the colored men of the Third
Ward were invited, under the pretext
Of voting for the peoples candidate,
without regard to previous condition,
caste or colorP' The Enquirer seems
to so understand it. Perhaps it has
from the leaders here some secret in
formation, which was hid from public
view at home.
