The Scott Law.

On Tuesday Of last week the Su-
preme Court of Ohio decided the Scott
Law to be constitutional. Three of
the Judges concurred. Judge Okey
dissented. Judge johnson had been
at home, with his sick son, and did
not hear the arguments. He was
present when the decision was render
ed, but he took no part. AS he dis
sented a year ago, and held the Pond
law to be constitutional, he no doubt
would have concurred with the ma
jority, hnd he taken part in the case.
We published the law this week.
The readers of the Standard know
that we think this bad law. The
tax is license. To prove this, we give
the opinion of those who are ardent
friends of the law. Some time ago
the Cincinnati Commercial said:
The Scott Law, while it taxes the traffic, also legal
izes it, and this is condition concession that
liquor dealers should not lightly reject.
The same paper also said:
But the Scott Law is simply tax for revenue only
1t has temperance restriction. And 1t repealed an
cid statute, enacted by Democratic Legislature,
hibting the sale of spirits to be drunk the prem
ises.
The Columbus Dispatch is warm
friend of the law, and on last Tues
day it said:
Liquor men really lose nothing by the Scott law.
They gain legal recognition to the extent that there
is no law to prohibit them from selling the prem
ses and this they pay $Oo $780, according to the
nature of the traffic. From the standpoint of The Dis
patch it that liquor men are in better shape
than heretofore.
That is, the law says to the liquor
seller, ''you pay 5000, and you are au-
thorized-licensed, to destroy all the
boys and men you can"
The 9th section permits any NUM-
cipal corphration to permit the sale of
liquor on Sunday, and the pretended
permission to suppress tippling hous-
es, miserable sham.
We are willing to give even the dew
il his due, and must say that the 10th
section is a good one. 1t sends the
liquor sellor to jail for selling to min
ors or drunkards.
Read the entire law, and see if it is
not intended to strengthen the liquor
traffic, and increase drunkenness.

"LEr us regulate it, and provide a.
gainst the evils resulting from it"
said an old friend, speaking of the
liquor traffic, on last Thursday. Now,
let us apply this same argument in an
other direction. Our old friend dis
covers rattlesnake in his door-yard-
what does he do? Why, he just nails
up his door, carefully, stops up every
crevice about the house, and thus
regulates" his house, and provides
against the evils resulting from the
snake. 1t never occurs to him that
he could just Kill the snake, and there
would be no evils resulting from it.
Is not a rattlesnake as harmless as a
doggery?

Let everybody be on hand
tomorrow, Wednesday, at 9
O'Clock, for the great Temper
ance Meeting.
Judge and Senator.

The Waverly Wdtchman last week
had an article about the candidates
for Judge and State Senator, on the
Republican ticket, and claimed that If
either Roy or Patterson should be the
nominee, that it would prevent the
nomination of Judge Trip for re-elec-
ton, and it speaks very highly OF
Judge Trip.
Now we look upon this matter in
this way: Ohio is able to furnish the
Presidents of the United States, as
we'll as many other officers; jackson
County is competent to furnish first
class men for both Judge and Sena-
tor. We do not know why such Off
ces should be spread over the districts;
yet the Republicans of Jackson Coun-
ty want to act fairly.
We have not seen Mr.. Patterson,
but Mr.. Roy informs us that if his
candidacy will interfere in any way
with the candidacy of Judge Trip, he
will not be in the way. We sought
an interview with Judge Trip, and
he says the matter is in the hands of
the delegates, and the Senatorial con-
vention will be held before the Judi
cial convention, and he will be salts
fled with the action Of the two con-
ventions.
We will only add this: The people
have had enough Of drunken Judges,
and they so fully appreciate sober,
competent, Industrious, impartial
Judge, that they demand that Judge
Tripp be elected for another term.

The Commercial Gazette says 1.-The
people of Ohio at large have taken
leave of the extremists those favoring
prohibition on this question" That
is Just about as much sense as the
apologist and defender of the dog
gery-keepers ever displays. If we as
Foraker's friends continually thrust
the Scott Law into the peoples faces,
as the real Republican platform, we
will learn to our sorrow what party
the people have cut loose from.

One Idea.

j. w. LOngbon'S exposition Of the first
ton, wherein he says, in substance, of the
first, that it would repeal the present
anti-license clause of the constitution,
and would render license possible, and
prohibition impossible, and of the second
that it is fair and square prohibition
proposition, all candid temperance men, l
think, will admit to be true. / only wish
to supplement the above by pointing out
the inconsistency of voting for both pro-
positions. The first substitute is as fol-
lows:
"The general assembly shall regulate
the traffic in Intoxicating liquors so as to
provide against evils resulting therefrom !;
and it's power to levy taxes or assess
ments thereon is not limited by any pro-
vision of this constitution"
And the second substitute is as fol-
lows:
"The manufacture of and the traffic in
Intoxicating liquors to be used as bev-
erage are forever prohibited; and the
general assembly shall provide by law for
the enforcement of this provision"
You will observe that the first amend
ment deals with the traffic as a legitimate
business, and seeks to provide against the
evils resulting therefrom, by regulation.
What do.we understand by regulation?

1ati11g the tention of the thread of her
What does the Gentleman I'M
derstand by the index of his watch,
which controls the length of the balance

of the balance? What does the Engineer

are for the purpose of reglI-
latiiig the power, and not to prohibit or
stop it entirely? use these common

We occasionally hear smart
"Constooshnel" lawyer going about
arguing that "a tax is not a license.
Let us see how that is. 1t is a fixed
principle of law that in every trans
action there must be consideration,
or exchange Of values. The State
cannot compel saloon keeper to pay
something for nothing, any more
than one individual can so compel an
other. You buy Railway ticket at
the station, and the Company say to
you "this is license, or tax, to ride
ON any regular train on our road for
a stated number Of miles. As long as
you comply with our prescribed rules,
we will protect you in enjoying the
full benefits of this license" The
Company does not say, ''if you at
tempt to go upon that train you must
pay us three cents per mile for the
distance you wish to travel-but this
does not protect you in your right to
ride upon our trains, and the conduct
or may knock you in the head, and
throw you over the first bridge he
comes to--if you ride, you pay us; but
if you pay us you cannot ride under
our care and protection"
The fact of the whole matter is.
that every intelligent man in Ohio
knows that license, or tax, implies
protection. And the political dema-
gague who attemps to argue other
wise, might employ his time to a
great deal better advantage.

THE question has been raised by
some politicians as to whether we
would not have Republican Govern
or, even if Hoadly should be elected.
Really, it does seem strange that our
Democratic friends will systematical-
ly put down every old line Democrat
who comes before Democratic Con-
vention, and nominate some renegade
Republican in his stead. Is it be-
cause they feel that the Republican
has the best political record? Is it be-
cause they realize that the Republi-
can has always been right, and they
have always been wrong. Is it not
about time all sensible men should
quit voting with a party which re-
CARDS its own record as so bad that it
goes outside Of it's own ranks for a
candidate?

The original Buckeye method of gearing is unap-
preached in simplicity and sound mechanical prnci
pies. Only four cogwheels are used, which are all
carried high up from the ground, while the driving
wheels like the wheels of a cart entirely clear
from all cOg-gearing. The first or slow motion is
obtained by bevel gears and the quick motion by spur
mechanics that spur gearing is best adapted for high
speeds running more smoothly and truly, the Buck
eye has great advantage in this respect all
