WHEN Bro. Jones accuses us of
attempting to smooth over Foraker's
declaration against the Second Amend
ment, Bro. Jones does that for which
fond mother frequently smacked him
in his boyhood's days.
The Standard has always claimed
that the Second Amendment was not
political, in that it is not incorporated
in either party platform, and voting
for it will not in any way affect a
mans vote for the candidates Of either
party. If Bro. Jones will just work
for the cause Of Temperance and Right
as earnestly and as zealously as does
the Standard, he will be much happier
in the future than in the past, and his
prospects for coming into possession
of mansion in "Our Fathers House., "
will be greatly enhanced. But, as a
starter in this work of reformation,
Bro. Jones, you must quit prevarica-
tinp

THE State Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton has issued, and put in circulation
a large circular-printed in English
and German-howling for all liberal
minded people to vote for personal
liberty by voting against the second
amendment. The worry of these
Devils Agents over their personal lib
erty to destroy families. that they, the
Devils Agents may live without work. :.
is narrowing in the extreme. The
correct Interpretation Of the language
of these imps is something like this:
"If you don't give us the right to de-
stroy your life, take your money, and
starve your family, you are destroying
personal liberty" The Devils Agent
knows no one but himself, when it
comes to a matter Of benefit. He
would rob any man Of his last dollar
and pocket it without twinge of
conscience. And this is the class of
cattle that howl about personal liber-
ty! Oh, shame!

From Petrea.

To the Editors of the Standards:
Once more Petrea has added to her
accomplishments, by having one of
her periodical platform nuisances, or
dances, and to Judge from the crowd
that was on the ground, | would not
call it a success. | hope our young
men and women will invent some
other species Of amusement in the fu-
ture-something that will border on
responsibility, at least.
Our candidates are circulating
around our village in force.
Drew and Wasson have built an
extension to their already large coal
tip, and are now prepared to load coal
in box cars There are thirty miners
go from Petrea and vicinity to work
in this one mine. There was little
disturbance at the mine on the 9th,
on account of the blacksmith's dis
charge, which was adjusted by the su-
perintendent. At present every thing
is going on as usual. Plenty of work
and good humor prevails.
The water supply in this vicinity is
lower than it has been for thirty
years. Our farmers are sowing their
wheat in the dust.
One Of our oldest citizens, Eli Wi
kle, had quite surprise on the 25th.
His friends and relatives to the num-
her of 35 or 40 gathered at his house
on that day, he being II years old.
After spreading table with the good
things of this life, and partaking of
the same until every one was in per-
feet good humor with himself and
every body else, they then presented
him with a suit of clothes, and vari-
Gus other presents, to the amount of
$25 or $50. To say he was surprised
does not express it. He was perfectly
dumb bfounded. Mr.. Wikle was born
in Virginia, and came to Ohio in 1889,
consequently he has been here A
years. He has family of twelve
chi dren, all married but the youngest
two. They are all respectable citizens
and good neigbbors. Mr. Wikle has
always lived on the farm which he
bought when he settled here. He has
never been out of the county but one
time since he settled in it.

by many as a cheat, fraud, and the
Scott law is not much better. Talk
about the General Assembly regula-
ting crime, so as to provide against
evils resulting therefrom. Why not
ask the Legislature to regulate horse
stealing, counterfeiting, burglary, ar
son, &c., so as to provide against the
evils resulting therefrom2 Surely if
the greater crime can be regulated, the
lesser might be with propriety. And
what of the Scott law? Would the
S2,0OO,O 900 revenue raised by the opera
ton OF this law be needed, if there
were no crimes committed by the use
OF as traffic in Intoxicating liquors?
And where does this enormous sum
come from, that is paid into he differ
ent county treasures Of the State /?
Ask the starving wives and children
OF the drunkards of the State and they
will tell you. Another objection to
the Scott law is its inequality. None
but the wealthy saloonist can have the
benefit Of that law. If it is such a
high and glorious privilege to make
drunkards and widows, paupers and
orphans, criminals for the penitentiary
and gallows, why not the poor dog
gerry keeper who can only raise ten to
fifteen dollars, share in the benefits
arising from the hellish traffic? This
law savors strong Of class legislation.
But, says the objector, if Prohibi-
ton carries, it will prove nugatory,
for the Constitution cannot enforce
itself
Let me ask, which one of the polit-
ical parties will refuse to enact laws
for the enforcement Of this provision
if it passes?
Few if any of our Legislators will
be willing to return and face their
constituency with Perjury written all
over their foreheads. No, but the
dominant parties will vie with each
other in their efforts to introduce
measures in pursuance Of this clause
OF the Constitution if it shall pass,
and all be willing to make solemn oath
that they have always been in favor
Of prohibition, and only been waiting
a favorable opportunity to show their
hands. Give us prohibition pure and
unadulterated and I will guarantee its
enforcement.
I am pleased with your manner Of
dealing with doggery keepers of youl
place, but I fell in a few days since
with good temperance maHe of your
county who said he was afraid youl
language toward them was at times
too harsh, that you would not win
them over by the use of severe terms
Still | do not see how you are to wage
successful warfare with the Devi
with any less effective weapon than
fire
SO say, ''lay on MacDuff)ley lei
the CALLED jade vince" let the blows
fall fast and heavy. Give the Devils
their due.

WaShan.

Senator Sherman called on Washam
and Hull, Democratic candidates for
Senator and Representative to public
ly state, before that vast audience at
the Fair Grounds, whether they would,
in case Of their election, vote to repeal
the Scott Law. Mr.. Hull failed to
respond. Washam was urged by the
Senator TO define his position. Rolling
dog-leg cigar from side to side, and
presenting the appearance of spanked
Ounce at school, Tom stammered out:
"What nd you do?"
"Vote to sustain the law!" shouted
Sherman. Now, friend Washam,
let's hear from the other side"
But silly grin was all the answer
Tom would make He will not take
sides on any question until he finds
out as near as possible what the ma
jority of voters think about it. He is
moral coward, and would be a weak
and silly tool in the hands of the pol
iticians, if sent to Columbus. When
Washam goes about electioneerlng, he
tries to find out just what the people
want, and that is what he processes to
favor-save one thing. He will not
come out in favor of the Second
Amendment, which prohibits, or the
Scott Law, which taxes. But on a
question of free whisky, no Sunday,
the Devil and Tom Walker, Washam
would be solid, and the politicians at
Columbus-of his own political faith,
would drive him around like great
OK We say to the people of Jackson
County, and the District, that it is alb
solutely unsafe to elect Washam to
the Senate. He is no more fit to be
Senator than mule is to teach the
classics.

We are working for the second

On the 21st of this month we cele-

To the Editors of the Standards
Being an old resident of the county,
and always more or less interested in
its politics, am Of the opinion that
the majority for the Republican party
will be no less than for a number of
years past, and it may be larger, for |
believe the question of the amendment
to the Constitution will bring out a
larger vote than usual, and that means
a larger Republican majority. The
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
tion on the prohibition Of the liquor
traffic will have a much larger vote
than the most sanguine friends of the
measure at the first anticipated.
Many of the more intelligent Dem
ocrats of this county will vote for
prohibition in spite Of the efforts of
their political leaders to deceive them
by spouting about sumptuary laws
and the abridgment of personal liber-
ty. Onr Democratic politicians are
very busy circulating tracts on FL
nance, the Tariff, Communism, and
kindred subjects las though the aver
age Democrat will read dry homilies
on such subjectsl thinking thereby to
divert the minds of the voters from
the more important subject Of tenn
perance.
The first proposition is looked upon

DEAR FRIENDs:-Don't be out-done

to the authority of the priesthood in
this case-Apostle Lyman put his foot
down on the liquor business, and there
is not now saloon in the place. We
have practical test Of the local op-

hibition does prohibit if it is allowed
to do so. Yet, if you are beaten, |
advise you to do as Rev. A. w. Long
wrote me few weeks ago, that he has
done: Enlist for life or during the

generally temperance men. A friend
informed us that Erwin, candidate for
Auditor on the Democratic ticket, an
nounced himself in favor of wiping
out the saloons, if the State would buy
out the stock, thus saving the saloon
keepers from loss. That is about the
richest argument yet advanced. Vote

Mr.. Hull, Democratic candidate for
Representative, will vote for the sec
ond, or prohibition amendment. We
are glad of this for two reasons; one
is, we want all the votes possible for
that amendment; and we are anxious
to have no politics mixed in with this
question. Both Jones and Hull will
vote for the second proposition, while
Hoadly and Foraker will both vote
against it. Surely this is no partisan
question.
