Voice Of the People.

Editor ENTERPRISE.
Please grant me space to enter my
protest against street gamblers plying
their trade in our village. No less than
three OF this class are practicing their
arts upon the unwary, decoying money
from every one who is green enough to
imagine he can beat the game. That
game Of ball throwing, the soap and
cane venders all come under the head
mentioned above.
1t is disgrace to our mayor and to
our town, to license gambling on our
streets. As parent, l strongly protest,
and demand that our mayor be directed
never to issue another license of this
character as long as he holds his Office.
l am not alone in this opinion; other
parents agree with me.
A PARENT.

-Oberlin station has been doing an
extensive business in shipping stone since
April 18th, when the new track was opened
to the La Grange quarries. Over 500 cars
of stone have been shipped, of which 1913
had been unloaded at this station for
building and other purposes here. Some
weeks ago over a million pounds Of stone
have been shipped to different parts of the
country. The lands accessible to the rail
road have been only partially developed,
the trade is destined to increase as the
stone, which is as good as any in the State,
becomes better nown.-[Oberlin News,
When the Fair officers are trying TO
impress into service persons to fill vacan.
cies on Awarding Committees, the univer.
sal excuse is modest incapability to fill
so important place. But no sooner are
the premium cards attached to exhibits,
than very decided opinions are freely
expressed, rejecting on the judgement Of
those who did serve, not taking into ac-
count, however, the restrictions and limit
ations imposed in the premium list, or
how the article was entered, which often
determines It's fate or throws 1t into com.

Elmer Wadsworth, Saturday evening
was very seriously injured by a bull among
his hero, which, with whip and pitch. fork,
he anticipated no trouble in handling or
approaching. The animal threw him
down and trampled on him, breaking his
left leg in two places and bruising him
badly without goring him. Mr.. Wads-
worth got hold of the ring in the animals
nose and make it so uncomfortable for
him that he retreated long enough to
allow his victim in a superhuman struggle
for life to reach the fence and get to the
other side, the bull trying to attack him
again. The mans cries were at last heard
and he was taken home. He is in a crit
ical condition, though hopes Of his recov.
cry are entertained.

Monuments to soldiers.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The writer would in no manner Intentionally
utter one word to retard the patriotic movement
to erect suitable monument to the memory of
Indiana's soldiers. But why erect State monu-
mentsl Was not the cause for which these noble
men so heroically fought and so g"andly died a
national one, as broad as the republic itself! The
whole issue was one for national existence.
Now, 1 think 1 am safe in saying that at least
one-fourth of all the soldiers who served in the
Union army within the borders of the State of
Indiana to-day, are from other States, or served
in regiments belonging to other States. On
the other hand, large numbers of the men
who served in Indiana regiments during the war
are now scattered over the great West, or have
gone TO other States. The same may be
said of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
all the older States. why not erect monument
in every State to the memory of the soldiers of
the Union instead of confning the particular
monument to commemorate the deeds of the
soldiers of the State in which it is situated2 If
these monuments were erected all over the
country, not as monuments to soldiers of any
particular State, but as monuments to the
soldiers of the Union, then, truly, could the
living comrades, relatives and friends of the
dead go to these shrines, in whatever part of
the Union they may be found, and say this
monument is erected to the memory of my
father son, brother, husband. or friend.

Objections to a Third Party.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
l. Prohibition has never to my knowledge
been secured by an exclusive Prohibition party
2. The whisky power has not yet organized ii
separate, exclusive whisky party. We only
wish it would thus array its cohorts; we would
then be ready to meet them. In this they are
wiser in their generation than the children of
light. They seem to know that if party has
to be made to order the machinery comes
high, and if existing parties do not serve their
purpose they prefer to wait till one is born, and
in that interest that thing will never come to
pass With our cause it is different LII the
existing parties, either or both of them, secede
from the advanced position already taken. the
emergency of which new party will be born Is
not far in the future.
g. Our aim is to get the question of prohibl
tion before the people as soon as possible. There
is not the least hope of accomplishing this end
through a third party at present, if ever.
T. A third party movement will misrePresent
our strength 1t will weaken us before the next
Assembly the only place where, at present, our
strength can be made available,
These are some of the objections, merely out
lined, to a third party. l do not expect any con-
sideration of them by the men who have deter
mined to have a party of their own, and who
after the election-iust as they have been doing
for twenty five years-will come up and shout this
defeat is the very best thing that ever happened
to our cause. Life is too short thus to be fooled
away i'll organizing defeats to crafty the aspira
tions of would-be party leaders. Such cause
as the sincere Prohlbitionists are laborng for is
too sacred to be sacrificed upon such an altar.

BUSINESS DIFFICULTIES.

with Large Liabilities.

\ West Virginia Bank Suspends Business
with Large Liabilities.
CHARLESTON, w. Va. June 12.-The doors of
the State Bank of West Virginia, of this city,
closed this morning The liabilities are $1,000
and the assets are reported at $l15, 900. The
principal losers are poor people who had small
sums deposited Many ugly rumors are afoat
on the streets. The supposition is that the bank
will pay 80 per cent but it is doubtful if it pays
over 20 per cent This bank has been considered
weak for some time, but the citizens continued
to deposit with it. The officials of the bank re
ceived deposits yesterday up to o'clock. The
depotitors are. anXiously awaiting an investiga-
ton The State of West Virginia had IS, 600 de
posted with this bank. Excitement runs high,
and but little business has been done
here to-day. light run was made on the
Kanawha Valley Bank where the doors
opened at o'clock this morning. but as every
check was promptly paid the run ceased after
an hours time. During the run on the kanawha
Valley Bank many of the largest business men
made heavy deposits. The Kanawha Valley
Bank has over $3.50, 600 of its own in its vaults,
and is solid.
