OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY.
DEAR FREEMAN
When left home in September
l felt assured that the Legislature
would be completely flooded
with petitions this winter, Since
then have heard some awful tales
and confidence at times has been
shaken. But it's to be hoped that
true men, whether they approve
of the third National PARTY or not,
will set their seal, now and forever
for the good of our state. l don't
like St. John. l don't approve of
the action of the National Prohib-
itory Party; but | do want pro
hibition for our state and all other
states of the Union. Iowa stands
decidedly for prohibition but shows
only a meager support for the
third party. So it is with Maine
and Kansas. So with West Vir-
ginia. If the Legislature will only
permit, we will have the next fight
for State Prohibition at our own
doors. In my boyish opinion it will
be hard fight, for the liquor power
is emboldened by its resources and
forces, ready to oppose every effort
from whatever quarter. But Pro-
hibition is destined to move on
and on. Contest after contest
must be waged. And where
in all the world is there better
place to make the next strike
than in our own mountain state,
where the people are so abu ndant-
ly blessed with pure air and crys-
tai waters? M. ID. NUTTER.

"a Little Child Shall Lead
Them."

The statutes of New York now
require instruction in its public
schools concerning alcohol and it's
effects upon the human body. In
some schools this instruction is
given effectively by teachers who
have a real interest in the sub
ject. That great good is thus be-
ing accomplished there is no room
for doubt
A well-to-do wife and mother,
who presides over beautiful home
wherein are several lovely chill
dren, said to friend recently:
1--WE have made a change in our
household. We have always been
accustomed to have wines and 9TH
er liquors upon our sideboard, and
we have not thought it wrong.
Our little Bessie, who attends the
public school, came home awhile
ago greatly interested, and said
her teacher had been telling them
about alcohol and how much suf-
fering comes from using it, and
how much better it is to let it
alone. "And. mamma" she said,
81 felt SO ashamed when | thought
that we have it here on our own
sideboard, and that Papa takes it
at his dinner and sometimes gives
it to his friends who CALI
The lady added that Bessie had
been so exercised about it, and had
pleaded with them SO earnestly,
that they had decided to make the
change and have no more liquors
in the house.-National Temperance
Advocate.

The Practical Proposition.

DEAR FREEMAN:

ten subscriptions in the time spec
fled.
wish to say further that 1 be-
lieve as suggested by Common
Sense" that our effort to do our
work in any of the existing politi-
cal parties is putting new wine
in old bottles"
There is no indication that the
majority party in this State will
champion our cause, and the min
ority party said by its action last
summer that it preferred the saloon
vote to the Temperance influence.
1t is plainly to be seen and under
stood that any espousal of Prohibi-
ton by either party.will be mere
matter of policy and not principle,
and I am opposed to any alliance
with any party that will not es-
pouse our cause from principle and
stand by it through adversely, if
need be, until the righteousness of
the cause shall bring success.
"What next?" A complete and
thorough organization of Prohi-
bition party. Let US go out from
the old parties to return no more.

navigating the Air,

But if oug flag IS not on the ocean,
there is no reason why it should not
be seen in mid air before many years
are over. Ellison, the famous invent
or, thinks that electricity will be the
motiYe in aerial nagivation The de-
sidaratum is to secure five times more
power per pound of weight than we
now set from the best forms Of small
engines. The problem to be solved
lis to evolve the power from coal direct
without the intervention Of the boil
er Of the engine. Electricity IS now
generated from zinc and other mcteIs
without the Intervention of any engine.
If the same could be done with coal
or carbon, six horse power could be
got from one pound of coal. With
the boiler and engine, only one-horse
power is procured from three pounds
coal, Zine is as combustible in a
battery or jar Is cCal is in a furnace
but coal develops seven times as much
power as zine, and zinc costs thirty
five times rs much as coal, differ
enco IN cost per pound of 245 to one,
or 2 300 per cent. Mr.. Edison says
that thousands Of ingenious men are
now at work on this problem, which
he thinks will soon be solved. In a
recent interview with q newspaper
an he SAID Having lightness with
power, we should only need enough
balloon for actual lifting power, and
sc would attain a very high velocity.
You could hold a Uon-horsc power
motor out in your hand, and once in
the air, with ave pounds Of coal, could
the consumption be direct, the little
jigger could so anywhere. Nobody
would want to ascend the great heights
where the airs resistance to the
propeller would decrease, but skim
along over The trees and houses like
= bird above the water. The rud-
ders could all be worked, aa your
ballasglrss balloon could be raised or
lowered, turned to the right or left,
by tie motor Itself, and Il boy could
do AL the work. Such an arrange
meat could scarcely 10 for heavy
freight, but il could carry passengers

The Railroads In the Convention.

d AAN AAekAAA WatAN A4A ttAN AuMA E4AAbns
The Nashville American puts this
construction upon the action Of the
convention upon the railroad question:
The feature Of the Democratic
platform adopted by the convention
in reference to railroads is 50
consol vative, and such mo1i-
licatic2 Of what the Legislature
undertook to do at the last
session. it shall be regarded as
instructions for Democratic members
of the Legislature that il Is quite a
relief to the minds Of the people who
had feared the evil effects Of a com
munistic spirit which had been crop
ping ont towards the railroads for
several wears.
Against the advice Of many sound
lawyers, the last Legislature passed
a bill thRt undertook to impose sever
al penalties on railroads through the
instrumenta'ily.o of a commission for
receiving for transportation "morc
than just and reasonable compensa
ton for the services leaving the
question Of what was just and reason
able compensation to be determined
by jury. This meant the regulation
of fare and frcights by the commission
without regard to charter, and the
commission created made schedule of
rates Of the roads, which the courts
decided could not be doLe, and de
clared the law unconstitutional. How
much the commission Is going 70 cost
the State while the law is beng test
ed in the Supreme Court Of the United
States nobody can tell.
But now the party in convention
abandons the idea If controlling the
railroads and fixing the rates, and
proposes a commission to regulate the
roads only rs to cXtortion and unjust
discrimination, as follows:
1. That we favor The regulation Of
railroads in this state by a commission
for that purpose, 50 as 10 protect the
roads in all their rights and the peo-
pie from eXtOrtion and from unjust
and unfair discrimination.
This is all that is said. Extol ton
ard unjust discrimination can be pre-
vented by the courts. A commission,
however, for these purposes can do
no harm. The only question Of mo-
ment is one Of expense to the State.
Many people who attended the
convention, after reading rabid rcws-
papers how the party was going to
throttle the monsters-our railroads
were surprised to find the conven-
ton going along aud behaving Just as
peaceably towards the railroads as TO
other interests. 1t was indeed graft
flying to all right-thinking men that
there was not an unkind word spoken,
or line written, in all the proceedings,
towards the railroads. The conven-
ton, Notwithstanding all that has
been said by certain rabid newspapers,
evidently meant not to heed the
communistic spnit which these papers
would Ike to- far into a mob, bat the
entire body of delegates went through
the entire worl, without indicating
tho slightest purpose to unlawfuIIy
interfere with this class Of property.
This is q most hopeful sign, end in
deed, il is manifest that the folly Of
this attack on property has had its
effect, and the convention meant to
rebu1e if"
