REAT TILE IOR-

1t is announced by men not unfriendly
to the Council ticket nominated by the So
called Democrats last Saturday night
that the election of that ticket will mean
a lock up and town house luxuries for St
Clairsville.
Such undertakings at this time would
be the height of stupidity and folly. If
we had good streets and other needed i'm
provements made and paid for, town
and township house would be desirable
thing to have. There is no occasion for
lookup, and little probability that there
ever will be. To burden the people with
debt for such a purpose would be little
short of criminal.
| This town can not afford to indulge in
anything it does not need. If men who
desire the town to prosper do not interest
themselves enough in their own welfare
to strangle jobs like this, it is useless fol
any one to further concern himself about
promoting its prosperity
The safe thing to do, men of st. Clairs
vile, is to defeat that ticket. This lock
up job will not stand investigation, and
the candidate for Clerk associated will
the Council candidates has shown himself
unworthy of public confidence.
TEACHERS examination was held a.
Belmont last Saturday. Fifty-six appli
] cants for certificates.

A CHAPTER OF A FARCE.

| For nearly two years st. Clairsville has
experienced the working of sO-called pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic, and it is not
out of place TO take an account of stock,
as it were in other words to consider its
results. That the people are doing, and
the verdict is by means favorable to CO.
ercive legislation, as experienced here
The experience with the so-called Club
Room, opened by Newark man several
months ago, and still in successful opera
tion, furnishes a striking illustration of
the evasions and cheats that may be prac-
ticed upon such enactments. There ap-
pears to be little doubt in the minds of
men that it is saloon, pure and simple,
and the masses of men seem to care very
little how thinly its real character may be
disguised; yet it has been established in
the very heart of the town, and carried on
for months. 1t may run all night, because
officers have no authority to close Club
Room at any specified hour of the night,
any more than hotel or restaurant So
with the frauds and cheats that the pre-
scription feature may make possible.
Before that place was opened, it can
not be said a liquor famine prevailed
Apparently at no time since the ordi-
nance excluding saloons went into opera
tion have men who desired liquor expe-
rienced any difficulty in procuring it
They have none to-day. The consump-
ton of intoxicants now, however, is con-
fined almost wholly to whisky. 1t is more
portable than beer, and smaller quanti-
ties answer the purpose.
This is the way the matter has worked
in this town.
We are not prepared to say the ordi
nance should be repealed; but certainly
no good can be expected if the future is
to be predicted from the past. Reason
able men realize this. If the ordinance
stands, it should be respected. If public
sentiment is such that reasonable respect
for it can not be enforced, it should be
repealed. If any law can be safely treat
ed with contempt, men lose respect for
all law.
