MONDAYS INJECTING of the Reading Room
association brought the membership up to
forty eight: by no means n sufficient mum

before they affiliate. That is all right for
them; it may meet their ideas of public
sprlte(lncss, but it does not organize reading
rooms AMI that method Of furthcring the
project will cost the town all that the present
opportunity offers, if persisted in Just
what this something is, is greater or less rs
it is measured by mind Of greater or less

to be held on Monday evening, December 9th,
and it may be safely assumed that upon the
result of their solicitations hangs the future
of the movement. Those who have identit-
ed themselves with it thus far, arc unanimous
in their determination that our people sha II
have the choice of two courses only: the
first, to render by their support assured sue

When gas or even Kerosene lamps arc
used, the safety Of health simply depends on
securing full, free and perfect ventiation.-
The necessity for this precau,ion is highly
apparent when we think of the impurities
which gas and kerosene sends forth into the

which Is wrought to the healthy when the
impurities are inhaled. Unless bedroom

friends should not fail to make plain to the
temperance, rather the Prohibition people,
is that should there be High License law
enacted by the coming legislature, it will
probably. almost certainly be drawn to re
late to such districts and counties only where
there is license now under the law. That
is, should the law be passed, it would
no, change the status quo in Local Option
districts but would leave those districts with
out license, high or low. OF course we can
not assert that such would be the provisions
but were they not, we do not hesitate to
claim that High License IN al of Frederick
county would NC vastly prcfcra bic 10 No lii
ccnsc in several districts and unlimited, UNI
hrlded and criminally profuse licensing in
the remainder. Those who answer this by
saving that we desire a return to license in
this district, we answer by asking them TO
enl,avor to reach q broader view; to rise
superior to personal and selfish consideration
ct the subject and when they attain to that,
they will readily see how it is possible that
we do not base our opinion thus. 1t is Il
broad and deep issue and requires that it be
considered without bias or narrowmindcd'
ness: it will, as it has proven elsewhere, he
vastly stronger lever against incmperancc
than any prohibit on legislation vet devised
and. this conceded, opposition to the move
mcnt becomes criminal.
We know that advocates of every move
ment are always capable of proving by sta
tistics, all that they require to make out the
strongest possible case, while the opponents
OF the movement just as readily quote facts
and figures in rcbuttal, but we have in this,
as in all things, cndeavored to preserve our
lbcrality of opinion and independence of
Judgment we have weighed the facts stated
on both sides and one pre-cmincntly good
showing for High License we have surely
found and that is the really marvellous de.
crease of criminal arrests following upon the
advent of High License, reported from not
few places We have read similar CLAIMS for
Prohibition localities but the very strongest
statements do not equal those referred to
above, with this additional weakness, that
good results are the exception, the rule being
to violate the law. to so great extent that
harm rather than good comes of its passage.
In some instances, notably in Carlisle, Pa.
the temperance people themselves largely
prayed for Its repeal.

They brought suits before justice of the

confessed for the amounts due them, and
which they had refused to receive without
suits. and the judgments were paid by the
defendant The cases in Court were rcmov-
ed BY the defendant to Cumberland, where
they were tried and resulted in verdc,s for

of Judge Hoffman who presided at the trial.
The Court of Appeals have determined
that they had no right to multiply law suits
