cinnati will take lively interest In the
political campaign this fall. 1t will not
put an independent ticket in the field,
as was at first proposed, but will wait
until the regular Republican and Demo.
cratic nominations are made. Then the
league will make selection of those can.

will try to get pledges from Legislative
nominees to support certain measures ln

proper enforcement of law In CincIn
natl.
There are three measures which the
league has determined upon.
1t will strike off the Imprisonment
clause in the cases Of Sunday and mid
night law yiolators, leaving the penalty
fine. This will in effect do away with
police court juries and throw the re-
sponsibillty directly on the judge. As
the law is at present, the juries will moi
convict because public sentiment does
not approve of the Imprisonment pen.
atty.
1t will refuse an offender bond ON the
occasion of his second arrest the same
day for the repetition of an offense This
looks to the absolute closing of saloons
on Sunday and at midnight, by locking
up the proprietor on his second offense
and keeping him prisoner until the
time has passed In which he can offend.
The league claims that under the pres
ent law saloonkeeper or bartender,
when arrested. gives bond and returns
and repeats the violation and so on ad
infinitum.
1t will provide lastly for the arrest of
offenders as soon as the offense is begun.
and not wait until it is completed. By
this 1t is sought to entirely abolish Sun
day theaters. The league claims that
Its experience in the past has been tina:
the police officials refuse to arrest the
ater managers and actors until the per-
formance Is over. 1t wants them arrest
ed as soon as the performance begins,
which would prove SO disastrous as 10
compel the theaters to close on Sunday.
Should the league succeed in securing
the Introduction and passage of such
amendments to the existing laws, they
would not apply TO Cincinnati alone, but
to all the cities and villages Of the state,
and for this reason the league hopes to
secure the cooperation Of reform organi-
cations throughout the state and so to
prevail with the Legislature.

The mounted knight had his visor

symbolized Life.
The other was on foot;his armor was
coal-black steel; his visor was closed,
and in his hand he bore drawn two

shrouded in Grape. He symbolized
Death.

always displayed by the friends of the
sufferer in such cases. "Do listen to the

"Humph; 1 suppose you like the

COllNIX EAIR

You don't need to be reminded that
the Oxford County fair occurs on the
18th, 18th and 18th of September. The
fair is always success, there is nc
doubt about that. You want TO make il
as much of a success as possible, not
only for your own personal benefit, but
from pride in ''our fair"
The parade of teams in the forenoon OF
the third day, with prizes for the most
attractive, is a new feature, and ought 10
be taking one. THERE'S no specification
whatever as 10 the kind of team; you
have only to exercise your ingenuity and
artistic talent, and IL you have some
unique team, attractive in itself, to start
with, so much the better.
Look out for the fair next week.
