We refrainad frotn saying anything in our
last items regarding the trial Of DIR. @. G.
Stokes, charged with violation Of the temper
ence ordinance, for the reason that the decis-
lon had not yet been rendered 1t is due the
temperance people OF the community who
did not attend the trial, to know some of the
facts In the case We will give the testimony
OF three of the principal witnesses in the case,
in substance.
One swore he obtained a prescription for
two bottles (quarts) of beer and upon that
prescription got the beer of DIR. Stokes took
the same down the railroad, where he and
two or three companions drank it. Sometime
afterwards he got another prescription from
the same physician for six bottles of beer
got the beer from DIR. Stokes and took it tC
his fathers barn, where he and others drank
1t. Another witness swore that he got whis-
key at two different times on the same even
ing. one-half pint each time, with a little
glycerine and quinine, without prescription
Of DR.. Stokes. Another swore he got a pre-
Scription for two bottles of beer daily; pre-
scription to continue until further notice
He used the prescription for several months
getting the beer nf DIR. Stokes. Neither DIR
Stokes nor the doctor who gave the prescript-
ion was his family physician. The mayor
gave his decision on Wednesday of last week
of not guilty, On the grounds, we understand
of insufficient evidence II this decision i.
right then the defendant is free manfred
to sell upon prescription, whether the pre-
scription be for two, six or ten bottles of beel
or whiskey-whether for a single purchase, OF
to be continued indefinitely. All that is nee
essary to have an open door is to have one OF
more physicians who will write the prescrip

THE British, in South Africa, use
"dum-dum" bullets, and the Peace
Conference sought an agreement to
discontinue their use. The British
objected, and the effort to have their
use discontinued, failed. The motives
of the Conference were the best, but the
British were right. General Sherman
knew what he was talking about, when
he said 'war is help. The aim in bat
tie is to kill, not wound, as many Of the
enemy as possible. Most any man
would rather be badly wounded and get
well, than be killed. The English
found that the steel bullets of the
modern rifle would pass through the
rugged savages of South Africa and
not disable them; they therefore
changed the bullet so as to make it
tear a big hole in man and disable
him. These are called "dum-dum"
bullets. AS they will disable the saw
age warriors, save their own soldiers,
and win victory for them, why should
not the British use them? II it were q
proposition to discontinue the use OF
bullets like copper bullets, that would
make men suffer from wounds after the
war was over, and through life, 1t
would be different matter. The
''dum-dum" is cruel missile. But
what is more cruel than war?

THERE ARE NEWSPAPERS.
That Do Not Always Practice What
They Preach.

The Cleveland Leader processes to
be opposed to Trusts, but is the apollo
gist for Trusts, and loses no oppor-
tunity to assail those who ere fighting
them. It makes q pretense of denounc-
ing Trusts and then publishes lengthy
articles (paid for in other papers, max
ing false defense of theL1 1t has
never uttered word of conc emnation
of the men constituting the great
Trusts. but unfairly attacks Monnett
and Jones, who are honestly fighting
the battles of the people and seeking
to break down and break up the great
Trusts.
A day or two ago, the Leader showed
its hatred of Trusts by making an
ostentatious attack on Jones, of Toledo,
because he had made q bid on the
Toledo gas plant, which the city had
offered for sale. It placed its article
in the middle of its most prominent
page, with border around it, to
attract attention; headed it, ''Practice
What They Preach. There are
Politicians Who Do Not Always Do
So."
The truth about the matter is, that
the city offered itsplant for sale. Jones,
who believes in Eanicipal ownership,
with his friends, offered to put in a
$500, 900 plant run it, put aside all
receipts over expenses and per cent
interest, as sinking fund, and when
this sinking fund covered the amount
Of their investment, turn over the
works to the city. Their object was to
show that municipal ownership was
profitable, and to secure it to the city.
And for doing this, he is accused by
the Leader OF insincerity, in not
practicing what he breaches. If the
Leader were honestly opposed to
Trusts, it would not jump 80 quickly at
what it thought was an opportunity
to attack men who are fighting Trusts.
We are glad to welcome men of all
parties into the ranks of those who are
fighting Trusts, and hope they may
control all parties.

THE CANTEEN
A Committee Of Leading Temperance
Men Waits on President
Mckinley.

On Tuesday, committee Of leading
Temperance men, representing leading
Temperance societies and the Temper
ance sentiment of the country, waited
upon President Mckinley at the White
House, to present their dissent to the
opinion of Attorney Gen. Griggs that
the late act Of Congress did not do what
it was framed to do, to wit abolish the
army canteen or doggery.
They presented an able legal opinion
on the subject. They held that the At
torney Generals decision was perver-
sion of the law, and referred to the
letters sent out for the opinious OF
army officers to bolster up the decision,
as only an aggravation of the evil
worked by the decision. The Presi-
dent was asked to give a rehearing
upon the construction and interpreta-
tion of the law.
The response of the President is
given in the following paragraph:
The members of the delegation, after
their call, reported the President as
saying that the opinion of the Attorney
General was given without any pre-
vious knowledge on his part; that he
did not know that an opinion had been
asked for by the Secretary of War,
neither did he know that such an
opinion had been given until several
days afterward, and that he would look
into the matter personally, and, If the
Il nniniOr nf tho Gonovo1 G
found to be correct, At should stand
but he added that ali men were fallible,
and that, If the Attorney General had
| (Griggs) would be ready to rectify it
that he was an able lawyer and man
honest and courageous.
1t has been the claim heretofore
that Griggs, as Attorney General, was
the law-oficer Of the Cabinet, and thai
his dicturn rules all Departments
This was why Adjutant Corbinhad to e
back ON his declaration that the Law
abolished the canteen, and that il
would be enforced.
But in the above paragraph the
President asserts his right to interfere
and asserts positively that if the deci
sion of Griggs is right it shall stand
but that if it is wrong, Griggs is &
good fellow, and he has no doubt hi
will rectify it. In other words, the
President asserts his right to interfere
but doesn't propose to do so, but viii
let Griggs, if he wants to.

AL0ER GOES OUT.

Washington correspondents now
assert that the President and Secretary
Alger have come to an agreement, and
the Secretary is to retire from the
Cabinet in November. He retains his
position till that time, that he may
make his annual report to Congress.
He is to resign then, because cit is
inconsistent for a Cabinet member to
participate as an active aspirant in a
political contest of such magnitude and
Importance, and retain his official con-
nection with the Administration -
This makes US smile; and the reason
we smile is, that it was not deemed
Inconsistent" for the head of this
Administration to participate" in the
Senatorial contest in Ohio.
