TEMPERANCE AT OAK PARK.
LECTURER WEBB SPEAKS FOR
THE CAUSE.
Saloons Are Portrayed as Evils to
the Individual and the
Community.

There was a largely attended tenn
perance meeting at Dailys Hall, Oak
Park, last night. The purpose of the
meeting was to forward the movement
TO establish a so-called sanitary dis
trict, in which no liquor will be sold
1t was announced by the Chairman
that there would be a warm canvass
OF the issue and that the opposition
would also hold meetings People of
all beliefs. however, were invited to
near the temperance side.
Last nights audience consisted al
most wholly of women, and they ap-
plauded the. speaker with much vigor.
Chairman c. T. McFarlane called the
meeting to order and announced that
there would be speaking at the hall
every Thursday night. Mr.. webb was
introduced as the first speaker.
He said in answer to the possible
charge that he was sticking his nose in
other peoples business by coming to
sacramento County. where he did not
live, that he was a citizen of Califor-
MA, and that whatever was good for
the masses was good for him.
L was born in England he said,
and l became an American citizen by
choice, because of it's larger opportuni-
ties.
Il regret tossay that many foreign
ers, however, abuse their hospitality
here in this country by conducting sa-
looms. find the great majority of sa-
loonkeepers in this great country are
foreigners"
The speaker then said that there was
nevery a rose in the hat of "a saloon
Keepers wife that was not stolen from
the health and happiness of some other
woman's cheek.
He did not wish to be, bitter, but he
said no saloon man could succeed with
out injury TO Individuals and the COM
munity; therefore, no good citizen could
shake hands with a saloonkeeper and
heartily wish him well. He thought the
increase Of insanity and asylums in
this State was due to drunkenness. The
directors of all asylums would saw un-
hesitatingly that drink was the chief
cause of insanity.
Going into the. case of crime, the
speaker said the wardens of the States
asylums would readily say that drink
ing Is the one great, all-pervading
cause of crime
Thus, in two great regions of taxa
ton and expense" he said, liquor SELL
ing has greatly increased crime and in
sanity"
He cited Pasadena as a fine example
of good-sized town that thrives with
out saloons. 1t was a town about as
large as his own home-Fresno, and
when recently at Pasadena he was
pleased to see people prosperous. the
town splendid testimonial to right
eous living. On all sides were the evi-
denees of thrift, happy and sober people
nlling workshop and field. Temper
ance was a success there, not a mere
pretense, for the speaker had been un-
able to find stronger drink than lem
onade for sale-and there were no
sticks in the Pasadena femonades.
The speaker urged the establishing
of sanitary district in Oak Park. so
the saloon would cease its harm, and
the whisky seller enter upon an honor
able career-'tin some business where
all can respect him." said the lecturer
shake hands with him and wish him

In report to the classi. of Amster-

The Courts Comment.

A Georgia justice Of the peace, re-
lates Case and Comment, once took
upon himself to charge a jury as fol-
lows: Gentlemen, this Is n case which
has been tried by me before, and de-
cided In favor Of the defendant" As
the jury took the hint and found for
the defendant. Just as the Justice had
done before, although the evidence was
Overwhelmingly in favor Of the plain
tiff. the higher court refused to let the
verdict stand. 1t also commented as
follows:
"a Justice Of the peace Is generally
q man Of consequence in his neighbor-
hood. He writes the willis, draws the
deeds and pulls the teeth OF the peo-
pie. also he performs divers surgical
operations on the animals OF his neigh
bors. The justice has played his part

A TOUR THROUGH SUGAR
VALLEY,
\ ar
prOmissOry note.

Interesting as other parts of
Clinton County may seem to the
eyes of the tourist, Sugar Valley
stands prominent of all. Not on
account of it's variety and extent of
scenery, but for the grandeur of
some ofthe remarkable works of ma
ture.
At the lower end of Nittany Val
ley is beautiful mountain road
leading to Sugar Valley. Along
this road flows rapid stream,
known as Flat Rock, which rises
near the top of Nittany mountain.
Connected with this small stream
are few facts which may be inter
esting to the reader. The stream
is formed by many mountain
springs, and during wet seasons
they become very large. During
the June flood a "water spout" Op-
ened on Nittany mountain bringing
down into the stream thousands OF
tons of rock and earth forming a
dam which cause considerable de-
structiOn to a little village below.
On the top of the mountain are
many beautiful farms with large
apple orchards, which seem to
thrive well here. Near the valley
on this road is large sulphur
spring, a rarity of Pennsylvania.
Entering the valley at this place
one can see, on a clear day, from
one end of the valley to other,
enclosed on all sides by mountains
not only marking the distinct linn
its of the valley, but presents some
of the most attractive mountain
scenery in Pennsylvania.
Sugar Valley well deserves its
name. A tourist need not carry
provisions along while travelling
through here. The hospitality of
the people is beyond question the
most pleasant part to he mentioned.
Does anyone wish to improve in
health and grow fat by feasting up
o. the good things of German peO-
pie! Go to Sugar Valley.
