Gained THE Sheriff.
Deputies Call on Sheriff Zaiser
and Give Him the Sur.
prise of His Life.

The deputies in Sheriff Zaiser's Office
got after him with stick Friday even
ing. There wasn't any controversy be-
tween them, for the sheriff is unusually
plea:sant and agreeable since his mat
rimonial venture n few days ago The
stick wasn't of the kind that the pros
ecutor is using to stir up some other
county officials, but the top of the stick
was surmounted with a gold head. II
was the finest cane that the deputies
could Ivy in this city, and the sheriff
was greatly surprised when they pre-
sented 1t to him as a Xmas present.
About $50 o'clock, when the deputies
learned that the sheriff was at his fire.
side with his family. they marched
over to the house and walked in. At
first the sheriff thought they were 60
ing to ask for more salary, but his anx-
iety was relieved when Deputy Cru
baugh displayed cane and with fitting
words gave Ii to the sheriff.
1t was simply too much for the sher-
iff; he even forgot the words of that
German song that he is wont to sing.
But he recovered sufficiently to thank
the men for their kind remembrance
and he invited them 'in."

sions, the church will summon and
pledge all our ministers and people to
a more determined struggle against this
enormous evil, and urge each to COM
tribute thereto. according to his judg-
ment. his testimony, his example, and
his ballot.
I'VE call upon the administration to
make use of it's tremendous power In
the military government Of the east
ern islands that have come under our
control. so that the people of those is
lands shall not be debauched by the in
PRODUCTION of the liquor traffic. among

POLITICAL ACTION.
"Conceding that 1t is not the province
of the church to give affirmative direc-
tion to. or assume to control, the fran
chise of the citizen. II by no means fol-
lows that the church must be silent
concerning great wrongs because they
have entrenched themselves in law or
have become potent in influencing and
controlling political action.
"One of the greatest dangers to our
country's welfare Is the tremendous
power which the organized liquor traffic
wields in political affairs. power 50
great and promptly applied that, with
rare exception. candidates for public
office dare not speak their honest senti-
ments concerning that traffic. while
oI1Ce nOluerS, aUlDitiOuS 10 secure re-
election, realize that the faithful per-
formance of their duty in the enforce
ment of law against the saloon will be
fatal to their hopes for promotion.
when the christian citizen Is as
prompt with his political rewards and
punishments as is the supporter of the
saloon. the cause of civic righteousness
will have made a notable advance.
Quoting and reafiirming the action
of the general conference of 1892, we
record our deliberate judgment that no
political party has right to expect,
nor ought 1t to receive, the support of
christian men so long as 1t stands COM
mitted to the license policy or refuses
to put itself on record in an attitude
of open hostility to the saloon. But the
foregoing must not be considered as in
the interest of any political party"
In view of these clearly pronounced
statements. no Methodist can Justify
himself in voting with any tax or license
party: neither can n christian of any
other name give an excuse in casting
his ballot with brewers, liquor sellers
and saloon men. in legalizing 50 great
an evil as is that of liquor selling for
beverage purposes.

JUDGE DOYLE WAS HERE
Claimed His Visit Was Purely of
a Private Nature.
CONFERENCE WITH Mr.. LYNCH
Thought That the Capitalists Visit to
Canton May Have Something to Do
With the Line TO Akron.

Judge John H. Doyle, of Toledo, made
a flying trip to Canton Friday evening.
He met William A. Lynch and other
capitalists and 1t is thought they went
into details concerning the Canton
Akron line.
Mr.. Doyle, when approached by a
News Democrat reporter, would say
nothing for publication, outside Of a
few remarks on the weather and the
political situation in northwestern Ohio.
He claimed his visit here was of a pri-
vate nature in which he and Mr.. Lynch
alone were interested. Mr.. Lynch made
the same assertion and added that 1t
was not visit of public nature. Judge
Doyle returned to Toledo at an early
hour Saturday morning.
