SOME INSIDE HISTORY.
Liquor League May Travel
Rocky Road-Not Certain
Which Way to Turn:


Special to Toledo Blade.
Columbus, Jan. pa question that
is now bringing perspiration to the
brow of the honest politician is the
stand the Committee on Temperance
will take on liquor legislation.
1t is asserted by the astute campaign
managers who drift in and out of the
city, that long before committees were
made up, Senator Hanna, or some of
his close friends, promised the liquor
people that there would be no legisla-
tion, this winter, neither against the
brewery and distillery interests nor for
the liquor league. To make this state
ment palmer, it is contended that the
liquor league was promised that there
would be no temperance or liquor leg
islation.
Of course, the liquor people supposed
| the promisors, as we will term them,
know what they were talking about
The liquor people expected, under the
circumstances, that some one would
dictate just who should be on the COM
mittee OF Temperance.
History chronicles, as also have The
Blade columns, that the so-called Han
ma forces did not figure prominently in
the organization of the assembly.
Perhaps Speaker Reynolds was asked
to fix up Temperance committee to
please the promisors above mentioned
and if advances were made to him he
did not follow the advice of his solicit.
Gus friends, according to statements
that are now current.
The chairman of the committee, Mr.
duff, of Tuscarawas, is an avowed an
ti-liquorman, but the makeup of the
remainder of the committee is what oc
casions the puzzled looks and knotted
foreheads.
After long hours of study, those who
fought to know something about the stu
alton say there are only two men on the
committee of seven who are inclined tt
take stand with the liquor people
Under the circumstances, the brewers
the wine men and the distillers are no
little agitated. They have in mind ;
bill that was reached few days ago
which, if passed, will give local option
to wards of cities as we'll as townships
The liquor people do not want such {
law enacted.
In order to defeat this bill the liquor
men are wondering to whom they shall
appeal. They do not know if they ough
to shine up to Hanna forces or to tn
Daugherty men. 1t is a serious ques
tion. They argue that Hanna wa
bumped hard in the organization, AM
they feel as they ought to desert him
despite the fact that his lieutenant
made promises. They have not beel
altogether friendly to Mr.. Daugherty
and if they do decide to cast thei
fortunes with him, it will be like feed
ing ''bottle'' babe sour milk instea
of the saccharine fluid.
The liquor men are engaged just nov
in canvassing the situation and the
will not "tie up' to anybody until the
have determined, in their own minds
who will have the right of way.

The dignified gentleman with the
buck-skin gloves saw a pin lying on the
sidewalk. He stopped to pick it uI
without removing his gloves.
The first grab essayed about three
grains of sand, but the dignified gen

performance, and with this nucleus the
crowd gathered rapidly and began Of

''Stick to It'll" called voice with a

In all the Central and Eastern States
there are thousands of acres which
should never have been cleared, and
which would now be more proftably
employed in growing timber. These
lands are too thin and rough ever to
have paid the cost of fitting them for
cultivation, and they are cultivated
now at positive loss. They ought to
be reforestered, or seeded to permanent
pasture and left undisturbed.
