Concerning the Sale of Liquor

Concerning the Sale of Liquor.
The remark of Rev. w. F. Berry In
relation to the money expended by the
State for the protection of fish and
game. and the penalty inflicted for
the violation OF the laws for their pro-
lection, was suggestive. II, as he said,
the game Is worth protecting, and it Is,
Why not take as much interest 10 the
protection Of our boys and young men
who are more valuable? And yet the
prohibitory law which was designed to
protect them is allowed to be openly
violated and the only reason for allowing
1t Is the claim that some man or men
cannot make money unless it Is violated.
We call thaS mighty ouesided reason,
for the more money there Is made In the
sale OF liquor the less is made In publish.
ing newspaper or In selling the neces
stiles Of life; we know, and every gre
Ger, butcher and dry goods man knows,
that the average man cannot contribute
to the support of liquor seller and al
the same time pay his honest debts.
The person who winks at the violation
of the pr0hibitOry law because its viola
ton puts more money In some mans
pocket discriminates uniustly; the bene-
fit is to the few, the loss to the many.
And this leads US to remark that the
prohibitory law can be enforced II the
people demand it. The rise and fall of
the law depends entirely on that ''if."
In preof of this statement we need NOT
go farther away than Dover village.
We can recall more than dozen persons
who during the past twenty years have
attempted to sell liquor Illegally within
its borders and vet every one of them
came to grief because the people would
not allow them to continue and today
there is not place in the village where
liquor can be bought.
And what the people Of Dover have
done the people of other towns can do If
they are determined to. There is food
for reflection. Piscatdquis Observer.

Ohio Men To the Front.

1t was an Ohio-born man who led
the Cullom forces in the Illinois Re
publican state convention this week,
and so signally defeated Governor
Tanners contingent. Hon. Charles
P. Hitch, of Paris, Edgar county, and
a close friend of Uncle Joe Cannon,
demonstrated his old time ability in
beating the anti-Cullom crowd and the
Chicago gang leaders. Mr.. Hitch is
the United States Marshal for the dis
trict of Illinois, has been chairman of
the state executive committee several
years, and is member Of the new
state central committee of Illinois
from the Nineteenth district. Hon.
Charles G. Dawes, comptroller of the
United States treasury, was chairman
of the convention, and Hitch was the
leader of the national administration
on the floor to aid Mr.. Dawes and sig
nally defeat the Tanner crowd, that
was organized to give trouble to the
friends OF President Mcinley. Mr..
Hitch was born at Bantam, Clermont
county, Ohio, and was close friend
Of the late Joe Smith. He comes from
an old igRepublican family long
prominent in southern Ohio. Hon.
Charles G. Dawes is son of General
Rufus r. Dawes, who represented the
Marietta district in congress some
years ago, and has been intimately
connected in politics with President
for the past four years.

The New Preieetile.

News comes from Washington of
the invention, by an officer Of the navy
of wonderful new projecttcle against
which the best modern armor Is de-
fenseless. II this be true another in
teresting point in the contest between
projecticles and protective armor has
been reached. Ever since the begin
ming OF the use of metallic armor for
ships this contest has gone on with
varying fortunes. When the Monitor
engaged the Merrimac, the sheathing
OF iron which covered both was practi-
cally imprengnable to any of the pro-
jecticles which either was capable OF
firing. and the principal advantage
obtained by the Monitor was on ac-
count OF her superior mobility. Soon
after that guns were devised which
made thai sort of armor useless for
purposes of protection; then another
step forward in the manufacture of ar
NOR was made which again nonplused
the gun, and the see-sawing has been
kept up ever since.
According to the reports concerning
the new shell it looks now as If the
projecticle might come out the per-
manent victor. 1t hardly seems pos
sible to go much farther in hardening
and strengthening metal armor plates,
but there are great possibilities in in
creasing the velocity of projecticles
and the power of Guns which hurl
them, 1t is not probable that we will
abandon armor, for though it may be
pierced by some shots it cannot be
pierced by ALL but if we are compelled
to face the fact that no armor can af-
ford absolute protection, the ship, like
the soldier, will fght taking his
chances of being disabled or destroyed
by a we'll directed shot, with those
chances much greater, in the case of
the ship, than they are at present.

The Ties of Comradeship.

The reports of officers show a net
gain in membership of the Ohio de-
partment of the G. A. r. during the
last year of 1888. The number OF
members in good standing on Jan. |,
1900, was 27,031. Special efforts were
made during the year by Department
Commander Shinn to increase the
membership and with good results. 1t
is quite remarkable that such a gain
should have been made when 1t is con-
sidered that the ranks of the veterans
are being constantly thinned by the
death and that each vacancy thus Gre
ated is irreparable. There could be no
stronger proof that the ties of com
radeship among the veterans are
growing stronger as the final muster
out of the Grand Army that fought
for the preservation of the Union
draws nearer to the end. While the
turning point in the membership must
inevitably be reached 1t Is quite GER
tain that the proportion of veterans
of the civil war enrolled in the organi-
cation will increase. The Grand Army
of the Republic has accomplished a
glorious mission in fostering and per-
petuating the ties of comradeship and
keeping alive the fires of patriotism,
and in the saddening hours the vet
erans will cling to it with even greater
zeal and affectlon.-Ohio State Journal
