to secure a postponement of final action

There were two sets of lobbyists
against the bill. Those who were using
arguments and party pressure and those
who were trying to use money. The first
class includes a number of senate en-
ployes, Republican members of the
house and some politicians residing in

newly acquired territories, after such
territories had been ceded to the United

been exercising control over the same.
There are great many lawyers of
ability, fully up to the average, that
cannot at present understand what is
meant by the proposed process of ex-
tending the constitution. They do not
understand how the United States gov

as government and by authority of the
constitution. 1t seems to me that it
would be a speedy and effective way
of educating the common people for the
attorney general to exercise his extra

such ability in constituting the statutes

INDECENT PERSONS
Will Be Benefited By IL Bill
That Passed the House
Yesterday.

Physicians, township and city officers
and tax payers in general will be in
terested in bill that was passed in the
house of representatives yesterday.
The bill provides that physicians may
demand reasonable compensation for
attendance for three days on an indi-
gent person and may present a bill for
the same. If the bill is not paid the
physician may present the bill to the
township or city authorities and if they
refuse to pay it he may sue and collect
the amount. Many physicians attend
patients who cannot pay and frequently
the city physician cannot attend to all
of the demands upon him. INDECENT
persons sometimes suffer on that ac-
count. 1t need not be the case under the
bill just passed by the house. Physi-
clans may be assured of their pay for
their services for three days, which is
ample time in which to get the case
to the attention of the proper authori-
ties and give them an opportunity to
take matters in charge.

Columbus, March 14-The Clark local
option bill was defeated in the senate
this morning by vote Of 16 nays and
Is yeas. The measure came up for pass
age at 10:30 as a special order. There
was no debate. The lobby was crowded
to suffocation, and the friends of the
measure looked for oratorcal effects.
There was a moments silence after the
speaker put the bill on passage and then
the vote was called.
The senators voting yea were Ar
cher, Bright, Hanna, Harding, Har-
bough, Howard, Marchant, Madden,
Myers, Patterson, Roudebush, Stivers,
Williams, Writ, Wightman. Total, Is.
Nays, Brorien, Brown, Cohen, Dodge,

Total 16. A motion to reconsider the
bill was lost thus effectually killing
the bill.

been such a formidable lobby arrayed
against a measure as worked to defeat
the Clark bill. Not county in the state
but that has had a representative here

Charles Pryor, Forakers law partner,

passage.

KINTZ ANSWERS DANNER.

Editor News-Democrat: Brother DAN
ner still insists on having all good Chris
tians and all good people to help by their
votes to destroy the saloon. This is GER
tainly praiseworthy in Brother Danner
But allow me to suggest an idea on the
saloon that perhaps Brother Danner has
never thought of. The New Voice, a
prohibition paper raises the question:
Would Socialism abolish the saloon?"
and sends a representative to find out,
and he takes several cities in Scotland
as test, and one is the city of Glasgow
which he says contains more socialists
than any other city in the world, ac-
cording to the population. And while
the government is doing more to anne
liorate the condition of labor by subsi-
dies, charities and so on, than any other
city in the world of it's size. he finds
more saloons in Glasgow than in any
other city of its size in the world There
fore, he concludes that socialism would
not destroy the saloon. Now there are
hundreds of men in this community
that would lay down their shovel and
hoe, their trowl, saw and hatchet, or
whatever else it might be, and sit down
two minutes and think the thing over
no test at ALL l care not If the people
of Glasgow were all socialists, or how
much the government is doing to add
to the comfort or the happiness of the
laboring classes, they are living under a
capitalist government, and capital is not
going to get off their backs. Now, any
body that kno VS. anything about the ma
ture and about the history of man,
knows that mans wants are things that
can be planted and cultivated and that
as rule mems wants prompt their ac-
tions, If they do not always control
them. Now the manufacture and the
sale of Intoxicating liquors is carried on
for profit, and the more you can induce
men to drink, the more you cultivate
that want, consequently the
more the profit and the more saloons.
But now let us apply a natural remedy.
Suppose the government were to manip-
ulate as socialists propose, so that there
would be no profit in the manufacture or
sale of Intoxicating liquors, then how
many saloons would there be? think
there are few men that would either
or sell intoxicating liq- |
uors II II were not for the profit. But |
II the government would take all the |
profit off on the manufacture and sale |
OF Intoxicating liquors II would have to |
things as socialists propose

had been cut out Of any of the proceeds
While Ernest got the whole thing. Jos.
claimed Ernest had used undue infiu-
ence with their father and thus cheated
him out of his rights. He asked that
the transfers be set aside and the prop
erty divided equally. The case has
been in course of preparation for
some months. A large number of wit
nesses We're called Wednesday and
and everything was ready to go on with
the suit. Welty and Albaugh repre-
sented the plaintiff and Wilson and
Day and Austin Lynch the defendant.
After the case had been called for trial.

ences and the whole matter was drop-
ped from the docket.

So many people have what is called
