Col. Hard's Such a Nice Man,
and a jolly Good Fellow and
a Friend of Col. Dick.

Akron Beacon Journal: Col. G. ".
Hard, Of Wooster, o., the gallant COM
mander of the Eighth Ohio regiment,
popularity known as the "Presi-
dents own" during the Span
ish-American war, arrived in the
city, Saturday night, and IS
registered at the Hotel Clarendon, says
the GAINESVILLE News.
Colonel Hard is the official represen-
tative Of Col. Charles Dick, Of Akron,
and Is here to get assessments from Re-
publican officers holders In the govern
ment's employ, for the Republican ma
tional campaign fund.
Mr.. Dick and Colonel Hard are warm
friends. The former was lieutenant
colonel under Colonel Hard, in the late
war and now Mr.. Dick is giving his old
commander boost In political way.
Colonel Hard is a good fellow, well
met, one of the leading citizens of Woos-
ter, and fine military man. He will
probably be appointed to a colonelcy
In the United States army In the Phil
ippines after the present political cam
paign is ended.

"As to the issues this year: No Demo-

for that Is already a part of our creed.
This year, there are only two issues for
us to discuss.
1.-The one is the Philippine situation, the
other Is the trusts. In their arguments
on the Philippines, the Republicans de-
fend their action on two grounds. One,
that the subjugating Of the inhabitants
is done for humanity's sake. That is
the white mans burden. 1t Is our duty
to impose our rule upon the inhabitants
of those islands. We must say to the
Filipinos: BE saved or perish And

hibition as the only rational and chris-
tian way to deal with said traffic. Some
IL years ago he spoke In the Simpson
M. e. church in this city, and all who
heard him were delighted with him.
He then stated that the great mistake
of his life was that he ever should have
advocated any system of license for said
traffic.
Omaha, advocated license Of 81, 900
a year for each saloon. The great brew
ers are all high license advocates. Let
no christian or patriot be longer de-
ceived in supporting any system Of tax
or license for the traffic.
Common sense, justice between man
and man, and the Bible plainly teach
us that IL liquor selling is right, and for
the general welfare of the people sa-
looms and liquor shops should be per-
mitted to open anywhere the same as
a dry goods merchant, or grocery deal
er, without paying anything more
than his or their regular taxes, accord
ing to the amount invested in said busi-
ness, and IL said business is not for the
public good, and welfare of society, 1t
should not be permitted at any price,
or upon any terms. 1t Is impossible
to take any other position, and claim
to be a good citizen. You cannot make
legally right that which is morally
wrong.
AS well claim the right to legalize
prostitution and gambling as to legal
ize liquor selling. In fact all the harm
produced by the former evils never pro-
duced half the ruin that liquor selling
for beverage purposes has produced. In
some parts of France and Germany the
two first named evils have been licensed
or legalized, and wherever that has been
done both prostitution and gambling
have greatly increased.
This Is true of any evil that obtains
legal protection. In Ohio since the en-
actment of the Dow tax law which
tramples upon our state constitution,
the liquor traffic has grown and pros
pered far beyond the same period Of
time before the enactment of said un-
holy and unchristian law, and how any
christian voter will sustain political
party that points with Just pride to
the Dow low" is puzzle am not able
to explain. Consistency is a jewel.
There is not brewer, distiller, saloon
keeper, or liquor seller of any kind in
the nation, but who votes only with
tax or license parties. Should either
the Republican or Democratic party de.
clare against licensing said traffic, there
would not be one of the above named
characters in said party the next day.
Now both parties are full of them. Are
the saloonkeepers and liquor sellers
wiser than christians, If christians have
the same political wisdom, they will
soon part company with all tax and IL
cense parties. What will you do about
1t, brother christian.

LEGALlZED EVILS NO. 20.
(By John Danner.)

This whole nation was shocked by
the great calamity that lately befell the
city Of Galveston, on the basis that the
loss did amount to 10000 lives and ninety
million dollars worth Of property. This
would be a wonderful loss of life and
property, but that many lives and that
much waste Of treasure does take place
in this nation every five weeks of our
present history, through the legalized
liquor traffic, of which our government
is a partner and gives legal sanction
and protection, and yet the powers
that be- are not shocked at this. They
do not even refer to this terrible deves-
tation in any of their political platforms
or speeches. They are as dumb as an
oyster on this legalized evil, which
produces more death and ruin in our
nation than "war, pestilence and fam
inc combined" Have our legislators
and leading politicians lost all
moral sensibility that they do not even
refer to the miserable death of 10000 Of
our citizens every few weeks, without
even the hope of heaven, and the loss
of ninety million dollars Of money at
the same time. God says, "woe to him
that buildeth town with blood, and
establisheth city by iniquity." The Dow
tax law in Ohio, and every other form
of tax or license law that gives legal
existence and protection to this unholy
traffic, comes under the condemnation
Of the Bible. There Is no evading this
Just conclusion, to vote for any party
that upholds such iniquity Is becoming
a partner in this great evil.
Our civil law and Gods law holds
those who are accessory to a crime
equally guilty with the person that
openly commits 1t. Now every man with
common sense knows that under the
Dow tax iniquity In Ohio, the man that
pays the $3.50 blood money in the form
Of tax can begin the business of selling
intoxicating liquors for beverages pur-
poses. Is the saloon keeper more guilty
than the man that votes to uphold such
law? Most certainly not. No civil
court would shield the one and con-
denim the other. How can we expect
that an infinitely pure and holy God
will make such distinction. Verify he
Is no respector of persons. No difference
who may be the candidate on the ticket
of party that consents to so great
and unholy iniquity as the Dow tax
law In Ohio, to vote said ticket, is to
consent that saloons be legally opened
in Ohio, by the payment of $3.50 a year
for such privilege, A.#
The late Hon. John B. Finch was the
great advocate of high license In Me-
, braska and It was soon found that even
$500 license was failure, and Mr..
Finch was thoroughly converted to pro-

HICKS FOR OCTOBER.
Weather Forecast For the Com
ing MOnth-Several Bad
Storms Predicted.

Hicks weather forecast for October
Is as follows:
The first three days Of the month will
be central days of storm period. The
change to warmer weather in western
parts the last days of September, will
reach central and eastern sections dur
ing the 1st, End and 3rd Of October, at
tended by cloudiness and rain. Brisk
autumnal winds, with electrical storms
in some localities, may be expected;
westerly winds and much cooler will
follow from about the 3rd to the 5th.
About the 9Th, 7th and Sth, a reactionary
storm disturbance will be central. AS
may be seen in the September storm
diagram, these conditions are almost
identical with those existing at the time
of the great cyclone which destroyed
Galveston, the exceptions being that the
awfully perturbing power of the Venus
equinox Is not present at this time, AMI
earth Is further removed from the most
critical part of her own autumnal equi-
nox. While we do not expect anything
like repetition of that fatal storm, we
may reasonably look for marked storm
conditions on and next to the 9Th. 7th
and Sth. All localities in which the tenn
perature becomes high, with south
winds and low barometer, will most
likely experience thunder storms and
high winds. Early snow in the north
and west need not surprise any one,
and very general change to much
cooler weather and frost will be natural
behind the storms about the Sth to 10th
inclusive. The next storm period Is
central on the 18th, covering the 10th to
the 14th. Warm southerly winds will
blow during the first days Of this per-
iod, causing pleasant days, but leading
up to a return of cloudiness and more
storms of rain and wind, with probable
snow northward. The storms of this
period will culminate about Friday the
18th to Sunday the 14th. Another
change to northwesterly winds and
much cooler weather will follow in the
immediate wake of these storms, bring
ing bright weather and frosty nights
to much of the country from about the
14th to 18th. The nth to the goth con-
stltute reactionary storm period.
Natures regular swing back to storm
conditions will be natural at this time.
1t will grow warmer, winds will come
from east and south, cloudiness will en-
sue, and more rain, turning to snow,
perhaps, northward, all followed by the
regular change to fair and colder.
Fair, colder weather always extending
into the days between the storm periods,
especially in the extreme eastern parts
of the country. The next storm period
is central on the oath. Change to much
warmer will set in about the 22d and
23rd, other storm conditions will fol-
low in regular order and more rain,
wind and snow will be natural conse-
quences about the oath, 25th and 26th.
A sharp cold wave for the season will
spread over the country from about the
25th to the 2Sth, causing heavy frosts
and some freezing over great part Of
the country. October comes to its close
at the end of reactionary storm dis
turbances which will be central about
the goth and 3Oth Change to fair and
colder will be advancing from the west
as the month goes out.

and when Vice President Kessler called
the meeting to order again, at o'clock,
the enthusiasm for Morris knew no
bonds. The chairman pro tenn first an
nounced Mr.. A. McGregor, who spoke
for ten minutes. He urged the Democ-
racy Of Stark county to turn out and
work. He aroused the greatest enthu-
siasm when he said:
"Once, in the good old days, we had
a Democracy In Stark county. This
year we are going to have the same kind
OF a rank and file again. The Demo-
Gratis OF Stark have work to do this
year. and plenty of 1t. All Of them are
going to vote the straight Democratic
ticket at the election (applause). We
don't want any more confounded non
sense this year. And II Stark
county's Democracy turns out and
works, and votes, then we'll elect Mr.
Morris to carry out the glorious prin-
ciples embodied in our platform"
Here Acting Chairman Kessler called
on President James A. Sterling, who
had arrived meantime. to take charge
of the meeting, and President Sterling
called on Hon. E. H. Moore Of Youngs-
town, who was on the platform. for q
rev WOruS. We BruuBe against MT.
Moore" said the chairman, jocularly.
HE nominated Mr.. Morris at the AL
lance convention, after I had made a
magnificent speech for another candl-
date. And the way believe he swiped
us was by promising that IL we'd nom!-
nate Mr.. Morris. Mahoning would roll
up great big majority for him-Rs-
publican Mahoning!"
Ex-MAYoR MOORE SPEAKS.
Mr.. Moore was greeted by applause.
He said In part:
II don't promise that Morris will be
elected, because l don't know what
Stark will do; but will say that II we
don't carry Republican Mahoning by a
handsome majority for Mr.. Morris, I'll
never try to be a prophet again. All we
ask is that Stark will do her share. We
don't ask any 1.7oo plurality for him.

sional candidate in this county, but we
do want you to carry the county for
Morris. (Applause.)

New Era For The South.

The candidacy of Donaldson Caffrey,
Jr., for governor Of Louisiana, on the
Republican, independent and Populist
ticket is one of the signs of the begin
ming of the end of the solid south In pol
tiles. To call ones self a Republican in
Louisiana up to to-day was to court os-
tracism, but Caffrey, who has the indie
pendent spirit of his father, one Of the
Democratic United States senators
from Louisiana, dared to accept the Re-
publican nomination for governor.
Mr.. Caffrey's letter of acceptance is
an extraordinary political document.
He declares that the negro has been
eliminated as a political issue; that is
to say, he has been disfranchised. Mr..
Caffrey declares that the perversion and
betrayal of representative government
by the Democratic party justifles revolt.
The powers flched from the people must
be restored to them. The ballot box
must be made sacred.
Mr.. Caffrey is young, eloquent and
fearless, and his arraignment Of the
party Of power in Louisiana Is only too
true. Men before him who left the Dem
ocratic party feared ostracism, and so
called themselves independents or Pop
ulists. but the young candidate for gov
ernor will unite them under the banner
of the Republican party, which stands
for equal rights and the honest ballot,

COLORADO-NEW MEXICO BOUNDARY.
Colorado Appoints Two officials to Deter
mine the Boundary Definitely.

For years there has been trouble
about the exact location of the northern
boundary line of New Mexico. . Just
where New Mexico commences and
Colorado ends is a question which has
come up many times in recent years and
10Y to settle the dispute the residents
of the district surrounding Pagosa
Springs have asked Governor Thomas
to appoint a boundary commission to
settle the question for all times to
come.
During the last week in February of
this year an officer who went out from
Pagosa Springs arrested a man for lar
ceny On lands which the accused now
asserts is in the territory of New Mex
leo. The prisoner will maintain that
the arrest without a requisition was
illegal. 1t is also asserted that some of
the border citizens are receiving tax
bills from both New Mexico and Colo
RADIO and are voting in Colorado as we'll
as in New Mexico. One man on the
border, according to a letter received by
the attorney general of Colorado, votes
In New Mexico and holds office in Colo
RADIO. Attorney General Campbell and
State Engineer McCune will now in
vestigate the matter and try to deter
mine the boundary line definitely. Laws
and SURVEYS of the United Statds will
enter into the ase to a great extent.
At present the boundary is the 37th
parallel Of latitude but the question as
to exactly where the line as thus desig-
mated is located, has been raised.

There Should Be a Change.

1t is an anomaly that the six most
%populous cities and towns of New Mex
leo have Democratic mayors or Demo-
cratic town authorities. To be sure,
that condition of affairs will be mate
rally changed after the coming spring
election, for at least Albuquerque and
Santa Fe, if not every n of the other
four towns, will elect Republican may
ors. Still, that such a thing as six
Democratic city and town governments
is possible in a strongly Republican ter
ritory and in cities that are known to
be overwhelmingly Republican does not
speak well for the Republican voters,
whose apathy during local elections is
to blame for this state of affairs. 1t is
to be hoped that the miserable conduct
of town affairs in different New Mexico
towns, which are injured by Democrat
lc administrations (and they all are)
will serve to arouse the Republican
voters to action so that the local cleo
lions are not lost this spring merely by
default Of Republican voters failing to
turn ont to vote.
