LOCALIZED EVIL NO. IS.
License and Local Option Dis
cussed by a Canton Gentle
man..Sin Of fDrunke n ness.

The great evil of the legalized liquor
traffic is admitted by all good citizens
but for various reasons they fail to
zee that this great evil is one that is
kept in our midst by consent of our
national government, and by most OF
the states in said government; conse
quently the farce of getting rid of this
evil by working for local option laws
and not attacking the great national
political parties that have fastened this
evil upon us, and which today cater to
the liquor vote, and make the saloons
headquarters for most of their eau
cuses.
For christian men to waste their
time and money to get local option
laws, while they support at the ballot
box the very political parties which
uphold the legalization of the saloon
. looks about as foolish as to say that
the ten commandments or the sermon
, on the mount should be left to local
option. The truth Is, drunkenness ia
one of the greatest sins that g ID hates
and he has clearly said that mo drunk
ard shall enter the kingdom of
heaven" Therefore, all christians
/, should concentrate their ballots to de-
feat and destroy all political parties
that In any way propose to give a legal
\ existence to this ruinous business.
: The effort recently made in Penn
.srylvania by the good christian people
of the state to get local option was
aefeated just as the Clark local option
Z bill in Ohio was defeated In our last
legislature. Both these states are
strongly Republican states, and many
OF the good anti-saloon people have
been telling up that 'the Republican
party Is the only party that ever did
anything for temperance" Had these
good people protested at the ballot box
against voting for any party that up
held tax or license laws In the states
or nation, there would have been a
different result.
say most emphatically, that on
eyery occasion when the question
comes before the people for local op-
fIon, will always vote on the dry side
and believe that all voters who profess
a. be In favor of temperance or prohi-
billion should do the same But con-
tend that 1t is waste OF time and
money to get on our knees to ask OF the
Enm-ruled whiskey parties to give US
IocA option laws. and then support
6hnrn IN lcgalising the saloon In state

Preaching next Sabbath morning
by the Rev. w. r. Neff We will
look for a large congregation to
greet our former pastor. At this
service Mr.. Crssman will sing.
In the evening the topic will be
samuel. To remain true and un-
changed in the midst of universal
change is q true mark of sainthood,
provided that the old be divine and
the new human.
1t gives us great pleasure to wei
come to our community Rev. j.
w. Ryder who had part in the SER
vice last Sabbath morning and who
has consented TO preach to us some
time during the month. He is the
nephew of the Mr.. Ryder who once
occupied the pulpit of this church.
The Rev. J. A. Cole who preach
ed for us last summer, is expected
in Milford soon. We are expecting
to take our vacation this year at
Milford, also, and enjoy it listening
to friends who are so willing to give
their services while enjoying the
blessings of this summer Para

The topic for the outdoor meeting
at Union next Sabbath afternoon is
"Elijah on Mount Carmel" "
The anthem for next Sabbath
evening is 81 Have Set Watchmer

mony with the life of Samuel, who
was, indeed, a watchman in Israel.
The camp meeting at Mount Tabor

The Bluff House has undergone a
thorough fumigation and disinfec-
ton. Every room and every part
has been carefully gone over with
sulphur and formaldeheyde All
the cracks around the windows and
doors were filled with cotton and
the rooms, beds and bedding were
subjected to sulphur fumes sufficient
to kill any germs of disease which
might exist. After this precaution
It may be confidently said that all
danger of infection from anything
in the house is past. OF course, no
human foresight can prevent per-
sons who have been exposed else
where, and who conceal the fact,
from taking rooms. Such was the
cause of the former outbreak which
occasioned so much care and anxiety
and is one of the things not easily
prevented by any hotel proprietor.

It seems to be proven that vice
and crime in Philadelphia is pro-
tected by the police authorities.
The law and order society has been
able to discover large number Of
disorderly resorts and arrest the
keepers of the houses. The front
rooms were ostensibly cigar stores,
while in the rear we're other apart
ments devoted to a nefarious bust
ness. If the agents of the society
can find these resorts why cannot
the police DO so if they are really
desirous to suppress crime. Sooner
or later an outraged public viii rise
in its might and somebody who has
profited by this criminal business
will land behind prison bars. And
that win be as it should.

Boarders are arriving in consider
able numbers and the outlook for a
good season in August is encourag-
ing. The unfortunate circumstances
which threatened for a time to en-
tirely depIete the town have appar-
emily been overcome and it is hoped
that no further cause for anxiety will
arise. Every possible precaution
has been and will be observed to pre-
vent a recurrence of the trouble and
TO ensure the safety of our citizens and
guests. The original trouble was
adventitious and could not have been
foreseen. 1t would be strange indeed
If among so many people coming from
different localities and congregating
here there should not be an occasional
case of contagious disease introduced.
No especial blame can be attached If
such is the case and the only remedy
is to exercise care that it does not
spread, and to take the necessary
steps to exterminate it. All this has
been done and apparently with the
most gratifying success. The town
is in an excellent sanitary condition
and we think our guests and citizens
can rest assured that all danger is
past.

as cause FOR the extremely warm
weather this summer. One is, that
the earth is gradually drawing
nearer the sun and the other, that
there are riffs IN the mists which
envelop the sun like a cloud and
shut off its intense heat, and its
rays now beat down without that
obstruction. Possibly the one rea-
son is as valid as the other, but if
both should prove correct we may
expect rather warm times in the
future.

English seems to be becoming the
real universal language. At the
congress on tuberculosis held in
London it was noted that nearly all
the foreign delegates spoke in Eng

accent as to sarprise their hearers.

rivals as the language of science and
diplomacy as it does now of COM
