control of our government the past
fifty years, and that both the DEM

as any one that the Republican
party could not, if it would, pass or
enforce prohibitory laws. You know
full well that half the brewers distll-

lot yesterday was counted with the
liquor traffic. You know that the only
way you can inform this government
that you are opposed to legalizinE the
liquor traffic is to stop voting with any
tax or license party, and vote for a
party that is fully committed to the
destruction of the whole traffic for bev-
erage purposes. You know there are
four million Christian voters in this
nation who profess to be opposed to
the liquor traffic, and that SO per cent

Some Legislation Defining
TheIr Duties.

Probate Judge M. e. Aungst returned
from Columbus, Saturday morning,
whei q he had been attending .he an
nual meeting of the probate judges as
ISOLATION. Mr.. Aungst stated that
there was nothing of particular inter-
est wanted in the way Of legislation.
except that the legislature would be
asked to more definitely define what an
imbecile is, as the present legal def
milton is rather vague.
The present law says that any one
not born idiotic. but since becoming
one, is an imbecile. The judges think
that under that construction there are
cases where persons are imbecile,
but cannot be declared so legally.
Some provision will, also be asked for
to dispose Of the dover estate of in
zane husoniids or wives. A: present
there Ia no such law.

The cause of having the legalized Ii
Quor traffic in the United States is
clearly shown by the following Incl
dent, which is reported to have taken
place on the New York Central rail-
way last fall, the day after the state
election.
The cars of that popular railroad
were well filed with passengers, and
as is quite natural, the discussion Of
the election just passed was freely in
dulged in. Among those engaged in
this conversation was preacher, with
quite a clerical appearance, who was
talking quite, eXcitedly and said to the
man seated by his side: mo sir, l
do not throw away my vote, but you
and every other man WHO voted the
Prohibition ticket lost your vote. |
believe the liquor traffic for beverage
purposes to be a curse. | believe in
prohibition and pray for prohibition" "
But vote for whisky" quickly an
swored his travelling companion.
You insult me, sir" replied the
preacher, in loud voice that startled
many of the passengers, and all eyes
were fixed upon the preacher. mo
man shall tell me that vote for whis-
ky. | have preached for twenty years
and my voice has always been against
the liquor traffic, but | do not believe
in bringing this question into politics,
| have voted with my party for more
than twenty years and do not propose
to throw my vote away by voting for
little insignificant party that never
elects it's candidates"
At once man who had been sitting
near the two referred to, stepped for
ward, and looking the preacher square
ly in the face, said: Excuse me, sir,
did l not hear you say you We're a
preacher"
"You did, sir"
"And that you believe in prohibi-
tion?"
"Yes, sir. I have preached for twen-
ty years and / believe the liquor traffic
is curse of our nation, and that all
liquor sellers should be behind the
prison bars"
"You also said that yesterday you
voted for the candidates of the old
Republican party, which is a license
party"
"Yes, sir, that is my party. never
voted any other ticket"
"Do you know that your party favors
license and is opposed to prohibition. -
The preacher quickly replied, I don't
think the question has any thing to
do with political parties"
"You may think so but did any saloon
man, or liquor seller vote the same
ticket that you did,"
"Yes, of course, thousands of them. y
"Do you think that a single liquor
seller in the state voted the Prohibi-
