"I sometimes think" concluded Mr..
Weiss, that the anti-saloon leaders are
not wholly sincere. This question Is
one that all liquor men would like
to see settled, for no man likes to
have his business made the subject Of
constant agitation. It looks as though
the anti-saIoon leaders desired simply
to keep this matter stirred UP, In or
der to draw contributions from their
supporting element and provide for
themselves steady positions and fat
salaries. There Is no reason why tho
liquor question should not be settled
once for all upon an equitable and
fair basis to all concerned"

Large numbers of Massillon people

the wife told her that she "had lived
in hell" ever since she had married
Shufelt. This colored person was pres
