LOCALIZED EvlLs--No. 90.
BY John Danner.

~ s F.
Every intelligent voter knows that
both the Republican and Democratic
parties in Ohio are counting the saloon
vote and are pledged to uphold the
same system of taxation or license for
the perpetuation of the traffic Neither
party as now organized can champion
the prohibition Of said traffic. If either
party should take the position to OPP
pose the saloon, said party would at
once lose every saloon voter and that.
would mean defeat. The Dow tax law
was put forth by the Republican party
to protect and legalize the saloon in
Ohio. George b. Cox of Cincinnati,
one of the leading saloon men of that
city, is one of the main supporters Of
the Republican party and any effort
put forth by temperance men in said
city to have this abominable law re-
pealel would bring upon their heads
the anathemas and curses of the party
leaders. E.
This being the condition of things,
we find that temperance men in said
party must submit, or be cursed within
their own party. When one of their
great leaders got up in their state
convention and said: 1--WE point with
just pride to the Dow law" the senti-
ment was loudly applauded and We
know that the leaders of said party
fear such man as George B. Cox
more than they do regiment of dea-
cons and preachers within their ranks
well knowing that said preachers ano
deacons will support the party ticket
no difference what they do to legalize
and protect said traffic.
But the moment they attempt to do
anything for the punishment or sup
preston of said traffic, every liquor
man in their ranks, would jump out
Of the party traces. The unconstitu-
| tional Dow tax law was compromise
made to hold within the Republican
party the saloon voters and at the
same time feel sure of the anti-saloon
work tolerably well, but now the lead
ers begin to find out that such double
dealing will not work among honest
people The demands Of the liquor
law are for the legalization of the
liquor business, while the preachers
and churchmembers want the saloon
abolished. And this Dow tax law was
put forth to keep within the same party
the liquor voters and the church vot-
ers and thus far the great bulk of the
church voters have been submitting,
but very soon they will realize that
they must do one Of two things, viz:
stop preaching against the saloon or
stop voting with George B. Cox.
"Ye cannot serve two masters" has
been said by one who is wiser than
any political trifier and it is quite cer-
tain that church members cannot con-
tinue to traduce the saloons and then
go to the polls and vote with the sa-
loon keepers to keep tax and license
parties in power.
1t is high time that the good peo-
pie of Ohio arise in their might and
condemn at the ballot box any politi-
cal party that will blow hot and CO.
at the same time on this most vital
question, and utter at the same breath
Good Lord and Good Devil"
IL Christians and anti-saloon vot-
ers continue to vote the same ticket

mURDERER's SHOTGUN EoUNr
Weapon Used to Kill Farmer Jackson
Discovered in Greek.


Ottawa, Kan, Feb 16-The missing
shotgun with which Eliza Jackson, a
young Franklin county farmer. was
murdered Thursday morning, has been
found hidden in the water Of Appanoose
creek, four miles from the scene of the
murder.
jackson was shot through the head
as he lay asleep in his bed, beside his
wife. His slayer entered the house and
approached close to the bedside. taking
aim by the moonlight, which came
throuhg a window on the side on
which Mrs. Jackson was sleeping
Following the murder, the absence
from the neighborhood of Otto lnman,
a young farmland and nephew OF the
murdered man, was noted. luman nad
been staying at the home of Jackson's
brother, and he disappeared on We'd
nesday, the day before the murder. A
shotgun was also missed from the
premises the day following the murder.
This is the gun which was found,
weighted down with a rock, in the Wa
ters of the creek. The discovery was
accidentally made by boy, who
CHANGED to be passing along the bank.
Inman was found by the neighbors
late Thursday evening emerging from
the brush about three miles from the
scene of the murder. II was arrested
by the constable, and is now in jail at
Ottawa. He claims he went to Kansas
City Wednesday, to inquire for a valise
to be sent him by express from Texas
His story is that he returned Thurs
day afternoon and was walking across
from the nearest station to the Jackson
home when he was arrested. His story
has been found to be untrue in several
details. A message from the Kansas
City police says that Inman's grip has
been in the express office there since
December 30, and that it has never
been called for. Inman's tracks have
been followed along the rough country
east of the Jackson home and away
from the vicinity of the station. where
Inman says he boarded a freight train
to steal ride Inman was arra1gned
on a charge Of murder in the first de-
gree.
No motive can be supplied for the
murder A young woman may have
supplied it, jackson had no enemies.
Imam had been in the neighborhood
about five months. coming to the coun-
ty from Texas. He is said to have
once done time in an indian reforma-
tory for arson. The officers do not
think Mrs. Jackson knows anything
more than she has told about the muir
der. though many of the neighbors
think differently. Mrs. Jackson says
she was aroused by the sound of the
shotgun, and when she found her nus
band dead she arose and dressed, and
went to inform the neighbors. As she
went out, she says, she saw a form
pass the window.
