Epiqrammahc Sayings.

The question is not shall we have sa
looms or drug stores, but shall we have
salooDs and drug stores?
\ vote to legalize the saloon business
is not vote against illegal selling by
drug stores.
If more liquor is sold without saloons
than with, why is the liquor dealers as
ISOLATION squandering so much money to
overthrow the law?
If drinking men can get all they want
to drink now, why are they so ANXIOUS to
establish more drinking places?
If men drink too much now, what rea-
son have you to think they will drink
less with open saloons?
If saloon keeper pays $500 license
each year, where does he get the 500?
Which would be best, to send thou
sands of dollars each year to Milwaukee
for beer, or keep the money at home to
enrich the people of Van Buren, county?
IL you vote to grant that druggist a
saloon license, how are you going to COM
pei him to take out license?
Why are the brewers and distillers OF
Milwaukee, Detroit and other cities so
much interested in the welfare of Van
Buren, county citizens?

Local Option Committee Speaks.

The voters of the county will, without
doubt, rightly Judge and place news
sheet which has made or will make its
appearance the last day or two before
election. 1t is called 1.-The Public Lead
er, and is put out by the friends of the
liquor cause and open saloon. 1t con
tains throughout most specious argu-
ments calculated to deceive, and de-
signed to overthrow the forcible arraign-
ment of the traffic, as it has been brought
to the people by our speakers and press
in the last few weeks.
One fact alone will show the charac-
ter of the whole-the charges that the
expenses of the Rogers trial were several
thousand dollars, whereas the truth is
that they scarcely reached into the hun
dreds. But apart from the amount ex-
pended, every law-abiding citizen feels
no hesitation when it comes to matter
of expense in the enforcement of right
eous laws. We send our sheriff into other
states to bring back the horse thief or
murderer, and ought not to hesitate
when some small expense is involved in
the prosecution Ol OltuueIS dBdluSl bhC
local option law. 1t has been shown so
conclusively that the last II years have
brought only financial gains to our
county; the value of land has increased,
and drunkenness and poverty have been
so largely done away with that it would
seem unnecessary to have to go over
these points more at length
The campaign is now about closed. 1t
simply remains to warn our readers
against such efforts to deceive and over
throw the law. Let the wholesome and
beneficial law remain on our statute
books, and its enforcement 60 on, as we
are sure it will, even more etfectually
than before. Answer the subterfuges
and all other attempts of the saloon
power with vote on election day for the
law. Vote yes"

ing for such liquor for any of these law
full purposes, the date of each sale, the
amount and kind of liquor sold to each
person, and the purpose to which the
same was To be applied, as stated by the
purchaser. which book shall be kept in
the store OF the druggist, and shall be
open to all persons for examination dur
ing all business hours"
This is the law that is violated by
druggists in this county, not the local
option or prohibitory law.
| submit that the local option law
should not be repealed or the saloons re-
turned To this county because druggists
violate the general laws governing them.
The local option law, as a law, is as
we'll enforced in this county to-day AS
any other law on the statute books of
this state.
IL the drug law is not enforced there
is no good reason for it.
The return of the open saloon will not
change laws governing drug stores.
Open saloons are not good regulators.
A drug store cannot be closed by
placing an open saloon by the side of it,
1t will not make an honest druggist
out of dishonest one. If druggist
will sell liquor illegally in this county
now, he will also sell it illegally with the
open saloon by his side.
The complaint against drug stores
comes to US from all over the state of the
illegal sales made. The mayor of Battle
Creek, where there are plenty of saloons
last December issued a proclamation
against drug stores which were selling
liquors to all ages and sexes.
Do not be deceived. If drug store
selling liquor illegally is nuisance, then
by placing an open saloon along with IT
we will have only doubled the nuisance
Laws cannot be made strong enough
to enforce themselves. The drug law is
a strongly made law. 1t can admit OF
but one construction. 1t ought to and
can be enforced. 1t only needs work.
persistent effort, stiff back bone, and
an earnest purpose to make it as well
enforced as any other law of this state,
not only in this county but in any county
in the state.
A return of the open saloon will not
aid in any way to enforce it.
1t is said that waiter placed before a
guest at hotel plate of Goldfish balls
The guest had never seen anything like
them before, but knowing it was some.
thing to be eaten, cut one of them open
and got Whit of it. He Immediately
called the waiter to him and said: Take
this biscuit away, there is something
dead in it"
Citizens, let us keep the open saloon
out of Van Buren, county. There is
something dedd in them"

How D. j. Dillon Was Killed.

The Ripon Wis Commonwealth con-
tanned the following account of the
wreck 10 which ID. j. Dillon lost his life:
The wreck which caused the death of
Fireman ID. j. Dillon and the injury of
two other trainmen, occurred on the
Northwestern road a mile west of the
depot in this city, Saturday forenoon,
March IA. 1t was, perhaps, the most
disastrous wreck that ever occurred in
this vicinity.
The train was an extra freight and
had pulled into Ripon from the west
with portion of its train, being obliged
to leave the balance at Princeton on &C
count of the sharp curves between Ripon
and Princeton. The crew had set their
train out here and started for Princeton
with the engine and caboose to get the
remainder of the train, the engine back
ing up. Just after passing the Soule
crossing, and while running at high
rate of speed, the tender left the track
and shortly afterwards the engine left
the rails. After tearing up the road bed
for about thirty rods, the engine tipped
over on its side in the ditch, carrying
the caboose with it.
All the trainmen except the engineer
who jumped Just as the engine went
over, were aboard Fireman Dillon APP
parently jumped too late and was caught
between the engine and tender, where
he remained over two hours; suffering
untold agonies, before those who had
gathered were able to release him. He
was conscious all the time and his suffer
ings were relieved to an extent by DR..
+. A. Everhard, who had been hastily
summoned. He was removed to the
home of Vernon Atkins and every atten-
ton given to him. One Of his legs was
badly bruised and several of his ribs
were broken. He was very low when re-
moved to the house, but afterwards re-
vived to such an extent that hopes were
entertained for his ultimate recovery.
Later it was discovered that one of his
lungs was punctured and the doctor gave
no hope He died at IL 40 Sunday morn
ing. He was about twenty-five years old
and his home was in Paw Paw, Mich,
where his remains were taken Monday
morning. He had been in two other
wrecks and had made up his mind to
abandon railroading and go to his home
in Michigan. This was to have been his
last trip, according to statement made
by him after the accident.

About the Temperance Journal

We have Just learned by conversation
by phone from Montcalm county, that
the fraudulent Temperance Journal that
we so thoroughly exposed has appeared
in that county with the same vile body
with a new head. Ii is the same old
snake, body and tail, but has changed
it's head to that of THE Public Leader"
We are not sure that it will appear in
other counties under that name. For
the sake of deceiving and preventing us
from heading it off under that name
they may change the name for each
county; but you will know it by the fact
that it has Bishop Potter's picture on
the front page, and the purported inter
view with Judge Hooker of the supreme
court.
1t will have one article about your
county. Substantially the same facts
will be in the article about all the coun-
ties. 1t will simply be changed little
to adapt them to the county where the
paper circulates; but the other articles
of the paper are the same, in many in
stances the identical articles, word for
word and dot for dot, that have APP
peared year after year in this spurious
journal.
This prepared interview with Judge
Hooker appeared about 10 years ago in
a Calhoun county paper. He denied it
within a week through the Calhoun
county papers and has been denying it
ever since, but they have been publish
inc it over and over.
Enclosed find a copy of letter he
gave me two hours ago. He said in con
versation, IL have never seen the time
when | was willing to take stand
against local option" This lie is ID years
old. On the same page Bishop Potter is
quoted, and he is out in the public prints
in favor Of local option. The lies of the
paper ard the arguments, if they are
worthy Of the name, have been answered
a thousand times. They are so old and
rotten that they stink.
Do everything in your power to head
off the influence of this paper, for it will
be sent broadcast all over your county
either by mail or by agents. Prompt
and thorough action will be necessary in
order to prevent it from defeating US.
Yours truly,

Local Option.
Just Before the Battle.

Next Monday, April g. the voters OF
Van Buren, county will again determine
10y their ballots whether the open saloon
with its inevitable crowd of drunken
rowdies shall be allowed on the streets
OF our fair villages. This is the issue
plainly and simply. Paid agents of the
wholesale liquor dealers of the state cir
culated the petitions for the saloon, but
during the two months since this work
was done not plea has been made nor
reason given by them publicly for their
desire to again saddle this iniquity upon
us. Opponents of the saloon accepted
the gage of battle promptly, and have
\ openly challenged the friends of the
saloon to debate the issue with them, or
TO show the benefits that would result
from the change desired The only re-
ply and argument made has been to re-
peat grossly exaggerated statements of
druggists of the county. To the peril
nent inquiry as to how the admission of
the saloon will stop illegal liquor selling
by the drug stores, they are unable to
make reply. They have no argument
which they are not ashamed to make in
public, where an opportunity exists for
reply Five years ago they issued,
Just before election, circular full of
false and misleading statements. 1t is
rumored that the same tactics are TO be
repeated this year, and that the circular
is to be sent by mail, too late for sue
cessful refutation. Every intelligent
voter will justly suspect the truth of
any statement made under those circum-
stances.
In my letter of few weeks ago | re-
ferred to the fact that the half million
dollars invested in real estate in this
county last year was invested largely be-
cause this was prohibition county. AS
a further proof of this / quote the fol-
lowing, taken from last Thursdays
Grand Rapids Herald, paper that has
heretofore had no item friendly to local
option, but has published several favor
ing the saloon. The South Haven cor
respondent of that paper says: "Those
who are in favor of continuing the pres
ent law are receiving the aid of the
transportation lines, as well as the ma
Jorlty OF the people OF Chicago and st.
Louis, who have invested in real estate
or spend the summer here. Hundreds
of letters have been received the last
week asking that every effort be used to
continue the local option law stating
that South Haven, with all her drug
stores, is far superior to any city with
the open saloon, and saying that if the
open saloon does come, it will disqualify
the town as a summer residence for their
families" Does Van Buren, county want
TO trade its summer resorters for the sa-
loon?
Finally then, for the sake of continued
prosperity, for the sake of morality and
righteousness, for the sake of the seven
thousand boys and girls of Van Buren,
county, our own bright, loving and low
able boys and girls, vote yes" for prohi-
bition.

OUTBREAK in CHINA.

DUPLICITY OF EMPRESS DOWAGER.
While Issuing Ediets Commanding Reforms
ON western Lines She IL Secretly Send
Ing Instructions to Prohibit Their
Inauguration.

Victoria, B. C., March 6.--Accord-
ing to advices received from Pelin
an outbreak, and with 1t carnival Of
murder exceeding the boxer out
break, is regarded by many as i'm
minent. Correspondents of Chinese
papers at Pelin are sending columns
telling of the duplicity of the en-
press dowager and Of the threatened
outbreak. The North China Daily
News, one of the best informed jour
mails of the east, has received advices
that the empress dowager and Yung
Lu, the grand chancellor, are known
to be aiding the movement Of Tung
Flu Hsiang in Kansu and, on the au-
thority of Chinese "of high liter
airy rank" at Pekin, a Shanghai pa
per says that while the empress dow
ager is issuing edicts commanding
reforms on western lines and pre-
tending to initiate reform, she is Sc
cretly sending instructions to vice
roys and governors prohibiting the
Inauguration of foreign methods in
their jurisdiction. The empress is
also said to be sending notifications
to some viceroys that Tung Flu
Hsiang is to be aided in marching his
army to Peldn to escort Pu Chun,
son Of Prince Chun and exheir ap-
parent to the throne. On their ar
rival Kwong Hsu, the present en-
peror, is to be made away with, says
the Chinese correspondent. The rep
resentatives of the various foreign
powers and all foreigners in the cap
ital, as well as in the provinces, are
to meet the same fate without dis
tinction.

HOW DIVORCE WAS OBTAINED.


Chicago, March 6.-For perjuring
himself in order that he might OBJ
tain a divorce from his wife, Henry
Freye, a church and Young Mems
Christian association worker, was
found guilty by a jury in Judge
Brentano's court yesterday and SEN
fenced to an indeterminate term in
the penitentiary. In addition a fine
of $1,000 was levied against him.
To induce Mrs. Freye to leave him, it
is claimed Freye invented a fictitious
parsonage, whom he claimed to have
married in his teens. He told Myra
Freye that she (Myra) was, there
fore, not his legal wife. By this
means Mrs. Freye was thus induced
to 20 to Ohio and, while there,
Freye instituted divorce proceedings.
At the present trial it was shown
that Mrs. Freye had lived with Freye
up to month of the time he filed
the divorce bill, in which 1t was
stated that his wife had deserted him
two years ago.
