SENTIMENT OR REASON,
WHICH SHALL PREVAIL?
[Communieated.l ]


Yes, my friends, saw that editorial
in the "Times" the other day and /
consider it an able statement of facts.
The editor differs from our expressed
opinion only in this; he claims that
where there is strong minority in IA
vor of license where the town votes no
that the law can be enforced effective
ly; well for arguments sake let us
admit that the editorial statement is
correct, and what would be the result
in our city ii we vote no. Al Heturn to
the conditions OF two years ago with
all its debaucheries lasting till the morn
ing hours, its corruption, and turning
of whiskey into dish water before our
very courts, and the venal system that
sent one of our ablest officers TO states
prison, and kept hundreds out of states
prison who should be there now.
| have seen in a dive in this city on
q Sunday, eighteen young men whose
ages ranged from sixteen to twenty
years, all more or less intoxicated, and
a couple Of young girls almost as maud
lin as the boys, acting as bar-tenders
Do you want these conditions and scenes
re-enaeted? These minors would be
shown outside the door If they went in
to a saloon. / have seen them ordered
out of saloon, and told not to come
back under the penalty Of being thrown
out. Did You ever see anyone put out
of the old prohibition dives as long as
their money lasted Go into any sa-
loon today and you viii see list Of
names of persons posted up, that our
city says shall not be given drop Of
intoxicating liquors, to such men this
means absolute prohibition, so far as
our city is concerned
The old dives generally disgorged the
crowds from twelve To one o'clock in
the morning, after the lights had gone
out and the police We're conspicuous by
their absence. Now under a well reg
ulated license law our saloons viii
close at seven and ten o'clock p. m.
respectively.
Now let us be honest about this, and
be honest with ourselves, sentiment and
soaring after the infinite and groupings
after the infathomable viii not avail.
Let us attend strictly to facts, and dis.
cuss facts as we find them. Now hon
estly, viii you meet on our streets on
d Sunday one man the worse for liquor,
where you met ten under prohibition.
Be honest in your answer, If you believe
a regulation Of this traffic has lessened
their number, then vote yes. /. If you
believe that the city should receive the
amount estimated by our city council
in their estimates for this year from Ii
censes, then vote yes. If you believe
that our lawyers and illegal sellers
should divide this amount between them,
then vote no. But honestly, between
ourselves, we know that the social and
business life Of our city is cleaner,
healthier and better today than ever
before, we also know that this license
question is a business proposition and
not sentiment, a condition and not a
theory, and the nearer we keep to an
open, honest business proposition the
cleaner will be our civic life and moral
surroundings.

Disagreements.

Quincy, Mass, March The Master
Traders and Builders Association Of
Quincy has taken measures looking
toward a settlement of the trouble be-
tween the Granite Manufacturers Asso-
citation and the Granite Cutters Union
At a meeting Wednesday evening a
committee was appointed, consisting Of
J. Winthrop Pratt, exMayor Charles NJ
Bryant, William II. Teasdale, II. Ev-
erett Crane, S. L. Williams, Charles Al.
Macfarland and Charles HI. johnson, to
endeayor to arrange for q meeting Of
the committees representing the Granite
Manufacturers Association and the
Granite Cutters Union to further dis
cuss the situation.
There is much anxiety among the
business men over the situation. Some
people predict that the fight viii be
long one, while others feel that it
win be short.
Members Of the Granite Cutters
Union take exception to some Of the
statements made by X. L. Jones, chair
man Of the Granite Manufacturers COM
mittee, in an interview published yes
terday National Secretary James Dun
can said to q reporter:
Mr.. Jones was in error when he said
that the granite cutters had asked for
10 per cent increase in the prices
paid under the old bill. The price list
which has just expired was made in
1900, To run Eve years. There was a
| provision Id that bill that the list might
be revised at the expiration Of three
| years, it being agreed that if any re-
vision took place, there should be no
strike, lockout or suspension Of work.
@At that time there was general
increase Of per cent in the bill Of
prices, III accordance with the provision
contained in the agreement. The new
bill called for an increase Of 4 per cent
over the prices contained in the 1900
agreement and 2 per cent in the prices
paid since 1908, and not 10 per cent,
as stated BY MIR. Jones'
/ "The prices paid by the granite manu-
facturers under the old price list have
been the lowest in New England, and
in fact, in the country. There are 156
| granite centres in this country, and the
| Quincy rate has been the lowest, $2.64
a day. The next lowest was at Vinal
Haven, Me, where the rate has been
| $3.50 a day. The new wage rate, a
So day minimum, has been accepted
at Vinal Haven.
The Quincy manufacturers have been
offered fair proposition, and there is
no reason why they should not pay
the same rate of wages as paid else
where.
/ When asked what would be the at
titude OF the granite cutters toward the
Master Builders Committee, Secre-
tary Duncan said.
I'VE, the granite cutters, stand on
no ceremony. We don't care who ar
ranges for a settlement of this strike.
We are perfectly willing to accept the
services of this committee"

Dark Tobacco Growers.

An enthusiastic meeting Of the
members of the Dark Tobacco Grow
erS' Association was held at Clarks-
vile few days ago. Between 500
and 1000 planters attended and 49,
600 pounds Of additional tobacco
was pledged to the association.
Felix Ewing, president of the
executive committee of the Dark
Tobacco District Planters Associa-
ton, submitted letter in regard to
dealing with recalcitrants. He
stated that members violating their
pledges by selling their tobacco
could be prosecuted. That he had
consulted able attorneys, both in
Tennessee and Kentucky, and was
assured that the charter, constitution
and pledges were legal and binding.
He stated that he had again con-
ferred with attorneys in regard to
prosecuting disloyal members, and
had been assured of the associations
right of action, and also the right
to enioin those parties from deliver
ing their tobacco. He has strong
belief in the retributive justice and
feels sure that members guilty of
violating their pledges will merit
the scorn and reproach of good citi-
Dens in and ont of the association.
He stated that in order to conduct
the association upon business prin-
ciples that it must take hold Of the
matter and prosecute those parties
without delay.
Mr.. Ewing's letter was loudly APP
plauded, and a resolution was passed
instructing the chairman to proceed
against members who violated theil
pledge without delay.
The following basis was adopted
as a rule to govern the next plant
ing, provided it is adopted by all
counties in the association For the
first so acres, 1la acres in tobacco
and 21a acres additional for every
so acres in the farm.

La Grippe is Epidemic Catarrh.

1T spares no class or nationality. The
l. cultured and the ignorant the aristo-
crat and the pauper, the masses and the
classes are alike subject to la grippe.
None are exempt-all are liable.
Grip is we'll named. The original
French term, la grippe, has been short
ened by the busy American to read
grip"
Without intending to do so, q new
word has been coined that exactly de-
scribes the case. AS II some hideous
giant with awful grip had clutched us
in Its fatal clasp.
Men, women, children, whole towns
and cities are caught In the baneful grip
of terrible monster.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? If SO, read the fol-
lowing letters.
These testimo nials speak for them
selves, as to the efficacy of Peruna in
cases of la grippe or Its after-effects:

Some five or six years ago had a

QUALITY is OUR MOTTO!
A NEW-STYLE CASKET.
An Innovation Which Does Away
with the UncQmfortable-
Appearing Coffin.

1t Is not so much what you pay for,
nor what you pay, but what you get
that needs your attention in the selec-
ton Of casket, for the genius Of the
twentieth century has been just as busy
in the way of funeral furnishings as in
other lines, until to-day the styles of
caskets are quite different from what
they were fifty years ago and changing
every day.
This is especially true in Metallic
Caskets, the old style heavy cast iron
goods having given away to the more
upto-date copper Innings which are
neatly fitted into the best grades Of
vanished or cloth covered work
One Of the latest designs as recently
brought out by the National Casket Co.,
Is what is designated as a Couch
Casket, which has the appearance Of
a comfortable couch when open, yet re-
tains all the requisite outlines of the
best styles in regular casket work when
closed.
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1905-01-27

The especial advantage Of the Couch
Casket is found In It's relief from that
stiffness usually noted in all ether de-
signs, and impressing the minds of the
friends as well as that of the family
with feeling of peace and restfulness
not known before.
If 1t is desired to retain all of the
preservation qualities as found in the
copper Innings, the Couch Casket can
be enclosed in a metal lined outside
box, which will then answer the double
purpose of preserving both the casket
as we'll as the remains.
All undertakers in the south should
be in position to furnish these latest
improved goods, as the National Casket
Co.'S large plant at Nashville, Tenn,
has been especially fitted up for fur
nishing them on short notice, and large
sales already proves that their efforts
are being appreciated by the best class
of people everywhere.
