An Open Letter to Senator Till
man


letter TO Senator Tillman, in which
he protests against the intr0duc-
tion of the tOm-'Om and the splri,
of faction into the movement by
which the merits of the dispcnsary
are to be tested. y DIR. Crumcr
has written one of the best lettcrs
on the dispensnry question we have
ever read, and we regret that we
haven! space for it all, but can
only give several brief extracts:
"Gov. Hoch of Kansas tells me.
"We are reading u new civiliza-
tion here. | believe there are
more than II quarter Of million
young people who have never seen
saloon. Prohibition is the only
logical attitude of law toward the
liquor traffic, and The whole cnun-
try will some day recognize the
fact What sort of civilization
are we rearing in South Carolina!
Our supreme court, in It's famous
decision upholding the constitu
tionality of the diSponsary law,
laid down the following rs u fun
damentnl proposition md said that
If this proposition is not true the
law Is unconstitutional: That
liquor, in lis nature, is dangerous
to the morals, good order, health
and safety of the people, and is not
to be placed on the same footlug
with the ordinary commodities of
life, such AZ corn. wheat, cotton,
tobacco, potatoes, etc" Kansas
says to her children, The liquor
traffic Is dangerous and ought to
be prohibited. " South Carolina
says to the thousands of school
children, "Thc liquor traffic is
dangerous to the morals, good
order, health and safety of the
people, and therefore we will sell
liquor and get all the money we
can for the schOols.' You NAV
call it cant if you will, but in eff
feet here Is IN assldious attempt to
wed public education to the liquor
traffic. 1t is an unholy alliance
and God will put them asunder.
We cannot afford to lower the
ideals of our schools. We must
not poison the fountain that nour-
ishcs the heart and brain of our
people.
The business of the saloon keep.
or was becoming dlsrepntuble in
this State, and saloon keepers
were beginning to find it difficult
to Justify the business in the eyes
of their children. The dispcnsary
system attempts to make the traf
tic respectable and reputable.
How can the children in our schools
answer the sophistry of the argu-
ment, that whatever contributes
to the support of the schools is
good and wise! l lay it down as
little short of an axiom, that any
restrlctive scheme that takes con,
troll of traffic that is dangerous
to the morals of the people, and
controls it in such q way as TO
make it reputable, in Il vicious and
dangerous scheme.
Senator IIllman, the dispensary
system cannot help you, and you
can only help it temporarily. 1t
is wrong in principle and corrupt
IN practice, and its doom has been
written. BY throwing your pow-
erful influence against the present
agitation you may save the dispen-
sary for a while, but it is tottcrins
and must fall. 1t Is fortunate for
you that your reputation rests up
on achievements that will endure.

Love never stops to count the
court costs.
To reach the top, get out Of the
rut and climb.
Graftcrs believe in addition for
themselves and substraction from
others.
He who thinks the world owes
him living tries to overdraw the
account.
There is vast difference be-
tween making your mark and maxi

AS DANGEROUS
PEOPLE DEMAND PROTECTION
Leading Organization Of Motorists In
San Francisco Says Speed
Tests Are Menace to
Public safety

While the speed maniacs" dash
gaily up and down the public streets
Of Los Angeles and the citizens de-
mand protection no movement has as
yet come from officials to give that
protection.
Even the automobile club of San
Francisco, the representative organiza-
tion of Northern California as far as
motoring goes, has taken up the ques-
tion and put itself on record as against
the speed maniacs."
Mayor McAleer has received a letter
from this organization in which a
strong argument is made for law and
order. The club deplores the numer-
Gus so-called speed tests and "endur-
ance tests" which are being made be-
tween San Francisco and Los Angeles
by those infected by the speed mania,
and the communication states that the
club will aid in every way officials of
cities and counties along the route in
enforcing the law and putting stop
to the present recklessness.
The route taken by the record chas-
ers'' leads through the dangerous
Casitas pass, where so many accidents
and runaways have occurred and which
the ranchers have sworn to protect
against speed maniacs." This action
of the San Francisco club, local Of
fcials say, will be gratefully received
by the citizens of the entire state and

WOMAN BELIEVES
SHE HAS NO STOMACH
Escapes From Lunatlc Asylum In Eng.
land and Spends Fifteen Days
Without Food

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Aug. 11.-For fifteen days
a young woman named Armstrong, tht
daughter of a well-known Manchester
resident, roamed about the highlands
of the Tat and Siddle district, between
Macclesfield and Buxton, without any
food whatever. Nothing but water
passed her lips.
Her pereginations were confined to
the night time, the days being spent
in hiding. Miss Armstrong feared dis
covery and reincarceration in Maccles-
field asylum, from which she escaped.
She had been placed in the institu-
ton owing to an extraordinary delu-
sion that she had no stomach, and
therefore required no food. In all other
respects she was quite sane, and she
seized the first opportunity toget away,
She took all precautions to evade ar
rest, including the assumption of a
disguise and when at last lhe was
found asleep at the side of brook by
policeman and locked up as a
vagrant she gave false name and
address and received without demur a
sentence OF seven days Imprisonment
She evidently knew that If she re-
manned out OF the hands of the asylum
authorities for fourteen days the orig
inal committal order would have ex-
pired.
Among the many local people who
took an interest In the case was the
vicar of Hurdsheld, and he formed the
opinion that the alleged tramp and Miss
Armstrong were one and the same
person.

Demand Protection
Citizens OF many sections Of the city
are demanding that the laws be en-
forced. 1T Is just as reasonable to all
low burglars and footpads to go un-
punished" declared citizen yester-
day, "as to allow these speed crazed
individuals to dash up and down the
streets Of the city.
They may have money, plenty Of It,
but that does not give them n right to
monopolize the streets. We all have
an equal right to the streets and to
equal protection before the law. A
rich speed maniac kills somebody. Is
he arrested and locked in jail? Not
much The policemen bow to him and
say Pass, my lord It Is next to i'm
possible to get warrant out against
them.
Unless these speed crazed individ-
uals are curbed accidents will be hap
pening every day. We must have pro-
tection."

j gentleman whose service have
been of great value to the company
which till retains him in its employ,
but in New York, WHITTIER he goes

II is regretted by many Clarksburg-
ers that he is to leave this city.
Mr.. Keller was former manager
of the c6mpany's store here and
went from here to Huntington to
take charge of the company's store
there. He is experienced in the
business and possesses that enter
prise and business acumen that guar
antee ever greater success than ever

THE OFFICE boy
VERY PLEASING

Nixon & Zimmerman presented
at the opera house last night ct he
Office Bow with Frank Deshon IN
the title role. This piece was the
starring vehicle of Mr.. Frank Dam
iels two wears ago and naturally Mr.
Deshon, in playing the part, comes
in for comparison with Mr.. Daniels
1t cannot be saiGlP however, that ME
Deshon suffers much by the COM
parison. He is a clever, capable
comedian. with his own particular
brand of humor, and much to his
credit he does not attempt to imi-
tate Mr.. Daniels.
The company was a large one and
all of them we're good. The "peach"
chorus was bevy of pretty girls
handsomely gowned, with good
voices. as well as beauty. The piece
was given an excellent production
and proved satisfactory in every re-
spect.
Mr.. Deshon is quite a favorite IN
this section of the country and his
yearly visits are always awaited with
pleasurable expectation.
For the third or fourth time the
went out last night, came
on and went out again several times
The frequency with which this oc-
ours gives rise to the belief that
some one is either playing joke on
the management or revenging them
selves for some private grievance.
No one seems to explain why this
occurs. and it might prove serious
Joke should the alarm of fire be
started with crowded house IN
pitch darkness.
All next week the Bennett-Moul-
ton repertoire company viii hold the
boards presenting popular melo-
dramas at popular prices. 1t IS one
Of the oldest repertoire companies
and they viii doubtless be
well patronized.
