The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1906-12-27

When majority of the people of
this country conclude in earnest that
tkey want to reduce the harmful re-
suits of intemperance and drunken
ness itself to minimum it is at least
possible that they will give careful
consideration to the law now in op-
Grafton in South Carolina. That state
may not be a model that others
would be willing TO follow in most
matters, but her law governing the
sale of intoxicants has unmis,axablc
merit if the object be to prevent
drunkennss and resultant crime 1t
places the sale of intoxicants wholly
in charge of state officers, whose du-
ties are clearly specified. Those who
have made study of the liquor traf-
ic practically all agree that the pc
cuniary gain to saloon keepers Is the
real foundation of nearly all the
crime and evils that result from it.
Take away the opportunity for maxi
ing money and the serpent's fangs
are drawn. So long as private indvid-
uals are licensed to sell wbiskey on
payment of certain sum they have
strong incentive TO sell all they can
in order to make greater profit, and
violate all laws to accomplish thar
end. An officer appointed by the
state or county would have no such
incentive There would be an imme-
date end to finely furnished saloons
to attract business and it appears
reasonable to assume very great
decrease in drinking and drunken
ness. That is the effect it is said TO
have had in South Carolina. where
the law is giving good satisfaction.

WHAT is DOING
THE WORLD OVER.
A WORD ABOUT THE LEADING
EVENTS OF THE WEEK
The Town Topics Libel Case.

Tue trial Of Norman Hapgood, editor OF
Golfers Weekly, charged with criminal
libel IN publishing a paragraph relating TO
the connection OF Judge Deuel.. a New
York city magistrate, with Town Topics,
society journal, is developing many de-
tails relative 10 the conduct OF that publi-
cation. II appears that Town Topics
makes profitable business of blaekmail-
ing wealthy people OF society by compel
ling them to either pay for immunity or
submit to suggestive and harmful refer
enees 70 them in ITS columns. This has
been carried still further in The promotion
OF "tads and Fanciesn and "Amerioas
Smart Set copies Of which we're sold for
as much as $4,000 each to people Of wealth
as cover for eXtortion, lest unpleasant
truths be told OF them or tneir families.
Millionaires have "loaned" Col. Mann, the
publisher Of Town Topics several hum
dred thousand dollars, without security,
and much Of 1t has not been repaid except
In stock Of the company at the rate OF
1900 share, the par value OF which was
only 80. The Town Topics crowd made a
collection Of unsavory scandals and real
ized on them by demanding a price for
not publishing them. They also spoke
well Of society people in return for a con-
sideration. II is shown that Judge Deuel.,
while serving on the bench, has been an
active participant in this form OF business,
to Town Topics and reading
its proofs.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Clement Wins Voucher case.--Gran-
ite Cutters Lose Theirs.


I Supreme court sat AZ Montpelier Tues
day for e gapcral term. Several import.
ant decisions were rendered, the most inn
+ portant being IA the so-called Clement
+ vouchers case. This was mandamus pro-
+ ceedings brought BY Percival w. Clement
against Horace +. Graham, state auditor,
f 10 compel the auditor TO give the relator
access Tor the purpose Of inspecting his
books, vouchers. etc. in his office. Judge
! j. II. Watson read the opinion, which was
long, covering all the points raised by the
auditors attorneys.
Z The court held that the vouchers were
public records end that they were open for
the inspection OF persons acting in the in
terest Of public good, and when person
had sufficient personal interest 10 require
an inspection. Common law, statute laws
and decisions Of various states were CO.
piously quoted. The prayer OF the relator
was granted aud mandamus Was issued
directing the auditor TO grant inspection
OF the vouchers in question to the relator
and his agents and attorneys under such
reasonable rules and regulations as. he
may prescribe that are consistent with
public rights.
Judges Munson and Haselton dissented.
Judge Miles, who was attorney for Mr..
Graham on the case, is now one OF the
Judges in the supreme court. Mr. Glenn
enps attorneys were Cowles a. Moulton of
Burlington.
The Hardwick stone cutters lost their
case. Il was known on the docket as
Stale vs.. James Duncan and others. There
were ten cutters who mad been summoned
before the grand jury and there gave testi-
mony. Afterwards indictments were found
against them charging conspiracy. The
case went TO the supreme court and the
indictment was asked to be quashed on
the grounds thatN their constitutional
rights had been violated in that they aad
been compelled to give testimony against
themselves.
The court held that the evidence did not
disclose that the respondents were COM
PEELED to testify against their will or that
they had claimed their privilege IN the
matter. Reluctant witnesses could not be
so considered. Every man Was supposed
to be familiar with the laws and ignorance
OF them was no excuse. The plea was
held Is bad and the indictments adiudged
sufficient.
The court held that il the respondents
had been under arrest the matter might
be different, but stated clearly that a man
TO take advantage of the constitutional
right must lay claim to mis- privilege to /
begin with. The witness must obey
subpoena and appear, but the compelling /
OF witness TO testify rested with the
court. The case has never been tried and /
now returns to Caledonia county court TO
be heard on its merits. James Duncan, 1
one OF the respondents indicted, is the /
secretary OF the cutters association. The 4
case grew out Of certain workmen going 4
into business for themselves and doing /
their own work. II is alleged that their /
shops were declared unfair and they were
dropped from the union.

The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Omen Publicity.

Every bottle OF Dr. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
Yatory at Buffalo, N Y, has printed
upon Its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into Its composition. This fact
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines N a class all BIZ themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
II why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them To
their patients. They know what thew
are composed Of, and that the ingredients
arc those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DR..
Fierces Golden Medical Discovery, the
great stomach tonic. liver inyiQora tor.
heart regulator and blood purifier. nor his
sFavorfte Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
70 place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DIR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, Of proper
strength, Ia a better solvent and preserv-
alive OF the medicinal principles resid-
ing In our Indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further
more, that 1t possesses valuable medicinal
properties Of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and most efficient
antiferment.
Neither Of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful. habit
forming drug, as will be seen from
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the COM
position of DIR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writer's of the
several schools OF practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con-
stipatfon. Constipation is the cause of
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease. One rPelletr is gentle
laxative, and two a mild cathartic. Drug
gists sell them, and nothing is ujust as
good Easy to take as candy.
