At the recent extra session Of
the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
the Hon. l.. Lee Plummer; a lead
ing Republican member, in a
speech advocating the passage
by the Legislature of a local
option bill, said:
From the standpoint of a
Republican | believe it is good
politics. Upon the adjournment
of this session of the Legislature,
most, if not al, of the subjects
of reform that we are called to
take up the question Of local
option we will have nothing to go
before the people on this year as
a campaign issue except that we
have been good and have at last
given the people some things
they have demanded.
This won't do; we must have
something else, some live issue,
not something that is over and
done with. And then, the party
has been driven to grant reforms
we are now considering. We
are responsible for legislation;
why wait to be driven to grant
the people the right to say
whether or not a saloon or licen-
ed hotel shall be planted in their
midst.
The temperance sentiment is
growing all over the country.
Indiana at present has a Govern
or elected on the issue, and who
knows but what we Pennsylvania
Republicans may lose the Cover
norship next fall on this same
issue, if we fail to handle it
wisely. | tell you it is time for
the party to voluntarily give the
people what they want, and not
to be driven to it with a club.
AS | said before, from a Re-
publican standpoint | think it
good politics to take up this ques-
ton. The large body of temper
ance people in this State are Re-
publicans; they love their party
and want to vote its ticket, but
they also have their views on the
liquor question, and sooner or
later, if necessary, they will turn
against the party and defeat it
to get what they want.
Why drive them to that
length? Why not meet them
half way and give them what
they want and then hold them
fast to the party? We need
them, whydrive them away from
US by continuously ignoring their
demands on this subject?
Il tell you the time is ripe for
the party to take up the question
and act on it. | am acting on
the subject solely from the stand
point Of a stalwart Republican
and for what ! sincerely believe

and Mrs. Moses Kaufman, it was as
certained recently, have shaken the
dust of Sioux Falls from their feet
Their destination has been kept a pro-
found secret. They were quietly driven
from the county Jail to a train, and it
is expected they will proceed to some
remote place where they will be free
from annoyance, and where they can
recover from the severe strain to
which they have been subjected the
past two weeks. 1t is probable they will
not return to Sioux Falls until the end
Of summer or late in the fall, when

police, and a fourth man whose iden-
tity is unknown, were arrested by q
posse of farmers at Richfield. Wash
ingtOn county, after three battles
with revolvers and rifles, in which.
however, only one man was injured.
That the criminals had a national
police reputation was learned at the
Milwaukee central police station,
where they were taken by Sheriff
Adam Held of Washington county

Joe Casey, record unknown.
The trouble started at a merry-go-
round on a vacant lot owned by Henry
Laubenheimer. Laubenheimer acci-
dentally kicked a coat which one of
the four men had placed on the
ground. The lapel flew open, disclos-
ing two revolvers and several drills
and files. such as safe blowers use, In
an inside pocket.
The mans companions drew revolv-
ers and fired several shots. One went
through the hand of Willy Schultheis,
a bystander.
The four men ran, but were not pur-
sued by the crowd, which was awed
by the weapons. Later the quartet
went to the barn Of Laubenheimer, the
farmer with whom the trouble had
started. and when he ordered them
away they fired several shots OF him,
one of which narrofly missed him.
They then ran to the station, wnere
they were pursued by the aroused
farmers. They barricaded themselves
in the station and 40 or so shots were

it was discovered that Mrs. Frank
Machacok, former known wom-

Mrs. Machacok was the heroine Of a

Friedek deserted her, and with her
daughter she was living in a low-class

tory charge.
