UNKNOWN ENEMY
Pursues an orrvliie Man Whose shop
Is Dynamlted-tteId UP, Robbed
and BrutaiIy Beaten.

Orrvllle, o., July 9.-An unknown
enemy is pursuing with spiteful
vengeance. Allan Longenecker, q
young blacksmith of this city. Friday
night Longenecker's blacksmith shop
was blown to atoms by two dynamite
explosions. He was in the shop but a
brief time before and narrowly escap-
ed destruction. Last night on his re-
turn to Orrville, Longenecker was
held up short distance from the city
by two masked robbers who showed
a pistol under his nose and then pull
ed him out of the buggy He was
robbed of $12 and a gold watch. The
robbers then brutally assaulted him,
beating him until he was senseless.
A kid glove was forced down his
throat, almost strangling him. After
reyiving, Longenecker was commanded
to hustle to town. which he did with
alacrity and reported the robbery to
the police. Two bloodhounds were se-
cured from Lodi and they followed the
robbers a half mile to the Wabash
railroad, where trace was lost. Later
in the night the home of James Ear
ing at Creston, was robbed by two
thieves. Creston is on the Wabash
and the same thieves probably did the
Creston job,
There is no clew to the Longenecker
robbers or to the fiend who dynamit-
ed the shop. He is waiting on a girl
who has other suitors and it is thought
jealousy may have inspired both the
dynamiting and robbery.

said iron consisted of stones, bricks,
cinder scrap, burnt metal and dirt
That as soon as he discovered that
said iron was not as represented he
demanded a return of the money paid
but instead defendant directed him
to hold said iron and that he did so
hold it for a period of one year ana
then sold it at the rate of Sc per ton
The plaintiff says he was damaged

for said iron and the price obtained

by the score all over the state and
announce that the pass is of more
value to them than the Office and the

cial election at considerable cost to
the tax payers.

Il 'Hey act IN concert. But would these
say that prohibition does not prohibit?
| recognize that no law wholly pro
hibits no matter how severe it NAV be.
| don I suppose General Funston alto
gether succeeded in establishing an alb
solute state of prohibition in San Fran
cisco. However. he came so near If
that the results emanating from that
quarter were practically a negligible
quantity, and one of the leading cdi-
tors Of the city said, 1.-The city is free
from disorder, and virtually free from
crimes of violence" Again I am glad
to quote from an editorial in the Adj
vertlser (this time of July 14thl in
which reference is made to the statr,
in San Francisco regarding the saloon
and this language is used, "What the
law had done for four months, the law
has IN Its power to do permanently.
Prohibition prohibits if those respon-
sible for the enforcement of law desire
to have it so. Prohibition of boodling
in Missouri did almost nothing to pro-
hibit until Joseph Folk was made
prosecuting attorney. Prior to that
time the boodlers We're high handed.
and secrecy was regarded as good form
rather than as necessary. In fact. null
tltudes knew of what was going on but
supposed there was no help possible.
Then came Folk with courage, honesty
and determination. Threats availed
not. Promises did not allure Political
fortunes We're ignored for the sake of
duty. The boodlers were punished.
Prohibition with a Folk to enforce it is
all any community needs in regard to
the liquor traffic. This is being found
out in Missouri at the present moment
where the high license idea of control
has not controlled until Gov. Folk said
the laws that are must be executed. !
Kansas City, Kan, is having prohibi- i.
ton now because the proper official has
said that prohibition shall prohibit
The trouble ism t that there is lack
of public sentiment. The existence of
the laws are conclusive on that point !
The trouble is with temporizing Off .
cials. On one side is public sentiment |
resting, or lazily sleeping, trusting those
honored with public position to do their
duty by the law On the other side
are the forces of evil who trust for
nothing. Their eyes are wide open and
they are in politics up to their chins.
They are aggressive and insistent. The
official is the plate who stands between
the laws crucifxion and its triumph.
He has the power to save and he has
power to kill. He listens to the clamor
of the evil He prefers to give right
decision perhaps, but at last he washes
his hands and tries to lay the blame for
everything on public sentiment He
turns over his charge to be crucifed,
and says: I can DO nothing alone and
shall at least save myself and my own
political fortunes. He has betrayed his
trust. True, public sentiment was
asleep. But, faithful official can prod
public sentiment until she awakes. He
is the only man assured in position to
do so. But he can. Though she sleep
so soundly as to appear to be dead, he
can wake her. Folk has proved this in
a striking way.
