A Parkersburg State journal
man who stepped into the Spencer,
at Point Pleasant, recently was
very much surprised TO have the
entire establishment handed over

he did not know what he would
do with anything 80 fine. Gould

he could hand the hostelHy back.
he agreed to take it and do tbs
best he could with it. He
found it very delightful property,
full of good things and rslinquish.
ed it with much regret.
The Spencer is an ideal place
for the soiourning traveller. In
fact it is gem of a hotel. one of
the best hotels in West Virginia.

of this month will be called upon
to pass on the license question ip-
Point Pleasant That is. if the
Supreme Court should not reverse
the Harden case now pending
there. If this case should be re-
versedi it will give the town coun-
oil of Point Pleasant the sole right
to grant license without making
application to TO the county court.
There are few people in Mason
county, who act like they want the
county court to have this j ID.
Why is this the oasep Is it be-
cause they want to run for Office
on the prohibition PLATFORM or is
it for the purpose of getting even"
with somebody tits clearly dem.
onstrated by the petitions favora-
BILE to license that a majority of
our voters of the entire county
want license in Point Pleasant
The friends of license did not try
to enlist any one in the support of
license until long after the prohi-
'bitionists had made a canvass of
the county. and with a clear field
they only got less than 400 voters
in the entire county. But it is so
apparent that the people of Point
Pleasant have just claims for Ii.
oense under existing conditions
that the court cannot help but re-
spect these claims, and the voters
of the entire county also recognize
that to drive trade and business
out of the county is not a good
thing for the taxpayer of the coun-
ty, for what is spent in Ohio does
not get back to West Virginia to
swell the taxable property list.
This money, 80 spent. helps Ohio,
but drains our state of circulating
money to that extent.
1t has been clearly demonstrated.
too, that the moral condition of
our people is not bettered by clcs
ing of the saloons in Point Pleas
ant. Why should any reasonable
person want to injure their own
business interests, when the clos
ing of the saloons does not improve
conditions morallyP But as to the
moral side of the question, we only
want to say that if our prohibition
friends from out in the country
could become familiar with moral
conditions now and before license
was taken away from Point Pleas
ant, they would rather have the
open saloon here than to be the
dumping ground of the result of
irresponsible selling of intoxicants
in Gallipolis, Pomeroy and Mid
dleport. However much the laws
of morality and decenoy may be
violated out of the state, our laws
do not reach such case, but With
our license laws properly enforced
in this state we have not as much
to fear from the sale of liquors in
our own town as to be up against
the proposition just aoross the
Ohio river.
Why do our prohibition friends
claim to have rights above any
other Citizen of the county, They,
or some Of them, voted for the
present members of the county
court, but the friends of license
did likewise, therefore we cannot
see that a minority in a community
should be entitled to control a |
msj1rity. This matter is not one
of mere sentiment, 1t is a ques.
ton which the court should broad
ly consider, for the court does not
stand for factions or olioks, but
will look to the wants and interests

Mr. Harrington supported the idea
Of carrying out the plank. He said II

power of the Territory to turn over

belongs to the Territorial Government
AS to saddling burden upon the

that there Is any immediate danger

That would require action on the
