have always commended that the
moral condition of our town will
not be bettered by prohibition,
and the condition of the town since
the closing of the saloons PROVES
the correctness of that view. We
have, indeed, a peculiar situation
to contend with among some of
our prohibition friends. They
want the court to refuse license,

their names are not found on the
petition. They want prohibition,
but want the privilege of filling

Some of the really good people
who are honesty opposed to license,
when reminded that those who
want liquor can still get it, license
or no license, reply by saying that
it will put liquor and the tempta-
ton to use it out of the way of the
boys. The boy who makes sue

the most tenderly reared. He is
the boy who by hard knocks, labor
and resistance has developed a

out q den of red foxes on his farm
and had captured seven red foz
puppies, Since the article iap7
peared in that paper l have rel
oeived communications from all
over the county inquiring what
Mr.. Morrison had done with them,
also stating to try and buy them,
or to see that they were not killed.
To this ]. will say that these foxes
were not dug out on Mr.. Morrison,s
farm, bat were dug out by P. W.
Morrison, or his sons, on the farm
of Mr.. E B Jones, quite distance
from the Morrison farm. In early
denning time these foxes denned
on Mr.. Wiley's farm just abovethe
mouth of Three.mile creek. a
farmer living in that locality com-
planned he was afraid that they
would catch his poultry go he went
to the den and made them leave
We soon learned that they had
taken up new quarters In MIR. E
B Jones' farm We were highly
pleased to learn this as we knew
that Mr.. Jones was "true blue
himself and would enjoy chase
with US when his business would
permit. We also knew that farm
ere living in that locality would not
;molest4hen. While we knew that
Mr.. Morrison was-as new man in
that locality we did not think he
would destroy them
On learning about Mr. Morrison
capturing them I called him up
over the phone to see if I could
not get him to liberate them, tell
ing him that there was an sgree,
meut among nearly every lone in
this locality that they would not
kill any foxes. He would not do
this and would not sell them to me
for less than thirty-five dollars, and

and never liberate them. He finally
agreed to wait until l could come
out and see him before killing them

The Wherefore
Of Some Things.

Why does Gallipolis want Point
Pleasant dry town. The answer
is easily given. 1t is because it
puts dollars into the business of
Gsllipolis. There is nothing that
could happen in Mason county
which would cause as much jubiIa-
ton in the CITY of GalIipoIis as the
action of our County Court refus-
ing license in Point Pleasant. 1t
is not denied that the business of
Gallipolis has enormously increas.
ed since the saloons of Point Pleas.
ant were closed, and it cannot be
denied that the business men of
our town have suffered CORES
ponding loss. How much money
has been raised in Gallipolis, Pome-
roy and Middleport to keep Mason
county a dry oountyf Numerous
petitions are now going through
the county against license. Are
any of them being carried around
by the birelings of the saloons of
those pIacesP While some of our
citizens are honest in opposing
license. thinking, no doubt, it
would benefit our county from a
moral standpoint. yet we find a
few men advocating dry town
now, who, before the recent cleo.
ton, were loud in proolaiming that
it would be ruinous to the business
interests of the town to CLOSE the
saloons Why this sudden change
of hearth Is it to get even" with
somebody? Those same people
have no business interests in the
town, aud are telling the Court
that it is the very thing to do to
not grant license on the 10Th of
this month, yet when you look for
their names on a petition against
license you cannot find them. The
Court has expressed a desire that
the people give expression to their
views in the form of petitions
What will the Court think of men
who come sneakingly to them to
give advise. but when they look to
the petitions their names are not
found on themP The object of
gentlemen of that kind is to be the
private tutor of the Court, but to
the public they play both sides of
the game, just as it may be most
popular to do. The Court. doubt
less, understand these would-be
slick politicians, and the people
know who they are very well. We
think the Court will listen more to
the plain business man than to the
politician, and decide the license
question according to what the
people generally desire, and not
to please some slick politicians
who want to give the Court private
advise but who refuse to commit
themselves on a petition against
license
The Court wants to know where
the people stand on this question.

Some people in this town are
complaining that persons are boy.
Dotted because they refuse to sign
petitions for saloons. This may
be true but without bill of par
ticulars it may we'll be denounced.
In every contro versy however there
are some over Jealous persons
who allow their zeal to lead
them into come things that are
not exactly right Such things as
this should have nothing to do
with the question of whether Ii
cense is to be granted or not. 1t
is a business matter and should
receive business like attention.
The ill advised aotio0 of partizans
of either side should be ignored
by the court.
In the meantime let us all keep
our heads, and do nothing to en-.
gender bitterness. 1t is common
thing for the opponents of license
to impugn the motives of those in
favor of it and a spirit of intoler-
ance is being shown toward those
favoring license that is to be re-.

When Christian ministers go

who, seeing the savings of life.
time of toll about to be swept
away, have signed petitions for Ii
cense. they fail to show the spirit
of Christ, but rather that of the
Pharisees who accused Him of be.
ing a wine. bibber and of eating
and drinking with publicans and
sinners. Again when reputable
citizens of the county threaten to
stop trading in Point Pleasant
unless certain, business men come
out against license. it shows q
spirit of intolerance that is not in
keeping with the age in which we
live.

Stansfeld. pastor Of the Meridian Street
Methodist Church Of which Vice Presi-

tinguished communicant a clean bill Of
health to-day, so far as the cocktail incl
dent at the Roosevelt dinner is concerned.
Dr. stausfeld was positive It was all the
caterers fault, and that Mr.. and Mrs.
Fairbanks did not know what was TO be
on the table till they were seated.
4 do not believe Mr.. and Mrs Fair
banks We're responsible for the serving Of
liquor on the table during the luncheon. 90
said Rev Mr.. Stansfeld. Although I am
not acQuainted~with the circumstances,
believe the caterer was responsible for
furnishing wine at Mr.. Fairbanks lunch
con.
But the caterer employed by Mr Fair
banks has been interviewed by the pro-
hibition organ. the Patriot Phalanx.
which quotes the caterer as denying that
he was to furnish the liquor, and stat
ing that Mr.. Fairbanks butler had been
given that duty" the pastor was told.

JAMESTOWN PRETTIEST SHOW.
Gov. WarfieId, of Maryland, Says 1t
Was Never Surpassed.

Special 20 The Washington Herald
Norfolk, Va, July 3-Statesmen, sol
diers, and philosophers, who have Wis
tied all the great expositions Of the
world, unite In the opinion that in archi-
tectural and natural beauty the James
town show has never been surpassed.
But it remained for Gov. Edwin War
field, Of Maryland, TO pay the exposi-
tion the greatest compliment on the Oc-
casion of the Baltimore Day celebration.
The governor said:
Il visited the Centennial in Philadel-
phia in 1876, the Columbian Exposition in
Chicago in 1893. and the St. Louis Fair
in 19oi, and I can say without exaggera-
ton that the jamestown Exposition is
superior to them all, from any stand
point. The architectural and natural
beauty Of the exposition are without a
parallel.
AS far as the charges of extortion
that have been made against the restau-
rants and other interests here are con-
cerned, I will say that they are without
truth. for / have investigated for myself.
I had a party OF friends 20 dinner here.
and the bill surprised me. I would have
willingly paid that much for the music
which went with the dinner.
Because the government pier IS not
finished you should not blame these pa
triotic people for it, In q few weeks
this will be the most beautiful exposi-
ton that America has ever known"

SEES REPUBLICAN WATERLOO
John S. Wise Attacks Roosevelt's
Policies in Speech.
Tnlks to Maryland Lawyers of Eff
forts to Make an "India-rub-
Der Constitution"

Baltimore. July 3-John S Wise. OF
New York, one-tlme Republican candidate
for governor of Virginia, made an address
to-day before the Maryland Bar Associa-
ton on Capitalization by Construction"
In which, after commenting on the Presi-
dents course. he claimed that many Of
the things he was doing have no justin-
cation in the Constitution.
Yet" he said. "all are justified. ap-
parently, as are many others not emu
merated, by the declaration. arientlv
made, that there must be somewhere in
our laws authority TO broaden Federal
power by Interpretation. The Constitution
is to be so treated that the urgency Of the
growing needs Of the United States Is to
be applied to it. so as to make it an
india-rubber Constitution"
Mr.. Wise then tried 10 show by the
history Of the government. and by the
decisions of the Supreme Court. that
many Of the things now imposed cannot
be done lawfully, except by constitutional
amendments
He contended that the doctrine Of Fed
eral power increased by construction un-
der the plea Of changed conditions. is the
n 'st insidious and dangerous heresy

hat in IL turks a germ Of that which. If
be permitted TO grow. VIII destroy the
checks and balances Of cur system. and
substitute therefor an uncertain govern
ment, dependent upon the caprice OF the
powers that be" and upon the fancies
of passing doctrinaires.
The speeches Of President Roosevelt.
he said, indicate a singular ignorance OF
the boundary line between Federal and
State powers. and he predicted that the
people would not uphold "A party which
advocated Federal or State aggression.
