Our schools have closed for a
two weeks vacation.
Our city council has contracted
for eighty new lights for a re-
turn current. They think when
dark nights are on the lights will
not go out. They will cost about
$1,000 ere they are installed. In
our ranch here we have ten 16-
candle power lights, which cost
us from 60c to 88c a month. We
have a meter and the plaguey
thing meters right along and
sometimes a belt slips at the po-
wer house and then we exclaim,
Where was Moses when the
light went out?" and hustle for
the old coal oil lamp and think
of the $29,OOO,OOO fine against
the Standard Oil Co. Municipal
ownership, thou art a fraud! O,
dear, the trials we do have are
enough! But next year politics
will be on and we hope to have a
chance to get few smiles from
candidates and to borrow a few
shekels to carry us through the
campaign. So let the i'll winds
of municipal ownership blow, the
candidates will act as a panacea
to our wants. Soon our commit
tee will meet at Winchester for
the Eighth district, then candi-
dates can name their wants and
rejoice that they are american
citizens with a host of friends.
The eagle can scream and the
donkey bray. Let DeArmond
punch Williams, let Foraker kick
and the Commoner howl. Busi-
ness will go on all the same at
the old stand.
Last week Aaron Britton, an
old soldier, born and reared in
Butler township, of your county,
called on us. He is on his yearly
visit to our city. He wore the
sabre and carbine in the Cos with
honor, and the frosts of winters
are telling on him.
We say keep the paupers of
other nations out Of this country.
Danish the dago with his stiletto,
suppress the macaroni, the pig
tail and the yap. We have the
zambesian, that is enough for
hangings in the sunny south.
Tell Senator Sorgum and Joe For
aker that we are in favor of the
exclusion of all foreign popula-
ton. Give us men and not the
greasy offals Of other countries,
and keep them out of our army
and navy.
We wish our readers a Merry
Christmas and a Happy NewYear

"The Saloon rIust Co."
BY LEO.

GreenVille'S attorneys at the late
anti-saloon convention held ir
this city. The orator did not tel
us when the going would happen
but simply assured us that go il
must. For our part we are quite
willing to see the going at ar
early date; for it is the prolific
source of much poverty, want,
wretchedness and crime, as the
speaker pointed out. And yet,
we fear the going of the saloon
is not an event speedily to hap
pen. It's going is rather that of
going on than going out. There
is an effort being made by the
liquor magnates to endue the sa-
loon with a little more respecta-
bility, so as to make it less often
sive to the average moral citizen.
If the brewers and distillers can
convert the saloon into some
thing less hideous, it will proba-
bly, make it's going out a more re-
mote contingency.
To the same effect is the high
license paid by the saloonists.
Greenville has somewhere near
twenty places of this style, each
paying a thousand dollars per
annum to the state and county
for the privilege of dealing out
drinks to souls athirst for liquid
fire. The revenue therefrom is
large and pleasing to many tax
payers, and therefore the reven-
ue is likely to retard rather than
hasten the going out of the sa-
loon.
The saloon must 90? Perhaps;
but really, friends, it looks as if
it must go on rather than go out.
We deplore the prospect; but we
must keep an open eye to the
facts about us. Those who know
us personally know that our SYM
pathy is with the temperance peo-
pie, and still we hope they know
us as keeping our eye on facts
rather than yielding sway to fer
vid imagination.
Why do we think the saloon is
not going out of business in the
near future? We answer, be-
cause the sentiment in its favor
is quite dominant. This is shown
in many ways. There comes the
habitual drinker. He must be
gratified somewhere. The sa-
loon meets the demand of this
large number of citizens. Then,
again, think of the respectable
Christian people that indulge in
an occasional drink. They, too,
must be provided for. Again,
see how many church members
are willing to rent properties to.
saloonists because liquor dealers
are willing to pay big rents. Add
to the above facts the languid in
terest shown in the cause of tenn
perance by many a leader in the
church. Having looked careful
ly into these facts we have come
to the conclusion that the going
out of the saloon is a remote pos
sibility. That we wish it other
wise does not close our eyes to
what is going on.
The chairman of the meeting
above alluded to gave out the IN
telligence that the Anti-Saloon
League has decided upon work.
ing for county local option in the
immediate future.
We make no objection. Every
county in Ohio should have the
lawful right to prohibit liquor
selling within its bounds if the
people will it so. In the south
ern states county local option has
been working well. It may do
well in Ohio.

Another very gratifying compliment
has been paid to the common schools
of Maine. The management of the
jamestown Exposition has requested
Superintendent Stetson to send teach
er to take charge of one of the model
schools that are to be maintained by
the national department Of education
Of the Exposition. This invitation
does great honor to the Maine teachers
and shows the rank our schools take in
the country. as Maine was one of the
first selected. At the Portland, Oregon,
Exposition Superintendent Stetson was
chosen by the managers to speak for
the common schools at the Educational
Congress. He was, however. giving a
course of lectures in Yale at the time
and Superintendent Draper Of New
York gave the address.

A good share of the work done in
this country in behalf of the famine
sufferers in China has been the result
OF the efforts Of the Christian Herald
of New York City 1t raised the
money for the $4,000 barrels of flour
sent from San Francisco the other
day in the army transport Buford.
This cargo of flour represents. freight
included. $4,000; at the same time
the Christian Herald cables through
the state department $4,000 cash, thus
making the grand total from this
source 100000. for the Christian
Herald had previously forwarded
through the American National Red
Cross 100000. The Red Cross has sent
$25, 900 in cash from general subscrip-
tons flour to the value of $29,4SI. and
seed wheat worth S2l76. And besides
these sums. the various foreign mis-
sionary societies have sent much relief.
The war department contributed the
service of the transport Buford.

PENNSYLVANIA is likely to lose the
honor of having furnished the cabinet
official holding the longest record for
continuous service. This was Albert
Gallatin, who was appointed secretary
of the treasury on January &c. 1SO2 by
Thomas jefferson: he was reappointed
nv President Madison and served until
February .. 1914, a continuous service
of little more than u years. 1t is
now reported that Mr.. Roosevelt has
said that he will have but one request
to make of his successor in office ana
that will be that Secretary Wilson be
retained as head of the department OF
agriculture for few months after
March 4, 1909. so that he may establish
new record for continuous service in
the cabinet. This statement by the
President is declared to be in answer
to the many rumors concerning the
probable retirement of Secretary Will
son within short time. These
rumors have cropped up from time to
time but have had no foundation in
fact. Not alone is the administration
thoroughly well satisfied with the con-
duct of office by the secretary. but Mr..
Wilson himself is welded TO the de-
partment and has not the slightest
desire to relinquish his connection
With it.
