The Supreme Court of Indiana Reverse q

In the case OF Edward Sopher appealed
from tile Hamilton county, Indiana Cir

opinion throw it out of court.

Judge Artman has a better standing

records.
Read the Supreme Court of Indiana

The infirmity OF tile argument pre-.
sented By counsel for the state is that
therein they assume that to he true which
is not, viz, that the statute in controversy
grants the right to sell at retail intoxicat.
ing liquors, which right or privilege SO
granted is in derogation Of the common
law. Upon this unfounded or empty as
sumption they travel and base their argu-
ment. We may again repeat what we
have herein fully shown under the
authorities cited, that from the very be.

present time the traffic in intoxicating
liquors at retail or otherwise was under
that law regarded as lawful, unless de.

The state courts have, without a break
IN the current Of opinion, affirmed the
validity Of such statutes, and no court
has asserted their validity in stronger or

therefore, no room for doubt, no question

THE REVENUE QUESTION

The Sunday Star completely
riddles the only argument or at
tempt at argument, which the
Every EUening has been harping
on all during the campaign. The
latter paper says in substance,
"What are you going to do for
the $4,000 revenue which the
state now receives from the
liquor license?" The Star well
calls attention to the fact that for
every dollar which the state re-
ceives from this source, many
dollars, yes, hundreds of dollars,
are paid out by the class least
able to stand this drain. The Ii.
cense fee paid by either one OF
the hotels in Middletown, does
not probably amount to more
than a fraction of an average
Saturdays sales over the bar.
If the people who spend this
large sum were secure from the
temptation of the saloon there
can be no question that they will
be well able to pay state tax OF
more than nominal amount and
it is conceded that even to raise
the same amount as is now col.
lected d tax Of about one cent on
the hundred of assessed value
would BE ample.

SENATOR cARnAck OF TENNESSEE
MARTIN B. BURRIs.

Thus writes Edward W. Carmack. gal
iantest and most brilliant of Southern
senators and publicists, on the great moral
question Of to-day And they are ring
ing words. They defeated him for the
senate in Tennessee, but they will live to
magnify him at another day:
Columbia, Tenn, Sept. l4th, 1905
Mr.. W. R. Hamilton, Knoxville, Tenn
My Dear Sir: / regret that I am SO
circumstanced that / can not attend and
address your mass meeting on Sunday
afternoon. / am heart and soul in SYM
pathy with your efforts to rid the State
OF the wholly pernicious influence of the
saloon. | believe that we have come to
the parting of the ways with the whisky
power of Tennessee, and that the time
for halfway measures has passed. The
saloon has sinned away its day OF grace
and must be dealt with henceforth as an
incorrigible offender against society.
Whenever it has been demonstrated that
any business is essentially injurious to the
public welfare, such business should come
under the condemnation of the law
There are honorable exceptions, but
the rule is that the saloon is an habitual
law-bresker; disregarding repeated and
significant warnings, it continues to be a
centre OF political corruption and to dis
play pernicious activity in putting or
keeping in office men who will protect it
in it, unlawful practices. There must be
something incurably vicious in calling
which, even to save its own life, can not
separate itself from criminal associations.
The absured contention is often made
that the abolition OF the saloon would in.
iuriousIy affect the prosperity OF CON-
munity. There are some arguments so
repugnant to reason that they do not need
tile rsfutation Of experience. Wealth is
produced by the hand, and Whatever i'm
pairs the effectiveness OF both mind and
body is a destroyer OF wealth. The tat.
tered vagabond waIlowing in the gutter
adds nothing to the prosperity Of the
community and neither does the man
who puts him there.
Tie saloon, by its insolence, its AFRO.
gance, lis persistent lawlessness, has
forced the issue upon tlls people. AMI the
people must meet it. II refnses to be
reformed; it must therefore be destroyed.
Il has proclaimed by ita conduct that II

BAD CAMPAIGNING

In most of the districts of this

Quoted by both sides has been as
fair and clean as such could
reasonably expected to be. But
in the districts in and about Mid

been campaigning in a manner
not calculated to inspire conf
dence in the means to be tried on
Tuesday next. As every one in
this town is aware, for several
weeks, the trolley car which is

what it is responsible for. The
colored men themselves know
and many of them say, that they
are only being treated so for the
sake of trying to influence their
votes and will act accordingly.
The conviction of Wharton at

Killed in Railway Wreck.

Dan Il. Farmer, an engineer on the
&. S. d +. Railway and who has
been running into Palatka ever since
the road was completed, was killed
in a wreck near Pinehurst, Ga, last
Monday night. The wreck was
caused by what is called ''split
switch, and the engine, the express,
the baggage car and two passenger
coaches We're either wrecked or
burned.
Engineer Farmer went down with
his engine and his crushed and
mangled body was iamed down into
sand under n mass of iron. Flames,
starting from the wrecked engine,
spread rapidly and soon the entire
train with the exception of the Two
Pullmans, was in flames aud de-
stroyed. Mr.. Farmer seems to have
been the only one killed, though sew
eral of the train hands were injured
and had narrow escapes from death
in the flames.
Mr.. Farmer was well known in
Palatka, having made regular runs
from Macon to this city ever since
the road was built up to month ago
when he was put on the fast train
between Macon and Jacksonville.
He was very popular with our people
and all will regret his awful end.
Mr.. Farmer was member of st.
Johns lodge, X. of P. in this city.
His home was in Macon, where he
leaves q family.

your opinion of this guarantee in
this paper, where all your neighbors

Well furnish the paint to paint
half the house of any fair man on
these terms: He shall paint the
other half with whatever other paint
he likes; same painter (any fair
man) same way (the way of all fair
painters, to make q good job.) If
our half doesn't take less gallons of
paint by one-tenth to seven-tenths,
wen give him the paint. If our
half doesn't take less labor by one
tenth to seven tenths, we'll give him
the paint. If our half isn't sounder
three years hence, we'll give him the
paint. If our half isn't sounder six
years hence, We'll give him the
paint. Any color.
We say one-tenth, because there
are two or three paints with about
that difference; we say seven-there
are dozens of paints with about that
ditference-we say one to seven, be-
cause there's hundred that waste
one-third of the money paid for both
paint and labor.

night when the Palatka lodge of
Masons and visiting members of the
| order came from the lodge room,
| where a candidate had been given
the Masters degree, and entered the
spacious dining hall of the old Gra-
ham Hotel, which had been decorat-
ed and prepared for such banquet

member of the Palatka lodge who
had but recently beer elevated to
the exalted Office Most Worshipful
Grand Master of Florida, or head of
the order in this state. Palatka
Mason's are proud of Judge Haskell;
they wanted to honor him, and so
they prepared this banquet and ask
ed the Masons of the county-and
some others whom they thought
ought to be--to come in and share
in their joy.
The banqueting hall had been
beautifully and artistically decorat-
ed for the occasion by Mr.. Arthur
Mellor "a professional fioriculturist
and decorator of Waltham, Mass,
who is spending the winter here the
guest of Judge and Mrs. Haskell.
The tables had been prepared by the
ladies of Palatka's masonic families,
and they were loaded with all that
is most appetizing.

at the tables and at the conclusion of
the feast there were felicitous after
dinner speeches by Judge Haskell,

mond, and Marcus Endel of Gaines
vile, also Rev. n. j. Tiighman, Past

An Odd Animal Community.

Natural enemies of the animal world
are sometimes found living together In
extraordinary communities. ]. G. Mil
lais in volume on animals quotes this
experience of an observer: "On one oc-
casion when ferreting bolted fox, u
cat, a stoat and several rabbits and
rats out of the same earth. The fox
bolted first, after giving the ferret
nip across the back, from the effects of
which it died an hour later. Next came
the stoat and then the cat, both Of
which shot. Then followed the rab-
bits and rats promiscuously. 1t was
large burrow on the bank of a deep,
dry watercourse and often held a fox
when l ferreted it afterward."

That New Union Depot.

Mr.. Geo. B. Selden of the Palatka
Board of Trade committee appointed
to look after Palatka's interests be-
fore the state railroad commission
ers, in talk with the News one day
this week said the reason for the de-
lay i'll starting the work was that the
Atlantic Coast Line company had not
been able to secure competent
builder who would contract for it's
construction at the price the COM
pany had been assured would build
it. Mr.. Selden also stated that the
plans agreed upon were those sub
mitted by Atlantic Coast Line Off
cials and that the depot ordered by
the railroad commission was to be
built from these plans.
Mr.. Selden states that there is no
doubt but that the depot will be
built, and soon, but that it may be
that the state railroad commission
will need a little prodding, and that
the Board - Trade committee was
preparing to'a5 that very thing, and
would insist on a depot being built
after the plans submitted by the
railway officials.

Many cases in this locality which had

cured permanently by this drugless
system of treatment. If you have
any chronic disease or eye trouble,
the opportunity should not be miss
