This shows gain of 400 in the mum
Der Of saloons, in nine years, while
the gain in population between the
last census years was about 1870.
And now, let me make it clear that
this is no criticism on the methods
1t Is no complaint of the results. Pos
sibly no greater could be obtained, or
ought to be hoped for.
But the next time some uniformed
speaker gets your eyes bullying, your
mouth agape, and your tongue lolling
out with the marvellous advances
made in "Ahiah" it will be handy for
you, my dear reader, to pull these
facts out Of your vest pocket and read
enough so that you can remember
your name and the way home.
Ohio is not within a months forced
march OF where she was when she
adopted no license constitution in
1851, or her prohibition amendment in
1888. It may be that there are more
nice men in the legislature, but there
are also more saloons in the state,
and there has not been an important
line of legislation adverse to the H.
quor traffic enacted into law for a
generation. The w. G. T. u, the I. O.
G. T., the Prohibition Party, the Anti
Saloon League and the rest of them
have all done their best-their dead
level best. All honor to them every
one. And the saloon in Ohio will die
and that soon, make no doubt. The
mines may be laid, and the powder
trains set, and the explosion may
come to morrow, but the surface indi-
cations sketched above from official
sources give no hint of when. If the
prophets will prophesy the time, hear
them; but listen to no historian who
bellies the facts above set forth.

OHIO.

Continued from page 1, col. A.
Dishonest and unfaithful public SER
wants have been retired to private
life. Hoorah for Ohio. Men who
voted against reform measures have
been defeated. Hoorah for Ohio. So
victorious have been the efforts along
this line that it is stated on good
authority that a majority Of the mem
bers in both houses, the speaker, the
lieutenant governor, and the commit
tees were in the control of an organi-
zation which stands for immediate
and total prohibition of the liquor
traffic. Hoorah for Ohio.
Ohio has a local option law. The
Beal law, which went into effect April
3, 1904, strengthened the old law, and
provided that upon presentation of a
petition signed by 400 of the voters
the question of saloon or no saloon
shall be submitted to the people, and
in 1906 the residence district local op-
ton law became effective. and high
license (called tax to evade the con-
stitutional provision) carried. 1t
was opposed by some Of the temper
ance forces, and supported, I think
by none. In Ohio, which over a half
century ago adopted her present no
license constitution, and "a years ago
gave $4,000 majority for state prohibit
ton the saloon now stands on practi-
cally the same basis as in poor, pitied
Minnesota. Hoorah for Hoorah, and
you take your choice.
And through it all, the liquor traf
fic has been growing and flourishing.
Just as in Minnesota, by great effort
the saloon is voted out of one town,
and in another. In this state, and
presumably in Ohio we make some
territorial gain. But here is the Of
fetal numerical record of saloon eli
censes" for the past few years in

SALOON LICENSE NOT WITHIN
STATES POLICE POWER.

The saloon, which has been repeat
edly held to be the prime source of
all crime, has no right to exist at
common law, and the license which
grants it the privilege is not a re-
strictive measure, but it is the grant
ing of right which heretofore did
not exist.
am therefore of the opinion that
a law creating business dangerous
to public morals, to public safety, to
public peace, to public health, is not
within the police power of the state.

Christian, Hamilton County Qnd.)

In Topsy-turvy Land.

In topsy-turvy land the Dodos held
a great convention in which all the
hyperfolocated squilgeeserums (Dodo
doctors of decency) came together
from the nine corners of the sea and
solemnly resoluted in due form that
no self-respecting Dodo could ride on
the back Of a rhinoceros in company
with a magafaluri (Which is abomina-
ton to Dodo) as had been, and still
was the habit of many Dodos. Where
upon every Dodo in the convocation
scratched his toenail upon a squim-
squam in boistrous and sustained ap-
plause, and shouted 'gammeragee-
caliptus" (Which being interpreted is
"amen'O at top voice.
And from that day forth only such
hyperfolocated squilgeeserums as up
held the habit of riding on the back
Of rhinoceros with a magafaluri
were permitted to squak in the sol
emn assemblages of the Dodos. In
topsy-turvy land this is the jewel of
consistency.
