A Record Breaker

Listen, farmers, mere is a truth
that will be worth your while to
read and consider. Talk about
your newly invented tobacco
stripping machines, they are not
in it a little, after you read and
consider this. On January 20, 1908
Virgil Westfall hired a hand to
help him strip tobacco and one
word brought on another about
who could strip the most tobacco
in one hour, finally this hand had
the courage to bet with one of
his side companions that he could
strip rs lbs. of Dutch tobacco in
one hour, and, of course, the
wager was taken and in twenty
minutes he cheerfully had the
wager won, but kept on stripping
until the hour was up and then
weighed the same and it totalled
one hundred and eighteen pounds.
Think about it will you? And if
there happens to be any who
doubt the same, l, as we'll as four
others, will vouch for it. This
man lives close to Painter Creek,
Ohio, and has been exciting some
more of the good hands around
here, but guess they will keep
quiet for a while, and let JObe
Wellbaum, the man who did this
feat, strip until he gets tired
In the early part of the season
Jobe stripped one pound per min
ute and when he told this he was
only laughed at. So this excited
some more of the fellows anC
they commenced to try theil
hand, and Charles Beseckel
stripped 125 lbs. of Seed leaf il

at issue. The great issue raised
by this measure is one of home
rule-a principle favored by these
fellows if they were sure the ma
jority was always on their side.
This, they feel, is not the case
when they cry that the making
the bill a law would make Ohio a
prohibition state. Singular, We
ry singular indeed, that these
fellows do not favor majority
rule unless it goes their way.
Very much after the manner of
the man betting who said if l
win you must pay, but if l lose l
will not pay. This is not a new
temperance measure that is pro-
posed in the Rose bill. 1t is only
the application of a principle that
we have in smaller circles to a
large unit. It is an advance
from the municipality, residence
district and township to a coun-
ty. But fears are INDUCED that
the interests of county, village
and country are dissimilar to a
city. Be this as it may, is not
the property of village and county
taxed to maintain the courts and
penal institutions of the city and
is it not proper that these should
have voice in providing ways
by which these may be shaped
for the good and security of the
people? Don't everybody know
that human nature is the same
everywhere, and the same ali
ment that will sustain the life of
the people in the country and vii
lage will sustain the same in the
city? Nothing more in the one
place and nothing less in the 9th.

If it be true that the country and
city people are so separate that
neither has the right to invade
the other there are manylaws on

to be revised something that E.
Iven the saloonist is not seriously

things would have to be done tc

Gettysburg.

Reading the sayings, Twill not
say arguments, ofthe saloon sup
porters against the county local
option bill, known as the Rose
bill, it seems patent to the most
casual observer that they are
largely off the issue. Assump-
tion may avail with some classes
but not with the people general
ly. In this age of enlightenment
and investigation and desire to
know the why's and wherefore of
things it is i'll grace for any set
of ringsters to come up against
this attempted legislation with
such subterfuges as that the bill
is unfair, unAmerican and an en-
emy to personal liberty; and that
it's enactment will wipe out mil
lions of dollars of property in the
state and will increase taxation,
and that they are in favor of the
elevation of the saloon. Who is
| it that believes in the sincerity
of such twaddle as that these fel-
lows are in favor of the elevation
of the saloon? If such thing was
possible probably they would be.
Who for a moment can believe il
unfair for a majority of voters tc
express their wish at the polls
for proper thing? May we moi
as reasonably say that the can
ididate who receives the loves
vote should be declared elected
so that a proper and fair perso1
be chosen to office? Surely thi'
would be fair according to pro
saloon reasoning. Un-American

The Rose County Option
Bill.
BY LEO.
BY LEO.

Some time ago we said that 1t
was doubtful whether the State
Senate would pass the Rose bill
at this term. The doubt still re-
mains, a little more so than few
weeks ago. We make the state
ment not in joy but in sorrow.
We would be glad to see the
measure enacted into law simply
because it would afford each
county the right to vote the Sa-
loon out if so disposed.
An objection is made to it that
it is not strictly a home rule
measure-that it puts in the
power of country voters to con-
troll the county seat cities. For
instance, the faculty OF OHIO
Wesleyan University at Delaware
this state, petition law making
power to pass the Rose bill alIeg-
ing that by aid of country voters
the city where the college is sit
uated would be voted dry. In
that case, the liquor interest say
the city is deprived of home rule,
and must be governed by the
farmers of the county.
The objection has some force;
but the same objection can be
made against the township option
law, which now obtains, unless
the county town is quite large,
the country voters of the town
ship cooperating with the town
voters could close the saloons In
the whole township including
the county seat. We see no dltt'
erence in principle between coun
ty and township option.
Let us suppose the Rose bill tt
become law in our State, wha
will be the outcome?
1st. Every county will be Civ
en- the opportunity to vote the
saloon out of the county. Tha
would be home rule.
End. Many counties will NJ
doubt take advantage Of the Law
and go dry. The faculty of tn
Ohio Wesleyan University ar
convinced that Delaware count
will go dry, and thereby help t
save some students lost ever.

Many counties in the state Wi
doubtless vote fora a dry county.
9rd. The counties containing
large cities, Cleveland, Cincin
natl, Toledo, Columbus, Dayton
Lima, and others with sma
county towns will continue a
now with open saloons payln
each of them one thousand 40
lars tax per annum for privileg
of selling liquor to thirsty ones
This insures considerable scor
to liquor selling, even if the les
islature will pass local count

4th. Even in dry counts
