New View of Liquor Question

To Editor Of THE FLORIDA STAR.
The possibility that our county
will soon be called to go through
wet and dry election calls attention
to all events of recent date as well
as those that indicate the trend of
opinion here as we'll as elsewhere.
In the September American Issue,
the Anti-SalOOn league organ, we
learn that in the last ten months five
states have gone dry, added to those
that had already gone dry makes
eight states in the dry column. Lo-
cal option in many others is rapidly
bringing large sections of other states
under no license. In the last month
elections have been held in twenty
two counties in Ohio under the Rose
local option act. All have gone dry,
some of them with large majorities.
In no instance was there an election
that went wet. Other counties are
preparing for a trial of strength as
soon as they can get ready for it.
When we turn to the liquor press
for their Interpretation of this "hand
writing on the wall" we find in Bon
forts Wine and Spirit circular, New
York, of Sept. 10, this candid admis-
sion: That the saloons in this country
are doomed to extinction except in
our larger cities. The reason given
is equally candid-that the saloon has
discredited personal liberty and
made it a term of reproach rather
than something to conjure with. In
the name of personal liberty saloons
have been run in violations of law
and decency until it looks now as if
they were doomed to extinction ex-
cept in our larger cities. The editor
then goes on to enumerate the evils
that have festered there that have
brought on this hostile sentiment
that has crytalized into a war of ex-
termination. 1t adds that we realize
that this is a big admission but.the
facts demand the admission that our
trade may properly grasp the situa-
ton. In conclusion the editor says:
1--WE think that the trade should stop
kicking against the pricks. If the sa-
loon cannot be successfully defended,
if the cry of personal liberty will not
save it then let it go and let the peo-
pie decide how they want alcoholic
beverages retailed in the localities in
which they live" So mote it be!
This is the view of the wet mems
organs, that coming events are
casting their shadows ahead" But
for this traffic many of our county
homes would be without an occupant.
We long to see the day when every
man who has been engaged in this
business is prosperously at work at
that which gives him and his family a
better income than they had ever
received in the past. Sincerely,
GEO. w. HOLMES.

! Former British Soldier Rewarded for
Saving superior's Life.
Waukesila, Wis, July 27.-Carrying
I wounded OFFICER on his back, across
fields burning from the heat Of trop-
ical sun, with only the thought OF
reaching medical aid before the gap
ing wound brought death to the suf-
ferer, has finally brought its reward to
Harry Daley Of Randall street, this
city, form erly soldier in the British
army.
For the last fifteen years Daley has
been cement walk contractor here.
Years ago he served the British crown
as soldier in the colonies. He never
had the good fortune Of rising from
the ranks.--perhaps the plan of leav-
ing the service and seeking a fortune
In the great country across the water
was carried out before merit could
bring its reward.
While serving IN one Of the colonies
Daley took part in many skfrmishes
until one day the commanding officer
fell, shot down In a country familiar
only to the enemy, where settlements
were few. The officers fall was noticed
by Daley in the heat Of the fight and
the wounded man rescued.
A month ago Daley was called
abroad by the news that this officer
had willetl him $4,000. one-third Of his
fortune, snd he returned to Waukesha
today with the money.

Lincoln Democrats Try to Danish EN-
bIem on Notification Day.
Lincoln, Neb., July 27.-Lincoln dem
ocrats will make an effort to have the
Taft banner, which is hung over the
main street, taken down on the day
Bryan is formally notified Of his nom
ination. The banner, which proclaims
that Taft will carry Nebraska, Is an
eyesore to local democrats. A week af-
ter It was placed the banner was set
on fire and partia ly destroyed. It has
since been replaced
Today 1t developed that determined
attempt will be made to have the Of
fensive emblem removed on the day Of
sBryan's notification, as many demo-
Gratis will be in the city, and municipal
tact, the democrats say, requires that
visitors be not required to look at the
banner.
Extensive, preparations are being
made In Lincoln for Bryan's notifca-
Zion on Aug. 12. The state central
committee Is attempting to bring q
crowd to the town which will surpass
the one in Lincoln at the time Of the
candiseste's me-coming ten years
ago.
After the, notification marching clubs
from towns In the state will form
monster parade thru the business part
Of the city. The paraders and specta-
tors will then take cars to Fairview.
where a reception will be held on the
Bryan lawn.

at Berlin it's arrival here today was
not attended by any official ceremony.
There is considerable doubt in the
minds of the officials as to whether
the Germans have really won the race,
as the team in charge of the car trav-
eled hundreds of miles thru America
aboard freight cars, and In many ways
failed to traverse the route followed
by the American team, which is re-
ported less than twenty -four hours be-
hind the leader.
Lieutenant koeppen, who maintained
his position at the wheel of the Ger
man car thruout the entire contest,
was given a rousing reception all along
the line leading to Paris From Berlin
to Paris over roads with which they
are perfectly familiar, the German car
averaged a high rate of speed.
Messages received here during the
day stated the American Thomas was
in hot pursuit and crossing Germany
at speed which is calculated to bring
the Yankees into Paris tomorrow morn
ing.

Plan Of Theater MANAGER

Kentucky Woman Lead Revolt Against
Plan Of Theater Manager.
+ Lexington, KY, July 27.-The women
of Paris, Bourbon county, are leading
ia revolt against a unique lottery. The
proposal of Manager jackson, of the
Paris opera house, to give away a
real live baby to the patron of his
place of amusement who draws a Ii, V
number has stirred intense indigns;t: u
among matrons and spinsters alike an1
these have enlisted the men of the
town in a combined effort to thwart
the theater managers plan.
Jackson obtained the baby from its
mother, who is too poor to maintain
1t. He refuses to divulge her name for
fear of making her victim Of public
Indignation. Every person who buys
a ticket for the play during the pres
ent week receives coupon bearing a
number. Next Saturday night the man
ager expects to have an overflow au-
dience when he will bring the baby to
the stage with the winning number
pinned to its clothes and call on the
winner to claim the prize.
The officer of the Humane society
has been notified by the indignant
women and has informed them that
if jackson persists in carrying out his
program he will arrest him in the
presence Of the theater going crowd.

in Six Months.
Alton, Ill, July 27..-The 7-months-
old child Of Mrs. Mary Gennar, who
paid $400 for parrot two months ago
and ran thru $1,000 that she received
as insurance when her husband was
killed six months ago, died today OF
starvation. Mrs. Gennar admitted be-
fore the coroner's jury that she did not
have the money to buy milk for the
child, and, as she had not eaten TOR
three days, she did not have the
strength to nurse it.
Mrs. Gtennars husband died last Feb
ruary. With the $1,5O0 she received
from the insurance company she pur-
chased a. house for $500 and silk clothes
and grand piano with the remainder.
A parrot owned by her tenant attracted
her attention, and she offered to sell
the house for $40O and the parrot. The
offer was accepted. A few days ago the
parrot died Of starvation.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Gennar applied
to Mrs. Sophie Denuth, the Alton
police Ynatron, for aid. She still wore
the silk dresses, but she claimed she
had had nothing to eat for three days.
She was provided with food for herself
and milk for the baby.

BLOWN FROM BUILDING.
Harry Stow Quite Badly Burned at
Ottumwa,
Special to Times-Republ7can.


Ottumwa, July PA search for
napptha paint caused Harry Stow, an
engineer of the Milwaukee road, to be
blown from building and to be land
ed several feet from the entrance.
Being told that the desired paint
could be found in a shed near the
roundhouse, Stow took his torch, as
the day had not yet become light
enough for him to locate the paint En-
tering the shed where the napphia COM
position is kept he had not proceeded
very far when an explosion occurred
in which Stow was hurled thru the
doorway into the open air.
Following the explosion the build
ing in which the paint was kept took
fire. Little damage resulted from the
fire, as the yard men speedily extin-
guished the flames before they had
spread very far. Stow was not serious
ly injured as result Of the explosion
but was burned and given an awful
fright.
