OPPOSITION TO SKATING RINK

Considerable anxiety has been ex-
pressed by many cltizons, especially
parents, or account OF The rumor that
Soho places of amusement wore to be
opened in Berea.
The Citizen believes in amusement
and al wlse parents and teachers
make it part of their business to
provide suitable recreation for young
Leople. But a place Of amusement
out of which people make money is
almost sure to be abused and become
place of dissipation. This has been
universally the rule with roller skat-
ing Kinks for example throughout
tie country. Net only have they oc-
casioned loss of time and waste of
money, but thoy havo turned the
heads of a great many young people
aud led to serious scandals of all
kinds.
Leading citizens are, we under
stand, actively engaged In securing
the opinion of the Town Board to
grant no license for any places of
amusement Tho attitude of the Col
lege is well known. The institution
takes large pains and expense to pro-
vide sports and recreation for its
students. 1t will probably provide
roller skating under suitable SUPER
vision in the Tabernacle this spring.
And on the other hand Il will not
allow its students to visit any places
o; amusement outside the College
grounds. 1t will not allow this i'm
portant matter to be taken charge of
by outside parties who come to Berea
for the purpose of making money
out of the students. There have
been several notable cases of ad-
venterors people undertaking 10

MONEY TALKS
An Easy Way to Save
Money

Every one ought TO aim to get and
enjoy as many of the comforts of life
as he can. About the only way most
of US can get the good things OF life
is TO bug them from some one else,
and in order to buy, we must first
have money.
Once in a while you will find q
man who has had money given 10
him, but that is not likely to hap
pen to very many of us, so there
is no use to SIT down and wait for
some oEo to come along and fill our
pockets With gold.
The common run of folks have to
hustle hard for all the money they
get, and they ought to save some of
the hard-earned dollars, so that by
and by they would not have to work
so hard.
Now saving money ought to be
easy, and it is easy If you have a
plan, and stick to your plan. One
man began by saving all the dimes
he got in change. When he had a
dollar or two, he would bring them
to the bank and deposit them in a
Savings Account at four per cent
interest.
He never missed those dimes at
all. He lived just as we'll on what
ne had left. And he was surprised
to see how fast they counted up.
Ee got interested in saving. and when
no could spare 1t. he would put by
a dollar or two with the dimes. He
bought and paid for a house and
lot this way. II he had not begun
witt the dimes. he would be living
In rented house today. and would
be wondering why he could not get
ahead in the world. We can help
you in the same way.

IN OUR OWN STATE
Powers Case not yet Decided by the
Governor - How Democrats Left
Treasury-French Pays His Fine.

POWERS HEARING ENDED:-Tnt
governor has not yet announced
whether he will pardon Caleb Powers,
but the general opinion seems to be
that he will. A very strong case was
made out for him by his friends, and
the prosecution did not make much
better case than it has at the trials.
The governor has declared that he
viii not allow politics TO be a fac
ter In the case, and that he will not
allow the petitions to influence him,
but will decide. as he promised in
the campaign, entirely on the merits
of the case, just as IL he were the
judge. One of the strongest points
maze for Powers was an affidavit
signed by John c. Martin who claims
that while he was in the penitentary
he was tortued to make him give
false testimony against Powers.
DEMOCRATIC DEFICIT: - Gov.
Wilson has given out a statement
showing the condition in which the
Democrats left the state treasury.
The Republican administration has
made no expenditures except those
made necessary by the acts of the
last administration, and yet there
was in the treasury and outstanding
in banks on March 81, only about
100000 clear of charges. This was
tho condition in which the Demo-
crate left the treasury, and It was
against this little sum that the DEM
ocratic legislature passed bills approp-
rating nearly s1,4OO,O 700, without
making any provision for additional
revenue.
FRENCH PAYS UP:-B. F. French
has PAID the S4,446 levied against
him for running off witnesses in
the Marcum case.
MADISON FAIR:-The stockhold-
ers of the Madison Fair Association
have decided to hold the fair this
summer the four days beginning Aug.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
Miners Not to Strike-Aldrich Bill
Dead in Congress-Tobaceo Trust
Nav Dissolve itself.

MINERS BACK AT WORK: - An
agreement has been reached in the
miners trouble, and the men will go
back to work under the old scale
till Il has been voted on by all. This
probably ENDS all danger OF a gen
erai strike.
ALDRlCH BILL DEAD: - The
House has decided not TO pass the
Aldrich Finance Bill against which
the bankers OF the West have been
working. and instead the Vreeland
Bill providing Tor more general re-
forms will probably go thru. This
may be refused by the Senate and
as a result we are likely not to have
any legislation on the matter. The
defeat OF the Aldrich BIZ was largely
, caused by Congressman Crozier OF
Delaware. who charged that the re-
cant panic was brought on by certain
f'nanciers because II would give
them a chance 10 put just such a
bill. thru. and that II was what these
rich men wanted to fasten their hold
ON the wealth OF the whole country.

on the Powers pardon. His answer
was long and complicated and was.
In short, that he had not signed

circulate In Congress, where It would
help better IL his own name was on
the paper. He said that letter
which had been written by friend
to Powers asking for Instructions as
to who was wanted to sign was not
answered. only blank petitions being
sent him, the charges, which were
evidently a trap of some men who
have long been his enemies, were
sprung before there was time to
write again or take any other action.
He showed letters from Powers and
o'her people which proved that he
had all thru been a friend of the
p, rsecuted man, and answered the
charge that he was afraid Powers
would beat him for Congress by prov
ing that he had helped him in his last
trial, which should have cleared him,
and would have left him free in plen-
ty of time to make the race this
spring Altogether, he gave the i'm
preston OF a man who has got into
bad mes; thru no fault of his own
and is trying TO tell the truth. Most
people there seemed to think that
considering his good record and pre-
vious services for Powers. he should
be given the benefit of the doubt

argumets, but told some good stories,

impression that he had laid a very
clever trap for Mr.. Edwards, and
that Mr.. Edwards had been caught.
There were a good many other
points touched on but the election

will have to decide for himself
