ANTE-LIOUOR CRUSADE RESULT OF
MORALS---HELPEDB BY CORPORATIONS

(From the indianapolis Star. y
The movement on foot for tenn
perance in drink is going forward
in the social world with no less
rap.dity than is the movement for
prohibition OF the liquor traffic in
the field of political activity. The
liquor traffic in America got its
first black eye two or three dec
AIDES ago when the railroads and
large industrial corporations be-
gan to discriminate against the
man who drinks too freely. While
not in the least asserting the
right to control the personal hab-
its OF their employees, the man
ayers of the great industrial cor
porations and transportation com
panies awakened to the fact that
frequent drinking was not only
a prolific cause OF costly accidents
but also led to a general ineffic-
iency. Year by year, as CONNER
cial and industrial. life grew more
strenuous louder came the call for
men who were at all times in the
fullest possession OF all their fac
ulties. Even the old traditions
that a travelling salesman could
sell more goods if he drank free
" with his customers and that a
newspaper man could do better
work with few drinks under his
belt. faded away before the more
brilliant achievements of sober
men who kept themselves at all
times well in hand.
In this awakening OF the bust
ness world lay the beginning OF
the political and social movement
that is putting SO many saloons
out of business today. We Amer

THE COUNTY UNIT

Nathan Heckert a young man
residing in an outlying township
OF this county, which has been de-
creed dry BIZ virtue of township
renaonstrance, went to Plymouth,
Friday afternoon and became in
toxicated in the saloons that are
kept open by the wishes of the
voters in single ward in that
city.
On his way home Friday night
Heckert lay down on the tract to
sleep off the influence of the liq-
nor he had drank in the saloons
of Plymouth ard without the
warming of an instant his earthly
career was ended and his body
was ground in pieces and strewn
along the railroad by passing
train.
All the outlying townships OF
the county and in fact Center
township outside OF Plymouth
has detreed TIE saloons must out
business, yet what is to hinder a
dozen young men from those va,
rious communities going to the
saloons in the wet ward of Ply
mouth becoming intoxicated and
meeting he same fate as befell
young Heckert?
The people residing within a
couple miles of the saloons of the
one wet ward in Plymouth are
daily liable to face the results OF
such sickening tragedies land
most patiently bear the burden OF
their disrupting influences, vet
under the principle OF ward and
township control they have no
voice or vote in the matter at all.
Because that principle, through
the saloon and brewery interests
OF Indiana, was incorporated in
the state Democratic platform as
bright and intelligent man as
Thomas r. Marshall attempts TO
tell the temperance people OF this
state that young Nathan Heck
ert's friends should not have d
right or voice in saying whether
the crime and death breading in
stftrtion of the saloon should ex-
ist or be prohibited in their own
midst. This is so illogically
wrong and inconsistent that com
mon sense and sane reasoning re-
moves it entirely from the field oil
partisan politics and places it on
the higher plane of simple du-
ty to humanity to demand the
county unit local option law. The
self respect of every fair-minded
temperance advocate Aregardless
OF his political affiliations, will
surely force him to rebuke this
unfair proposition of maintaining
hell hole in one ward or town
ship to the deadly detriment oil
the entire surrounding commun-
ity and at the same time denying
that community the right or priv
ilege OF voting on the important
question. Argos Reflector.

The First Vote.

1t is said in Indiana this year
over $4,000 young men will cast
their first presidential ballot. This
means a good deal : The election.
While these ballot will not all
be additional man them will
go to swell the number of voters.
The effort of good citizens
should be directed to the leader
ship of these young men in the
estimation which they place upon
the use of the franchise. Too
much have great voters who
ought to appreciate the value Of
the ballot as means OF express
ing their intelligent convictions
upon matters of public imports
ance come to believe that the bal
lot is little more than a means OF
accomplishing some desired per-
sonal end. In local matters men
vote very often for a fellow who
they think can help them in poll
tics or in business or in their EN-
ployment In state matters they
are apt to cast their ballots for the
faction or the party which they
think will accomplish those
things most closely related to
their personal success or prosper
ity or prejudice. The misuse OF
the naturalization has begotten in
the minds of great many for
eigners the idea that the ballot is
a means of the requirement of
personal liberty in moral conduct
as we'll as a political weapon
against their enemies. This has
naturally resulted in the misun-
derstanding Cd the right OF fran
chise. its dignity and its purpose,
by the foreign element and their
descendants.

AN OPEN LETTER
To The People of New Haven.
 Conn.

To Whom II May Concern.
 Of late there has been good deal of discussion in New Haven Conn, in regard to advertised medicines and their value--the papers are full of them
 We want to say to every man, wom- an and child in New Haven. Conn. that we believe tho most valuable preparation of cod liver oil-the best tonic reconstructor, health restorer and strength creator-we have ever sold in our store is Ninol.
 Ninol is not a patent medicine, it contains no injurious drugs, but it ac- tually does contain all the medicinal. curative elements taken from fresh cods' livers, without a drop of the useless oil to upset the stomach and retard it's work, and tonic iron added
 Ninol is recognized throughout the world as the greatest strength creator for old people. weak. sicklv women and children, nursing mothers, and after a severe sickness.
 Ninol cures hacking coughs. chronic colds, bronchitis, and all throat and lung troubles. We ask the people of New Haven, Conn, to try Vinol on our offer to return money if it fails. Halls Corner Drug Stores, Cor State and Chapel Sts., Cor Howard and Congress Ayes.

ship and control by itself or any of its allied interests of Mllbrook company, New York. Westchester and Boston Railway company, and the New York and Port Chester Railroad company, individually or collectively, or the franchises granted to the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway com. pany or the New York and Port Ches- ter Railroad company, and of it's in- tentions in regard to the construction and operation of the lines of the two last named companies, the said New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company respectfully submits the following;
 This company owns all the stock CT Millbrook company.
 The Millbrook company, in turn, since date prior to July f. 1907, has owned, and now owns. 91.5S1 shares of the stock of the New York and Port Chester Railroad company, being all the stock of that company issued and outstanding, excepting that nine qual- flying shares are held by the direc- tors of the company.
 The New York and Port Chester Railroad company since a date prior to July 1, 1907, has owned and now owns the securities of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway company.
 Tt is the intention of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad to bo pJ a railroad from the Harlem River to Fort Chester. consisting of two tracks from the Harlem River to One Hun dred and Seventy-seventh street, four tracks from One Hundred and Seventy seventh street to the city line, and two tracks from the city line to Port Chester: such road to be high-speed electric railroad, in compliance with the provisions of the franchises hereto fore granted by the city of New York to the Port Chester company and the Nestchester company.
 "The purpose and desire of this company is to construct such rail road upon the best available route be- tween the Harlem river and Port Chester, whether the route already laid down by the New York and Port Chester Railroad company. or the New York, Westchester and Boston Rail way company or the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany.
 The plan under which this con struetion is to be made has not taken final form only because of the resist ance by property owners disputing in the courts the validity of the charter of the New York, West Chester and Boston Railway company. It was hoped that pending decision upon this charter. the work of construction might proceed. in so far as it covered that portion of the route from One Hundred and Seventy-seventh street to the city line by the New York and Portchester company under an agree ment with the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway company. For such purpose application was made to your honorable board for leave to cross the streets in the borough of the Bronx upon the route of the New York and Fortchester Railroad com pany as amended
 This attempt to construct promptly has encountered the opposition of one of the stockholders of the Westches- ter company, in whose suit an injunc- ton has been granted preventing your board. at least for the present, from granting the application of the New York and Port Chester Railroad com pany.
 The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has no
