TO MAKE LOGANSPORT DRY
Hot Local Fight Going on in Indiana City
Eaton and Brubaker Lend Hand

LoGANsPoRT, IND, December 3o-(Specal cor
respondence) The good people of this city are
in the thick of great nolicense battle, with the
sixty saloons that for years have been carrying
on their deadly work IN our midst. Volunteer
workers have been placed in every precinct to
secure signatures to the remonstrance. About
$500 signatures must be secured, before the re-
monstrance can be filed with the commissioners.
During the past week, five great meetings have
been held in the interests of the movement. DR..
f. L, EATON of Evanston spoke on Thursday and
on Saturday evenings, and VIM. A. BRUBAKER of
Chicago on Friday evening and again on Sunday
afternoon and evening
These meetings have aroused tremendous in
terest and the work will be vigorously pushed
from now on until the requisite number of sigma
lures has ben secured
The liquor men are thoroughly alarmed and we
are confident of victory.

people here the proposition that our safety lies
only in obedience to the law. The law of the
state ought to be supreme. If it is not the kind
OF law we want or ought to have, let us by
proper methods undertake to get another. But
let us insist in the days to that it shall be
impossible for man to be elected to position
of honor or trust in this city who announces that
he will have hand in the notification of the law
Let us insist that the saloonkeeper along with the
preachers and the lawyers and the doctors and
the merchants, shall obey the law, unless some
body shows us that there is sort of sanctity
that surrounds the saloon business, which puts it
higher than any other business in the city, and
that therefore, that ground the law calling
for the closing of saloons on Sunday should not
be enforced (Applause.)
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-02

insist that the right of man to drink or the
right of saloonkeeper to sell, is greater than
the right of the people of Chicago to have
corresponding decrease of crime in this city?
The purpose of the government is the reduction
of crime and sorrow. Against the larger right of
the people to have sober citizenship, who will
contend for the right of the individual to get
drunk whenever he pleases?
The objection l have just considered is broad
one. Now I come to one that meets the exact
situation. 1t is that Chicago ought to have local
self-government. That is the first proposition,
that this city ought to govern itself, that ought
to have saloons if it wants to- and ought not to
have them if it does not want to-in any event,
that the city ought to be supreme. I am not
going into that further than to say, that if it
be true that the city ought to have the entire
saloon question in its hands, independent of what
the state of Illinois may think, the best way for
the city to get it is by obedience to the law.
The city will not get the local self-government it
wants in hundred years, or a thousand years,
by saying to the state of Illinois, chat is one
thing we will not accept. Other laws, relating to
taxation, to banking and the like, we are willing
to obey, but here is law we will not obey In
other words gentlemen, if the city is to make
test with the state on some law as to the question
of the sovereignty of the city, and if the law
that calls for the closing of the saloons is to be
the law on which the test is made, submit that
very unwise choice has been made
We could hardly select any law which would
put us in a worse attitude before the state of
Illinois. If we get larger measure of self
government, we will not get it by force from the
state of Illinois, will not get it by open law
lessness in the city of Chicago. 1t will come by
argument by reason and by influence Upon that
ground I would be disposed to submit to you

OF government observes the fact that all govern
ment does, to a great extent, is an interference
with certain liberties. A man buys lot in the
city here, puts most of his money into the lot,
starts to build a frame house, and discovers that
. he has run foul of the law of the city, which
does not allow him to put up frame cottage on
that lot. He says, II haven't money enough to
put UP anything else" The answer of the city is,
You can't build it then" What has become of
my right to build any kind of home like?
The answer u.s. "Your personal right to build
your own kind of home has been lost in the
larger right of the city of Chicago to be pro-
tected from fire."
l have friend the South Side whose baby
died from scarlet fever The whole time the
baby sick the man was shut up in his home.
The man really needed to be out making living,
getting ready to pay his doctors bills and funeral
expenses but the city kept him locked up, and
he was not even allowed to attend the funeral.
What became of the mans right to earn a living
for his family or to be out the street or at
tend the funeral? His right to these things was
lost in the larger right of the city of Chicago
t. be free from epidemic of scarlet fever.
There is nothing really difficult about the thing
Somebody may say, elias not a man the right
to drink if he wants to And if so, have we not
the right to have saloons any hour of the day
or night" The answer to this is, that saloons
contribute to drunkenness and drunkenness to
crime. Then mans actual personal right to
drink, or his right to get drunk, might be less
than the general right of the people of the state
to have him sober. That is to say it is con-
fict of rights, and when you get that, the right
that influences or touches the larger number of
people is the to rule If it be true that in ST.
Louis crime diminished fifty percent because of
the closing of Sunday saloons, what man would

FAMILY IN DISTRESS
MRS. PHIL BARRETT AND FIVE
CHILDREN NEED SucCoR.
WITHOUT FOOD.

II is written in the good book,
somewhere that charity covers a null
titude of sins, especially that char
ity that giveth to the poor. 1t is not
often that people who live in this sec
ton of the country are objects of
charity, but when such is the case
a ready response to an appeal is
made by the good people. The cry
of the widow and orphan was made
this morning In the city and unless
succor Is given and given soon a
poor lone widow and five children
whose ages run from nine years down
will be starving. Mrs. Phil Barrett, a
widow and her five small children
live on Second avenue between Wash
ington and A street northeast and are
in dire need of food. The family is
stricken with smallpox, a most dread
ed disease and are quarantined with.
out food and raiment, and without
funds, states DR.. Boyle the physician
who has the case in charge.
Unless the good people will come
forward and assist the stricken fam
lily with food, death may result. This
family occupies II end of a house
and another family the other end.
Nothing is known OF the condition OF
the other family residing in the same
house which Is also %quarantined, but
Mrs, Barrett and her small children
need help, The Barrett family need
nourishment at once.
This appeal is sufficient and the
good people Of Ardmore will come
TO the rescue.
