One evening, though, when l was call ing on her at the boarding house where she lived l happened to notice that in some way l had crushed a twenty-five cent cigar in my upper left vest pocket, and I showed it to her.
 "'Thats nothing,' she said. I can mend that and make it all right in a jiffy.'

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1909-05-27

This is the ninth week of publ.
cation of the Democrat under the
present management. During that
time we have published on an aver
age of 1000 lines of printed matter
per week, endeavoring to show the
evils that would result from a vote
which would make Stark county dry
territory. Not one penny have we
been paid for this educational SER
les. 1t has been given in a spirit
stimulated by the desire to do the
greatest good for the many. 1t was
declared from the start that in our
opinion the well regulated saloon
and we now have laws to enforce
that's preferable to the bootleg
ger and the dope distributor. Great
er men than We ever dreamed TO be
have agitated along the same lines
but we are proud in being classed
with them by the fanatic and the
narrow, vicious and selfish agitators
who are using the church to foist
themselves into political office. Who
are endeaVoring to provide us with
a condition similar to that resulting
from the persecution of the Huegu-
not, or the Puritan's burnings of men
and women who did not believe as
themselves. The church and tho
state must and always will be sep
arate, and while a little temporary
power may accrue from an appeal
to sentiment and religion, it cannot
live in this enlightened age for any
length of time.
The man who violates all the prin-
ciples of life, who seeks temporary
relief from responsibility, and con-
demns his family to want and des-
peration will find the way to do it
with dope if he cannot get liquor.
No law can be devised which will
remedy this. There can, however,
be found a relief from the evil of
such a character by other means,
and this will be found. All the agi-
tation which is now being forced up
on the public will result in a read
iustment which will give us a bet
ter and more sensible world.

LIBERAL SUNDAY ADVOCATED

'The present Sunday laws are con-
sidered joke" was the opinion of
the Rev. DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst,
of New York City, in letter read
before the assembly Ways and
Means committee, which was inves-
tigating Sunday blue laws and Sun
day legislation generally.
The committee had before It the
Voss bill providing for an investiga-
tion of the statutes relating to Sab
bath observance. The clergymen,
with the exception of Dir. Parkhurst,
took an aggressive stand against any
inquiry, but he wrote in favor of the
proposition, saying:
"The present Sunday laws are con-
sidered joke and their present non
enforcement with general assent has
most demoralizing effect upon the
community. People who have no
idea Of violating the statutes are
placed within the ranks of lawbreak-
ers.
Il am Of the opinion that a little
more liberality should be permitted
so we would have Sunday conditions
satisfactory to the general public of
the city. But this should be brought
about in a legal way"

LEGALITY OF NEAR BEER.

Does near beer constitute a viola.
ton Of the liquor laws of the state
of Ohio, or dealers be compelled to
pay the Akin liquor tax Of 1000
per annum for the sale?
This question is now before the
supreme court in a case from Guern.
sey county, in which John and Bessie
Murray were held for the tax by the
treasurer of the county.
In the common pleas court the de.
cision was in favor of the county
The circuit court, however, reversed
this decree. 1t was based upon the
grounds that as the beverage onIy
contained forty-seVen one-hundredths
of one per cent. OF alcohol, it would
be impossible for one TO get enough
on board TO cause him TO become In
toxieated.

be Immediately changed TO Fanatic
United Brethren" The principle
point in their creed is that no per-
son a member of secret society
can become a members of their
church. There isn't secret society
today that does not teach and prac-
tice morality, temperate living, and
care for the unfortunate brother or
the widow and orphan to a far great
er extent than most church societies.
The good resulting from the effort OF
the leading secret society so far
over-shadows the work of the aver

compare them, and the secret so
cieties haven't any missionaries in
foreign lands either nor is their
property exempt from taxation.

It has been considered that a
weekly newspaper, in these advanc-
ed and history making times, has no
place in competition with the daily
paper. The success of the Democrat
has falsifed that belief. We have
the time to present views which the
average daily overlooks or from
business reasons fails to notice. The
weekly paper which presents clear
and clean cut argument has as great
a place in the hCme as the average
daily which comes often and is soon
forgotten. 1t lives for a day only.
