Victory for the Grange

The local option movement among
the grangers Of the state a. headed
by Rev J. w. johnson Of New Nil
ford secured q victory for local op-
tion at Harrisburg. Some weeks be.
fore the meeting Of the Legislature
Mr.. johnson met with Senator Pen.
rose and the Republican Leaders ANA
insisted on fair treatment for local
option in committee and on the floor
II the House.
This was granted and binding az.
surance at last given that the move.
nent should at last have square
deal in the Pennsylvania legislature.
When it became evident that Mr..
G * was to be chosen speaker Of the
house, and inasmuch a. the independ
emit candidate Mr. McClain was not
for local option, Mr.. johnson visited
Mr.. Cox and biought 80 much iDAu-
ence TO bear upon him that he OBJ.
tained his pledge also that the local
option bill would not bs killed in the
committee but given a fair show on
the floor. This was good politics on
the part of Mr., Cog as 1t disArmed
much Of the opposition to him.
For the tlrst time In Psnnsylvania
a local option bill is to have a fair
show in the legislature. This ar.
raneement shows the practical and
skiIlful operations Of Mr.. johnson
and the power of the Grange ia
Penns.

NOTES FROM
SANDYSTON

Port Layton wears the smile tha,
extends frorn ear TO ear, and all be,
cause bis aniabls spouse presented
him with a daughter on Saturday
evening Jan End.
David Vansiokle former resident
of this town, and for many years a
resident of Port Jervis, visited with
his son at Layton q few days the
past week.
The extra meetings held in the
Layton church the past week has
met with some success.
Inotice q paragraph in the Sussex
Independent saying there are about
72o county bridges in Sussex county.
This County has sixteen townships
In It's make up, and as Sandyston has
over 200 bridges they must be scarce
in the other townships.
Some Of our county oflcials have
had an addition made to their salar-
les, and add to that phones and jan.
itor the next thing they will 'holler'
for, will be an automobile and the
Lord knows what the 'holler' will be
for next.
The muddla in the financial mat
ters Of this town was satisfactorily
settled at the meeting of the old and
new committees on Saturday.
A thorough examination of all the
books and vouchers Of the different
town officials revealed the fact that
town and school monies had not been
recorded where they should have
been, and the result was a bad mix.
Everything is all right now.
It is not funny that an offense. of
an indictable nature, cannot be brot
to the attention of the court, unless
1t Is passed upon by the Grand Jury.
This is the opinion Of one we'll versed
in law. and vet the offense was
bribery at the last general election
Nov 5.
/ suppose the buying of votes will
continue just as has been done for
years, and we have a stringent law
against the bribery of voters.
Selvin T. Utter of this town died
after brief illness at the residence
OF his brother Daniel on Saturday
last. He had large acquaintance
and was ready at any time to do
favor for any one.

Cause Of Prohibition

O1bSG " ENOHlD1blOu Z
Tennessee has gone dry. It's leg
islature this week 20 ordained and 90
showing one OF the most powerful
arguments which today is moving
the people in thas direction, and
which is destined eventually TO
spread over the whole country unless
those in whose hands IL is reform
themselves and their business We re
prins the following from an article
In 'The Circle"
The mightiest recruit that ever
Joined the prohibition ranks was the
retail liquor dealer himself. He did
uUt know IL then-he does not realize
1t now, but he has been tho most
powerful single factor in raising the
storm which II is now possible for
him to ride.
The retail liquor dealer has con-
verted more unwilling men TO the
prohibition cause than all the bis
hops, wives, end mothers combined.
He has used practical arguments
which could not be refuted. He per
sisted in ceiling his-w'hisky to little
boys, even to little girls. He per-
sisted in keeping his saloon open on
Sunday He maintained his gam.
bling house In connection with his
bar.
The decent element In every com.
munity found itself powerless, for
saloon dominated town employs
none but blind poliosmsn. Theoret
ically, indeed, the saloon existed by
liberation of the law, bound down
by multitudinous restrictions. Prac
tically, the people existed by court
esy Of the saloon, for the ssloon was
the law. Nobody knew this more
thOroly than Thousands of business
men who patronized saloons. Deep
In their heart men of this class want
cd the law better enforced. They
wanted the saloon and realised that
it had to be more respectAble--or
disappear.
One by one, two by two, thousand
by thousand, liberal minded citizens
began to ally themselves with she
prohibitionists. The wave gathered
strength the men behind IL quilt Us
ing wind, and substituted work. Tho
cloud on the horizon, which had been
no bigger than a mans head, black
ened and came nearer. The direct
ing force included brains, federation,
industry, and cash. There was now
something substantial and respect
commanding about the movement.
Timld peoyle began to Join IL. The
great middle GLASS OF hesitating oiti
zens joined hands. All of sudden
ID burst into tidal wave so powerful
that IL swept other thousands of
their feet and bore them along.
Last Of all were the politicians.
They mounted to the topmost crest,
made the most noise, and shouted
the loudest come snsp 70 those be.
hind. Just as soon as they bscame
convinced that the people were really
behind IL, they got in front-after
the fashion of their kind
John Barleycon. the King, wsa
dead. Long live King Adams Ale,
whose chariot Is the water wagon.
They climbed to the front seat. and
the saloon keeper made sarcastic rs
marks about gratitude" as she pro
oesslol went by. Saloon keepers
had been used to jSerihg at Prohibi
tionists for . lot Of ''lOng haired men
and short haired women.
Perhaps they sOoI may begin to
see that there are many others who
have joined in thS march.

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.
OH OF Wintergreen, ThymoI, Glycerlne.
Etc, Used as Simple Wash,

1t really seems strange that so many
people suffer year in and year out with
eczema, when it is now no longer Sc
cret that oil Of wintergreen mixed with
thymol. glycerine, etc, makes wash
that is bound to cure.
Old. obstinate cases, it is true, can
not be cured in a few days, but there is
absolutely no sufferer from eczema who
ever used this simple wash and did not
find Immediately that wonderful sooth-
ing, calm, cool sensation that comes
when the itch is taken away. Instantly
upon applying a few drops of the wash
the remedy takes effect the itch is
allayed There is no need of expert
ment-the patient knows at once.
Instead of trying to compound the oil
of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine, etc,
in the right proportion ourselves, we
are using a prescription which is univ
ersally found the most effective. II is
known as the d. d. d. Prescription, or
Oil of Wintergreen Compound. 1t is
made by the ID. d. d. Co. of Chicago,
