OPTION STRONG IN STATE.
Recent Option Elections Show That
Temperance Men Are Voting
Dry.

These interesting post-mortems on
the recent election seemed to turn
very naturally about the liquor ques-
ton and debate is strenuous as to the
merits and dement's of county option
as political issue Observant poll
ticians almost agree that in the early
stages Of liquor fight the liberal
elements will leave taeir party more
promptly than the temperance ele-
ment will; and that in the recent cleo
tion the number of Republicans who
voted Democratic on this issue was
greater than the number of temper
ance Democrats who voted for Wat
son.
Some OF the figures ON county OPP
ton rather tend to bear out this the
DRY. Thus in Wabash County, which
went for Watson by 772, the "drys"
beat the "wets" by s97; in Pike Coun-
ty Watson received 1854 votes to
Mar shalPs 2,31 but the county goes
dry" by 917 majority; in Lawrence
County the Watson plurality was 7Ot
but the dry" majority is 1 1900. What
ever explanation one may adopt of
the facts, there is no escape from
the conclusion that county option is
stronger than the Republican ticket
on that issue.
Without attempting TO settle the
differences between antagonist theor-
les OF the situation, the Star, will on
ly say that, in ITS judgment, the Ii
quor forces will deceive themselves
if they proceed on the theory that
the vote for Watson and Marshall is
a trustworthy guide to the statement
of Indiana concerning control of sa-
looms. Men are quicker to leave their
party for personal and business rea-
sons than for considerations of the
general good. Every time that the
parties divide as they divided last
time more and more temperance
Democrats will vote the Republican
ticket, provided, OF course, that the
opposing candidates appeal to them
in their personalities with equal force

SAVED THE
PENSY FLYER
ACT OF LARWILL YOUTH REC
OGNIZED BY PENNSYL-
WANNA CO.
Presence of Mind of a Fourteen
Year-Old Lad Prevents Disas-
trous Smashup.

A boy by the name of Barker, aged
Is years. and son of poor parents,
residing east of Larwill on the CHI.
cago Fort Wayne division of the
Pennsylvania railroad, is TO be given
a schooling by the Bug corporation in
recognition of his act in notifying
proper persons when he discovered
that the eastIbound main track just
east of Larwill was blocked by log
at time when the eighteen-hour
Chicago New York flyer was about
due to pass the point, says the War
saw Times For months the officials
of the company have succeeded in
keeping the story from the public IN
order not to discourage riding on the
fast train between the Windy City
and Gotham.
One day nearly a year ago, while
returning home from school the Bar
ker boy who was then but IA years OF
age, was walking along the railroad
tracks and stepped aside to allow a
local freight train to pass To his
amazement he saw the wires on a
fiat car snap and huge log bound
to the right of-way The members
of the train crew did not know of the
accident. The Barker boy was the
only person who saw it. The big
piece of timber settled upon the west
bound track TIL boy had often
watched the flyer pass Larwill and it
suddenly occurred to him that the
train was about due He attempted
TO roll the log to one side, but found
his Efforts were in vain. He then
ran to telegraph station known as
"HF" cabin and notified the operator
as to what had happened. The en-
ploye OF the railroad company as
certained that the flyer had passed
Warsaw and then called Pierceton
and was Informed by the operator at
that point that the train was whist
ling: The Pierceton telegrapher sue
ceeded, however in signaling the en-
gineer. The dispatcher at Fort
Wayne was made acquainted with
the facts and he cave an order for
the train to proceed with caution to
Larwill In the meantime the operat-
or had summoned several section
| men and just as TIE flyer came into
view the obstruction was removed
At the point where the log fell from
the freight train there is an abrupt
grade, going east, and curve The
| flyer usually passes Larwill at a speed
| of As to 65 miles an hour. The per-
| sons on board the fast train were not
made acquainted with the fact that
they had had narrow escape from
vented what would undoubtedly have
been a disastrous wreck.
The operator at Larwill advised the
| Barker boy to keep the facts to him
| self and to await Developments A
few days later he was called from
his room at the public school build
ing anil was informed that fine COM
pany would take care of him when
the time was ripe He has just learn
ed that his wish to study telegraphy
is to be gratihed Not only this, the
company has agreed to give him a
position in its operating ranks when
he mas sufficiently mastered the dots
spaces and dashes of the Morse code.
