ment, but the nation neglects to do
as much for her brave seamen who
were unfortunate enough to be as
signed to do duty on the Maine.
In the ceremony which was con-
Quoted in the Havana harbor by the
Americans who are in Cuba, Bishop
Knight offered a prayer and in It he
implored Providence to prompt the
United States to remove the wreck
age and bury the sailors. II is in
deed shame that the nation should
so long postpone this work that the
clergymen should feel called upon 10
invoke the assistance OF Providence
in bringing the nation to its senses
and set about doing a work which
has been left undone all too long.

ASKS ASSISTANCE
FROM PROVIDENCE

The eleventh anniversary Of the
sinking Of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor has just past. The
nation has paid homage to the men,
ory OF the brave officers and men
who lost their lives on that mem
orable night in February 1898; the
anchor OF that once proud war vessel
has been placed on the site Of the
graves OF the sailors in National Arl-
ington cemetery; the loyal Americans
in Cuba have scattered bowers upon
the waters of Havana harbor over
The wreck of the battleship which
lies in the mud at the bottom of the
habor, and prayers have been said
over the wreck for the souls of the
men who were killed in the explosion
or drowned and whose bodies were
never recovered; and still the United
States refuses 10 remove the wreck
from the harbor at Havana, prefer
ring rather to allow its masts to pro-
trude out of the water as monu-
nent to the carelessness of a nation
which boasts of sentiment for these
things which have gone 10 make the
nation.
II is indeed a disgrace that a ma
tion so great and so powerful as this
should permit such a menace to the
harbor and an eyesore to all nations
to exist. Medals have been bestowed
upon individuals for having rescued
the body OF a comrade from a field Of
battle. but this nation refuses to res
cue the bodies of her dead sailors
from the waters of the harbor. Even
the Indians, after a battle, would
steal back under cover Of darkness
and recover the bodies OF the braves
who had been slain in the engage

presented a number of afffdavits re-
futing the statements in a. printed
circular which has been distributed
among members Of the general as1
sembIy, the tenor of which Is that
business has suffered under the appli7
cation of the Rose law
Charles Howard OF Barnesville, w
M. Miller, of GAINESVILLE, Columbus
Il. Walt, Of Mt Vernon, and j. r.
Meek. OF Coshocton, all spoke Of the
effects of the application Of the law
in tehh counties. Frank s. Hamm,
of Fulton county, said the proposed
amendment was a blow in the dark.
Judge A. H. Blair, OF Portsmouth,
gave some interesting statistics upon
the results of the local option move
ment in various counties. In Scloto
and Lawrence counties. he shid, bank
deposits had been increased In SO
Of 40 cities, he had heard from, ar
rests had decreased.
He attacked the Dean saloon char
acter BILL declaring 1t was deceptive
in that II did not become effective
for a year. 'But what is more to
the point he declared, els the fact
that whore a saloonkeeper Is con-
vlcted of having committed perjury
in a report he is let off with n fine
OF $500. Any other poor devil would
b sent to the penitentiary for the
same offense. II it's a good meas
ure," he shouted, don't delay it's
application. Make It effective right
now" He concluded with an argu-
ment in favor OF trying out the Rose
law before 1t was tampered with.
Homer De Rand, of Coshocton, an
attorney, concluded for the liberals.
He asked why the temperance advo-
Gates had no word of Endorsement for
the Rose bill from any labor organi-
zation in the state and vigorously re-.
sented the imputation that the bill,
was being unfairly attacked.
"'lf all crime is due to drunk
enness,' he said, what about the
bankers row in the penltentiary?
Were these men all drunkards? Does
the fact that there are three preach-
ers in the peniteniiary for every ga
loonkeeper bear out that claim? Take
Fayctte county, the home of the tenn
perance movement in Ohio. Since 1t
voted dry, II has three first-degree
murder cases on hand. 1t never had
them before. The. same condition
identically applies in Columbiana
county" He read from reports of the
United States census bureau that
drunkenness caused 26 of per cent
OF the nations idleness. Other causes
ranged as high as 20 per cent. 80
long as whisky is made It will be
drunk, he declared, .and SO long
as Uncle Sam is partner in the
deal, 1t will be sold"
"The question Is whether you are
willing 10 permit a city to vote It's
sentiments" he said, concluding. 1T
is better to have saloons under proper
regulations than speaKeasles without
regulation. You can watch your boy
