lorities in the rural townships. The
verdict will be welcomed by people
who believe in home rule. for there is
no argument based on law or common
sense that will justify the regulation
OF a city's affairs by the voters Of dis
tant townships. The legislature can
do nothing more Just than to enact a
Law that will give 10 each local COM
munity the right TO determine whether
il shall or shall not license saloons.

ed by the democratic platform Is in

Wayne county lost it's local option
battle. and the saloons will continue
in the Quaker city for another two
years. The loss was direct result
of bad management. The farmers did
not get out to vote because it rained.
There were those in Huntington coun-
ty who severely criticised the local
option campaign committee because
it went to such elaborate precautions
to organize the friends of dry coun-
ty. The critics said it was not neces-
sary, and the fine weather election
day proved the precautions were sup
erfluous. But in the event of bad
weather the vote in Huntington coun-
~ could have been got out. In Wayne
this was not done. The temperance
people there trusted in the Lord
Trusting so is fine, no doubt, but the
Lord does not vote. and the man who
does not fails in his citizenship.

The air is blue with county option
talk today. Both sides are putting
forth their argument in every part of
the city and not a few are becoming
.riled up on the subject. The vic
tory for the vets in Wayne county is
a bitter pill for the county option adj
vocates and those far-seeing ones,
who are not biased and blind with
prejudice, see in it slump and blow
to county option methods and the
death knell to the movement where
the vets are properly organized. The
saddest blow of all, and one that
strikes down deep in the hearts of the
men who are honestly in favor of
county option, is the fact that the

there should be a means of abolishing
groggeries that are conducted in a

remedy to a great extent in the remon-

Several causes have contributed to
the defeat of local option for the en-
tire county Of Wayne. The belief of
republicans that the temperance peo-
pie did not show their gratitude to
the party at the November election
was one thing: the natural protest
against 'sumptuary'' legislation was
another; and. perhaps greatest influ-
ence of all. was the belief in Rich
mond that so far as that city itself is
concerned. no license means the dis
order scandal and disgrace of secret
and lawless sales of inferior liquors.
loss of revenue for which taxes must
be levied to recoup. and the immoral
effect upon community life which is
exerted by every new law passed but
to be broken. In the light of this re-
suit, estimates OF the number of coun-
ties in the state that can be counted
upon with certainty to so dry" will
have to be revised. The brewers will
pick up hope of other reprisals and
possibly the anti-saloon forces will be
more careful in picking their ground
for these tests. Incidentally 1t may
not be amiss II somebody musters up
the courage to question the wisdom OF

The result of the county option cleo
ton in Wayne county Friday is vic
tory for the vets" by about seven
hundred majority. There have been
decisions in thirteen counties and this
is the first victory for the wet s.'
The county option law is based on
popular choice. and a verdict for the
saloon, if fairly and honestly won, is
entitled to and should receive the re-
spect of all voters. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that all counties will vote
dry but it is confidently believed
that in the present state OF public
opinion all counties. except those nav
ing large cities, will exclude the sa-
looms. The city of Richmond with a
population of probably $4,000 was the
determining factor in the Wayne coun-
ty battle. giving the saloon cause a
majority of 1852, which the dry terri
tory could not overcome. In all the
county option elections In Indiana ey-
erything has been conducted orderly.

exists here. most of the business men
believing that a dry town will prove
inimical to the business interests. II
is certain that the Wayne county elec-
ton will have some influence on the
legislature and the democrats will
make an effort TO repeal the local OPP
ton law and substitute u high license
measure. In any event the temper
ance agitation seems destined To
bring about a much higher license and
more stringent regulations. In the
opinion Of the business interests this
result is the only logical and desirable

Out Of thirteen Indiana counties
that have voted on the saloon ques-
ton under the option law one has
gone wet" and by majority of only
700. This took place in Wayne coun-
ty. Of which Richmond is the seat and
metropolis, one of the larger cities of
the state. None of the "dry" counties
has become so by majority so small.
The Anti-Saloon league of Indiana has
conceded that there were few coun-
ties In which the option fight at the
present time would have doubtful is
sue and it was recognized that Wayne
county would be close. To offset this
first loss sustained in the dry" cam
paign under the new law there will be
a dozen victories within the next four
weeks unless the legislature should
meanwhile repeal the new law, a con-
