only bankruptcy before the town when
the license money was cut off. Never
was there a more childish fallacy
than the theory that license money
helps a town. Every saloon that pays
a thousand dollars into the city or
town treasury sends away for he
purchase of liquors at wholesale ten
times that sum. Every dollar thus
sent away is wholly lost and wasted
10 the community. How then can a
community prosper that is SO short
sighted as to waste ten thousand dol
lars to get one thousand into the pub
lie treasury. Too the money sent
way does not begin to measure he
loss a saloon entails upon the com
munity where it exists. If the saloon
buys ten thousand dollars worth OF
liquors in a year its patrons must
nav twenty thousand over the bar;
the efficiency of men is destroyed
MANY are wholly ruined for any gain
ful ~avocation. The whole business is
bad and there is not a single good
feature connected with it. Beresford
is wise and is profiting by her wis
dom.-Canton News.

One OF the greatest revolutions in
the history of the world was waged
and won under the slogan that Tax
alton without representation is tyr
and yet there are thousands
of who pay taxes for the
maintenance of this government and
do it without a shadow of represen-

spirit of common justice does not goad
every women TO lend her assistance
to the movement, especially at this
time, when conditions appear to be
about ripe for the adoption of wom-
ems suffrage both state and national.

women should not vote which does not
apply with the same force to the

COMPANIONS DISAPPEAR
WHEN MAN IS KILLED
One of Quartet Drops Behind
to Shoot Down Well Dressed
Man in Party.

NEW YORK, November 29.-One of a
group of four well dressed men, appa-
rently all Americans, was shot dead as
he was walking along Harlem street
early today.
According to the only known witness
of the shoOting-an occupant of a near
by apartment house on Manhattan street.
from which the group had just emerged
the man was shot by one of his COM
panions.
Vincent Riondo, the man who saw the
tragic happening. says that one member
of the party dropped to the rear Of the
others as they were walking along the
street. There was flash, shot and
one Of the men in the group fell to the
sidewalk.
The others leaned over the fallen man
an instant and then ran Off. A police
man and an ambulance surgeon who
were summoned found the man dead.
There was nothing about the murdered
man to identify him. His cIOthin9 was
Of good quality and the softness Of his
hands indicated that he was unused to
hard work.
The label of a Broadway clothier on his
coat gave the police their only clue to
work upon. The authorities have insti-
tuted widespread search for the dead
mans companions.
Although the dead man was identified
this afternoon as John Nicholas. Kerner,
a young married man of the middle west
elusive. The police developed the theory.
however. that the young man was the
victim of gang members who bore some
grudge against him.

CHICAGO. November 29.-Two bandits
who held up and robbed Charles Moe, a
contractor-carpenter, took no chances Of
having a policeman descend upon them
while they went through their victims
pockets.
Instead they seized him, quickly bundled
him up i'm ropes and quantity of bur-
lap. threw him into furniture delivery
wagon, beat him into insensibility when
he sought to raise an outcry and carried
him far out of the city to rob him.
When he recovered consciousness to-
day he was unable to unfasten his hands
or gain his feet. He lay in the gutter
beside a country road six hours before
found by farmers.
He then learned he had been carried
to the town of Cicero, several miles out
side the city limits.
He had been robbed of a gold watch
and 81, and today he identified two young
men arrested by the police as his as
sailants. They are Arthur Pringle,
twenty years old, and Albert Littlefield.
twenty-five years old. Both deny the ac-
