A Card of Thanks.

Editor Herald and News:-I de-
sire to return special thanks and
heartfelt appreciation in behalf of
the family, to those kind neighbors
and friends, who showed sympa-
thetic deeds of kindness to us dur
ing the last sickness and the death
Of our dear old mother, Mrs. Har-
riet Epps. Dear friends, those deeds
of kindness sink deep into our
hearts and shall never be forgotten
while our lights hold out to burn.
Il is God who gives a mother, and
it is God who has taken her away,
and to this end we humbly bow, and
say: "Blessed Be His Name.'
Thos. J. Wilson,
For the Family.

course I can't favor anything that
would keep them away. How would
Newberry look with 10000 square
yards of bitulithic streets. Just try
to imagine it, for that 5 all you will
live to do. Why, people who pass
on the train would look out and see
it and they would enquire what place
it was and would say it is a good
town, it must be live and progress
sive, good place to live in. No, we
dom t want any such remarks as that
made about our town. But council
is to consider it and a committee is
to report at the next meeting.
By the way, I see Alderman Bax-
ter makes a statement to the farm
ers and merchants along the public
square about that ordinance. There
can't be any misunderstanding about
the purport of that ordinance unless
it is with the desire to misunderstood
it. Now, I hope Alderman Baxter
is not taking that fatal malady
known in certain professions as cold
feet. The ordinance is all right.
Let it alone and direct your ener-
gies to the paving Of the streets.
Ten thousand, yes, twenty thousand
yards of bitulithic paving, I Won
der how many people would object
to paying their portion, now, if the
paving had been put down five years
ago. We don't grumble about pay
ing for a railroad we never got and
I am sure we would willingly pay it
if we had the railroad, and if we
had 10000 square yards Of bitulithic
paving we would be willing to pay
$4,000 a year for 5 years, now,
wouldn't, you? But I am afraid we
are not ready for this forward step.
The town has borrowed $4,000 and
may have to borrow $4,000 and the
total income is not over $4,000 and
you see these business men say it is
not well for town to live beyond
its income. !;

PASS POSTAL BANK BILL.

postal savings bank bill.
:, Of the 72 votes cast, 50 we're in
favor Of the bill and % against. Ali
the negative votes were cast by
Democrats. Senator Chamberlain
of Oregon was the only Democrat
who voted for the bill. AS it goes
to the House, the bill authorizes the
various money order postoffces to
accept sums Of one dollar or more
from depositors, and to deposit these
sums in the local banks, where the
money is to remain unless withdrawn
by the President in case Of war or
other exigency. In case Of this
withdrawal the funds are to be in
vested in government securities but
with the proviso that such securities
shall not draw less than 2 IA per
cent. interest. The control of the
funds is vested in board Of trus-
tees composed Of the Postmaster
General, the Secretary Of the Treas
ury and the Attorney General.
Two Per Cent. Interest.
The aggregate balance allowed to
any depositor is $500 and no per-
son is permitted to deposit more
than $100 in any one month. The
government is required to pay 2 per
cent. interest and must exact not
less than 2 IA per cent. from the
banks, the extra quarter of l per
cent. being required for the payment
Of expenses and losses.
It is calculated that such law
would bring much money out of hid
ing and result in a fund ranging all
the way from $o,OOO,OOO,OOO to ST.
OOO,OOO,OOO.
Democratic Opposition.
Mr.. Money, speaking for the
Democrats, based his opposition upon
the theory that an amendment, con-
stitutional in itself, could not rem
der valid bill which in itself was
in eontravention Of the constitution.
A number of Democratic Senators
|ireluding Senators Gore, Stone and
Bacon. spoke in general opposition
to the measure. The three men
toned saw in the bill the forerunner
of a great central bank and regarded
the legaslaa ion as unconstitutional.
The postal savings bank bill had
been before the senate since the
28th Of January.

MULvIHILL AGAINST PROHIBITION.

MULVIHILL AGAINST PROHIBITION.
Hon. Thomas f. Mulvhill, Gov
|ernor Folks Excise Commissioner,
who put the Gid" on St. Louis
and for four years led a fight in
Missouri in favor of enforcement
of the dramshop laws is out in a
strong speech against Statewide
prohibition. Mr.. Mulvihill has
had more actual experience in
dealing with the liquor question
than any other man in the state,
and Governor Folk has repeated
lily borne testimony to his ability
and to his unquestioned veracity.
The following is from Mr.. Mulvi-
hills speech at Odeon Theatre, in
St. Louis, Saturday evening Octo-
Der 23rd.
Il am opposed to prohibition"
says Mr.. Mulvihill, "for the first
and most cogent reason that l can
possibly assign, namely, it does
not prohibit. ! am further oppos-
ed to prohibition because, it is de-
structive of all regulation as it
now exists by virtue of our dram
shop laws; because it means the
dispensing of Intoxicating liquors
without restriction, regulation or
legal sanction; because it means
perversion and destruction rather
than the preservation and protec-
ton of public morals; because it

conform to yours, teach him by
precept and kindly persuasion to
see the error of his way. Instead
of appealing to might, follow the
footsteps of the lowly Nazarene
who taught men to do unto 9th
ers as they would be done BY"
In conclusion, permit us to re-
mind you that during the several
weeks you have been reading these
articles you have found in them
not a single word of abuse or cal
jimmy against those who favor
Statewide prohibition. From be-
ginning to end it has been an ap-
peal to that sense of justice and
fair play which makes the Ameri-
can citizen the finest and most
wholesome force in the world of to-
day--and thus we leave the mat
ter with you.

WHAT 1T MEANS


nounces the official vote. This
will be within ten or fifteen days
after the election. Some are I'M
der the impression that its opera
ton will be deferred year or two
as is the case with constitutional
amendments in most other States,
but this is not true in Missouri.
1t means that the attending de-
moralization which will follow the
adoption of this measure is not a
distant thing--it is but few days
off. 1t means that in little over
a week after the election nearly
$2oo, 900. 900 worth Of brewing and
distilling properties will be confis-
cated-wiped out in the twinkling
of an eye. 1t means shrinkage
of millions in realty and other val
ues in St. Louis, Kansas City, St.
Joseph and throughout the State.
The demand for money from the
banks will be terrific and that
there is positive danger of a panic
is admitted by every financier
who has studied the situation.
You cannot wipe out hundreds of
millions of dollars in a great city
like St. Louis without precipitat-
ing a financial upheaval. Should
such a state of affairs come about
it is certain to effect the country
banks for their relation with the
great city banks is very intimate.
1t means further that the moment
this act goes into effect-on the
eve of winter when work is scarce
200, 900 people will be thrown
out of a means of livelihood. 1t
means also that the enormous rev.
enues which pour into the State,
County and Municipal treasures
from these sources will be instant
ly shut off and that other drastic
steps must be taken immediately
to supply the impending deficits
which are as inevitable as the set
ting of the sun.
In all candor we ask you, will
you lend the aid of your ballot to
a decentralization so tremendous
: and far reaching? Are the thou
sands who will face the bitter cold
of winter with no employment
entitled to no consideration at
your hands? Are you willing by
your vote to precipitate a financial
upheaval, the end of which no one
can foretell?
A FINAL WORD TO THE VOTERS
OF MISSOURI
Since this is the last appeal
which can be, made through the
public press to the voters of Mis-
souri, with reference to the Prohi.
bition Amendment, it shall be the
purpose of this article to briefly
sum up the reasons why this pro-
posed change in the Constitution
of the State should be defeated on
November 9Th:
Ist. Because it'violates the sa-
cred right of local self government
the great fundamental principle
upon which our Republic was
founded and upon which it must
ever rest if the ideals which
prompted the Declaration of In
dependence are to remain intact.
In a country like ours, the COM
munity sustains the same relation
toward the government as the
stone and mortar which enter into
the foundation for a 'houses 1t is
the great base upon which the
whole superstructure rests, and

the present hour have felt that
they are an independent part of
the great whole-that they have a
positive voice in the shaping of
their own destiny and the destiny
of county, state, and nation. Let

fundamental principle of our gov
eminent. 1t is not only the cor
nerstone of the Republic, but it is
Our greatest bulwark against those
i'll and errors which have strewn
the sands of time with the debris
of many shipwrecked nations
the victims of their own abuse of
power rather than the prowess of
alien foes. Today Statewide Pro-
hibition is the club with which the
right of local self government is to
be demolished. Tomorrow it will
be something else. 1t has been
, said in this connection that if the
dry citizens have the right to vote
the whole State dry, the wet citi-
zens have the same right to vote
the whole State wet-and the
Statewide advocate doesn't live
who can controvert the fairness of
that proposition-and yet the very
suggestion of such scheme from
those who believe in the licensed
saloon would precipitate a state of
affairs bordering close upon civil
war. The abuse of any power, al
ways leads to trouble, for from the
days of the. Boston tea party to
this, independent, self-respecting
American manhood has demanded
a square deal and this is the plea
which the wet counties, and the
wet cities are making in this cam
paign. They stand fiat footed up
on the right of the community to
rule, and back of this demand are
those ideals and principles which
have made us the freest and the
greatest nation of people known to
history. The State. wide enthusi-
asst contends that the end justifies
the means-but might never made
right and never will, and the fair
minded citizen who has the well
fare of his country at heart will
not invoke such methods, lest some
day the weapon which he has for
ged be turned against his own
breast. The right of local self
government comes to us as heri-
tage from those who left their
crimson foot prints upon the snow
at Valley Forge, and common

zens who differ from US with refer
ence to questions of local policy
as well as the future welfare of
our common country unite in bid

inviolable.

force law which is not supported
by local sentiment. Prohibition
in St. Louis, Kansas City, St. JOS

of Missouri would mean reign of

sd. Because the experience of
other States, such as Maine, Okla
homa, Tennessee, Alabama, Kan
sas, Missippi, Iowa and Georgia
in fact in every state where State
wide Prohibition has ever been
tried has ended in dismal failure.
In all these states except one, the
open saloon insoiently faunts the
authority of the law and in the. lat
ter instance the saloon has been
driven into temporary seclusion
! only to give wider sway to the
blind tiger and the bootlegger who
defy all efforts to suppress them.
Maine is about to discard it after
trial of over fifty years while Ok
lahoma is trying to throw it off
after an experience of only four
years. Down in Tennessee BUSH
ness is utterly demoralized, prop
erty values greatly deprecated and
it will take twenty-five years for
that state to recover from the chao-
tic conditions into which the inces-
SAINT turmoil over this question has
plunged her. The awakening of
the New South" finds this splen-
did commonwealth in no condition
to take up the fight for progress
and all because of senseless and
useless attempt to compel a lot OF
communities to do something they
don't want to do. Seriously
should Missouri not profit by the
experience of these states? Had

4th. Because IS counties in
Missouri are already dry through
the local option law. Statewide
Prohibition cannot make them any
dryer than they already are. If it
carries, the only consolation the
people in these counties will have
is that they have deprived the
wet counties and the wet cities of
the right of local self-government.
The local option law has driven the
saloon out of one county after an
other until more than half the
state is dry-and backed by local
sentiment the law is being reason
ably we'll enforced in most COM
munities, Again we ask. would it
not be better to let we'll enough
