OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
Modified County Option.
indianapolis Starr

indianapolis Starr
The Star has suggested and re-
Gently has urged a liquor law for In
diana which might supply a method
of saloon control sufficiently elastic,
and yet definite, to remove this
vexations issue from party politics.
The mooted plan would be to re-
store county option throughout the
state, with the proviso that every-city
of a certain specified size should
have home rule for itself as between
license and no license In this way
there would be avoided at once the
evils of township option in counties
overwhelmingly "dry" or without
cities and also the turmoil and bit
terness that have followed the max
inc of considerable cities "dry''
against their will.
There is no difference in prin-
ciple between county option and
township option Each is the ap-
plication of home rule to larger or
smaller community. Generally
speaking, county option has given
much better satisfaction than town
ship option-that is, more people
have been accommodated to their
comfort and contentment through
county option than through town.
ship option. As between county OPP
ton, the former would carry the
state. For most counties one cleo
ton is preferable to several. For
most counties, county option settles
the question once for all in a per-
fectly definite and satisfactory way
We might almost go so far as to
saw that, as between prohibition by
township and prohibition by county
nine men out of ten WHO concede
the principle of no license under op-
lien elections at all would be per-
fectly willing to see county option
made the rule in all counties where
II worked without friction-chiefly
or wholly in those counties where
no considerable cities exist. There
is really no objection whatever to
county option for every county
where it has demonstrated under
experience its perfect fitness for
local conditions. The only trouble
with it arises in counties with con-
siderable cities.
The difference is, obviously. that
counties containing large cities are
not homogeneous. A rule that Is
good for the country may not be

good for the town. You can have
"fence law in the country and let
stock run at large, but In the city
we must have "herd laws" and COM
pei owners to watch their domestic
animals. Cities have rebelled against
prohibition by counties, not at all
because their population consists of
drunkards and bartenders, but be-
cause hety believe that license is a
better system Of saloon control In
their particular community than no
license. They have tried both and
they ought to know. IF they vote
wrong one year, they can correct
it next time.
Suppose we restore county OPP
ton, except that we permit consid-
cradle cities to exercise home rule
within their own boundaries. This
would obviously displease those who
are in favor of no license, regard
less of its fitness or practlcablllty.
1t would also displease those "lib-
eral'' thinkers who oppose the prin-
ciple of option in any form as q
baleful concession to prohibition.
between these two extremes, to whom
reason and Evidence are equally irrei-
evant, there ought to .be an inn
mense majority in both parties who
would welcome any adjustment Of
this question which would take it
out of politics and dismiss forever
the cruel and senseless effort to make
all Republicans "dry" and all Demo

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes.

President Taft's recent message
suggesting an amendment to the
Pure Food and Drugs law in its re-
lation to Prepared Medicines, does
not refer to such standard medicines
as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
and Foley's Kidney Pills, both Of
which are true medicines carefully
compounded Of ingredients whose
medicinal qualities are recognized by
the medical profession itself as the
best known remedial agents for the
diseases they are intended to coun-
teract. For over three decades
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
has been a standard remedy for
coughs, colds and affections OF the
throat, chest and lungs for children
and for grown persons, and it re-
tains today its pre-eminence above
all other preparations of its kind.
Foley Kidney Pills are equally enec-
tive and meritorious. II. a. Eng

The Skin and Not the Blood.

Until recently it has been a gen.
orally accepted proposition that &C.
zema was a disease of the blood, and
that i'm order to cure it, the blood
must be purified and enriched. Care
full experiments and scientific inves-
legations have taught us that eczema
is purely a skin disease, and durable
through the skin alone. A great
majority of persons afflicted with ec-
Zema have no other ailment, which
is accepted as positive proof that it
is purely a skin disease. Having es-
tablished this fact, the chemists OF
the American Drug and Press AS
ISOLATION set about to compound a
prescription that would successfully
cope with this disease. and after
much investigating brought out
Meritol Eczema Remedy, the effect
of which Is marvellous. If you are
afflicted with this loathsome disease,
do not delay trying Meritol Eczema
Remedy. You will be surprised at
it's prompt action, It's soothing effect
and its permanent results. F.. }.

the association to sell it in De-

day.

Lieut.. John N. Merrill, Jr., known
to the people of Skowhegan as Don,
arrived here Monday morning from
the Philippines to spend five months
with his parents, DR.. and Mrs. J. n.
Merrill. He has not been home for
eight years. He is First Lieutenant in
the Constabulary Service on the is
land of Mindano being situated about
a thousand miles from Manila He
has also been warden of the proyin-
cial prisons there. During his alb
sence he has had some very exciting
experiences which show that he has
had real fighting He relates one in
cident which Is very exciting. When
he was third lieutenant he VAS sent
out with his army and soon lad
fight with the Moros The battle be
came very hot and Lieutenant Ner-
rill jumped to the front and hollered
to his men, Come on The Moros
recognized him as the leader and one
of them jumped to strike him with
weapon something like a sword AT
the time Lieutenant Merrill had a re
peating rifle in his hand. When the
Moro struck at him Lieutenant Mer-
rill warded off the blow from his neck
but the sword came down and struck
him just below one of his knees. cut
ting the flesh to the bone The Moro
raised the sword again to strike at
him and this time Lieutenant Merrill
saved himself further injury by firing
the rife hitting the sword and boring
a hole through it. He quickly fired
Il ag.in. killing the Moro. For his
deed of bravery he was promoted to
second Lieutenant and later while he
WAS on his crutches recovering from
his injury he led his army into battle.
Lieutenant Merrill has passed the ex
animation for captainship. He is
here on a furlough of five months
drawing full pay. He started for
home two months ago.
