A DeplOrabIe State of Affair.

One can scarcely pick up newspap-
er of late without reading where some
citizen has been assaulted and robbed
somewhere in this section of the state
This frequent waylaying, beating, shoot
ing and robbing of quiet peaceable citi-
zens in the pursuit of their daily avo-
cations takes one back to the days i'm
dediately after the civil war. At this
time this part of the country was in
tested with wandering bands of ''Guer-
illas," camp followers who had preyed
upon both armiesa, nd after the close of
the war and the disbandlng of troops,
they lost their chief prey and their de-
pradations were then directed toward
anyone whom they suspected of being
worth their dastardly visits. Nowadays
the highwaymen are drawn from the
slums of the towns, idle loafers who
hang around blind tigers, never work,
and ply their nefarious calling among
honest hard working men who chance
to fall into their clutches. They are
ever on the lookout for anyone with
money, which they are determined to
have, if not by one means, then by an
other. If countryman comes to town
and happens to visit one of these drink
ing resorts and is seen to have money,
the chances are that he is a marked
man from the time he exhibits his roll
until he is separated from it by these
human vultures. If they cannot invei-
gle him into crap game and rob him,
they will waylay and rob him after
night when he has started home. In
adjoining counties farmers taking
their tobacco to market are forced to
the dire necessity of going heavily ar
med in order to protect their very lives
much less their property.
Such a state of case is an outrage in a
civilized community in this enlightened
time, and the severest penalties of law
should be dealt out to these miscreants
whenever they are caught, regardless
of caste or color.
we dIS Sidu W say IildI lIldIlho W d
vigilant and watchful set of officers,
the fountain head of these offenses, the
blind tiger, does not exist in Lancaster.
AS fast as one rears his head he is
brought to the police court where he is
given such a penalty for his offense,
that when he has satisfied the law, he
is glad to go and sin no more.
The vagrant we have with us, just as
our neighbors have them with them, and
We would suggest a crusade against
this class of citizens. Take up every
idle personal found in suspicious places,
and unless he can give a plausible
means of support, and let no flimsy ex-
cuse be accepted, put him to work on
streets. Goodness knows they need
his labors.
Get rid of the vagrants, the idlers
who will work for you under no kind of
of persuasion, and nine times out of
ten you will rid the community of
thieves, thugs, highwaymen and every
other class of undesirable citizens.

vile ON Monday, and there being no
other candidate for the office of Cir
cult Judge other than Hon. Chas. A.
Hardin of Harrodsburg, he was declar-

ed is foregone conclusion, and if he
makes as good Judge as he has a

no doubt will, his constituents will be

Burley Society Declared A Trust.

Cincinnati, o., Feb. 18.-In an
opinion handed down by Judge Hollis
ter, of the United Court today, the
Burley Tobacco Society, with head
quarters in Lexington, KY, was de-
clared to be trust operating in vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust laws.
The decision came as bombshell to
the Burley Society people who have de-
nounced trust, especially the tobacco
trust, in most bitter language. The
matter will be taken to trial and the
Burley Society will be dissolved unless
it can be shown that it is legal or
ganization.

beef cattle for the market. With the
constant increase of conversion of for

and guarantee it to Danish dandruff,

dressing that makes hair lustrous and

In the spring | was recovering
from a severe case of erysipelas,
which left me virtually bald on the
front of my head and next to my ears.
The hair kept coming out rapidly and
nothing | used stopped my getting
entirely bald, until used two bottles
of PARTISAN SAGE. This tonic
made my hair start to growing and,
in fact, grew me good fair amount
of hair, and it has entirely stopped my
hair falling out.

weeds and clearing of premises

section of Second avenue west of Pine

throughout the city where neatness

that October End does not pass with

prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors and since 1884 prohibition has
been a part of the constitution. In
that year (1884) the question of plac-
ing prohibition in the constitution was
put before the people and prohibition
won by a majority of 45,588, carrying
every county in the state. Following
this the attacks of the anti-prohibi-
tionists ceased for a long time, onlyto
be renewed in later years.
The Democratic party last year
made the question of resubmission of
the constitutional amendment to the
people a plank of it's platform. The
Democrats swept the state in the cleo
ton and the legislature aided by some
Republicans voted to put the matter
before the people.
The apparent decision of the voters
on the face of the returns tonight to
take prohibition out of the constitu-
ton does not mean that liquor can be
lawfully sold The legislature must
act before the present statutory law,
adopted in 1857, can be repealed.

ago. The total vote was:

As has been predicted the cities
We're the chief strongholds of the re-
peal faction, but the majority of 49,
600 in the total city vote was barely
sufficient, according to the latest
available returns to offset the votes of
the rural communities
Although todays vote did not equal
that of year ago when the Demo
Gratis swept the state which for years
had piled up big Republican MAORI
ties, the election was without question
the most interesting contest the state
has ever known. There was not a
home in any section of the state which
had not been flooded with literature
sent out by both sides while the voters
were waited upon by personal workers
and haranged at public gatherings to
cast their ballots for or against re-
peal. The result was that hundreds
of voters who had not visited the polls
for years with the possible exception
OF last year were there today.
Little excitement marked the vot-
ing. Although the polls in some of
the cities were crowded during much of
the time, it was orderly and gave the
officials little or no trouble.

CLEANUP DAY OCTOBER End, 1911.

Editor The News:
The development of civic pride like
all of the other virtues, either in indi-
viduals or communities, is a slow
process. For this reason we are not
going to be discouraged because the
first effort of the committee on Civic
Improvement from the Commercial
Club got such poor results. The edi-
torials in The Daily News were timely
and pertinent, and should be borne in
mind not only by the people in gen
eral, but the Civic Improvement COM
mittee in particular. This committee
has decided to make another earnest
appeal to our people to join in observ-
ing October End as cleanup day."
The sanitary department of the city
will be glad to cooperate as they did
on the last occasion, and persons who
cut and pile weeds or who rake into
heaps, other rubbish, can have the
same removed by calling for Mr. In
nerarity at phone 4.
On last cleanup day there were
some citizens who cut all weeds
around their, premises, had alleys
cleaned, and otherwise evinced true
civic pride. We are quite sure that
those who did this are prouder than
those who didn't.
In calling attention to this matter.
we believe that II our people would
only think of the effect on strangers
caused by'unclean alleys and by va
cant lots with weed jungles thereon,
and consider the great value to every.
body, of a clean city, both from a san
itary and monetary viewpoint, there
would be general awakening on this
subject. After the last cleanup day
