The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1911-10-14

The speaker proceeded at once to
demonstrate that he had freely and
fully stated his position on all i'm
portant matters so far as they had
been disclosed by discussions i'm the
public prints and among the people.
II has been ascertained by the Gin
cinnati Enquirer's symposium, on
this question. published last Sunday.
that two problems with regard to the
new Constitution almost exclusively
enlist public attention. These are
direct legislation and the manage
ment of the sale of ardent spirits The
speaker said 1t was shown by the En-
quirer correspondents report on Mar
ion county that he. the speaker, had
answered all the questions asked
without reservation but that that cor
respondent had reported that two of
his competitors. Norris and Hardness,
refuse to make pledges of any
kind" That correspondent was Mr..
Van Fleet, the city editor of his COM
petitor at Marion, and hence nobody
would claim that the speaker had
been favored In the report.
The lines followed in this discus
sion were somewhat similar to those
at the meeting at Prospect but the
fact was emphasized that one does
not need to go out of Marion county
to find as urgent eXponents of mon
opoly as J. Pierpont Morgan himself.
1t IL not a matter always of vast
wealth. You can find men In Marion
county who are as ready to embeZzle
the peoples money and power and
substitute a government OF Monopoly
for Monopoly and by Monopoly for
that of one OF the People. FOR the
People and by the People as YOU can
In New York. Boston or Chicago.
Watch the man who always apologies
for extortionate tariffs; who always
minmizes the evils of trusts and Big
Business and denies their existence.
who IL opposed to using the powers
of direct legislation or In fact any
thing that will be effective to control
monopolistic corruption; who IL ready
to gouge his own city and his own
people. or anybody else, in eXploita-
tlon of corporate enterprise for his
own advantage; who keeps his people
in ignorance of the real problems Of
his times by giving them anasthesia

breakers and criminals should not be
allowed to profit by their, own crimes
and the men OF Marion county were
called to arise In their wrath and In
their might and smite this treason and
perfidy.
But the joint~keepers and n whole
lot more bootleggers begin TO think
the law is well enough enforced and
they complain that the arrests and
trials are narrowing and unhahdy
and the penalties are too severe.
Meantime. Mr.. Miller who defied the
law brazenly Is gone. fugitive from
Justice, and several other bootleggers
have chosen to decamp also and leave
the scenes of their criminal opera
tions. Now, they say the law is too
drastic--it hurts.
The saloons want to come back to
Marion county but they say these
bootleggers are selling more than
they did before. Then why are the
distillers and brewers setting aside a
million dollars to force the sa-
looms back on the people Of the stateY
That fact proves their story false.
They are in the business to make
money and they desire to use the
system whereby they can sell the
most booze. There is not the fourth
part as much liquor consumed In Ma
rion county as there was under the
regime of the open saloon. In Maine
the bootleggers sell S1.4S per capita
while for our whole country the
amount Is SIS per capita.
The speaker raised the question as
to what saloons require. They are
two things--money and boys-your
boys and mine to wreck their lives
and destroy them. He then asked the
men present If they were willing to
contribute their own boys-the dar-
lings of their homes and the children
of their love and hopes to this fright
full monster which is just now reach
ing out with it's bony hands to pull
them down to destruction, to shame
and drunkard's grave and a drunk
ards hell!
There were other points Calculated
but the speech was an awful arraign-
ment of the criminal and vicious ma
ture of the liquor traffic. Some men
who went to the meeting with the
liquor peoples notions i'm their MINDS
were converted on the spot and saw
new light.

Saloon Problem Discussed by Rev.

Against Liquor Traffic-Claridon
Band Furnishes Masic.

An important meeting was held at
Claridon. Friday evening, to discuss
the big problems now before the peo-
pie of Marion county. Clarldon
sustalns a very excellent silver cornet
band of twelve pieces and they paid
the speakers the compliment of az
tending the meeting and rendering
several selections of very fine music
This band is one OF the very best in
this section OF the country and would
be a great credit to much larger
town than Claridon.
Willis Early was called To the chair
and in opening the meeting said that
the people of Claridon believed that
when a man sought an important Of
fice like that of delegate to the state
Constitutional convention he should
be willing to state what principles
would control his action and how he
would vote on important questions
should he be elected. He then in
troduced II. X. snyder who Is making

sugar-coated. and thereby puts them
to sleep. and you win soon see that
he Is just as much of a monopolist
as the man at the top and is doing
his full share of harm. No, you don't
need go away from home to find men
who would lull to sleep the people of
this country and fix the clutches OF
Monopoly upon them.
The way these pig Iron Princes"
put one over President Roosevelt In
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany's sale to the u. S. steel Com
pany was delineated very fully and
II was made plain that Morgan, Frick
and Gary bamboozled Roosevelt and
secured his consent to let them break
law of the National government,
thus demonstrating that they were
stronger than the government itself
II Is such cases as that one and that
of the Sugar trusts piratica thefts
and relieving the fines back on the
people by raising the price of sugar
from to cents and a thousand
other similar crimes as well as the
corrupting of our municipal councils
and legislatures and executive officers
which call loudly and sternly for re-
dress.
The only remedy which the ages
have discovered Is publicity, and the
Initiative and Referendum which were
developed in Switzerland more than
two hundred years ago and which
are now operative in ten states and
nearly all the cities of the country
and also are indorsed by Gov. Will
son, Gov. Harmon, Gov. Johnson
Gov. Plaisted, Gov. Osborne, Gov
Bass, Col. Roosevelt, Hon. w. ]. Bry-
an, Senators la Toilette. owens, Gore,
Works, Cummins and Clapp and
nearly every other leading statesman
in our country, The manner of oper-
alton of these instrumentalitles was
explained.
The candidates position on the
liuuor question. his proposition 10
treat both of the great segments into
which the people of Ohio are divided
on that problem alike, seemed to be
satisfactory to every one in the house
The points were fully ampliiied and
nothing lodged.
Such suggestions as female suffrage
the short ballot, the Governors cab
inet idea, the commission plan oi
municipal government and revision OF
the jury system making nine jurymen
of the twelve competent to render a
verdict were discussed as tentative
propositions worthy of serious con-
sideration.f
Rev. j w. Miles was present and
made one of the strongest addresses

ion county against the liquor traffic
It went straight to the facts The
speaker. with the exception of John
II. Clark. Is the best posted man in
Marion county with regard to the
"inside" facts and he handled them
without gloves. He was specially
emphatic as to the men who are re-
sponsibe for the partial failure OF
the Rose law and fixed that on the
criminals who keep joints in violation
of the statutes and the two officers OF
Justice who. having taken an oath TO
enforce the law. refuse to do their
duty. That point sunk in like the
stroke of an axe. The speaker asked
shall we do honor to lawbreakers
and criminals by permitting them to
do as they please and break the stat
utes OF the state?"
He took the position that the law
was fairly well enforced, about as well
as that against murder. But law

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they canno
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutions
remedies. Deafness is caused by ar
intlamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube When this tube is infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, deafness is the result, and unless
this inflammation can be taken on
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inf1amed condition of the mu-
GUS surfaces.

YOUNG

No young woman, In the Joy OF
coming motherhood, should neglect

health of both she and her coming
child depends largely upon the care

waiting months. Mother s Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-

makes her comfortable during all the
term. 1t works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all it's

and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
