THE NEW REPUBLIC, published
by The American Issue Publishing
Company, at Westerville, Ohio, is a
new four-page temperance weekly ed
tied by Mr.. William E. Johnson, late
Chief Officer of the United States
Indian Service. Mr.. Johnson, during
five years of service for the govern
ment, was instrumental in convicting
more than 3,4oo frontier violators of
the law This is a sufficient evidence
of his courage and ability, both of
which appear on the pages of his new
paper, the purpose OF which is to reach
the great masses OF people and rally
them in their own defense against
their greatest foe-the rum traffic.

strongest reasons why we are growing
so rapidly, both as a residential and
manufacturing center is due to the
absence of the saloon. I have it from
high authority that there are fewer
complaints made against our city by
the reform societies and churches
than any community in the common
wealth.
The old cry which was made years
ago which we hear occasionally to-
day, that the city's interests suffer,
and that the taxes would be increased
abnornlally high if we banished the
saloon, is certainly dispelled by the
following facts:
In 1886, the last year of the license
system in Cambridge, the population
was about 10000. Today our popula-
ton has practically doubled, having
10000 people.
The valuation on taxable propertv
has increased from 100000 to $115,ooo.
Savings bank deposits have trebled,
and, as there will always be compe-
tition between the savings banks and
saloons, wherever both exist, this
shows good argument for no-license.
Another significant fact, in 1886
there were about o,7oo children at
tending our public schools, of whom
$40 were in attendance at our high
school. Today we have about 10000
in our pubic schools, of whom over
2,1oo attend our high schools, which
shows more prosperous condition;
so, many years ago, parents who could
not afford to send their children to
the high school after graduation from
the grammar schools, are now able
to give them better education.
SO far as the business interests are
concerned, let me say that Cambridge
has grown so rapidly in the last few
years that it is fast catching UP with
the most important cities in the coun-
try.
A few years ago the three principal
industries of Cambridge were, the
manufacture of books, of musical in
struments and of soap. Today, we
can make the proud boast of having
40 varied industries, numbering in all
200 plants. The industries represent
an invested capital of about thirty-fve
million dollars, employing about 10000
hands, with annual pay rolls of about
eleven million dollars.
In this connection it is pleasing to
observe that these industries pay an
average higher wage than any other
manufacturing city in the common
wealth. In soliciting manufacturers
to locate in Cambridge, one of our
strongest and most effective argu-

PIMPLEs ON FACE AND ARMS

iii Howard ST. Dayton, Ohio
About a year ago my face, neck, arms
and back were beginning to become
afflicted with pimples and b~lackheads.
My pimples would get very large and
appear to come to a head. If tried

them. They itched very badly; l sui

scratching, the pimples would swell
and after the swelling was gone my

caused the itching to be worse. When

ANNOYED AT HIS GOOD LUCK

Tiliman.

Senator Tillman rashly declared
some time ago that the frying Of
chicken was a lost art in Washington.
and ever since that day he has been
deluged with Washington fried chick

that Washington housewives were SO
sensitive.

Gently. Il now admit that Washing
ton fried chicken is superb. But still
every mail brings me more and more
pullets and capons and yearlings. My
case is as hopeless as the commu-
ter's.
"A commuter was in a dreadful
wreck. The collision had been head
on, four coaches were telescoped,
flames burst forth, the shrieks and
groans of the dying mingled with the
hiss Of escaping steam and the oar
of the fire.
"The commuter, black as a coal,
was dragged out by the feet from I'm
der a mound of charred and mangled
corpses.
"a physician bent oyer him anx-
iously.
Are you hurt?' he asked.
THE commuter opened his eyes and
stretched himself. Then, rising. he
snarled:
