Home Rule FdRiYS

The liquor dealers of Ohio sit up nights to preach
home rule They both dgent and noseful in their
demands-when home rule spells rule.
At the recent Ohio elections, the drys had home

What did these urban home ruler fa<irs do about
that? They anonted the bboards of the cities
which were not at all affected by the measure, with
peadings that the home rule advocates vote against
the home rule measure.
Now the reports filed with the secretary of
state, and which show that the of $I3,548 was
spent to defeat the home rule Of this
amount, the report shows that $1,000 expended
by the brewers and distlers the very men who claim
to be the champions of home rule in Ohio.

Essay on Citizenship

In refusing citizenship papers to Samuel s. King
man, rumseler of Moorehead Minnesota, Judge
Charles A. Pollock, of Fargo, North Dakota, said:
Il will not grant citizenship to any person
gagged in selling Intoxicating liquor. They can't satisfy
this judge that who sells Intoxicating liquor is
fit for citizenship"
The judge struck the key to vital point when he
turned down Kngman's application.
If is engaged in business that is uni
versally conceded to be great of crime, pow
erty and disease, why should he be admitted to ct
zenship?
If a man is engaged in undermining the health, the
welfare and the morals of people, why should he be
admitted to their ranks good citizen?
General Mcclellan said that if drink elm
mated it would be equivalent to the addition of $4,000
trained soldiers to the army. Why should the
who are engaged in the business of checkmatng and
destroying the work of their countrys army be ad-
mitted to citizenship?
If is engaged in the business of pulling
down and destroying the people, why should he be
admitted to citizenship where he transact his
nefarous profession more effectively?
What is the sense in establishing school in
town to develop high order of citizenship and then
extend the rights of citizenship a score of loafers
each running an establishment to pull down the work
of the schools?
Judge Pollock uttered bit of fine North Dakota
Klingman something worth thinking about.

The reorganization OF the Anti-Saloon League.
perfected at the Columbus convention is in line with
the spirit of the age. 1t is merely an application Of
the commission form of government that has been
such demonstration in efficiency in hundreds of NIL
inequalities throughout the nation. So much SO that
there has arisen potent demand that the same idea
be applied to states themselves.
The new organization is fine example of eccesias
t1cal democracy. The religious state bodies each
choose trustees which constitute the governing BODY
OF the state League The state League chooses its
quota OF representatives the national Board of

campaign.
In greater degree than ever, the movement be-
comes the "church in action against the saloon"
One gratifying and significant feature of the Co.

party Prohbitionsts. Nearly one hundred of the
leaders present. and of the foremost men in
the party the program and deliberated in the
proceedings.
Two three who had been yelling for national

to knock that very proposal.

PRICE OF EXISTENCE

What we KNOW is what counts
Nature is unrelenting in requiring
knowledge as the price of existence
and every penalty that we pay is one
assessed against ignorance. Ignorance
is not only curse but is the ONLY
thing that prevents us from doing any
thing that we may want to. Death
is the final price
Mosquitoes in the south were the
carrying means Of yellow fever. AS
soon as they KNEW ENOUGH to
pour a little kerosene on the water
in which the insects bred, yellow
fever epidemics ceased.
1t is by similar increase of
knowledge that we know how to re-
leve headaches, dizziness, smarting
eyes and poor vision, that are caused
by LITTLE eye defects that are in
visible to the patient.
Lots OF people are going through
this life carrying useless burdens in
the form Of headaches. nervousness,
ETC., just because they won't take ad-
vantage of what is KNOWN; and II
APPLIED in their case would remove
the CAUSE of their suffering.

amined by reliable specialist and he

what you expect

attractive and springlike color scheme

trailing vines and brilliant blossoms
graced the center of the hall and in a
bower of pale green, four lovely girls
of the younger set served pineapple
sherbet and waters. The girls were
the Misses Marie Millick, Ora Rogers,
Blanche Dunn and Grace Peck. Cory

thoughtful hostesses and nothing was
