WATKINS DISCUSSES
LIQUOR QUESTION
Lecturer at Cambridge City
Predicts Prohibition
in Future.
Palladium Special)

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, Aug. l.
Advancing the belief that prohibition
would be a reality in the near future.
DR.. Aaron S. Watkins discussed the
temperance question in all its phases
on the chautauqua platform yesterday
afternoon. 'One Hundred Years on
the Water Wagon was the subject OF
the talk in which he said that the
liquor question abides today because
the people have been fooled by the
liquor traffic.
Ballot Not Sufficient.
Dr. Watkins considered the religious
temperance movement, the moral SEN
timent, the business attitude. and the
political phase of the question. He
stated that the issue can never be set
tied by the ballot alone, and empha-
sized the fact that a different method
must be used. The people must obey
laws when they are made, he said.
His concluding statement was that
prohibition does not exist in any state
where liquor can come from an adjOin-
ing county or state.
Made Snowballs.
In his lecture dealing with the Won
ders of science, Prof. Louis Williams
performed many experiments which
We're interesting, at the same time
showing how an application of scien-
tifc principals has and will make this
world a more healthful place in which
to live. In one experiment he made
snowballs with which he pelted the au-
dience, even though the sun was siz-
Zling upon the tent roof.
Mr.. Ernest Zechiel. an Indiana boy
gave a short but delightful musical
program. Mr.. Albert c. Inquest, the
tenor soloist, was sick and unable to
appear.

LIBERTY, Ind, Aug. IA large
crowd that filled the chautauqua tent
heard Warden J. X. Codding, of the
Kansas state prison, deliver the first
lecture on the program yesterday az
ternoon.
He told he story of a nineteen year
old criminal who was placed in the
prison, and how proper treatment
made a man of the boy. He stated
that seventy-seven per cent of the
2300 convicts under his care attribut-
ed their downfall to the saloon. Idle
ness and lack of proper home train
ing materially increased the number
of criminals and degenerates in the
last few years.
Going a step farther, he asserted
that there was a close relation be
tween the criminal, the police and the
higher ups" of city administration
"a He cited instances where investga-
ton had substantiated this charge.
The splendid harmony of the Weir
man Ladies' quartet which furnished
served approval of the audience. Ell
sic Jane Wrate's readings were not
the usual stereotyped selections, but
sparkled with clever wit, which her
Interpretation brought out effectively.
The evening program was furnished
by the same persons, Mr.. Codding de-
. livering a lecture on What Made
Kansas" which contained the same
hard sense that characterized the af-
ternoon talk.
Local people are unanimous in say
ing that If the other numbers are up
to the standard of the first days pro,
gram, the chautauqua will be a sue
cess.

Senator Lane Believes That the
Measure Of August 2, 1894, Has
Not Been Enforced.

report on why the Capital Traction Com

free transfers at junction points, have
not been prosecuted for violations of the

as follows:
