= The dispensaries all over the state
are nothing more than open barrooms
the way they are conducted now. This
condition of affairs has got to stop.
The law forbids 1t and I will enforce
the law" The above statement was
made last Wednesday by Harvey w.
Mitchum, the newly appointed dispen-
sary auditor for the state. Mr.. Mitch
um was representative from Claren-
don county when he was appointed by
Governor Blease. Mr.. Mitchum con-
tinued by stating that whisky was sold
without the signing Of blanks as re-
quired by law and that liquor was sold
to minors and drunkards, which Is In
violation Of the statutes. He said that
probably this was not the condition In
all the dispensaries; but some Of them
most assuredly did violate the law IN
many respects. Mr.. Mitchum SAID
he is a sworn officer Of the law and
he intends to see that the dispensaries
are rightly conducted during his ad-
ministration. In Il circular letter
which he will shortly send to the dis
pensaries, Mr.. Mitchum will insist on
blanks being properly filled out and
the purchasers Of liquor shall be re-
quired to attach their signatures be-
fore receiving the intoxicants.

Although in many cases 1t was still
more or less doubtful as to whether
the ground was dry enough, the farm
ers have managed to get in quite a
lot of plowing during the week and
many have already planted corn. With
favorable weather conditions next
week, large part Of the county will
be turned over. ...,.s
Speaking Of that thirty thousand
dollar loan that York county had to
make this year, 1t Is not right that peo-
pie should get the idea that 1t Is due
altogether to the washing away of
bridges last spring. Some Of 1t is be-
cause Of expenses in connection with
the holding of unnecessary terms Of the
court Of common pleas, and it is up to
the members of the general assembly
to cut these terms down to actual re-
quirements. ~.

The news that the Democratic party
is desirous Of building up the mer-
chant marine and is considering the
matter even to the extent Of giving an
indirect subsidy by means Of pref
erential tariff duty, Is interesting. The
Enquirer has believed for many years
that it is to the commercial interest Of
this country to build up a merchant
marine, and we do not know how such an
object can be obtained except by means
of some kind of subsidy. 1t has never
been a part Of our desire to establish
a system that would add to the wealth
and power Of transportation trusts.
and of course we recognize this as a
possibility under any kind Of a sub
sidy system.

We are inclined TO think that the
educational question is going to figure
more largely in the next campaign
than ever before, the main point be-
ing the proportion Of the peoples
taxes that should go to the common
schools and the proportion that should
go to the higher institutions. 1t will
not surprise us If this proposition over
shadows all efforts to emphasize COM
pulsory education, which we are in
clined to think will figure as a Sec
ondary consideration.

According to dispatches Of last
night, it is evident that the loss Of life
at Dayton, Ohio. and other places in
the food-swept districts Is not as
heavy as was indicated by earlier re-
ports. 1t is not yet possible to get a
correct idea of the exact situation; but
daring Investigations by boatmen and
others have disclosed that hundreds
of people who were thought to have
been drowned are still safe. 1t Is
quite certain however, that hundreds
Of lives have been lost, and even
though the disaster may have been
less disastrous than was first reported,
it is nevertheless horrible.

THE PARCELS POST

Believing as we do in the parcels
post, and to facilitate the sale of arti-
cles produced by people in the country
to the people in the towns and to their
neighbors, we would like to see devel-
opment Of this business.
Under conditions as they have
grown up. most farmers and most
farmers wives who sell butter, eggs,
and the like, either have arrange
ments whereby they send such pro,
duce to regular customers or depend
upon peddling the same more or less
aimlessly about town during occasion
al visits.
1t Is a clear proposition that the in
dividual who takes a perishable COM
modify to a town in which the market
is inactive is at a disadvantage. Peo-
pie who have regular sources Of sup
ply are not disposed to bother about
looking elsewhere even for a small in
ducement, and then there Is q very
general tendency of human nature to
take advantage Of people who appear
to be at a disadvantage, as for in
stance folks trying to sell some article
for which there is no active demand.
Now, it occurs to The Enquirer that
people who are prepared to furnish
on orders such articles as butter, eggs,
uTeSSeu CllchenS, lTeSu CtLDudSe, lcl-
tuce or other articles that may be de-
livered by parcels post, might do we'll
to give the public information Of the
same through advertisement, and to
that end, with a view to developing
the business, we will make this prop
osition:.
During the month Of April we will
publish free Of charge for any sub
scriber of The Enquirer, not engaged
in regular merchandising, advertise
ments not exceeding ten lines In
length, offering for sale any farm COM
modify that may be delivered by par
cells post. This offer Is intended only
for articles actually produced by the
advertiser. The form Of advertise
ment under contemplation Is some
thing like this:

Adrianople, the former Turkish cap"
ital, withstood the siege of a great
Bulgarian army for over five months,
the first gun having been fired at the
fortress October 5. Shukri Pasha, the
commander in chief, had under him
within the encircling forts what was
considered the flower Of the Turkish
regular army. The main portion Of
the garrison consisted Of the fourth
army corps, which had added many
regiments and batteries who had been
drawn in before the advancing Bulga-
rian army.
The Notifications which had been
subjected to almost continuous bonn
bardment by hundreds Of field and
siege guns for about 160 days were
very strong. They consisted Of forty
modern forts composing a semi-circle
around the northern half Of the city
from east to west with minor works
between. On the south Of the city
there was also a series of forts but
much dependence was placed on the
character Of the ground there which
was formed Of treacherous marshes.
The city contains about $4,000 in
habitants, half Of whom are Turks
and the others Armenians. Israelites
and Greeks.

ADRlANOPLE FALLS
BuIearians Take Old Turkish City at
last ..


Last. ...
The city of Adrianople, which the
Bulgarians have been beleaguering for
five months and which the Turks have
been defending with the most desper-
and with the city the Notifications
along Tchatalja lines.
Shukri Pasha, the defender of Adri-
anop.e, on Wednesday afternoon hand
ed his sword to Gen. Savoff, the Bull
garian generalissimo. after he had
carried out a threat to destroy the
town rather than let 1t fall into the
hands Of the enemy. When the Bull
garians entered, the arsenal stores and
much Of the town was in flames.
The battle which preceded the sur
render commenced Sunday night with
a three hours bombardment. Later
the besieging troops in the east ad-
vanced at double quick under the
glare of searchlights to attack the ad-
vance works at Maslak. After fierce
defense lasting throughout Monday.
the Turks retired from the forward
forts.
After moving forward toward the
The attack was renewed Tuesday,
and Wednesday the important inner
forts were taken after hard fighting.
Accounts of the battle which come
from Bulgarian sources make no mem
ton of the Servians. There seems to
have been a great deal Of jealousy.
The Servians, who have only issued a
brief report Of the capture, divide
credit with their allies. According to
a dispatch received at Belgrade from
Mustapha Pasha. the sacrifices were
very heavy. The Servian Thirteenth
and Bulgarian Eighteenth regiments
were blown up by mines, and other
regiments sustained great losses.
In Adrianople itself there is also
much work for doctors and nurses.
The garrison, which was estimated
at from 10000 to $4,000, will probably
be found t. have been considerably
reduced.
The people of the town are said to
be panic stricken and even Europe.
from the history Of previous wars,
fears the occupation may be accompa-
MED by indiscriminate slaughter.
The capture of Adrianople has caus-
ed rejoicing at all the Slav capitals. At
st. Petersburg the news was received
while the duma was in session, with
DR.. Daneff, head Of the BULGARIAN
peace delegation in London, and the
Bulgarian minister, M. Bobthcheff. as
guests.
The deputies rose and cheered. DR..
Daneff and his companion were car
ried shoulder high to Catherine hall,
where the Russian and Bulgarian an
thems were sung.
No news has been received from
Constantinople, but 1t Is feared that
when the capture Of Adrianople be-
comes known another revolution may
occur. II Tchatalja has fallen there Is
likely to be a dangerous inflow Of de-
feated troops.

day of gruelling work, volunteer work
ers have recovered more than half a
hundred bodies from the Big Miami
river and Wolf creek and saved up
ward Of 500 who for two days have
been clinging to roofs or living In up
per stories. With the coming OF night
fall the efforts to rescue more persons
were slackened and all OF Dayton, not
in the central flood district, waited In
dread for the nightly fires which have
added horrors to the already terrible
situation. No fires have been in the
central district since noon but the
knowledge that thousands Of persons
are trapped on upper floors OF the
buildings where help cannot reach
them adds terror to the night. The
water in all inundated districts has
fallen from three to five feet today and
the current Of the river and creek has
slackened so that 1t Is possible, except
in the center, for small boats to reach
sufferers. A company Of the Ohio Ma
tional Guard is patrolling the streets
Of West Dayton.

enacted today were heartrending and
the most pitiful are being witnessed
at the temporary morgues.
At the West Dayton morgue frantic
crowds all day and tonight watched
every body brought in hoping against
hope 1t was not that Of some loved
one. Women became hysterical at
times when searching for missing
