Editorials appearing in liquor journals, letters
from heads of breweries and dsteries, addressed to
firms with which these breweries and dstileres oc-
casonaly do business reports OF addresses made be-
fore liquor dealers conventions-these are some OF the
things that enghten the general public on the brew
ers and disters attitude towards the proposed Pro-
hibton amendment to the constitution

would have regarded the effort to such an
amendment as a huge joke. Not now. 1t has

Drafting Firms Into the Service of the Vets
Elsewhere in this paper will be found copy of
letter from brewer to certain manufactures OF
one of our western cities, politely requesting this
ufacturer to appeal to his congressman and to his
two United States senators their influence to
kill the Prohibition amendment This manufacturer
knew that such an invitation equivalent to COM
mand, and against his convictions and sympathes
in the matter, he protested to his congressman and
senators against the amendment and sent copy OF the

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some
Perrysburg People Know How
to Save 1t.

Many Perrysburg people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are respon-
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and ill health-the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney Pills

of kidney sufferers. Here is Perrys-

Ruled Consumption Infectious.

A novel case recently decided in
Ireland was Gwynne vs.. Clarke in the
Monaghan county court, where the de.
fendant as executor of one Clarke
was sued for damages because Clarke
had obtained lodgings from the plain.
tiff under the false representation
that he was not suffering from an
infectious disease. Plaintiff asked
Clarke at the time he applied if he
didn't have consumption and the lat.
ter was admitted on his assurance
that he had congestion of the lungs.
He died later of consumption. The
testimony at the trial showed that
the plaintiff was unable to rent his
lodgings for long time because of
Clarke's occupancy, but the defendant
argued that consumption is not an
infectious disease. The court held
that what little authority existed on
the point was entirely in plaintiffs s
favor and ruled that since Clarke
falsely represented that he didn't have
consumption he was liable to pay
damages.

A BROKEN SUSPENSE AND
WORD

The ease with which n decision was
finally arrived at In the matter OF the
Wheeling postofice appointment not
only suggests but confirms a previous
understanding as to the selection
made. which makes ridiculous the
much advertised and the formal
character Of the conference held in
this city OF Monday.
The Intelligencer has no complaint
TO make Of the appointment OF Mr..
w. w. Irwin. but 1t is an
ment that Congressman Nicely could
just as well have made some months
ago. or before the election as well as
after. He chose. however. to deceive
the numerous applicants for the Of
nee. encouraging them to believe that
he was still open TO conviction as to
which would be most acceptable 10
the party. leaving his impression up
to he last minute OF the farcicaI
conference at the Windsor Hotel. His
decision had been made long ago. and
he was forced to IL by the same in
~iuences. which have been all power
full in directing all his political acts,
and which need not be named here.
IL was not fair treatment to the nu-
merous candidates and their friends.
each of whom was nursed with some
announcement 10 the last moment.
hut who now. undoubtedly, have a
realizing sense of the fine game that
was played upon them.
Without discussing the question
whether or not DR.. J. ]. O'Kane ought
to have been appointed. 1t still re-
mains a fact that Major Nicely was
solemnly obligated to his selection
through a REORGANIZATION promise.
But what does the word Of a man OF
the character OF Congressman Nicely
amount to-?
