E. Mcclure, just because. president of the county

the prosecution of those who illegally sold liquor OF
course, the shooting occurred at night and that
when everything totally dark because of break
down of the light plant
The preacher carried Bible, and the Bible stop

wasn't hurt.
The wet argument is sophistry so long as that

A Question of Mathematics

Steubenvlle is the largest city in Ohio to vote
the Saloons which it did last month The expense
accounts of the contendng interests filed with the
county elections board make interesting reading The
amounts expended
Expended by the drys. ....... $2,oo8o3
Expended by the vets. ........ $3,27oI2
Where did the money come from? The record
shows that of the $2oo893 expended by the drys
ST 2o8 contributed by the churches of Steubep
vile.
The record shows that the collected
fund of $3.50, but only spent $3,27oI2
Practically every dollar contributed to the
fund.- SO far the record shows contributed by
the saoonkeepers brewers and those directly engaged
in the traffic
Where is the who says that it the bus,
mems fight to keep the saloons open in the ip
terest of business?"
Instead of contributing the liquor mems funds
these same business contributed, through the
churches, every dollar that spent to drive the
loon vampires out of business.
The business not quite green as thex
painted by the liquor advocates

Editorial on DR.. Lyman Abbott

By H. H. Culver, Buffalo, New York
The following item published in number Of
papers recently:
One of the country's most brilliant is Dr.
Lyman Abbott the noted editor, and words from his
mouth can be valued words of wisdom. Recently
DIR. Abbott happened to be discussing the traffic in
liquor The discussion centered about the selling
of light wines and beer rs right to drink wine and
beer?" Abbott asked prelude to answering the
question us it right for each individual to decide for
himself and for the community to put such regula
tons on the sale of wine and beer, and only such,
are necessary to prevent popular excuses and public
disorder? DR.. Abbott believes that beer and wine
are beneficial rather than detrimental to mind and body
and takes little stock in the efforts of the Prohibition
lists to curtail the sale of either
The clipping was sent to Dr. Abbott, who said in
reply: 1T completely msrepresents my position
the liquor question" Hefurther stated "The town
in which live, Cornwall, New York. has been
license town for twenty years. and have always in
every no-license campagn actively and publicly work
ed for no-cense testify that in the of that
community no-license has contributed greatly to the
moral social and material welfare of the town.
1t is evident that have with today
of the ancient Cretan whom Paul characterized
ALWAYS liars"-"teaching things which they ought
for filthy lucre's sake"
But we are not satisfied merely to expose the
falsehood. Let make the prevaricators "eat their
words" They call DR.. Abbott of the coun-
trys most brilliant men, and declare that words from
his mouth can be valued as words of wisdom" Very
WE'LL listen to some of his words of wisdom as publish
ed in the Outlook
The evils of the liquor traffic at present carried
on IN the United States enormous great and
patent that the liquor dealers themselves begin
ming to demand reform. The economic burden which
that traffic entails upon the community is hard to esti
mate 1t is prolific source of Of society's great
est burdens poverty and crime But these economic
burdens are the least. The corruption of politics, the
destruction Of families and the degradation of char
acter caused by the excessive of Intoxicating
liquors cannot be estimated at ALL For such evils
there is no standard of measurement
Ponder these words of wisdom, Mr., Liquor Dealer,
and let DR.. Abbott alone.

Saralevo-Archduke Francis Fer
dinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian
and his morganatic wife, the
Duchess Of Hohenberg, were assassin
ated Sunday while driving through
the streets Of Sarajevo, the Bosnian
capital. A youthful Servian student
fired the shots which added another
to the long list of tragedies that has
darkened the reign Of Emperor
Joseph.
The archduke and his wife were
victims Of the second attempt in the
same day against their lives. First
a bomb was thrown at the automobile
in which they were driving to tho
town hall. Forewarned, however, OF
a possible attempt against his life,
the archduke was watchful and
struck the missile aside with his arm.
It fell under an automobile which
carried member of his suite, wound
ing Count Won BOos Waldeck and
Colonel Merizzo.
On their return from the town hall
the archduke and duchess were driv.
ing to the hospital when the Servian,
Gavrio Prinzip, darted at the car and
fired a volley at the occupants. His
aim was true, for the archduke and
his wife we're MORALLY wounded. The
archduke was struck full in the face
and the princess was shot through
the abdomen and throat. With them
at the time was the governor of the
city, who escaped injury. The bod
ies of his murdered companions col
lapsed across him and protected him
from stray bullets.
The governor shouted to the chauf-
fuer to rush to the palace at top
speed. Physicians were in prompt
attendance, but their services were
useless as the archduke and his wife
were dead before the palace was
reached.

The American Farmer.

All things recalled, wouldn't II be
the part Of craftsmanship to do con-
occasionally for the American farmer?
Hes one-fourth of your population,
and the nations best hope. The
American merchant borrows at five
per cent. The American stock gam
bier, producing nothing, accomplish
ing nothing, a merest leech living by
the toll of others, borrows for even
less. The American farmer, with all
that can be said to his good and solv-
ent advantage, must and does pay Sh
per cent.
And all the time the savings and
postal banks are bullying with billions.
IL the government would make two
blades of grass grow where but one
has grown beforehand publicly II
would pay-the wide-hung chance lies
open. Let 1t model action on French
or German lines, and place the farmer
on a borrowing par with the merchant
the manufacturer and the stock job
Der. Let 1t evolve a system of farm
loans which shall put those savings
and postal bank billions at a per cent
within the farmers borrowing reach
