entire territory of our state shall
be all wet beyond a possibility to
change until changed by a new
constitution, which occurs every
fifty years, so that would mean a
wet rule for nearly fifty years to
come, as we have just passed an
epoch of fifty years. That the
adoption of the wet amendment
would have such effect admits of
no. possibility of doubt. 1t is the
most dastardly and infamous at +.
temptato fasten the saloon upon
the state, that was ever attempt
ed under a guaze so. apparent
that the most stupid intellect
ought to be able to discern it.
Think of it. an attempt to tie the
hands Of the state or it's people
from legislating upon the sub
ject, and if adopted. to wipe out
by that one stroke of the pen
legislation now upon the statute
books forbidding the sale of in
toxicating liquors to persons
drunk or in the habit of getting
drunk; to minors, from morning
to night and from night to NOR
ming and thus continue from day
in and day out, month in and
month out, and year in and year
out, without cessation, keeping
the mill grinding, spreading
drunkenness and all it's attend
ant evils without remedy. This
thing seems so monstrous to me
that ] cannot conceive how the
voters of our state would think
of committing such folly and
wrong. l feel convinced they
will do no such thing if informed
OF the effect of such voting. Let
the voters who haye any concern
for the good name of the state
and the welfare of the people
vote no on this proposition and
yes on the dry amendment pro-
posed for adoption and all will be
well, the escutheon of our peer
less state otherwise be saved and
untarnished and a fit. heritage to
transmit to unborn generations.

outrageous Charge Against Farmers

Says the Dayton, O., Journal: Gov.
Cox defends the Warnes tax act, be-
cause, as he argues, the farmer is dis
honest and win not return his proper
share of the tax duplicate. The farm.
er also corrupts elective tax assessors
SO that in order to compel him to be
honest, Cox figures he, the governor,
must appoint incorruptible assessors
who will see to it that the farmer
doesn't hide his horses and cornfeld,
his barn and silO. away from the in
Ouisitor. What an outrageous charge
against the farmers Of Ohi0."

and like crimes were committed
at places distant from here, un-
til last Wednesday night shortly
after dark and on the highway a
short distance north of our vii
lage two persons were held ur
by a couple of young negroes.
From the one they got two cents
and from the other about 81. SO.
The latter they shot twice, first
through the arm and second thrO'
the thigh, infiicting serious flesh
wounds. Van Wilcox was the
victim of the shooting and is re-
covering nicely from it. The
neA roes escaped and have not
since been apprehended so far as
We scribe knows.

ted that if Carranza and Caroalal
reach an agreement it will be con-
sidered that the terms arranged at
Niagara Falls have been complied
with and there will be immediate
recognition of the provisional govern

This is considered necessary so
that Carranza can get the cash need
