methods of presenting great truths to
the people. wish in this connection
first to compare the liquor traffic to
murder. Legally speaking murder is
the "Willful, malicious taking of human
life or in other words, THE act of one
person in bringing another to prema-
ture grave The two counts that |
bring against the liquor traffic in this
Indictment are these: The shorting of
the lives of its victims. Two witnesses
are sufficient to prove this; science on
the one hand and business on the other,
each testify to the effect that the in
dividual beginning the use of alcohol as
beverage at the age of twenty and
continuing during life, shortens his days
more than thirteen years. Ladies and
gentlemen, | indict the liquor traffic as
murderer.
The liquor traffic incites to murder.
There is not one here tonight but what
believes that the usees of alcoholic
beverages incites to murder, but let me
prove it, and the first witness | place
upon the stand is the court docket of
this country which prove that SO per
cent of the murders of this country
result from the uses of alcoholic liquors.
There were ten thousand murders in the
United States last year, more than nine
thousand of them occasioned by the use
of alcoholic liquors.
My second indictment against the
liquor traffic is that it is a thief. The
legal definition of thief is: 1.-THE act of
one individual taking from another that
of worth or value" Does the liquor
traffic take any thing of worth from its
victim? Does it take the manhood from
the man, the womanhood from the
womon? Does it blight, mildue and
curse every person whom it touches?
Let me tell you something, friends, of
my personal experience. One Saturday
night little over week before the
famous earthquake that shook the city
of San Francisco into the sea, l was in
that city, went at midnight into the
wickedest section of that city, Bar
bara Coast" | wanted first handed in
formation as to the wickedness of that
part of the city, | penetrated into the
district two blocks and saw by actual
count thirty-seven drunk women. They
were drunk, unable to walk nearly all
of them wiping their own vomit with
their own dress-skirts; a sight horrible
to behold. Had these women been rob-
bed? Don't tell me they had not, and

they were robbed by the liquor traffic.
Ladies and gentlemen, l resolved than
and there that my life should be devot-
ed to fight against the liquor traffic
until went to heaven or the traffic
went to hell. But Oh! are these the
only people that are robbed? What
about the mother that looses the son,
the wife that looses the husband, the
child that looses father, have they
been robbed? | indict the liquor traffic
as a thief, robber, what should be the
attitude of the government toward it?
Shall |, need continue this arraign-
ment of the liquor traffic? The picture
is black enough, your conscience is
sufficiently aroused. What shall we do
with it?
In view of the fact that governme mt
exists to protect citizenship and that
law is the highest expression of that
government. What should be its atti-
tude toward the liquor traffic? citizen
ship, it must be apparent to all that the
only proper attitude for government to
assume should be one of open, avowed,
absolute and total Prohibition. Is not
this the concensus of opinion as held by
all here to night?

Chip Meets Brown Tuesday Night
McGoorty Whips Smith.


If George Chip doesn't whale the
everlasting daylights out of Knockout
Brown in Akron, o., Tuesday night
there will be strong suspicion that he
was not beaten by Al Mccoy on a
fluke.
Right now the admirers of the
Scranton Greek are claiming that he
was caught unaWares in the fight
with Mccoy and fell a victim to a
lucky punch.
Brown is a tough customer, a fine
punching bag. He is easy enough to
hit, but hard to put away. Chip
should be able to walk all around him
and put home stout blow whenever
he wants to. To make a really i'm
pressive showing, one that will eradi-
cate memories of the Mccoy defeat,
Chip must win by a knockout.
Eddie McGoorty is going back or
Dave Smith of Australia is a much
improved fighter. The Oshkosh man

The twenty-round fight between
Willie ,Ritchie and Harlem Tommy
Murphythis week on the coast is the
evenest battle that has been staged
among the topnotchers for some time
and many of the wise followers of the
mittmen are stringing along with the
Harlemite for victory.
Certainly Murphy will put up a
tough battle and the mill is liable to
go the full limit. In that case Richie
must put through some damaging
blows to earn the verdict, as Murphy
is a clever man, a veteran, and up in
the finer points of his profession.
From this distance it is Rit-
chie's fight. The champion has shown
ability enough to warrant the odds of
80 to 6, which prevail. Murphy is the
best man he has met since winning

Federal League Opens Season Today
-Sox and Maps Ready.

The lid will be tilted today, pre-
liminary to the grand baseball blow
off tomorrow. =
Baltimore and Buffalo of the Fed
eral League are the teams which
will inaugurate the major season, and
impressive ceremonies will be gone
through before the combat The
preparations would make Charley Eb-
bets, the dean of dedicators, greeI
with envy if he were there to watch
the proceedings.
A half holiday has been declared in
all business houses in Baltimore in
honor of the occasion. The mayor
will toss the first ball, and the mayor
of Buffalo will also head a party to
root for the Bisons. President Gil
more and Owners Weeghman of the
Chifeds and Ward of Brooklyn will be
on hand to watch the. fray.
But Baltimore is long way off.
Our own doings are bright enough
to occupy attention hereabouts.
Both Sox and Maps are in town,
waiting the umpire's word to tear at
each other tomorrow in the first bat
tie of the long trail for the pennant.
Callahan and his band come into
town this morning. The men scatter
ed to find boarding places, and were
ordered to report, at the park at 1
o'clock for the final workout before
the game.
Every regular in the squad appear
ed to be in excellent condition. AL
cock, Blackburne's leading rival for
the second base position, and Jim
Scott and Eddie Cicotte, one of whom
will pitch tomorrow, were the CEN
tiers of the fans interest. A large well
coming crew was on hand. and gave
the players the careful once over.
Ping Bodie, who always attracts
his share of attention, complimentary
or otherwise, was pleasant surprise
to the stay-at-hOmes. Of course, Ping

MANY THOUSAND LIVES
LOST.

Toxic, Japan. 13.-Thousands,
perhaps hundred thousand, are
dead and one of the fairest Sec
tions of the empire has been d.
yastated as the result Of the vol
canic eruption, earthquakes AMI
tidal waves in Southern Japan. 1t
is believed the disaster may prove
the worst in the history OF Japan,
and probably one Of the greatest
modern world was known.
The loss Of life and property
increases with every report from
the scene of the disaster. The
government believes it will be
several days before even an ap-
preximat to tai can be given.
The fsrt official report said only
a hundred were burned to death
by the eruption Of the volcano
Sakura-Jima.
If the city Of Kagoshima has
not been destroyed, it is believed
to be in imminent danger.
The full extent Of the disaster
could not be ascertained to-day,
rs all communication was cut of
from the stricken district south
Of Kumamete, eighty or ninety
miles north of Kagsshima,

INSURANCE LAWS.

There should be a provision
prohibiting the exaction Of an
insurance charge for what is
really not insured, or rather a
loss not paid for in ease OF fire.
This is what is known as the
"threeIfourths" clause, under
which the insured, in case of loss,
is paid only three -fourths the
amount of the policy, though he
pays a premium on the entire
amount. For example: A
house is insnred for $1,000 aud a
premium paid on that amUlHt.
Yet, il destroyed BY fire, lie d
paid only $4,000. However, we
understand that if he can prove
greater loss than $4,000 he can
recover more. But why should
premium be charged for the
full amount on a contingency In
short, If house is insured for
$4,000 and premium paid on
$4,000 and the house is DESTROYED
by fire, the owner Of the policy
should receive $4,000. Why he
should be required to pay a
premium on what he does not
get is not clear to the general
public. c.-Vermilion News.

MEXICO IN DEFAULT IN
BOND INTEREST.

Mexico City, Jan. 13.-After a
meeting of the Cabinet, which
lasted until early this morning,
the Mexican foreign minister,
Querido Moheno, announced that
the Mexican Government will de-
fault in the payment Of all III.
terest on the bonds Of the inter.
nal and external debts which now
remains unpaid or which falls
due within the next six months.
A heavy payment of interest on
the foreign debt comes due in
April.
1t has been the practice of the
government to make weekly re-
mittances to New York, London
and Paris to apply On its inter.
est obligations in order that when
the interest payment periods ar.
rived the money would be in
hand. These weekly remittances
now have been suspended, the
explanation being that the gov
ernment requires all available
funds for pacification purposes.
The foreign minister said also
that he had been instructed to
notify all foreign governments
Of the default.
The principal internal and ex-
ternal loans of Mexico are held
for the most part in the United
States, Great Britain, France and
Germany.
