The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1915-10-08
And Taking Proper Support
From The President
Statement On Subject Issued
By Committee

statement that fairness, decency in
politics., and loyalty to the president in
this hour of the nations peril, demand
that the Sprague act should be reject
ed" the Democratic state central and
executive committees and hosts OF
leading Democrats met Monday in Co.
lumbus to open campaign against the
obnoxious gerrymander. The denial
was offered that the referendum was
partisan unless to support the presi-
dent and deal fairly with him in the
apportionment of congressman was al
SO partisan. Arrangements were made
to go at once into the campaign for
solicitation of mo" votes. The COM
mittee further issued statement in
viting attention to the McDermOtt ref
erendum as follows:
'The people of Ohio will this fall
be called upon to approve or reject
the McDermott liquor license act pas
sed by the last general assembly. A
mo- vote will reject the McDermott
act and continue in force the present
efficient Greenlund act.
Though the referendum on the Nc
Dermott act was brought without ac-
tion of the Democratic committees,
these committees feel it proper to in
vite the attention Of all voters, re-
gardless of party, to the situation. Let
the voters consider the merits of the
present Greenlund law, which central
ICES the authority to enforce all IL
cense and regulatory laws without
fear or favor of local influence, and
which has demonstrated itself efficient
in every test. Let them consider the
McDermott act, which decentralizes all
the law enforcement authority, elimin-
ates central responsibility, makes the
conduct of the saloon conform to local
prejudice, and injects the saloon ques-
ton into every county election.
"By decision of the amendment to
the constitution of Ohio in 1912 license
of saloons in some form was made
the result 1t is now to be either the
Greenlund law or the McDermott law;
the former makes somebody RESPONSE
BILE for law enforcement while the lat
ter holds nobody responsible and
makes for local laxity or local oppres-
sion
"'rhe Democratic party is not con-
cerned in the authorship of the Nc.
Dermott referendum, but that referen
dunn having been brought, it's commit
tees urge upon the people the careful
consideration of the present law, pas
sed by the Democratic general assem-
bly, of 1918 in compliance with consti
tutional demand. The law enforce
ment and inflexible, automatic action
of the Greenlund law is impossible un
der the McDermott act"

THE KILLING OF A WILD BOAR
Thrilling Chapter From Rooseyclt's
EYDeriences.

We had been out about three hours
when one of the dogs gave tongue in
a large belt OF woodland and jungle
to the left of our line of march
through the marsh. The other dogs
ran to the sound, and after while
the long barking told us that the
thing, whatever 1t was, was at bay or
else In some refuge. We made our
way toward the place on foot. The
Gogs were baying excitedly at the
mouth of a hollow log, and very short
examination showed us that there
were two peccaries within, doubtless
boar and sow.
However, Just at this moment the
peccaries bolted from an unsuspected
opening at the other end of the log.
doVe into the tangle and instantly dis
appeared, with the hounds in full cry
after them. 1t was 20 minutes later
before we again heard the pack bay-
Ing, and by the incessant swinging OF
the machetes we opened trail
through the network of vines and
branches. This time there was only
one peccary, the boar. He was at bay
In half hollow stump. The dogs
were about his head, raving with eX-
citement, and it was not possible to
use the rifle, so / borrowed the spear
Of Doutor Joao, the younger, and
killed the fierce little boar Herewith.
This was collared peccary, smaller
and less fierce than its white-lipped
<insfolks. 1t is a valiant and trucu-
lent little beast, nevertheless, and IL
given the chance will bite a piece the

TWO GOLDEN DAYS.

(By ROBERT j. BURDETTE).
There are two days of the week
upon which, and about which, never
worry, Two care-free days kept
sacredly free from fear and appre-
hensioh.
One of these days Is yesterday.
Yesterday with all it's cares and frets
with all its pains and aches, all its
faults, its mistakes and blunders, has
passed forever beyond the reach Of
my recall / cannot undo an act that
l wrought, l cannot unsay a word
that | said on yesterday All that it
holds Of life, OF wrong, of regret and
sorrow, is in the hands of the Mighty
Love that can bring sweet waters out
Of the bitterest desert-the love that
can make the wrong things right,
that can turn weeping into laughter,
that can give beauty for ashes, the
garment of praise for the spirit Of
heaviness, joy of the morning for
the woe of the night.
Save for the beautiful memories
that linger, sweet and tender like
the perfume of roses in the heart Of
the day that is gone, l have nothing
to do with yesterday. 1t was mine.
1t Is Gods.
And the other day I do not worry
about Is tomorrow Tomorrow with
all It's possible adversities, its bur-
dens, Its perils, its large promise and
poor performance, its failures and
mistakes, Is as far beyond the reach
or my mastery as its dead sister, yes
terday. 1T is a day of Gods. Its
sun will rise in roseate spiendor, or
beyond mask of weeping clouds.
But II Will rise Until then the same
love and patience that held yester-
day, and holds tomorrow, shine with
tender promise into the heart of to-
day. l have no possession in that
unborn day of grace. All else is in
the infinite keeping Of that Infinite
Love that holds for me the treasure
OF yesterday, the love that is higher
man the stars, wider than the sky,
deeper than the seas. Tomorrow? IL
Is Gods day-lt will be mine.
There Is left for myself, then, but
one day of the week-today ANY
man can fight the battles of today.
ANY woman can carry the burdens of
lust one day. Any man can resist tho
temptations of today. 1t is only when
TO the burdens and cares of TODAY.
carefully measured out to us by the
infinite wisdom and might that gives

so shall thy strength be" we wilfullv

WILLIAM HERBERT BAGLEY

There is man in the office Of the
! Usage oklahoma Gas co. which pro-
| Nldes your warmth and fuel that you
| nave probably cusscd more times than
/ You have fingers and toes, just be.
! cause he has rather unusual way Of
| insisting that your gas bills be paid
| promptly on the 10Th, and If they are
| not paid by the 18th there is man
right there with a wrench to shut off
the street connection and then you
raise cain because there Is a charge
or one dollar for rccounection
It Is curious thing that the men
who really and strictly attend to their
own business are the most abused and
II Is also singular and curious that
William Herbert Bagley, in charge OF
lhe operating department, has less OF
not AR IN his composition, although
there is some in his pipe lines that
impecunious and negligent customers
expect that he should wait their con-
Venlence in paying bills and they al
ways get disappointment when they
go TO his office. OF course in their
trec and easy way the customers for.
get that the employees of the COM
pany must be paid regularly and
promptly and that the only way the
company has Of meeting payrolls is
10y the collection Of It's bills. The
World has found out long before this
that the way to offend some folks is
TO hand them a bill SO it is with
TINS mythical Bagley person.
For man who has occupied such
n conspicuous position in Tulsa for
more than nine years Mr.. Bagley has
been the least advertised. In fact
ne lets his business, the growth of
the company stand as the best adver-
t1EHInnnt 4
ministrative ability. And be it said
that the picture herewith presented
rs the first that has been taken of |
nm in seven years and he had to be |
ham -stringed and hog-tied before the |
photographer of The World could Get |
a shot Of him.
There are just a few points about |
Bagley which stand out like the |
searchlight on dark night. He was |

pelhS Crestllne, o. He got In the |
gas business when he was a, lad and |
was with the Logan Natural Gas Co.
for six years. Then that master of
the gas business, Glenn 7. Braden, ap- |
preciating his talent, brought him to
oklahoma and he has been right here
in Tulsa for all the rest of the time.
Ihere is not a thing about the

MIR. TAFT AND PROHIBITION.

Mr.. Taft has thrown n bombshell
into the ranks OF the prohibitionists
by his recent disapproval Of the
movement for nationwide enforce.
mcnt To those familiar with the
record OF Mr.. Taft and the judicial
cast OF his mind no other position
was possible for him to assume. Mr..
Taft on the bench and from tho
White House has frequently pro-
tested against the growing desire on
the part OF large number OF people
TO take from the states the last vestige
OF police power and regulation and
vest all OF the machinery for the en-
forcemont OF law In the hands of the
federal government and pointed out
succinuy and forcefully that such
"a consummauon would be the longest
step toward the destruction OF indi-
yidual liberty that had been taken
In the history OF the republic. Mr..
Tafts contention is that the federal
government already has too much
power. that already with an army OF
spies and a complete system OF
espionage through the excuse OF col
lecting the income tax It invades
every mans home and requires him
10 disclose every detail OF his busi-
ness and he very logically adds that
Z this obnoxious inspection is being |
ised in the enforcement Of the in.
,ome tax law. how much more de-
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1915-01-10

testable would 1t be in the case of
the attempted enforcement Of a ma
tion-wlde prohibitory law2
Another thing which the former
president brings to mind is that at
last prohibition or temperance is
question between a man and his own
conscience. The man who wants to
be a teetotaler needs not the encour-
agement of a statute to make him so
nor can all the statutes which were
ever devised by the brain of man
deter a man from getting liquor II
he desires It and makes up his mind
to get 1t. 1t is a matter of individual
conviction just as religion is a mat
ter Of individual selection. Not all
the legislative bodies In the world
could force all of the people of thls
or any other country, not even all OF
the people of this town, to embrace
the creed OF a particular church. Nor |
can all OF the legislative bodies in
the world make cabbage digestible
to tho person with whom It disagrees.
OF course Mr.. Taft will get excori.
ated by the fanatics who feels
heaven-sent call to reform everything
and anything under shining sun, but
the sensible men and women of
America are not swept off their
feet by temporary waves of seismic
agitation or abysmal despair for the
sane and sound note OF warning
which he utters and which will take
ieep root in tho minds OF the people.
