MAIL-ORDER
Habit Raped By Rev. Long
In Sermon
Shots Fired At Out-Of-TOWn
Buyers

An interested gathering nSJeneu 10
some timely and pointed remarks in
the address, "The Temptation of Dis
tance, or Why Boost Mt. Vernon?",
delivered last night at the Y. M. G. A.
auditorium by the Rev. j. A. Long,
pastor of the Vine street Church of
Christ, before his congregation. The
theme was community relationship,
and was inspired by the commercial
activities that attended the recent or
ganization of chamber Of commerce
here. Several well-directed shafts,
aimed at citizens of Mt. Vernon whose
idea of civic patriotism is to buy ne
cessities from out-of-town mail order
houses, impressed his audience with
the obligations that citizen owes his
community.
He spoke from the text, wisdom is
before him who has understanding,
but the eyes of the fool are in the end
of the earth"
"The tendency is to minimize
things that are at hand-things that
are in the community" he said in
part, "and give away things that are
afar off. You know the fellow who
complains, It's the deadest town on
earth. Look at so-andso town. A few
wears ago it was practically nothing
now it is q live, bustling, business
center. They're boosters Yes, but Is
that fellow boosting his own com
munity? Is he promoting its welfare
or contributing any thing to its ad-
yancement? You get catalogue
with attractive illustrations and allur-
ing prices from some out-of-toWn mall
order house and away goes your mon
ey to the support of some other city.
"You know, distance lends enchant-
ment to the view If you and l are
going to buy out of town, what Is 60
ing to become of the town? l am In
formed that there are citizens in this
community, with dependent interests
here, who send to mail order houses
out of town for beans and coffee and
similar things. Why, we can't even
be a bean town if we send out of
town for our beans. l believe that,
dollar for dollar, you will receive as
much for your money if you will buy
in Mt. Vernon as if you buy anywhere
else.
IF you buy here and are dissatis-
fed, you have the privilege of per-
sonally registering kick for as long
as you please, but if you buy out OF
town, you have to grin and bear it.
Personally, as stated before a re-
cent public gathering in this city, II l
become sour on the community l am
going to move before 1 am removed.
l believe that Mt. Vernon is one OF
the most beautiful towns in Ohio;
that it has as good people as there
are in Ohio, and that it has as many,
IL not more, advantages than any 9TH
or community. If Mt. Vernon does
not take on life who is to blame?
"a city is measured by its citizen
ship. You make the city, the city
makes you. You could not live here
If it didn't stay; it couldn't stay II
you didn't live here. We must all
live or perish together. So let US
recognize the fact that we have GER
tain obligations right here at home.
If a man loves not his own brother,
whom he hath seen, how can he love
a mail order house whom he hath not
seen?"

And Now He's Attacking Pres
ident Wilson

Columbus, o., March 20--Having
failed to make headway in his de-
fense OF his record as governor, Frank
B. Willis has started on new pro-
gram to gain nomination and election.
In his new line is seen the purpose
that lay behind his forcing of the pas
sage of the so-called Hulswitt law,
joining state and national elections.
Realization having been forced upon
him that he cannot again fool the peo-
pie ON state issues he is beginning a
campaign of criticism and vitupera-
ton of President Wilson. Among 9TH
er things he has become chief of the
calamity howlers of the state, decry-
ing the prosperity that is in evidence
on every hand. More recently, In a
political speech at Jackson, he es-
sayed a general criticism of the en-
tire administration of President VIII
son, making bid for the votes of
those who have attempted to embar-
rass the president in his efforts to
keep the United States prosperous
and at peace when nearly all the 9th
er countries of the world are bank
rupt and at war. In this effort the
good young governor shows himself
a part of the reactionary alignment Of
which ex-senator Burton and Harry
Daugherty are part, and his effort
is in keeping with the vote of Ohio
Republican congressman to tie the
hands of President Wilson In dealing
with dangerous foreign questions,
which, it is charged by them in de-
fense of their act, was done at the
request of Candidate Burton. All of
these men will probably learn before
many months the error of their ways
when given emphatic evidence that
ALL the people of this country, what
ever their nativity, ARE AMERI-
CANS FIRST and then partisans.
Governor Willis cannot successfully
defend his own record, but the people
will make short shrift of him in as
sault on President Wilson.

Seven years after the Democratic
senate investigating committee caught
the members of the state treasury
ring of thieves, 1t is announced that
former State Treasurer Isaac B. Cam
eron will be tried for embezzlement
on March "a next. His attorneys, in
cluding Harry M. Daugherty, who was
director of Cameron's bank, have
been able to delay the proceedings by
motions, demurrers, stays of proceed
ings and other legal devices. Some
of the main witnesses are dead and
some have left the state. Some of
the Cameron and McKinnon bonds
men have settled, others have not,
and still others have gone broke. It's
fine to have a pull after robbing the
state of hundreds of thousands of dol.

CHAPTER x Table Stakes

There were dozen business blocks under construction in Mirapolis, with a proportional number of dwellings and suburban villas at various stages in the race toward completion, when it began to dawn upon the collective consciousness of a daily increasing citizenry that something was missing. Garner, the real estate plunger from Kansas City, first gave the missing quantity it's name. The distant thun- der of the blasts heralding the ap- proaeh of the railroad had ceased be- tween two days.
 Up to the period of the silenced dy-
 namite thunderings new industries were projected daily, and investors, tolled in over the high mountain trails
 or across the Buckskin in dust-en-
 crusted automobiles by methods best
 known to gray-mustached adept in
 the art of promotion, thronged the lobby of the Hotel Metropole and
 bought and sold Mirapolis Corners
 or "insides" on steadily-ascending
 scale of prices.
 A strange mania for holding on, for permanency, seemed to have become epidemic. Many of the working men
 were securing homes on the install
 ment plan. A good few of the villas

ONCE REPUBLICAN
 NOW A DEMOCRAT
POLITICAL RECORD OF JUDGE L. c. SMITH REVEALED IN HIS LETTER WRITTEN TO Ii. L. REM. MEL IN 1900.

Judge L. c. Smith burned his wrote the following letter to H. L.. Remmel, then candidate for governor against Jeff Davis, and first lord in waiting to Powell Clayton, Republican boss of Arkansas. He offered to sell his political prospects for even less than mess of pot Ticker.
 Arkansas does not approve of man who slips in and out of one party un- til he wears the hole slick. Democracy will pass upon Judge Smiths de1ec- tion In the primary March 29.
 Here is Judge Smiths letter:
 De Witt, Ark, Aug. 24, 1900. "Hon. H. L. Remmel
 Little Rock, Ark.
 Dear Sir: I understand that Jeff Davis has offered reward of $25 if crat that expects to vote for you oa the 3rd day of September next for governor Take him up, and read this letter from your first stump If it be true). The undersigned is lifelong Democrat, and expects to cast his vote for Fl. L. Remmel on the 3rd 6ay of September next, and if he pays the reward do a Christian aet-give 1t to the churches at your first disposal I will not enter into details why 1 am opposed to Jeffie, but this will give him another opportunity to jump onto another Democrat in order to be elect ed governor.
 Yours for success,
 "L c. Smith," If Judge Smith should be nominated on March 29 would he hand the choic- est state appointments to the crowd he jumped to in 1900? If nominated by the Democratic party, which he publicly deserted in 1900 would he ex- pect the party to support him in the general election? Can he consistently abandon the party in 1900 and then ask it to make him governor in 1916? Refusal to support the nominee has always been the most unpardonahle of political sins. Judge Smith must first absolve himself from such sln before he can expect reward at the hands of the Democratic party. Try running on the Republican ticket against a Democratic nominee, Judge Smith, that is where you belong.
