"Whiskey is responsible for the
crime of Friday night" said Rev.
Harry c. Hartman, at the First Metho-
dist church yesterday evening. The
citizens of our fine old city should
think long and hard, as to whether or
not we can longer stand for the legal
ICED saloon and the product of it's
business"
Speaking from a text in Proverbs,
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a
trouble maker, and they who are de-
,ceived by these are not WISE" DR..
.Harman declared against the saloon
to an audience which filled the church
auditorium.
The occurrence has placed blot
on the reputation of the city he de-
clared.
This is not the first tragedy of Its
kind. and il viii not be the last unless
the citizens eliminate the influences

and human happiness. We are not
willing to take chances with such

We were awakened early aSturday

the streets, 1.-THE double murder"
Two brave policemen are dead.
What are these men worth to their
families? What are they worth to
the community? When they were
alive we did not know their real
worth. Those who knew them said
they were brave. They have proven
their bravery and their worth. For
the time being they had no self in
terest, only one thought impeIIed
them, duty. They were worth more
to their families and to the commune
ty than all the booze that was ever
sold In Richmond. Somebody made
the booze and somebody sold il and
big majority Of voters Of this city vir-
tuaIly endorsed the license Of the man
who sold it on the twenty-fourth day
Of March, 1914.
LIVES ARE OFFERING.
II a blind tiger had sold the liquor
that fired the brain of the murderer
then the blind tiger would have been
responsible for the awful deed.
The lives of these noble men is on

on the altar Of John earIeyoorn every

The rum business knows no law,
no Sabbath and no God; Is blight
on civilization of this age and ought
In the name Of Christian religion be
blotted from the face Of the earth.

with those of other great men, Rev.
L. e. Murray proved ''The 1ncompara'

The resemblance between Socrates.

makes Jesus Incompatible"

How long shall the liquor traffic,
the child Of Hell, be allowed to cause
such tragedies as occurred last Friday
night In our city," said Rev. Milo s.
Hinckle, at the East Main street
Friends church yesterday morning.

RUSSIANS CHECK TEUTONS'
PLANS IN SOUTHERN RANGES
OF CARPATHIANS; TAKE ARMS

LONDON, Oct 26.--The cutting of the
connection between the Russians I'm the
Bukowina and the Rumanans further
south seems to have been prevented. South
Of Dorna Watra, In the Carpathlans, at the
border OF Rumania and the Bukowina, the
Russians yesterday drove the Teutons from
a series of heights, capturing prisoners and
machine guns
Last week the Austrians under the Arch
duke Charles Francis made stubborn at
tacks in that region, where the Russians
and Rumanians join forces. with the evil
dent object of cutting the connection and
rolling up the flanks Of both armies. Snow
stopped the attacks and now the Russians
have offset them.
A German statement today says a Rus
sian gas attack on the Shara River and
another attack near Kolostrov, northwest of
Lhtsk. were beaten back. Russian attacks
near Dorna Watra were repulsed the state
ment says.
Russias drive at Lemberg has been stop
ped by the German victory on the western
bank of the Narayuvka and the driving
back of the Russians to the eastern bank,
says the military expert OF the Overseas
from Berlin. The Russians have lost the
dominating heights on the western bank
In a bend OF the river north of Halicz.
The Russians lost 5000 men In the seven
days battle, as well as much material. The
Third Finnish Division was almost an
initiated, and the Forty-frst Russian
Division routed. Prussians and Branden-
burgers won the battle.
