Indianapolis Star Whacks
CameI's Jockey for His Open
Distrust of American Citizens
If State Goes Dry" He
Believes There Shall Be No
Reconsideration

Concerning ]. Frank Hanly's franl
distrust Of the American people, tn,
Indianapolis Star makes this editoria
comment:
1t Is entirely in keeping with Mr.. J
Frank Hanlys views that he should
repud!ate the declaration in the ma
t!onal Prohibition platform in support
OF the initiative, referendum and re
call. His idea presumably is that
when prohibition is once made a law
Of any state there shall be no recall
no matter what the popular feeling on
the subject Once accepted. means.
in his lexicon. that it is permanently
cinched, and there shall be no recon.
sideration.
Other legislation may be subject TO
referendum to the people without
disaster, as experience in Oregon and
Washington has shown, but it is the
intention OF Mr.. Hanly not to permit
such liberties TO be taken with a pro.
hibition law.
His opposition to the principle of
the recall was we'll understood before
the adoption OF the Prohibition plat.
form, but as he did not explain what
is without doubt the chief cause of his
objection 10 it, the platform makers,
who have regarded this plank with
special favor, probably did not take
him seriously and so included it.
Mr.. Hanly hardly needs this empty
honor of the Prohibition nomination
10 the presidency to give him an OK.
cuse TO talk He needs no eycrsa
talking being his profession. but II
will give him publicity in certain
quarters that will profit him when
the campaign is over. Though it can
not approve their judgment, The Star
has the highest respect for citizens
who sincerely believe that prohibition
is the one important issue before the
country, but it has never counted Mr.
j. Frank Hanly as one OF these.

Gently; I'm the Southern States
where prohibition has almost become
universal, the increase in the sale OF
drugs per capita is greater than the
increase in population. The legiti,

consumption is 10000 pounds. Last
year over 100000 pounds were brought
into the United States through the
customs house. This. OF course, does
not include the vast amount that Is
smuggled over the borders. The use
OF opium, cocaine and other such
drugs is, ! regret to say, largely on the

MISS MOLL|E FANCHER
IS CLAIMED BY DEATH
Celebrated Golden Jubilee as an In
valid Only Eight Days Ago. =
Was 81 Years Old.

NEW YORK. February 11.-Miss
Mollie Fancher, who celebrated her
golden jubilee as an invalid eight days
ago, died today at her home in Brook
lyn.
Miss Fancher was known to thou
sands of people all over the world
through the extraordinary correspond
erce she built up during the half
century of her invalidism. Although
bedridden and only able to move her
right arm, she worked INCREASINGLY
ut knitting and embroidery and is said
to have used up 100000 pounds of
worsted.
Fifty Years in Sick Room.
In 1866. when Miss Fancher was sew
enteen years old and noted for her
beauty, she was thrown from her horse
and terribly injured. A year later she
was the victim of a street-car accident
which deprived her of the use of all
her limbs except her right arm.
For nine years she remained in a
trancelike condition, during which
period her friends insisted she was
ciairvoyant. 1t was in these years that
she built UP her correspondence, die
tating total of $500 letters. During
the fifty years of her Imprisonment in
sick room Miss Fancher's chief nour-
1shment was the juice of fruits.
