REFUSED TO ALLOW
HIM TO USE GAS
Danville Maiden Is Sent To
State Hospital; News Of
Court House

Marion and Jane Hathaway OF Clin-
ton township have been cited to ap-
pear in court Monday morning for
contempt.
Several days ago, Charles F. Miller,
VINO lives on the other side of the
road from the Hathaways, brought an
action seeking to have them restrain
ed from cutting the gas line leading
to his house.
Miller averred that he had entered
into an agreement with the Hatha-
ways that they were to use a gas line
jointly, the three of them to pay the
costs of the upkeep.
He alleged that the Hathaways
have recently and without his CON
sent, cut the line leading to his house
and deprived him of fuel. He claim
ed to hNye no remedy other than a
legal action. He asked that the right
to use the line be restored to him
and an injunction be issued, restrain
ing the Hathaways from further in
reference.
Judge Blair issued temporary in
junction. The papers were given to
Sheriff Mossholder to serve and re-
turn made, showing that these had
been placed personally in the hands
of the Hathaways on Jan. 10 at 10:30
o'clock in the morning.
On Friday, Miller appeared at the
court house and stated that he had
secured the services of a plumber for
the purpose of repairing the line and
had been interfered with again. He
made affidavit setting forth these
! facts.
Judge Blair, accordingly, cited the
Hathaways for alleged contempt. The
why's and wherefores of the trouble
will be heard Monday morning.

is THIS WHERE DEMOCRACY FAILS?

- oES the Congress Of the United States at this crisis deserve
the confidence Of the people Of the United States?
The nation, as a nation, is confronted by a foreign power
which denies its rights and murders is citizens.
The nation, as a nation, is menaced by an outside force deter
nined upon a course Of ruthless barbarty which must inevitably leave
. trail Of American dead.
The nation, as a nation, is challenged to protect is citizens and
cave it's honor.
How are the representatives Of the people Of the United States,
IN Congress assembled, meeting that challenge?
Are they meeting it with prompt subordination Of all other in
terests to the national interest?
Are they meeting it with earnest endeavOr TO forget all differ
ences for the sake Of national unity?
Are they meeting it by merging oil lesser aims in one great
national purpose?
On the contrary. they are treating the situation as they might
treat a bill to raise the First Assistant Postmaster Generals salary
OF a proposal to build Government hotels along the Panama Canal
They are manoeuvrng around it, p~rOdding it, squirting for party
angles on it. planning to handle it with tactical turns and twists for
partisan advantage.
To force an extra session OF Congress, on the chance Of a possible
Republican majority in the House, seems to certain Republican Con-
Cressmen much more important than prompt defense Of national
rights. If lining up with pacfists looks like good politics, why not?
At such a moment the spectacle of Congress cheapening national
honor and inviting foreign governments TO sneer at our national unity
il one to try American patience and American faith.
II this is the best that representative government in the greatest
democracy in the world can do when it comes TO meeting foreign
insult and aggression, then representative government, as this coun-
try knows il, is a peril.

ONCE LUXURY, NOW NECESSITY.

THE prevailing impression that there have been few moro peace
full and profitable pursuits for the last hundred years than
the turning Of brown sugar into white is confirmed by an
attractive little book called "a Century Of Sugar Refining in the
United States" issued by the American Sugar Refining Company to
oelebrate the payment of its one hundredth dividend.
In 1916, we are told, the total amount Of sugar refined in New
York City in a year was somewhere about nine million pounds. To-
day the largest refinery of this one company can refine that amount
in forty-eight hours. In 1916 q refiner could get from one hundred
pounds of raw sugar only about fifty pounds Of refined, twenty-five
pounds Of moasss and twenty-five pounds Of socnncd bastard
sugar. To-day, in the course Of from twenty to thirty improved
processes OF refinement, a loss of only six TO seven pounds in every
hundred pounds Of raw sugar is expected.
Yet the people of the United States took TO white sugar slowly.
Even as late as 1888 Secretary of the Treasury McClane reported
concerning the "Fabrcaion and Refinement of Sugar:
at is thought that the consumption OF loaf DR. refined
sugar will not, in the West, keep pace with the progress of pop
ulauon because of the cheapness OF coffee, which. 10 a con
siderable extent, is taking the place Of tea a we'll as OF ardent
spirits; and In coffee brown sugar is generally preferred, Sill.
much refined sugar Is used to qualify whiskey. which I'M
happily continues 10 be extensively used In the West by
certain classes OF persons"
Whuskey and white sugar won hands down. The former il
having its troubles now. But tho latter has no enemies and flourishe
beyond belief. All the sugar imported in 1916 would not run Tho
refineres of the United States to-day for ~fortyeight hours. II It b.
true that persons cut off from alcoholic drinks turn, with extra appo
te, to sweets, the outlook for the sugar rehner Of This land is jus
now fairly dazzling.
