DRIES GAINING GROUND

The defeat of the vets to organize
Republican State convention by elect
ing Edward C. Stokes chairman and
passing Of a resolution to not change
the State Probition enforcement law
until Congress was a stunning defeat
for the Republican vets from which
they will never recover.
The defeat of a resolution in the
State Democratic Convention to repeal
the Hobart enforcement law by So to
10 was a stunning defeat for the
radical vets. The resolution favors
modification, but is very indefinite.
On the whole, the doings of both

In the Democratic State Convention
at Trenton, on Tuesday, James R.
Nugent, the great liquor ad' ccate
from Newark, introduced a Its0Iution
to declare for the repeal of the Hobart
prohibition enforcement law. 1t was
defeated, SO against and 19 for.
Nugent is a moss back Democrat who
has outlived the times, as his mind
has never grown with the moral adj
vancement in recent years. Woodrow
Wilson had to unhorse him to make

Jaanum was discovered on a train near Mill waukee with his throat cut.

BAD AUTO WRECK
ON THE PIKE
Early Ensminger and Murl Daugherty
Meet Death At Midnight At Day
ton Farmhouse.

About twelve this night another
terrible wreck occurred on the Pike
just few feet this side of the R. S.
Dayton farm house. Burl Jones,
Early Ensminger, Charles Ensmin-
ger, Murl Daugherty and Dewey
Golden were out joy riding in an au-
tomobile, perhaps speeding, when the
car went to the ditch at the Dayton
house (now Occupied by John Coontz;-
it kept in the ditch until it hit the
culvert crossed to the other side OF
the road then back again and turned
over, almost instantly killing Early
Ensninger and injuring Chas. Ems
minger, Murl Daugherty and Dewey
Golden - Burl Jones, the driver es-
capped without injuries. The Daugh-
erty boy was taken to Philippi by
Waddell's car which happened along
after the wreck, and taken on to
Grafton hospital where he afterward
died. The Golden boy and Ensmin-
ger boy will get we'll. All the crowd
were young men - it is stated that
they had taken their girls home and
were out for spinn on the Pike. Re-
ports come from fairly good author
ity that some moonshine was in the
crowd. From the evidence it would
indicate that the driver was making
too much speed, Of course at this late
hour, the traffic cop was off the Pike
and they could put one over on him,
but not on the "Old Man with the
scythe."
All the wrecks thus far on the
State Highway have been caused by
high speed. If this kind of foolish
ness keeps up, manufacturers will be
compelled to limit the speed of all
motor cars.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY

A reader hands us an essay on
MAN." clippd from an old newspaper
Maybe you've read tiff SO it's worth
reading again. If you haven't read
it, do so and pass it on to neighbor:
"Man comes into this world with
out his consent and leaves it without
his will. In infancy he is an angel;
in boyhood he's devil; in manhood
everything from lizard up. If he
raises family he's chump, and if
he raises check he's theft, and
then the law raises Cain with him.
If he is a poor man he's bad man
ager and has no sense, but if he is
rich he is considered a smart finan-
cier. If he's in politics you can't
place him. If he gots to church hes
q hypocrite and if he stays away he's
sinner. When he first comes into
the world everybody wants to kiss
him; before he goes out everybody
wants to kick him. If he dies younv
there was great future before him;
if he lives to ripe old age he's in
the way and only living to save fun
eral expenses. This life is funny
road-but everybody seems glad Of
the chance to travel it in preference
to taking chances on another one.
