It is on eo l the most elaborate and care­ fully prepared opinions. The Supreme Goiirt of Ohio has already by a unanimous vote settled forever the constitutionality of the form and'principles of tire Beal I,iv.*, . __ . ' t. __ r ' * • . This 1 iw is farther reaching in its scope, I believe, than its friends and oppon­ ents have /fully realised, "Where the o,ld law authorized the passage of an ordiri- . 1 itnev' prohibiting the-keepirig of a place -where intoxicating liquors Were gold, the r net; law not only prohibits such keeping of a place but also prohibits the sale, fur­ nishing or givitlg away, of intoxicating liquors. These words practically, include every wurdrol the English language applicable to the traffic. Convictions for soll- . jug, furnishing and giving away are rnuch.more easily obtained than for keeping a place, and vet are punished Avith the same heavy penalties, A single sale may be punished for the first offense with a fine of two hundred dollars for subsequent of- lenses the.second with a fine of five hundred dollars and for subsequent offenses with fine and imprisonment. Very few, fines will bankrupt any violator, ' The mdst striking feature of the law. is the means provided for its enforcement, . Offenders can be arrested and tried before the mayor or they may be indicted by the Grand Jury and tried in the Court of Common Pleas. What is known .as the ‘'Cain Law,” passed by the legislature this lastwmter.wjll be a most powerful agent ba­ the enforcement <?Ythe Beal law. Due consideration and importance have not Teen given In this connection to the Cain law,' which; when considered in, conjunc- hm with the Beal law, is the most drastic temperance legislation ever enacted in Ohio. -il'provides that the Food and Dairy department of the. State shall appoint Inspectors or detectives whose special duty it shall 'be to ferret out speak-easies, Illicit drug stores and other places,.which have not paid the Dow tax of three hun- di ed nnfl fifty dollars. The possession of the tax certificate of the United States is made prirnn facie evidence of the party being engaged in the, traffic in intoxicating liquors. A large sum of money for the next two- years' was appropriated by' the last legislature for the salaries and' expenses of the work. A recent decision of the Supreme Court makes speak-easies in local option towns liaable to the Dow tax’ The man who starts .a speak-easy in Cedarville- will procure his license from the United States Government, because no Cedarville speak-easy Keeper dare defy. Uncle Sam, The state is “atmnce-'on lfis track for the Dow tax. The- village authorities will move with the state. That fact alone will utmost casses run down the speak-easy. In addition arc all the other methods of obtaining evidence and convictions. ' . . -Under such circumstances then with the Federal Government; the state, county * .*„■ \ ' v* •and the village after the speak-casy and the whiskey peddler .the man doqs not live who can for any length of.time successfully defy the Beal law. , Respectfully, W. B, W heet , er . The, Wine and Bpirit Circular, a saloon paper says: "The average sa­ loon ought not to be defended by our trade. I t ought to be condemned. In small towns the average saloon is a nuisance, It is a resort for all tough characters. It is usually run by a sport who cares only for the dollar. It is a Stench in the nostrils ot society and a disgrace to the wine and spirit trade;' .The logic is plain to our voters. If the saloonists. themselves condemn the saloon.in' small towns, good citi­ zens have higher .‘reasons for voting it.out of Cedarville on October -4tli. Let us* do at lensfc what saloonists even shame us to do. PROBATE court settlements .

The literary societies of the college have selected representatives who will act as a committee tp get up n lecture course Tor'this winter,.

The various com­ mittees in this organization have be'* gUn their work and everything will in readiness for a rousing time all nfcxt week. The finance committee report, that they are meeting with great success, which shows that the public is becoming Interested. The committed on speakers liava some ex­ cellent talent for the commg week. A brass band will be broughtjliere on one or two nights. Make no/arrange* meuts for next week for tli/re will b “something doing" each night: A GOOD PROPOSITION. The great showman, P. T. Barnurn, once made the following proposition to the Quaker city. He was in real earnest, tool “I will undertake to give bond tor the fulfillment of a con­ tract that if the city of Philadelphia Will slop selling liquor, mid give me as much as was expended tor liquor last year to run the city next year. I will pay all the city expenses, no one shall pay taxes, and there shall bo no insurance on property, and a good suit of clothes shall -be given to every poor man, woman fend child and a barrel of flour to every needy and worthy person, and then I shall make half a million dollars by the opera­ tion.” ttL: MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION ‘■Whereas, the statutes of tho slate pt Ohio nrovhlfs that whoever sails or GIVl'-H AWAY any spirituous, Vinous, or malt liquors, <u any election hay, or he:mg. the keeper of a place where any such liquor*arc habitually sold nnd drunk, fails, on any election Jay, to keep the same dosed, snail bo fined not more tnan one hundred dol­ lars,nnd imprisoned not mors than ten days; nnd, Where**, ' • * Saturday, the 4fl» Bay of October, A.

SUMf PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT VS SALOON kEEPEBS. President Roosevelt has fully measured tlu fiiluon buai whs , and has ant'b'osUated fo-titter his condemna­ tion of it-. At the time he was Presi­ dent of Police Board of, New York City ho wrote these words to Me- (Jlure’a magazine: ‘‘The liquor bush ness is certainly not a business whic’J, stands weft in comparison with other occupations It tends to produce criminality in the population at large, and liny-breaking among the saloon keepers themselves. Iu every civil­ ized community saloon keepers are hampered by more or less rigid re­ strictions.' Tliey do lmem enough as it is; but without these restrictions' they would do indefinitely more. When the liquor men are allowed to do as they wish, they are sure to de­ bauch not only the body social, but the body political also.” Leavenworth for some years ■an­ nulled the prohibition laws of Kansas by levying fines at regular intorva's oh the saloonists, and allowed them to continue in business ns long as they paid the fines. *The, result financially ivas. disastrous to the public funds. William Allen White the author of “ What’s the Matter with Kansas,” etc., gives his opinion‘concerning this transaction in particular, and of the value of saloons to a community-in general in the following words: There is so,little money in Leaven­ worth where they maintain saloons as a business proposition,that it has been decided to postpone the opening of the public schools indefinitely, There is a great deal of talk about what a good thing for si town a saloon is financially. But it generally happens- that a saloon town is a poverty-strick­ en, God-forsaken, ramshackle, hole- in-the-gronnd which good men avoid and business shuns. ... .Generally speaking, whiskey is not a good investment for a man. It sends-him to hell sooner or later. And what whiskey does’for a man if does for'any partnership or iirm or corpor­ ation of men "or** any municipality. Whiskey is not only a fool, but is a treacherous., skulking deceitful wolf,., and whoso-is deceived thereby is not wise. Leavenworth has staked everything on whiskey. She lias lost. I t costs so much to, keep the criminals that whiskey makes, and the paupers that whiskey niakes. that the children who need schools to keep them • from being criminals and paupers get-no th­ ing hut the worst of it. As a gener­ al proposition whiskey is a bad pnrt- iier*—Kmporia Gazette. Tire state auditor’s reportuhowB up- wnrdjOf 11000 saloons paying the IMTtnx in this stale at the present ,imc. And with the enforcement of tho “Gain Law” the number is to be swelled to about 13000. Tho differ­ ence represents drugstores and “speak- easie?” that will bo-forced to pay the tax, Ohio has fewer saloons today than ever before simply from the fact that tho Beal law’is giving people an opportunity to vote out these places.
