TWENTY-SIXTH,YEAR. NO. 10. CEDARVILLE. OHIO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1905. PRICE $100 A YEAR. POLITiW km POLITICALNEWS, While a largo number of citizens , ureanxioua to.have a citizen’s, ticket put out this spring, backed by tb Committee of Qne Hundred, it is p< probable that such stops will be take) , But a step in another direction is t< ■' be taken if reports current can be r* lied upon, Knowing that the Be publicans have by far the largest vot* in the corporation, it is po « purposed that an entire Republican ticket h* ‘ 'put out for primary. The object wil be to have this ticket endorsed by tlu Committee of One Hundred, the ticket to be made up o f electors thai will enforce the laws. T'. re is birr utie thing for the people of this /cor poratiou to do and that is to come, to the front ns was done in the local - op­ tion campuign and declare that men will be nominated for the respective offices that will enforce the law. To st rt .with there viilk be opposition to thismovement and it will be from none other than the ‘ ‘gang politicians” who will.fighb to gain control of affairs solely for spoils. 1The new coda will cause the election of every municipal officer and uOw is the time for the tax payers off this corporation to come to the front and- exert every effort to place representative business men in Office. •- The Herald desires to suggest ‘that a Republican ticket placed before the .coming primary can-easily be a win­ ner if the same efforts, are put forth, as during the local option fight. • To most citizens there will pever be the opportunity in a life titoe as this- spring to gain control o f affairs with a sjngle grasp.* Cedarville has'bad a taste, of “ gang” rule-and have about come ' to the conclusion that they must break away from this political slavery; ' To' know bow the primaries -are conducted the young "man of to­ day know! .nothing of the merit ays* tern. 'They see and bear that men purchase offices' and are ' not ’elected % the .people. Under the system that we have been governed, it is al­ most Impossible-to induca men o f abil­ ity. afid character to become candi­ dates for office, , Men .elected to of­ ficers they have been do not strive to gain promotion by fearless,,discharge Of duty, but bold the office as proof 1o f having rendered service o f orders from the seat o f authority,the “ gang” politician*under the name of a politi­ cal party-as a cldak for work that ,leads to extravageu.ee, dishonesty and corruption, Municipal government should not be. a question o f factional polities, it ’is a matter of business, honest and economical for the benefit o f all the people and not for the prof­ it <4 the “ boodle” politician. . The Herald, contends that for the good o f the village government, all factional politics and party leaders should be excluded in such an election. By the election of good men. to our of­ fices, they will be responsible to the people alone for their official act?. It is to the interests o f every loyal citi­ zen that we have' good streets, fire and police departments,and above all, schools that are free from the taint of the political scandal. I t is absolutely essential that men Who have some knowledge o f finan­ cial questions, be elected to the offices o f council,for it is said the majority o f present memoers have no desire to be returned, The incoming members o f ooiincil are going to., meet a “knotty proposition and i f the tax payers are aware of the increase that will be made'on them by the carelessness of their representatives, they will see that the right kind o f men are re­ turned to this responsible position, ’ Every dollar paid out of the ireaaurery must be allowed by council, “ Men that will do their duty” is what should be made a motto. Jamestown people at their last election elected a former professor of their schools for mayor, while physicians, merchants and private citizens serve on their council* Jamestown has a mayor that does his duty, gives heavy fines and sees that order is obeyed through the officers tinder him. The upper tuniiyofaJJfe time is before every voter and if he does not care to take advantage ofit, tax payers will have liitle reason to complain o f the con­ duct o f public affairs in Cedarville. It is our belief that a Republican ticket placed before the primary will prove not only popular but a winner. The Herald will endorse any candi­ date put on the ticket by the Com­ mittee o f One Hundred. J, 0 . McCorkell the present cor­ poration clerk will in *U probability b* a candidate for, f*4l&rtf0fi to the office he now holds. Mr, McCorkell is painstaking about the duties of hia office and the condition of his books proves him, worthy of the office. Mr. McCorkell has held thisoffice through •everal administrations and has alway ■een.bne,bf the few that have been hosen by the people ami not by the olitioiaus. He is in no way affiliated vith the factional fights consequently Ja bands are free. We only wish that 1 officers could take the same stand. HERALft’S WEEKLYPHOTOGRAPH,. , There has been a number of reports; mrrent to the effect that J. W. Pol- uck would .be a candidate for repre- -entative at the coming primary, but u an interview with him we find that ne hasnot decided yet bWwill"do"W i»y Saturday. Some of Mr, Pollock’s trieiida are urging him to come ‘ lor state senator but this is not probable as he never aspired to that position. It is essential that a good.man repre­ sent this county in the state legislature .and the voters would make no mis­ take in sending Mr. Pollock. ' . A SENSIBLE .ARGUMENT. i t ' V - 1 *■ ' When such leading dailies .ns the Cincinnati Enquirer declares that temperance is an Issue in politics that must,be reckoned with, and Henrat’s Chicago American will print .the fol­ lowing, there is a brighter day not far ahead; “ The powerful races do drink. But the powerful individuals do not drink, The conquering armies are armies of drinking men usually—but their leaders are sober, temperate men/ I f you yant to be one .o f' the ordinary crowd, drink spirits ‘moder­ ately,’ as whiskey’s friends >put it/ But remember that there is no such thing aBdrinking whisky ‘moderate­ ly,’ .Immoderate drinking makes you -a brute. ’ Bo-called moderate whisky drinking takes the edge off ydur abil­ ity.

In the fast place it is nect} Bury to cultivate the taste in the- be­ ginning. Why cultivate it at all? In the second place, admitting all/ the usual sophistry about moderate drink­ ing, whisky means the.loss of -.time, loss of money, loss o f dear mental thought.. There is boasting, lying, vac­ illation, procrastination, self-delusion in, every glass o f spirits. How many millions of men—on their dying b ed - have wished reverently and mournful­ ly that they had never tasted spirits! Bid ever'a dying man regret a tem­ perance lifel England drinks more gin—perhaps—than any other two nations. But the gin of England is drunk by England’s •failures. • The successful of England dou’t know the taste of gin. The deeper yon go into Whitechapel the greater number of bottles per capita, Young men should know and daily remember that whisky and all other spirits cheat their bodies and brains, Has whisky no work to do? Yes, it has an important work. It is the policeman, the executioner among human beings. I t wipes out families unfitted to survive. I t short­ ens the harmful career of the spend­ thrift and of the man ’squandering in­ herited money* I t has its place in medicine, along With strychuine, ar­ senic atid Other poisons.

The grain is fearfully defi­ cient hi the necessary quality to pro­ duce fat, and many farmers are be­ coming discouraged seeing their corn piles grow less each day aud no vis- able increase in the weight of their cattle. This depresses the market value o f stock, and the feeder is -cor­ respondingly blue. The future pre­ sents but little hope of better prices, not at least until the soft corn behs; have unloaded. Then perhaps good, well fated cattle will bring siicb value as will give a handsome return.
