Despite the fact tha t the weather was threatening last Sab­ bath night a large crowd washout to hear Dr. J , E. Moore, of Columbus, representative of the Ohio Anti-Saloon league. I t was a union meeting of all the congregations. Rev. O. H.. Milligan presided, the scripture was read by Dr. H. C. Mid­ dleton and a very earnest prayer offered by ReV. A. B. Henry in support of temperance work. After the address by Dr. Moore prayer was offered by Rev. W. J. Sanderson and ,,the benediction by Prof..W. R. MeChesney. . . Dr.'Moore delivered a plain practical address of which must result much go^d. He illustrated tha t different passages in the. Bible c^uld be used to prove most anything whether good or bad.’ ' He stated that when the Brannoclc law was before the House Committee the liquor men quoted passages of scripture to show wherein their business was justified. '[There is no reason tha t the liquor traffic should exist when it is in the power of the people to pu t it out. The two sides are as it were a t war, the one to see who can best the’ other. We hear of a victory here and a defeat there, and so it goes, but in the end the temperance people are still just a little farther in the lead. Dr. Moore stated that the people have every reason to be greatful over the present situation concerning local option law s and their enforcement. He stated tha t the United ’ ' <a States Supreme court had said tha t no man can selHiquor if the people did not want it. In reference to the townships in the state the speaker gave a number of figures which proved tha t Ohio was taking a step in the right direction for today there are" over 1100 dry townships. Next came a de­ mand, for a law for cities and villages and with all the influ­ ence possible such a law was forced and was known as the Beal law. Much has been said particularly by politicians tha t the church has been taken into politics. The explanation was that the saloon men were the first to take the battle .to the political arena and there is where they are expecting to bluff the church element. • The liquor question was one tha t had to be met regardless of where the contest was to come off and it has been met and with considerable success to sup­ porters of moral government. At this point Dr. Moore read from a letter of Joe Miller, from the saloon, league to the saloon keepers asking tha t they support F. C ..Arbenz, who is now a candidate for Senator in this district, “because of his friendship for our cause.” I t will be remermbered by readers of the Herald tha t this same letter was published in our issue of July 7, 1905 and for the benefit of those who do not recall it we republish it in this issue. Dr. Moore continued tha t it mattered not where you were you could scarcely get into conversation but what the temperance question would come up. I t is one of the most discussed issues of the day. Scarcely a newspaper but has something to say for or against the cause. Here reference was made to the local papers where he learned the situation and afterwards took occassion to praise the Herald for our fearless stand against the monstrous evil and those who hindered i t being put to flight. We hear i t said tha t the ’ocal option laws are not enforced. To this I say they are enforced as much as any of the crim­ inal laws in Ohio. We read every day of theft, murder, and crime of every discription in direct violation of the laa/vs. It- was stated tha t the’liquor men could hedge behind the clubs and tha t the courts could not do anything but all this we know better, for example the cases in your own village the past week. The liquor, people still fighting for their cause were only forced to hedge again in the political arena, the legislature. Tire people were still demanding more rigid laws and a new bill was drawn up and presented to Governor Herrick by Bishop Bashford of the M. E. church, P. A. Baker and 'W. B. Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon league, for his (the Governor's) approval. At tha t time Governor Herrick promised these men that he would do nothing to hinder, the law nor would he use his veto. The bill went to the House and was passed by a vote of 72 to 33 and the church of God had won another victory. The bill was next offered in the Senate and was passed by”a vote of 27 to 6 and the church of God had won still another battle. 1 The liquor people then entrenched themselves again behind the Governor, the very man tha t had pledged his siipport to the cause. This time he calls in the members of the legisla­ ture and tells them that unless they make some changes in fair play to the saloon he will veto the bill. The Governor stated then what changes he wanted and after considerable time the Brannock bill was passed after the Governor had betrayed the confidence of these esteemed men and so weak­ ened the bill tha t it only serves half the purpose intended. I t is not what is gained today tha t counts most in'this fight but that of the morrow. I t is not for the manhood of today bu t for the manhood of the morrow. Dr. Moore was quite successful in getting quite a good deal of financial support and the subscription to the American Issue in this section has been increased over one- hundred. This is the official organ of the Ohio Anti-Saloon league, and Should be found in every home. yterald.

' You are doubtless aware of the fact th a t during the la st session of the Ohio Legislature the Anti Saloon League made very great efforts to secure th e passage of several Temper­ ance measurers which would liave greatly injured our business—the liquor traffic in general. After they failed in this way th e y made stren­ uous efforts to prevent the repeal of the Fa ir Ground Law and the amending of the Adair Law. We defeated them a t every point, but our success was only obtained after the most dilligentand difficult labor. In every battle we had as a most able and reliable friend, Hons F. C, Arbenz. As you knowy—this gentleman is now a candidate for re-election to the legislature; and it is the DUTY of everyone-interested in the liquor traffic to stand by him, VOTE for him and secure for him asj many votes as possible. The Anti-Saloon League is making every effort to-re^ gain the ground lost during the sess­ ion of the last Ohio legislature,.and- they are making an especially hard light against this particu lar candi­ date BECAUSE OF H IS FR IEND ­ SH IP FOB OUR CAUSE! In our effort to protect ourselves and our interest against destruction we should forget politics and vote for those whom wo KNOW TO RE OUR FR IENDS! Here is one who has proven himself our -friend—lie de­ serves our support. In your efforts for his success and your own, do your work in a quiet way, so-as to avoid arousing fu rthe r opposition, bu t do everything you can to help the cause a t this time.

When William Cheney was a boy living on the Jam es Marshall farm nea r Xenia; he found a hard shell turtle, and ns m any others have done, took a little tiiffe' and cut Ills name and date on the shell. Noth­ ing was heard of the turtle until la st .JviLjllh.diij. lliiij. l"V- iiut'lv rt. such a turtle in Mr, John K , Brad- fu te’s meadow, where he was a t work. Having no Idea of course th a t i t was tlie same he had marked in his boyhood days lie picked it up for investigation when lie was aston­ ished to find th a t he evidently had the same one,.for it had his name and date, UW. Cheney. 1892.” He took i t to Mr. Bradfufce’s house and told him of his remarkable find. The turtle was on exhibition a t the Herald office for seveial days and was seen by many* persons. No doubt all have read of ju st such cases hu t doubted the story. The turtle is of ordinary Bize and Mr. Cheney should cu t the date on the shell again as to when he found it and give It its liberty. The remark­ able thing is in it being found by the same person and more than six miles from where h e first found it. BIG LAND SALE. Mr. R. F. Kerr, adminstrator. of tire T. W.

Anderson, Got- wald Bldg., Springfield, O. . The three cases in which Theodore Voglesberg was convicted for viol­ ating the Beal law have been settled by the payment of the fines assessed by Mayor McFarland, The first case Mr. Voglesberg was fined $50 and. coats; second, $75 " and cost; third, $100 and cost, making a total of $225 and the costs. Mr. Voglesberg concluded th a t ho would quit the business of operating d “ club" and went to the members of the local AntLSaloon league com­ mittee for mercy. He surrendered his government license to the com­ mittee and bu rn t the lists of mem­ bers that belonged to the “ club” , He refused however to make known the names of tlie members. Since his cases have been in court it is stated th a t a number of the members of tlie ‘•’club” have been sleeping with difficulty for fear their names would he drawn into tiie cases. I t is stated th a t the committee had as many as fifteen cases against Mr.. Voglesberg, bu t now that he. has been convicted on three cases and surrendered his government license there will he no more prosecutions.. I t was not the desire of the commit­ tee to get Mr. Voglesberg’s money bu t to get him to discontinue tho sale of liquor in violation oL the law. Mr. Voglesberg is to he given credit for one thing and th a t was he sold’u better quality of liquor for the same price than did the drugstore-saloon- ist, who now lias two cases in the Supreme court, and who .through his political friends let out the ‘hollow” on the “ club." The competition was to close for the druggist, and Ills business was nearly ruined. One of his political associates happened to live near the “■chib” and it was he that went to tne committee and wanted “Theo.” landed because he did not want a saloon near his house, ll’hei-e is little reason to believe that the com­ m ittee acted on this mans request for lie was their principle opponent when the witnesses for the druggist assaulted the s ta te ’s witness during the trial tttr Jamestown some months ago. He liked the saloon so much then 'tha t lie even drove to Jam es­ town where lie went on tlie bond of one of the men th a t was arrested for assault. There was another instance similar when tlie case~was taken to Xenia. ■ ■ The above only shows with what principle some men act, A man that can sit in the drugstore-saloon with drunkards knee deep and see the damnalile stuff passed out in Violation of the law and under an administration he boldly and openly boasts of owing, has little reason’ to complain of a saloon near Ills house. .The annual reunion of the 74tli O. V, I. was held in Xenia, Tuesday. E igh t of the members have passed away since tlie last reunion. LOWFARES WESTAND SOUTHWEST.

E. Moore, representative of the Ohio Anti-Saloon -league, in an ad ­ dress a t the U. P. church, I t must no t he over looked th a t “Andy” has a position under Qox- Herrick administration as overseer of the broom pushers, cuspidor cleaners, dusters, etc,, or better known In polite terms as sergeant-at- arms, in tlie House.' This of course beliooveB him to defend the State administration to hold his job as did the Rev. Starr, Chaplin of the Ohio penitenitary, a t the meeting of the Cincinnati conference. “Andy’.’ has been terribly p a t e n t because the representative of the. anti-saloon, league used a. church to hold his meeting, termining it the opening of the campaign in a church. “Andy” always has the greatest re­ gard for a church and the Sabbath, especially the Sabbath he and mother earth had such .a tussle out onsouth Mainstreet. Then “Andy” likes the . Anti-Saloon, league so much. He always treated tlieir representatives when about the House in such a “ friendly” way. I t must not he over looked th a t this most powerful 7 organization came near defeating him for liis place in the organization of the last House owing to his “conduct”'toward their officials. For this reason voters in this section have some reason to be careful of what “Andy” has to say A t the meeting Sabbath night, an account of which is given elswhere in this issue, reference was made to Cs - • * the candidate for senator in this d istrict as to his stand on liquor issues while a member of the House, “ Andy” Is now quoted by a repre­ sentative citizen as saying th a t lie could have stopped the whole thing, referring to Dr. Moore, if he had been allowed to ask a. few questions. I t would have been ashame to have such a thing happen. Dr. Moore would have made the Cox-Herrick benchman, look like the proverbial th irty cents. “Andy” says th a t lie knows ju st what took place when the liquor measures were up and endeavors to leave the impression th a t the Dr. is gulling the people. The, situation then resolves itself into the question as to who to believe between the two men. We know of no charge ever being placed against the reverend gentlemen and of course his word iftusfc he accepted, W ith. “Andy” , well its a shame to mention it but there is th a t primary he elected him­ self a t last spring after which more than 120 of the voters made oath ithat «*. y they never cast their vote for him. “Andy” won’t fool many in his campaign “who are you going to support for governor and senator?’’ for his talk only convinces most men th a t lie is where he belongs,' “ out in the wet.” “Andy views things through the glass, with the smoke rubbed off, and of course knows more about the Columbus situation, than Dr. Moore or any other person.
