PROHIBITION
To Have Another Trial In
This County.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
A Solemn Duty Incumbent On
All Citizens.
By the verdict of the voters of this
connty, tbe saloons must cease to exist on April 30. As tbat date falls on
Sanday, of course they must close
tbeir doors on tbe 29th and it will devolve upon the people to see tc it
that tbeir will as expressed at the
polls is in good faith carried out. If
tbey tolerate any such state of affairs
as existed here before, we shall be
■very much mistaken. We think
tbese two years have taught everybody a whole lot of things and the
saloons wil! go out to stay out. A
few things however should be kept
eonstantly in mind.
1. Let no one expect too much.
No one claims and no one pretends
to believe that prohibition can absolutely prohibit, whether with reference to liquor selling, murder, arson,
burglary or anything else. If people
will exercise the same common sense
ln one case as in the others, there
need be no trouble. Prohibition is
not a perfect remedy but it is the
best remedy yet discovered.
2. Let no one suppose that the
battle is now over. It has only just
begun. A community poisoned with
whiskey is like an old toper saturated
with it. Voting the saloons out corresponds to tbe toper's signing the
pledge. Each has made a good resolution but tbe battle is in tbe future.
And we can be quite certain that we
shall commence several degrees further down tbe scale than we left off
two years ago. It will take five years
to overcome the debauchery of two
years of the saloons.
3. Law enforcement is incumbent
upon everybody, exactly as mucn so
on tbe wet man as the dry man. We
were informed during the campaign
tbat "prohibition tends to foster
blind pigs." Who is going to foster
them? Dry people do not want them
and will not foster a solitary one.
Do wet people intend to foster them?
What possible rigbt have they to
complain and criticise if they do?
The Dry Federation is a permanent
organization, one of whose objects is
to see to it that all laws are enforced.
Will the "Farmers' and Business
lien's League" aid in this good
work? If not, why not?
4. Let people get another nonsensical idea out of tbeir beads.
Again and again we have heard the
old chestnut, "Men cannot be made
moral by law." Nobody in the world
claims that tbey can. That is not
the function of the iaw, but it can
create conditions tbat make it easier
for men to do right and harder to do
wrong. Robt. G. Ingersoll used to
aay tbat "You may frighten a man
ao tbat be will not steal but you cannot frighten him so tbat be will not
want to steal." It is far better for
society and for tbe man himself tbat
he refrain from stealing though fear
may be the impelling motive.
6. Law enforcing officers must be
elected that are in sympathy with
tbe law. This ie so self-evident tba.
no argument is necessary and this is
one of the recognized objects of the
Dry Federation. No local option
county need expect the law to be
made a success if those whose special
duty it is to enforce the law want saloons and work tooth and nail to get
them and keep them. It is infinitely
more important to any county that it
bave law enforcing ofhcers who respect their oath of office than tbat
■ these officers beiong to this party or
tbat party.
STORE REMODELLED

appearance when complete.

DEAD BODY
Found In Tobacco River On
Friday.
JURY IMPANNELED
And Verdict Awaits Report Of
Chemist.
On Friday last while along the
river on a fishing trip, Robt. Fride-
born discovered a body some 15 or 20
rods below the Hubel bridge, a half
mile west of the city limits. The body
was that of a man some 50 years of
age and had lodged against a small
log and had become partially covered
by sand washed against it. The city
authorities were notified and Undertaker Thurston and two or three
others brought the body to the undertaking rooms here where it was
seen by many, none of whom recognized the man.
On Monday Justice Thurston, acting as coroner, impanneled a jury
consisting of Dan Crouse, T. C Holbrook, Al. Herrick, John Asline, T.
B. Hirt and W. L. Adams, who listened to the testimony of Dr. Burt
Sanford who had made an autopsy,
and then they requested the justice
to have an analysis made of the contents of the stomach and an adjournment was taken awaiting the report
of the chemist.
Dr Sanford testified that death did
not result from drowning and there
was no evidence of bodily injury to
explain the matter. The jurors evidently feel certain that the body was
thrown into the river and that there
is evidence of foul play if only it can
be discovered. The body has been
placed in the vault at the cemetery.

stone is a stone set in the wall of s.
building close \o the walk and was
brought to Boston about 1700 and
originally used as a paint mill by a
painter wbo had a shop here. On
the stone is the date 1737. Christ

one book surviving now of the books
John Harvard gave and this is preserved with care. Harvard is at

One of the moBt ancient and noted
buildings in Boston is the Old State
House or Fanuiel Hall. It was given
to Boston by Peter Fanuiel a Huge-
umot merchant in 1742, and rebuilt
in 1768, becoming in succession a barrack for the British 14tb Regiment,
a forum for patriotic American
speeches, and a theatre for beseiged
British officers. In later years even
until now, it haa been tbe people's
resort in all kinds of excitement, war
meetings, political rallies, receptions
and banquets. It is popularly and
affectionately known as "Tbe Cradle
of Liberty," for bere tbe child liberty
wae born. James Otis the fiery
orator of colonial days declared in
tbis House that;a man's house waa
his castle. Another historic building
made famous by tbe songs of Longfellow is the Wayside Inn at Sudbury,
a-euburb of Boston. This was tbe
home of Hawthorne from 1852 after
his first return from Europe till time
of his death. It had been tbe bome

We think tbese two years have taught everybody a whole lot of things and the saloons wil! go out to stay out. A few things however should be kept eonstantly in mind. 1. Let no one expect too much. No one claims and no one pretends to believe that prohibition can absolutely prohibit, whether with reference to liquor selling, murder, arson, burglary or anything else. If people will exercise the same common sense ln one case as in the others, there need be no trouble. Prohibition is not a perfect remedy but it is the best remedy yet discovered. 2. Let no one suppose that the battle is now over. It has only just begun. A community poisoned with whiskey is like an old toper saturated with it. Voting the saloons out corresponds to tbe toper's signing the pledge. Each has made a good resolution but tbe battle is in tbe future. And we can be quite certain that we shall commence several degrees further down tbe scale than we left off two years ago. It will take five years to overcome the debauchery of two years of the saloons. 3. Law enforcement is incumbent upon everybody, exactly as mucn so on tbe wet man as the dry man. We were informed during the campaign tbat "prohibition tends to foster blind pigs." Who is going to foster them? Dry people do not want them and will not foster a solitary one. Do wet people intend to foster them? What possible rigbt have they to complain and criticise if they do? The Dry Federation is a permanent organization, one of whose objects is to see to it that all laws are enforced. Will the "Farmers' and Business lien's League" aid in this good work? If not, why not? 4. Let people get another nonsensical idea out of tbeir beads. Again and again we have heard the old chestnut, "Men cannot be made moral by law." Nobody in the world claims that tbey can. That is not the function of the iaw, but it can create conditions tbat make it easier for men to do right and harder to do wrong. Robt. G. Ingersoll used to aay tbat "You may frighten a man ao tbat be will not steal but you cannot frighten him so tbat be will not want to steal." It is far better for society and for tbe man himself tbat he refrain from stealing though fear may be the impelling motive. 6. Law enforcing officers must be elected that are in sympathy with tbe law. This ie so self-evident tba. no argument is necessary and this is one of the recognized objects of the Dry Federation. No local option county need expect the law to be made a success if those whose special duty it is to enforce the law want saloons and work tooth and nail to get them and keep them. It is infinitely more important to any county that it bave law enforcing ofhcers who respect their oath of office than tbat ■ these officers beiong to this party or tbat party.

DEAD BODY Found In Tobacco River On Friday. JURY IMPANNELED And Verdict Awaits Report Of Chemist. On Friday last while along the river on a fishing trip, Robt. Fride- born discovered a body some 15 or 20 rods below the Hubel bridge, a half mile west of the city limits. The body was that of a man some 50 years of age and had lodged against a small log and had become partially covered by sand washed against it. The city authorities were notified and Undertaker Thurston and two or three others brought the body to the undertaking rooms here where it was seen by many, none of whom recognized the man. On Monday Justice Thurston, acting as coroner, impanneled a jury consisting of Dan Crouse, T. C Holbrook, Al. Herrick, John Asline, T. B. Hirt and W. L. Adams, who listened to the testimony of Dr. Burt Sanford who had made an autopsy, and then they requested the justice to have an analysis made of the contents of the stomach and an adjournment was taken awaiting the report of the chemist. Dr Sanford testified that death did not result from drowning and there was no evidence of bodily injury to explain the matter. The jurors evidently feel certain that the body was thrown into the river and that there is evidence of foul play if only it can be discovered. The body has been placed in the vault at the cemetery.
