I am aware that the Prohibitionists are opposed to the saloon license law. and that substantially all religious denominations and Christian people are opposed to this license law. 1 have received the greatest encouragement in this case from many persons who are strongly opposed to what is called party prohibition, among whom are some of the most prominent lawyers in the State. This ra'c is not to aid the Prohibition party. It is a presentation of a question of law and not of politics.

“8KEETEUS” AND HIS IDENTITY'.
An Arizona Suicide Recalled By fiomo Information Newly Received.
Where he came from or what his real name was no one in the little village of Hlayton, Ariz., ever knew. (A reporter for The News recently has been told that hi* real name was Patton; that he was born near Hamilton, attended school at Oxford, O., and was a passenger br&keman on the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton, between Cincinnati and Dayton, and that the girl whose picture was found in hi* room wa.« a native of an Indiana town.) The villagers awoke one morning and found him there. He didn’t arrive on the one train per day. because everybody in the village saw every passenger who came in on that train. Stril no one particularly cared where or how 1ms came, and the name, “Skeeters,” given him by Jep Marley, the village joker, was taken as his proper title, and in that country it was not considered good “ettic^uetto” to ask many questions about a man's past or whether he was sporting his own name or a borrowed one. “fckeeiers'' had been in Slayton a year or more and was as mysterious as ever. His hands were hard but his voice was soft and musical. He worked
at
reach money, but his clothe* were always neatly brushed and it was a noticeable fact that lie could recite Latin “and spout poetry and do a lot of other darned fool things that there wasn't a cent of money in,” as mine host Duxherrv, of the Slayton, House, used to say, and Dnxberry was an oracle, because be wa* postmaster and kent

One evening when Kosina Dux berry was insulted by a drunken Mexican, “Skeelers”
diana they would have no standing nor law-
ful existence to-day.
“It has been said of the English peoole that they are the most law-abiding people j in the world. If they want to cut off the j head of the king they can find a law to i iustify it, and if they want to preserve the j life of the king they can hang a man for j dreaming that the king is dead. This is an- j other way of saying that ‘where there is a J will there is a way.' I have been earnestly presenting a case pointing out a way founded upon sound legal principles that makes outlaws of the saloons in Indiana. Under .the constitutional provision cited in this case it is made Ihe duty of the legislature to provide by all suitable means for the pro- ! motion of morality. In this saloon license j act tho Legislature specifically provides by | mean* best suited to the purpose for the promotion of immorality. In the saloon license act tho Legislature docs exactly the reverse of what it is commanded to do bv the constitution. This issue will not down.” Another Ferriter Sentenced. After five hours’ deliberation, the jury which tried John I^rriter for breaking into the When store, found him guilty Saturday evening and returned a verdict fixing his punishment at five years iu the northern prison. James Ferriter, who was jointly indicted for the crime, was dismissed.
