Waterloo, Ind., Dec. 4.—During the recent local option election in, DeKalb, when the county went dry by 959 majority, the only newspaper advocate In the county of the saloons was the Waterloo Dawn, published by Abe Kelly and edited by a Mr. Moffett, late of Hartford City, the latter coming here as a trained “wet” editor and professedly confident that he would make the county go “wet” Thursday of this week: was the first issue of his paper since the election, and this is what he hay of the reult: “The total vote in the county was • -841 less than in the election of 1908. As the drys asserted and stil insist that they got out all their votes the conclusion is. that had a full vote been recorded the wets would have carried the so-called ‘election.’ There seems . to be no doubt that a majority of the I voters of DeKalb county aye fa favor of the licensed saloon not withstanding the large majority given the drys [ at Saturday’s election. The drys won Mmply because the wets did not get out and vote.” " 'J. ' “There were hundreds of respectable k wet voters all over the county who | failed to vote; thy preferred to re- - mafa away rather than to meet the taunts aad insolent assumption of authority oFfEe wwreray fanatics JI that surrounded most of the polling {places fa the copnty. In Waterloo this ] (Grant) township more than one hunt dred wet votes stayed away from the polls-enough to change the dry ma--54 Jority to a wet majority.’’

The attendance was splendid and the program was very intereetlng as instructive. The afternoon session opened with a song by the Berne quartet. David Swartz then gave a meritorious talk on “The Kingdom of Peace.” He said that society is composed of the home, school and church. The most important is the home, of course but the others are also very necessary. Miss Vergia Buckmaster gave some good “Hiiits on Primary Teaching/’ and her talk weis well the point Prof. E. E. Rice then gave one ot the Interesting talks on “The School of Today,” and Che question was further discussed by F. D. Huff. A recitation by Miss Elizabeth fieltler pleased the teachers. “Our Common Schools” was next by J. A. Buckmaster and was excellent as was the discussion by J. H. Walters, who said that manners should be taught and who suggested that the teafher should not bottle up his enthusiasm. An educational quiz with three-minute talks closed the daj*s work and proved a z very delightful .half hour. The institute was pleasant and profitable and all who attended were enthusiastic over the session. : — —-o — h Washington, Dec. 6—Representa- : tive Adair will introduce a bill to pension all soldiers at |3O a month, and abolish the pension agencies. He says the records will show that about 48,000 veterans of the Civil war will die this year, reducing the pension payments about ten million dollars In the aggregate. He insists the time has come when every soldier of that war should have a dollar a day pension and he believes enough money can be saved by economies of administration, including the abolishment of the agencies to obviate any Increase of pension appropriations. Representative Adair wiH Introduce an anti-trust bill which will provide penttenltary sentences for trust magnates. “That’s the only way of getting at the trust evil,” he said. “The only way to break up the trusts is to treat the guilty trust baron just like he was a chicken thief or a man convicted of any other larceny. When a lew trust performers are put behind the barb and fareet to don stripes there will be no more complaint of the trusts. To fine a trust will never accomplish anything, as the trust simply raises Its prices so as to collect the amount of the fine off of the people, and goes right on violating the law. The more fines the government assess the trusts the more the people will. be forced to pay for the necessaries and comforts of life.” ■
