OHIO SPEAKER TALKS BEFOREJMUDIEIICE (Continued .from Pace One.)

poverty. An institution which is morUly right can never be financially wrong. You should not be mislead to believe that there is a moral wrong and a business right. Presents Argument. "You will hear it said in this campaign that the saloon ia an adjunct to business. Where is it an adjunct to busfceas except the liquor traffic Itself? They will tell you that when the town is dry that the business will be dull, bnt I say even with the town wet what becomes of the money spent for booze? It soes into the pockets of the saloon traffic promoters and the merchant does not get an additional cent. "What is commerce and what makes business good? It is the exchange of useful articles. The saloon does not come within this idea. "Liquors contain alcohol which is a poison and has a detrimental effect on the cells. The dean of the medical corps of the New York City Red Cross eays that every human body is composed of millions of cells. The brain Is composed of little groups of cells having different functions, one controls the heart muscles, another the lung muscles, still another controls the body muscles, another group the Judgment and reason. "The action of the alcohol on the cells, which contain water, albumen and fatty substance, is that the water Js absorbed, the albumen hardened and the fatty substance disintegrated. Action of Alcohol. "There used to be a time when it was the common and thought to be proper thing for anyone going out into the cold to drink whiskey to warm him. It is true that it does warm a person but only momentarily. The alcohol paralyzes the muscles of the heart and the blood rushes through the veins and comes closer to the surface than at any other time. But the blood must go back to the heart, consequently in going back and then returning into the veins it becomes comer than normal. "Who, of you people, would want a drunken doctor attend you if you were.

dangerously ill? Who would want a drunken lawyer to defend you if you were on trial for murder? No, not one of you would want such a man, you would say that he was unfit for the job. "Thomas A. Edison says. 'Drinking is to the man like pouring sand on the bearings of a delicate machine.' "Luther Burbank says, 'No man can work with success and have his mind poisoned.' "Secretary of State Bryan says, 'The saloon is a nuisance, the first place to hunt a criminal and the last place to find virtue and r like this characterization. Keeps Money In Banks. "I challenge any man to show me that the banks do not have a larger surplus in the savings department in dry territories than otherwise. Tho statistics of Preble county, Miami county and scores of other counties in the state of Ohio will bear me out in this matter. When the saloon is wiped out then the money spent for booze is placed in a savings bank. 'In most cases the taxable property has increased a greater percent in dry territories than in wet counties. "In wet territories the percentage of insane is more than 200 percent greater than in dry ones "The wet forces will tell you that there will be as much beer and liquor drunk in the town if it is dry as there is now that it is wet. You don't have to explain it, it's nothing but a lie. "Of course the old toper who must have his drink will leave the city and travel half way across the state to get a drink or will patronize a blind tiger, or boot legger but the percentage of the population which will do this is comparatively small. "The boys are not going down a dirty, dark alley and talk to a few old rum soaked bootleggers in order to get a drink, no, they will do without it first. Business Going.. "In last appeal, I would advise you not to link yourself with a dying cause. God and the church has united to stamp out the liquor traffic and the saloon and its traffic is doomed. Thirty millions of people have placed their stamp of disapproval on the traffic. "The traffic men and saloon interest say that they will stand for limitations. But in the Ohio legislature they lined every man they could against a measure which would place limitations on the business even when the limitations were far below what they first asked the legislators. In

Cleveland and Cincinnati the saloonists held mass meetings and decreed that they would not obey the laws. "They say that a license was Invented by the devil, patented by the politicians and operated to make the corpse look respectable. "No license will never help the solution of the liquor problems. "My last words are to urge you to wage a strong fight and vote the town of Richmond dry." Nicholson Presides. S. Edgar Nicholson, head of the Citizens committee, was presiding offloer of the meeting. Upon the vote of the people at the meeting it was decided to hold another meeting Friday night in the building. This time Samuel Small, one of the best known temperance orators will be the principal speaker. Special music will also be Arranged. Mr. Nicholson urged that all the dry men sign the petition. When he ask

ed if there was a voter In the audience who had not signed a petition not a single hand was upraised. According to Mr. Nicholson the number of signers is unusually large at this time.

It is expected that at next week'sJ

meeting ex-Governor R. B. Bland, of North Carolina will be brought here to speak at the tabernacle. This plan, however, is only tentative. Quartet Sings. The double male, quartet sang two numbers. Mrs. F. W. Krueger also sang two solos, "The Man of Galilee" and "A Mother's Love." Mr. Nicholson urged that the cottage prayer meetings be continued throughout the temperance campaign as they were a source of much good to the cause. "One business man and perhaps two have said to me that a dry town is a

dead town." said Mr. Nicholson, "but don't be caught iy such stuff. There are fifty-six saloons and not one cent goes Into the pockets of the people. "Another man told me that if the town went dry there would be more liquor drunk than if the town went wet. I reply that tf that were the case the Minck brewery would immediately put from $1,000 to $5,000 in the funds to hare the city go dry."
