THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY, MAR. 11, 1914

GIVE TESTIMONIALS Oil LIQUOR QUESTION . ' Timothy Nicholson 4 H o Ids Empty Saloon Rooms Must Be Ventilated.

Following the reading of an address "by Professor . Russell of Earlham college at the Reid Memorial church last evening, members of the audience gave testimony on the liquor question. E. O. Hill, florist, suggested that since Atlanta, Ga., went dry, business had Increased and the slum districts ere being eliminated. Richard Sedgwick emphasized the fact that it was personal man to man "work that counted in this campaign. He suggested a house to house canvass to be conducted by the men. George Hamilton, of Muncie, said now that it had voted dry, he was glad he had come from Muncie. He paid that in the other elections court frauds and other injustices had defeated the drys. He also said the business men of Muncie would say that there was more business in a saloonless town than a wet town. "When the town went dry three ryears ago there was not an empty store room in the business section," declared Mr. Hamilton. Forseee Ventilation. Timothy Nicholson said he presumed the rooms occupied by the saloons would probably be unfit for use until after they had been ventilated for three months. "I expect they would have to have new floors in them," he added. One man testified that drinking persons were the hardest to collect money from saying that his firm lost $60 on one single drinking man. Addison Parker argued that the temperance question was fast becoming a problem and that he thanked the public press for the part it was taking. "With one newspaper making h stand, and the other ready to receive and print the news, Richmond js well fixed to take up the fight," he said. Several men testified and recited e ases where the drinking man was the Inferior to his neighbor who did not touch liquor. S. Edgar Nicholson, dry manager, acknowledged that the drys were financially embarrassed and that funds were needed by the organization. He distributed small cards and announc ed that pledges were desired from the men of the city. There will be a similar meeting next Tuesday evening. Plans are belnj? laid for dry workers to take a holiday March 24 and meet at the precinct voting places.

MOON TO DISAPPEAR For the only time in 1914, the earth will be shrouded in darkness tonight, as far as the moon's light-making ability is concerned, from 10:13 to 11:44 o'clock. The moon will appear at 9 o'clock, partially eclipsed, and by 10:13 the earth's shadow will have completely covered it. The total eclipse will last but a short time, when the shadow will gradually disappear, and it. will have recoved its normal appearance by midnight. This is the only time the planet will be the feature body in astronomy this year. However, an eclipse of 1he sun is slated for August 20 and 21, but astronomers say it will not be visible in this section of the country, and will be seen only in Asia and Europe. AWFUL PAINS FULLY DESCRIBED A Lady of Pizarro Tells Story ol Awful Suffering That Cardui Finally Relieved. ': Pizarro, Va. "I suffered for several years," writes Mrs. Dorma A. Smith, "with that awful backache and the bearing down sensations, so fully described in your book. "I tried doctors and other medicines and found little relief, until I was induced to try Wine of Cardui, when I found instant relief and today I can heartily recommend Cardui to all suffering women and think there is no other as good." In- some instances, Cardui gives instant relief; in others, it may take a little time. But in all cases of female trouble Cardui can be depended on to be of benefit, as it is a specific remedy for women and acts in a curative way on the womanly organs. As a general tonic for women, to build up your strength, improve your appetite, bring back rosy cheeks and make -you look and feel young and happy, nothing you can find will do so much for you as Cardui.

Wet and Dry Communications

Editor's Note This space ; Is reserved for communications on the local option election. All letters must bear the name and address of the writers. Contributions will appear la the order received. J. W. LAMB'8 VIEWS. Editor Palladium: In replying to Bennett Gordon's article on the liquor traffic, I wonder at a man with his intellect allying himself with the lowest down business on , the face of the earth. A business allowed to be called such, because it is licensed by the Uuited States government. A business which gains Its wealth by destroying men's souls, by sapping the blood from the veins of innocent women and children, and making murderers of Its finished products. And the thief who would steal our purse has just as much right to ask the government to license his vocation and call it a business as the liquor traffic has. Mr. Gordon is pleased to call the temperance movement "hysteria ana fiction." If he thinks a temperance movement is hysterical, then I suppose he would term Christ hysterical, because he taught men to do right and to strive to overcome the evil which surrounded them. It is the same kind of a fight that he waged on the evils when he was on the earth. Let us look for a few moments at what we have lined up on each side of this movement. On the one side we have the breweries and distilleries, the saloon keepers and bartenders, the riffraff of society, our criminals with the prisons, and the business man who would rather run the risk of his son dying a drunkard's death, or of his daughter marrying a drunkard and living her life in a hell here on earth, than to run the risk of losing a few paltry dollars in trade. On the other side we have the churches with .-their ministers and congregations, the leading railroads and the bankers, and all the best people of our land, and last but not least, the Bible, that grand old book from which I want to make a few quotations later on. But my quarrel is not with the saloon keeper but with the business itself. The soul of the saloon keeper is just as precious in the sight of God as is that of the minister, according to the book, and rest assured what we find in the Bible is true, no matter what Mr. Gordon or any of his followers say or believe, and when you sneer at religion your sneers will come back to you fourfold in the future. In Proverbs, xx-1, we find that "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." And in Proverbs, xxiii: 20-21. "Be not among wine bibblers; among riotous eaters of flesh;" "For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty, and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags." Also verses 29, 30, 31 and 32, of the same chapter. "Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?" "They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine." "Look not thou upon the wine when it is red; when it giveth his color in the cup; when it moveth Itself aright." "At the last it biteth like a serpant and stingeth like an adder." Am I my brother's keeper? Most assuredly yes. In Romans, xiv: 13and 21, we find the following words: "Let us not therefore judge one another any more; but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling UNEMPLOYED MAN WEALTHY WITH $700 llyman Finuelsu-m, u tailor, who was among the 191 members of the unemployed brigade arrested at St. Alphonsus' church in New York i when the band stormed the church ana asked lor shelter and food for the night. Finkelstein, when searched at the police station, was found to have more than 700 in his pockets. CALL A TAXI ANY DAY HOUR NIGHT ONE 21 04 JR.

Nock, or an occasion to fall, In his brother's way." "It Is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or Is offended, or Is made weak." IT these words be true the Christian cant vote "wet" because he Is casting a stumbling block In bis brother's way. If he does, he may fool his fellow men, but he can't fool God. J. W.LAMB. 1$ Southwest Fifth, Richmond, Ind.

WRIGHT'S OPINION. J. B. Gordon, who recently came across two states to champion the cause of the "wets" or liberals as they euphemistically style themselves Is no ordinary man. Any fellow who, like him can set his brain to whirling bo fast that it throws off persiflage and offensive paradox at tangents, like mud is thrown from an automobile wheel, is a freak and an anomaly. You will remember, reader, that it was Mr. 'Gordon who led the "wets" to victory in the last campaign. It J was he who libelled himself by libel-! ling others. I take . it that, in that I giverelther absolute privilege or else he-like myself-was execution proof, for otherwise, somebody would certainly have made him a aeienaant in a libel suit. Mr. Gordon, in his first article for the "wets" writes in his usual easy style which is characterized by "knocking." He confounds honest conviction and Christian conversion with hysteria; fiction with fact and libel with truth. Ordinarily the Christian converts who are seized with hysteria are those whose minds have been harassed with a sense of shame caused by the remembrance of some henious crime which they have committed while in the peroxysms of a drunken madness Admitting, though for the eake of argument that many fellows, who were never notoriously bad, have been seized with religious hysterics, who of them ever snatched bread from the mouth of a baby? Who of them ever struck dead a loving wife? Who of them ever robbed a family of a community's respect? Fiction is not a fundament of Christian religion, or Is it any part of it. Fiction properly belongs to the novelist and to property law. As regards libel. Mr. Gordon must prove by the weight of authority and fact that the members of the AntiSaloon League have published libelous matter. Again Mr. Gordon says that the greater part of insanity is not attributable to drinking (intoxicants.) It may be that drinking is not the cause of the greater part of insanity. However, it is an indispensable condition in the concatenated chain of causation. Drinking arouses passions; passions lead to error; error begets disease and disease causes the greater part of insanity. Voters of Richmond, close the licensed saloon do not fail to do so be- ! cause you think you may cause the loss of rentals, for the rental value ot fifty odd rooms is worth infinitely less than one human soul. Voter, the question which you will be called upon to decide at the end of this campaign is not merely whether Richmond will he wet or dry after March 24, 1914. You are to determine in the form of your conscience and at the polls, the issue between legalized vice and moral virtue. Consider carefully your ballot. A. Chester Wright, Williamsburg, Ind. March 10, 1914. JOHNSQnOJBESIDE Governor's 'Secretary to Introduce Fred Landis. B. B. Johnson, secretary to Governor Ralston, will preside at the Sunday afternoon tabernacle meeting, instead of Mayor Robbins, announced S. Edgar Nicholson, the dry leader. Upon receiving a letter from the citizens' committee the city executive replied to Mr. Nicholson that he would be unable to take official duties at the mass meeting, declaring that he desired to be neutral on the matter. It is understood that Mr. Johnson intends to speak a few minutes in reply to the attack made upon him by ! State Senator Steve Fleming ana later by J. Bennett Gordon. Both men attacked his stand for the drys, intimating that Johnson was dry owing to the fact that a company was being formed to compete with an ice company in which he is a stockholder. Preparations are being made for the men's parade Sunday afternoon to march to the tabernacle. Frederick Landis, of Iogansport, will be the principle speaker. Last year Mr. Landis was the Progressive candidate for lieutenant governor. RICHMOND PROOF Should Convince Every Richmond Reader. The frank statement of a neighbor, telling the merits of a remedy, Bids you pause and believe. The same endorsement By some stranger far away Commands no belief at all. Here's a Richmond case. A Richmond citizen testifies. Read and be convinced. Benjamin Lunsford, 20th and South B streets, Richmond, Indiana, says: "I was annoyed by attacks of kidney complaint for fifteen years. When ever 1 Caught cold, my back ached Sometimes the kidney secretions were profuse. Doan's Kidney Pills checked these annoyances completely. Once or twice since then, when I have taben this remedy, it has done good wark. The endorsement I gave Doan's Kidney Pills a few years ago still holds good." Price, 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Lunsford had. Foster-Milburn Co., props., Buffalo, N. Y. ( Advertisement) Typewriter Stands and Desks From $4.00 up.

SMELSER CHOSEN SECRETARYJF CLOB Former Local Man to Lead Work of Rushville Commercial Organization.

RUSHVILLE. Ind., March 11. Lawrence B. Smelser, formerly of Richmond, a teacher in the high school here, was unanimously elected secretary of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday by the executive board of the organization, from a field of several candidates. He will not devote his entire time to the secretaryship until the close of the school term In May. Mr. Smelser Is a graduate of the Richmond high school and of Earlham college. He is an intimate friend of Charles Jordan, secretary of the Richmond Commercial club, which is one of the most virile and active commercial organizations in the United States. Mr. Smelser has conferred i with Mr. Jordan to get Ideas of the work. lnph" llr(1efldten' hmond and It? J2?enlJ 2rlhm f1,ee' I S?'3r observed M i0?1 the ; k Hnr. .u .l.. " L'i IQRC U IJ Lilt? WIMH.

Because he has some knowledge, more, in fact that the members of the board of directors, the committee felt that it was a rare 'opportunity to get a secretary so equipped. From time to time Mr. Smelser will get additional data from Mr. Jordan to help him with the work of the local organization. Mr. Jordan will go to any length to accommodate the Rushville secretary as a friend, and this should mean much, the committee believe's, to the organization.

CHRONIC COLDS Are Contracted by Changeable Weather. A Simple Remedy. Sudden changes are particularly trying for old people or those who suffer from a weakened, run-down condition, chronic coughs, colds or bronchitis, but if such persons would i only apply common sense methods in Ithe treatment of their condition, much j discomfort and suffering might be ' avoided. The most essential thing to do 'is ' to build up strength, enrich the blood, increase vital resistance ana to accomplish this nothing equals Vinol, our cod liver and iron tonic. Mrs. M. J. Grimes of Springfield, Ohio, says: "I was badly run-down nervous and weak, and while in this 1 condition I contracted a heavy cold i and rheumatism. Vinol was recommended and I am happy to say it cured niy cold and restored me to health again." Old people, delicate children, rundown, overworked and tired women. j those suffering from bronchitis, j chronic coughs and colds should try a bottle of Vinol. We will return 1 your money if it does not help you. j Leo H. Fihe, druggist, Richmond, Ind. ; P. S. For Eczema of Scalp try our ! Saxo Salve. We guarantee it. i IJUaUH COLUMN Phone 1235
