dent of eliminating a few contendr

Centerville haa made a splendid

Iie best teams in the state and is kely to be in at the finish. Center-

lille's squad will arrive in Blooming-

Ira with the locals and will piay in the

With but one game to play, the Earlham basketball five has made one

, of the best records in the history of the school, winning seven out of the twelve games played and scoring 297 ) points 206 for its opponents. The team will meet the 'Y" quintet In the final game of the season, March 18 or March 31. Wabash proved the Quakers' stumbling block, as has been the case in years past. Earlham dropped two games to the Scarlet, one to Indiana, State Normal and Rose Poly. With the exception of the Wabash games, however, the Quakers more than avenged themselves by running up large scores on these teams. .The Earlham team loses five letter men this year, as Rowe, Williams, Wolfe, Stanley and Lamb graduate in June. This loss, however, will be off

set to some extent by the wealth of good material on hand. "Cy" Lancaster, "Capie" Logan, "Kua" Kemper andLanning probably will form the nucleus for the 1916 team, with Thistlethwaite. Little, Edwards, Cox, Trueblood, Wallace and Klnnamon fighting for vacancies. Earlham's 1914 record follows: Earlham 24 Winona Ag... 6

EARLHAM WITS SECOiT GAME

FEDS NOT TO PLAY

HERE THIS SEASON

The Chicago Federal League team

t ill not play in this city, at least not hi spring, as a communication re-

leived from Joe Tinker, manager of

iie Windy City nine, says it will be

Impossible to give the Richmond club

Sunday date.

It was largely through a mieunder-

Itanding that the locals failed to get

booking with the Feds, as Tinker ex

pressed himself in favor of playing

here, early in the season. The Rich-

lond proposition was mixed up with

In offer from Covington, Ky., for the

tpril 12 date, and the best Tinker

lould do for the local fans was to

fffer the preceding day for a game.

The local management would not

lousider a week day game as the ex

pense attached to bringing the Feds

kere would be considerable, and the

local backers did not feel that they

ould afford the game here on a Sat

urday, as many fans would he unable

lo witness the game for business

reasons.

Reagan Believes His Team Is Able to "Come Back" if Given Opportunity. Not satisfied with the result of the first game played between the two teams, the Earlham basketball five has booked a return game with the "Y" champs, to be staged either on March 18 or at the close of the sea

son. The first meeting of the two teams resulted in a 37 to 25 win for the "Y" crew, but Reagan thinks that his war- ' riors can come back, and with Logan, l the sensational forward, in this game : predicts a "Y" disaster.

tapiam luxmig ui ma bbsuuuiiiuu quintet, on the other hand, believes that his team will more than hold its own against the collegians, as the record made by the team shows that his crowd has ben improving as well as Captain Rowe's bunch.

The burden of the hired writer for the saloons of Richmond is that our city saloons obey the law. Granting for the moment the truth of his statement, even if it be not true, that has no more to do with the present issue in Richmond than does the man in the moon have to do with these liquor advertisements. Is the saloon any less a center of evil in the community because, forsooth, it fears to violate the law? Does the fact that our saloons obey the law on Sunday and after hours turn any of that $600,000, that is woes than wasted, into our stores and shops and real estate firms? Does the saloon become a saint because it decides to obey the law? Does the saloon rob fewer of our homes of carpets, good clothing and substantial food simply because it can pat itself upon the back and say, "I obey the law?" The issue is not one of giving credit to the saloons that obey the law. What else should they be expected to do? The issue in Richmond now is the saloon itself which is on trial, a liability on the public whether it obeys the law or whether it does not, and upon that issue this campaign is going to be fought out.

VALUE OF POSITIVE TESTIMONY. The Citizens' Committee continues to receive an abundance of corroborative evidence as to the value of the no-saloon policy as applied to a municipality. In fact, the Committee would not be able to publish all tnat it has now on hands establishing the benefit of a saloonlesB city, were it to use all the space in both newspapers published in this city. The liquor traffic and the brewery trusts and saloon writers for pay are experts at manufacturing arguments and evidence as well, but all that they can throw together cannot destroy the force of positive testimony coming from multiplied hundreds of dry towns and cities in the country that the saloon hurts" general business, piles up taxes, corrupts the home life and threatens the general public welfare. Does any sane man believe that the millions of voters in the nine prohibition states and in the multiplied hundreds of municipalities and townships in other states which have banished the saloons have been hoodwinked and misled into taking action against their own interests and the interests of the public of which they are a part? On the contrary everybody knows, who has given five minutes thought to the situation, that the voters who constitute these dry majorities are made up of the clearest thinking, hardest headed, warmest hearted men In their respective communities. They are the men who pay the great bulk of the taxes, who have at heart both the business, the moral and the ppiritual welfare of the neighborhood. SOME OF TH r TESTIMONIALS. Here is another testimonial of a hie.: order concerning the effect of no saloons in the city of Kckomo, Indiana. The writer is editor and prop.etor of the leading newspaper of the city and a man of affairs who would scorn to mislead anybody about conditions as they are. His testimony corroborates that of Mr Fredrick published yesterday, and it may be said In passing that this testimony can be multiplied by the great bulk of the substantial business men and tax payers of that city. What is true of Kokomo is found to be true of Marlon and Crawfordsville and the other dry cities and townships of Indiana. The following is the letter which ought to be read by every citizen and tax payer of Richmond: THE KOKOMO DAILY TRIBUNE. John Arthur Kautr, Publisher Kokomo, Indiana, March 9, 1914. Hon S E. Nicholson, Chairman Citizens' Committee. My Dear Sir: Replying to your inquiry about the effect of the dry regime in this city, it is agreed all around that Kokomo's business interests are all thriving without saloons far better than they ever did with saloons. There does not seem to be any dispute for this truth from any quarter. Rental agencies having properties to rent for business or residence purposes say there is better demand for these properties now than formerly and all rents are paid more promptly. There are no vacant business rooms in the city and the demand for residence properties continues up to the supply. Merchants are of one voice in saying trade is better, collections better and losses less now than in the era of saloons. Manufacturers find labor conditions far more satisfactory now than formerly. Better men are available for all work and the service they render is more efficient and satisfactory in every way. School teachers in schools In the factory districts are greatly gratified at the improved conditions of the children, better clothed, better nourished and more capable of good work. Charity organizations find their work greatly simplified and the dispensing of public aid through the township trustee is at a minimum. This city has voted on the proposition to exclude saloons three times. The first election was with the county unit and in that the city went wet by about 250 majority. The next election was in he city unit and the result was so nearly an even break that the controversy went into the courts resulting in excluding the saloons. The last election was little more than one year ago when the dry majority was an even hundred. Thus it will be seen that the sentiment against saloons here is steadily growing. The only surprise is that with all the undisputed arguments against saloons the majorities have not increased more rapidly. The best opinion here is that the sentiment for exclusion is stronger than ever and if another election Is ever called the drys will carry the election by much stronger majority. Very respectfully, TALE OF TWO CITIES. The following comparative statistics for the cities of Fargo, North Dakota and Moorhead, Minn., which are only a mile apart, is most significant. Fargo has been under prohibition for ten years and Moorhead has had saloons.

FARGO, N. D. HAD One Mile of Street pavement for each 676 population. Water main for each 270 population. Sewers for each 388 population. City Debt. $9.50 per capita. Ratio City Debt to assessed valuation, 7.8 per cent. City tax rate 15.98 mills. No saloons for 10 years.

MOORHEAD, MINN., HAD One Mile of Street pavement for each 8,862 population. Water main for each 702 population. Sewers for each 858 population. City Debt, $44.79 per capita. Ratio City Debt to assesed valuation, 20.8 per cent. City tax rate 21.83 mills. 46 licensed saloons.

These two towns lie near each other, have largely the same conditions of life and other things being equal ought to show practically the same results. The disturbing feature is the presence of the saloon, and in'ocneequenoe Moorhead suffers In comparison with her no-license and eaterprUlmc neighbor. DRY KANSAS VERSUS WET MISSOURI. Missouri has more natural advantages than Kansas, such as mineral deposits, forests and richer soil. It has more rainfall and has a nearer market. It is an older state than Kansas, yet the following comparisons arm most significant. It should be remembered that Kansas is a dry state, and gets no revenue from the saloon, while Missouri has over 4,060 saloons, which" consume more than $80,000,060 of the people's money every year. The following comparisons will be read with interests by all Richmond veterst

KANSAS, DRY. Population 1.690,000 Most towns of 1.500 population and over have electric lights and water and sewer systems. Assesed valuation, $2,750,000,000. Assessed valuation per capita, $1,750.00. In panic of 1907, Kansas sent nearly $50,000,000.00 to help eastern banks. Per capita deposit in banks, over $100.60. One farmer out of every five owns an automobile. Common labor gets $14.00 per week. Kansas expends on an average $1.48 for each person per year for liquor. Kansas has been depositing her money In banks and investing it

NEW JER8EY WET VERSUS MAINE AND KANSAS DRY. New Jersey has approximately the same population as Maine and Kansas together. A comparison of conditions r.s revealed a few years ago will be most interesting:

MISSOURI, WET. ; Population 2.800,000 Many towns of 4.000 to 6,000 population have "no paved streets, electric lights or water system. Assessed valuation, $1,C50,000,0. Assessed valuation per capita, $300.00. In same panic Missouri refused to send a dollar. Per capita deposit in baaks. $20.00. One farmer in every hundred owns an automobile. Common labor gets $S.OO per week. Mlssourians expend an average of $24.00 for each person per year for liquor. Missouri has been wasting her money.

WORKING AN OLD GAG OVERTIME. The liquor advocates are constantly raisins the bugaboo of the "blind country where there is anything like the amount or liquor c onsumed under the no-llcense system as was consumed when the town had licensed Faloons. Because the law against theft does not stop all stealing, it is not to be Judged incompetent. Because men commie murder is no grounds for a plea that murder 6hall be fostered or licensed. If this liquor contention were true about the blind ti.scr. and the boot legger selling more liquor or even as much liquor, as uiulvr tbo licenced saloon, every brewery and every distillery in the land would be contributing thousands of dollars to the success of local option. The wetest dry town in all this country is ten tiins wcter than the dryest wet town can possibly be. The liquor advocates know this better than anybody else and that is the reason they object to the nolicenfe policy. The issue, however, is not whether a few old topors may be able to find a drink now and then up some dark alley, where they have to poke their dime through a hole in the wall, but the issue and the only issue Is whether or not Richmond is going to foster and protect 56 centers of evil, 56 direct competitors of all other business, 56 places which are a standing Invitation to moral depravity, public pauperism and public debauchery. Our friend, the writer for the saloon.? of Richmond cannot bvcloud this issue and get away with the goods.
