Wet and Dry Communications

Editor's Note This space la roaonrod for communications on the local option election. AH letters must bear the name and address ot the writers. Contributions 'will appear In the order received. AN APPEAL TO REASON. Editor Richmond Palladium.-: Let as omit personalities, waloh-foe the issue. In this campaign, and endeavor to use reason In onr arguments for and against the saloon. Every fair-minded person should be willing to hear both sides of the question logically presented in order to arrive at a Just and a wise decision. The writer wishes to try to show some reasons "why the saloon should be eliminated from our fair city. ECONOMIC. Is It profitable to the community from a financial standpoint? ' Is there any real accretion to the city treasury from the revenues of the saloon (license and taxes)? This seems to be the point most agitated, and one brought forth by citiaens who deprecate it from every other view point. Professor Elbert Russell, of Earlham college, has prepared statistics, to be published in detail, which he personally collated from the court house records, showing that the revenues which accrue from this business are more than absorbed by the expense necessary in caring for the after consequences directly traceable thereto: crime, poverty, insanity, divorce, etc. Let every one honestly desiring facts and figures as they apply to our community, carefully read his article. There is always a great hue and cry raised in an engagement of this nature relative to the increase in taxes consequent upon the banishment of the saloon, and, strange to relate, many of the most zealous advocates of this argument are those whose taxes are comparatively nothing. The writer is of the firm opinion that the reverse will prove true, after a brief period of readjustment to radically changed conditions. Records of other towns in Indiana voting "dry" demonstrate that within thirty or sixty days every room formerly devoted to the sale of liquor was leased for a legitimate business, one whose taxes were not devoured by expenses in caring for the evil effect resulting from its continuance. However, if we admit, for the sake of argument solely, that such were not the case, that the taxes would be somewhat higher, would we not get more value received from such excess amount than from any money we ever spent? Think of the evils abolished, the temptations removed! Of what value are a few paltry dollars when compared with the welfare and happiness of ourselves and our neighbors ? MATERIAL. This caption refers to the effects of intoxicants upon the physical, mental, moral and spiritual sides of man, all of which are most intimately in-1 terrelated. Now. is there any argu-i ment in favor of the saloon on this point? Can any man deliberately assert that he has been made better physically, keener mentally, or inspired to more lofty thoughts and impulses by indulgence in the "flowing bowl"? If there be such a one, let him present his experience in these columns. Malt and spirituous liquors ar not foods in any sense, no portion of them can be assimilated by the digestive system and converted into pure blood and healthy tissues; therefore, they should not be imbibed, for the body is a delicate piece of mecchanism which registers each and very violation, no matter how slight, and our efficiency depends upon its narmal functioning. Liquors are poisons which the body begins to eliminate immediately upon their entrance, thus taking its vitality for a useless and unnecessary labor. PROGRESS. Many believe sincerely that we will Hot be bettering conditions by the elimination of the saloon, for they state that there will be as much or more sold and drunk right here in the town, and in the next breath they assert that men will go to other cities to purchase their liquor and while there will purchase other commodities, thus injuring our merchants. Well, with the saloon removed, we will have taken a step in the right direction, and it will then be incumbent upon us to pursue our advantage. So far as "blind tigers" are concerned, did not the mayor state that he would enforce the law, and are not all our city officers under a like obligation? Should they be remiss in their duties, cannot the same majority which voted to expel the saloon, elect men who can and will respond to the inspiration of decent citizenship? Also, what percentage of drinking men need it so badly that they will travel miles to obtain it? I pause for a reply. Finally, my brethren, let us be very thoughtful in the coming election, realizing the responsibility which rests upon us as voters, and LIFE'S ROAD Smoothed by Change of Food. Worry is a big load to carry and an unnecessary one. When accompanied by indigestion it certainly is cause for the blues. But the whole trouble may be easily thrown off and life's road be made easy and comfortable by proper eating and the cultivation of good cheer. Read what a Troy woman says: "Two years ago I made the acquaintance of Grape-Nuts and have used the food once a day and sometimes twice, ever since. "At the time I began to use it life was a burden. I was for years afflicted with bilious sick headache, caused by indigestion, and nothing seemed to relieve me. "The troifble became so severe I had to leave my work for days at a time. "My nerves were in such a state I could not sl.ep and the doctor said I was on the verge of nervous prostration. I saw an adv. concerning GrapeNuts and bought a package for trial. "What Grape-Nutss has done for me is certainly marvelous. I can now sleep like a child, am entirely free from the old trouble and have not had a headache in over a year. I fesl like a new person. I have recommended it to others. One man I knew ate principally Grape-Nuts while working on tho ice all whiter, and he said he nover felt better in his life."

IT'S ROTTEN STILL. In the fight that is now on it Js well to remove, if possible, all misunderstanding. Mr. Gordon evidently thinks my epithet "rotten" applies to his facts. In this he is mistaken. Facts are never rotten. ' They often reveal rottenness. The rot was not in Mr. Gordon's facts but in misuse of the facts. It is a fact that if we vote out the saloon we are almost certain to have blind tigers. Mr Gordon advises the city to keep the saloons for fear we get the blind tigers. This is the advice he gave us years ago. It is his advice that is rotten. It was rotten then and it smells worse now. Mr. Gordon is a past master in the use of counterfeit logls. In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates Lincoln fired this shot at Douglas: "I protest against the counterfelt logic which concludes that because I do not want a black woman for my slave, I must want her for my wife. I do not need to have her for either." I protest against the counterfeit logic that concludes that Richmond must have regulated saloons or blind tigers. She does not need either. She does not have to have them. No one" knows better than Mr. Gordon that if we are ever to be free from the saloon evil we must also fight and conquer the blind tiger evil. He advises us not to begin the fight. His advice is rotten. It is also cowardly. He himself is no coward, yet he advises our city to take a cowardly course of action. I have heard of a doctor whose specialty was to cure fits. Being called to see aipatient who was very ill, he, after a. very careful examination, said "I don't know what the trouble Is, but I'll tell you what I can do. I can throw the patient into fits and then I can cure the fits." Mr. Gordon says if you cure this patient of the saloon disease you'll throw her into blind tiger fits. Let her alone; I say we'll throw her into fits and then cure the fits. "Better endure the ills we have than to fly to others we know not of," is ever cowardly advice. It is not by such advice that victories are won and cities made clean. S. R. LYONS. A STATEMENT. Editor of the Palladium: Will you kindly give space to this little sketch in the people's column. Suppose it could be possible and the Richmond saloon keepers would give a show of all the results and effect of all the liquor they have sold in the past Ave years, their advertisement would run something like this: The only original, mammoth, greatest show on earth; this most interesting and instructive show is to be given in Richmond March 16. In the great ampitheatre seating capacity for all this great show to be given, under the auspices of the Richmond saloon keepers; it Is for the purpose of proving to the people just what our business has done for Richmond the last five years. The actors are real men, women, boys, girls and litttle children having been effected directly or Indirectly by our business, the scenes and places are real; we promise to show every act, word or thought, good, bad, or indifferent, caused by our wares. Acted out by our great actors, there will be the greatest picture shown that you have ever seen, two great scenes to portray thoughts only; on one will be shown all of the evil, secret thoughts, caused by liquor we have sold, on the other will be shown every thought, good or bad; the happy, the sad, all true to life, that have been caused by or because of our business. These pictures will portray the mental side only, the happiness, the joy and peace of mind and all satisfaction, also the heartaches, agony, worry, and distress of mind caused by our business. Our great company of actors will go through the performance of all they have done the Inst five vears rr the results or ef fects of our business. Every act car-j ried out as if it really had been lived. This will be the best show of your life time; here you will find the jolly good fellow, a great many humorous features, if you want a good hearty laugh or a cry. Come everybody; you will set your money's worth. Show to begin March 16, at 6 o'clock ; a. m. It will last until all acts and ; thoughts have been reproduced true to life, caused by our business. Managers. Richmond sa'oon keepers, how long do you think the city officials would allow that show to run out in plain view of all the people. I believe the saloon keepers themselves would stop it if their sons and daughters were there in a mixed crowd to see their own show. If it could be possible and the saloon keepers would give this show as advertised in this little supposed play, and everyone would go to the show, Richmond would vote dry by so large amajority we would never need to hold another wet and dry election. MRS. H. R. LANDIS. Rural Route 4, Richmond, Ind. DR. THURSTON'S VIEWS. Editor Palladium: Permit space to relate briefly as possible some personal experience with the marvelously well regulated licensed saloons of Richmond, whom, if we are to believe 3 per cent of Mr. Gordon's hoary headed philosophy, will soon be holding Sunday school and Bible classes in their back rooms. That noble little manly man, Rev. Huntington, formerly pastor of tho Episcopal church, and "decayed me", once undertook what we in our enthusiasm conceived to be an easy tabfe, to reform all the drunkards in Rich mond; and I am now morally certain that we would bave been successful, had Richmond gone dry at its prohibition election. Several of their fines were paid, and the prisoners who were confined for public intoxication were taken out of jaii, cleaned up, given good clothing and good, paying employment procured for them. Will you believe it, Mr. Editor, that in the over 25 years that the writer has lived in Richmond, and never been inaide of a saloon, yet has put as much money into saloon tills as the average so-called "respectable" saloon patron! And this in an honest earnest effort to uplift men from out the terrible degraded filth disease known to th medical profession as Ethyl Hydrate Narcomania, popularily called "booze fight." f will here give only one case, and if permitted space, will in other corn-

munlcations, give case at a time so as not to take up space that must be given to Mr. Gordon's mountainous array of adamantine facts(?). , Case No. 1. Joseph Dority, uncertain' age, probably 45; came from Pittsburg with a number of men brought here by the Pennsylvania Railroad company to work on their doable track construction to Indianapolis. After some four of five months of hard work, came to the city one Saturday afternoon with $65 carefully saved wages; came to himself the next Tuesday night in jail penniless and clothed in rags, instead of a new suit that he had bought the firBt thing on coming to town. Rev. Huntington, who bad been doing missionary work among some 30 prisoners, at the jail, asked me to go see Dority. Found the man penitent, of course; liked his general appearance and talk; told him that 30 days in jail would give time to get the Ethyl Hydrate poison out of his hide, after which if he would come to my office, would give him employment. Our theory was, and still is, that Alcoholic Narcomania, a form of insanity, is as much a disease as typhoid fever, diphtheria, smallpox, or any other infectious disease. That Ethyl Hydrate infection is primarily a disease of nutrition; ' very rarely while " drinking freely, the victim eats much, if any at all. I have had men tell me that on a prolonged spree they had gone for two weeks without food, except so-called alcohol "food." How delightfully they lived, only one who has tried it knows after struggling out of such "good" living fighting millions of rats, snakes and numerous other menageries. So, as we can prove, nutritious feeding is a sure cure for Ethyl Hydrate or "alcoholic narcomania. We procured good boarding, and every morning gave him a bowl of hot Horlick's Malted milk, regulated his diet, etc. For over a year I could not desire a better man to do any kind of work he was asked to do; he was often given money and sent to the grocery, to market, to the drug store, and other places, to make purchases the cost of which was not exactly known to us until he returned with a receipt and every penny of change. At $10 per week, Joe had saved about $250, after boarding and clothing himself very respectably. But alas! In an unguarded moment, as Mr. Gordon says, "on the sly, just to show he was game," Joe was induced by a "good fellow", whom the saloonist keeps "good and wet", to go into' one of Mr. Gordon's perfectly regulated licensed saloons, who did not yet have a Sunday school and Bible class in the back room, and he fell; his i r; liberty" took a sudden boom, and he took "personal" liberty of entering the back yard of a colored lady and appropriated a cloak, for which the court wickedly took the "personal liberty" to sentence Joe to the penitentiary for from one to eight years. He was given work in the kitchen and dining hall, and after a year, given a parole for good behavior and industry; a good place with a man living near Farmland, Ind., was procured for him, and for up to within three months, of expiration of his parole when he would be free, "personal lberty" asserted itself as follows: In our correspondence, I had frequently warned Joe to stick to his job and not come back to Richmond while it was "wet", or he would fall again. But one day Joe stepped into my office with a broad grin, saying, "Doctor, I just could not bear to stay away from you any longer, you have been so good to me, I just wanted to shake your hand once more." It was Saturday afternoon; we urged him to not stay over Sunday, said he would go right back. I sent him to the Rail Road store with an order for a new suit of clothes, which he got and went back as I wanted him to do; two weeks after, a clipping from a Muncie paper, which city had just gone "wet" informed me that Joe Dority, while intoxicated, had stolen some clothes, and was returned to the penitentiary where he is now serving the full term of eight years. In this deal, I probably contributed five hundred dollars to Richmond's "perfectly regulated, licensed saloons" that have not yet got Sunday schools and Bible classes in the back room. In my next, will give the story of Billy McGee. Will plead guilty, Mr. Editor, to being "easily worked", but Mr. Gordon, or no one else, can longer work the "perfectly regulated licensed Sunday school saloon" racket on me. JOSEPH M. THURSTON.

MRS. B. EDITH AILEEN HUME LESLIE-MELVILLE. That King George himself was responsible for the pressure brought to bear on Broderick Leslie-Melville, the wealthy banker in inducing him to drop his suit for divorce against his wife, Mrs. B. Edith Aileen Hume Leslie-Melville, is the generally expressed opinion here in London. Earl Fitzwilliam, King George's favorite courtier, had been named as corespondent In the case, a fact that caused a sensation in court circles, and deeply shocked the King and Queen. Earl Fitzwilliam indignantly denied the charges as set forth by the plaintiff and insisted that the case be continued to the end. He declared that the suit was little short of a blackmailing scheme, as counsel for one of the parties had suggested that the whole affair could be amicibly settled out of court if he would settle $350,000 upon Mrs. Leslle-M?lville.

Twelve Mausers, 600 Cartridges Imported Into City From Germany

Twelve MauBer rifles, Model 71, all in perfect condition; twelve bayonets, bright as when they emerged from the factory; six hundred cartrigdes, all intended for men who learned to handle weapons under the greatest military system in Europe, were quietly imI ported into Richmond yesterday in a dox nnea wun zinc, ana resemDimg a coffin. Pennsylvania railroad officials who reecived the consignment were ignorant of the contents of the oblong box, and the drayman who delivered it to its destination did not know what he was transporting. The guns carry at 1,600 meters and kill at that distance. Military drill with the Mausers will begin at once. Men who formerly used the weapons in bloody European wars, handled the rifles with affection today, and recalled the battles when, with bayonet fixed they charged the enemy or repulsed the attack. The arms came direct from the imperial German military depot at Spandau, and were directed to William Duning, secretary of the Militaerverein of this city. Co-incident with their arrival was the general order of the head of the local branch that military drill be resumed at once. All members of the local branch, thirty or more, used this style of weapon in the wars which Germany waged a few decades ago. Manv of them ; learned the German military dri'.l with this model. They are all familiar with it3 mechanism, and the boast was freely made that none of them had lost his cunning as marksmen. i and could shoot as true and deadly as j they did years ago.

was captain in the days when he was a crown prince, asked the emperor for the arms when he was in Germany recently. The local Militaerverein was the last organization to receive a consignment of the rifles. Societies in German and the United States have been refused requests for the model. This is regarded as a distinct compliment to the local organization. The first display of the arms by the old soldiers of the emperor will be made March 22, when the Militaerverein celebrates the birthday anniversary of Emperor William I, father of the present rules. Almost all members of the Richmond society served under him. Accompanying the rifles was the appended letter from G.

BLIND TIGER" IS SALOOHjFFSPRIIIG (Continued from Page 1.) tiger yet the saloon people lay the blind tiger at the door of the temperance forces. "The saloon keepers say that the liquor traffic is a mean business but they are going to sell the stuff even if the laws are violated. When a man begins talking that be is going to sell a thing when the laws say he should not sell, then I begin to watch out for that man and put him down as a grafter. "I suppose the saloon forces will try to fill your bead with thoughts that if you put your 56 saloons out of business that your taxes will be increased. To get a man's pocketbook is one way to get a grip upon him, so this talk of increasing taxes ensnares a few. "The man who will take money for his vote is, in my eyes, a grafter and I expect you would take the same view But there are people who wouldn't take the money but if you told them that there would be $6 deposited to their credit In taxes at the courthouse he would vote to retain the saloons. "The high cost of living I think, is because there are too many people engaged in the distribution of products and not enough in the production. For instance, your grocery boy comes early in the morning and takes your order, a few hours later a man with a wagon delivers the goods and when you pay for the groceries you have to pay for the salary of the grocery boy, the delivery men and the upkeep of the horse. Now if you could eliminate those distributors and carry the groceries home, the prices might come down. Put the grocer boy and the delivery man and his outfit on the line of production and that would help a little in solving the high cost of living problems. "The brewers and saloonist s are harping personal liberty. Do you think you would tolerate a burglar in your home? No! But don't you know that the saloon might come and take one of your sons, or your daughters because it must have the young people in order to sustain business. "You wouldn't want- your daughter to marry a drunken young fellow and you mothers know the aches of a disappointed heart. What I want you to do is to work among your husbands and have them to go to the polls and say "Stop j Thief" and vote the saloon business out of Richmond. ! The Y. M. C. A.
