ANOTHER VIEW. Richmond, Ind., 3, 11 '14. Editor Palladium: Because a boy wonderously dear to my heart has expressed a wish that our home should be represented in the arguments for the "dry" side of the present burning question of the day I am constrained to add my mite of observations, gleaned here and there. Incidentally my mind goes back to the ending of the last campaign of the kind when a boy about the age of my boy is now, ran wildly down the street shouting exultantly 'Wet! Wet! Wet!" Happy mother am I. But God pitty that other mother. I wonder where her boy is tonight? I wonder if voters remember that the "Wet" element promised us last time that if Wayne county were voted dry the tax rate would be raised. And I wonder if the tax payers remember that soon after Wayne was voted wet the tax rate was raised any way? I wonder why? We had no especial advantages from the raise in rate. We are going to have a nicely bricked street near our property which is to come under the head of the road law. What would the public think of our quality of gray matter if we objected to this improvement to our property on the score of its raisins the tax rate? If the tax rate should be raised because Richmond should be voted dry, we think the advantage would be worth the increased ratf and any way we would get it back along other lines. For instance, perhaps our grocery bills would be smaller if the merchant were not compelled to charge us up with the bills they lose from men who spend their earnings for drink. And any way the majority of those who fall a victim to the desperate fear of. increased tax really pay no tax directly. In fact many of these tremblers who vote wet from this fear have no properties to be taxed. The article in last night's Palladium which made the assertion that the saloon keepers were not violates of the law has been refuted twice within the last twenty-four hours to my certain knowledge, though I can not name the violators. Like the "cbinnern" in a poem I read, "I dunno who done it. but somebody did." Instance One At four o'clock this morning a country relative of mine was routed out of bed by the dog disputing the right of two fellows to enter the barn. My relative brought them in to the fire and discovered that they had come to Richmond from a little village a few miles away and. getting on a very cheap drunk, could not seem to get home. And one of these was only eighteen years old. Instance Two My young son was going up the street with a messenger boy who grew very short, of breath and gave as the reason that he had been drinking whiskey which statement was borne out by the fact that it was on his breath. The messenger made the assertion that when he entered saloons (as all know a messenger can do) he could buy drinks when ever he wanted to. Mr. Gordon said the saloons didn't get the beginner, though there has been no noticable dropping off in the use of liqwior among respectable(?) young men since the saloons were so well regulated. He asserted that if the saloons wiere voted out that the

Mind tiger and boot legging concerns would flourish. And yet a moment before he had asserted that with the saloon here, we had them. Did he forget that? And also, who is going to start the blind tigers in place of the present saloons? Not these law abiding saloon keepers, surely. For shame, Bennet, to insult these honorable men whose cash pays your salary. If not these men, then who? It there are men with the cash to spare who would be willing to operate an illegal joint, why don't they do it anx way? There is money in it, doubtless, and according to J. Bennet it would catch all the young boys and girls who had a little ready money, and catch a market not yet covered by the regulated saloon. What happened to the man who blew hot - and cold out of the same mouth? GERTRUDE THOMAS, 1007 North 16th 8t., City.

WORD TO RICHMOND PUBLIC. Twice this week in his advertisements in behalf of the saloons of Richmond. Mr. J. Bennett Gordon has charged that I am receiving money for the time which I am devoting to the present local option campaign. In Thursday evening's issue he refers to me as a paid official of the AntiSaloon League. I hereby brand the statements as absolutely false. I am not a paid official of the league or of any other temperance organization, and am not receiving and will not receive a cent of money for anything I am doing in behalf of this effort to get the saloons out of Richmond. I receive no salary or pay whatever for any work except as editor and manager of The American Friend, although I am giving the bulk of my time and of the work of my office temporarily to this local option campaign, as many other men in the city are doing. Mr. Gordon has simply made a reckless statement, the accuracy of which could have been easily disposed by the use of a postage stamp. It is this same recklessness that is characterizing his whole advertising campaign, and tends as do a good many other of his statements, to throw discredit upon all. While it has nothing to do with the case, it may be. well to say that this campaign is not being waged by the Anti-Saloon League, but has been planned and financed wholly by Richmond people. S. E. NICHOLSON.

oritiea and furnished them with my signature to the chairman of the committee. But" he said he was afraid to use them as It would make Gordon more vindictive. I replied he had already reached his limit. In the article above referred to in Wednesday's papers, is this assertion concerning the Anti-Saloon League: "This great organisation of paid agitators and attorneys will not make public where it gets its enormous funds xx x x It has been asked to make public its receipts but it wouldn't. It has been openly and categorically oharged, that the "Whiskey Ring" is financing the AntiSaloon League and no evidence Is submitted to disprove it." The latter part of this charge Is so utterly and glaringly foolish and so unmeasurably absurd as to be unworthy of notice. As to the former I have this to say, The Indiana AntiSaloon League of which I have -the honor to be president ever since its organization fifteen years ago has an annual meeting, usually in January, at which all the officers and committees make elaborate written reports which are read and carefully considered. The treasurer's report of receipts and disbursements is minutely itemized giving the sources of all receipts. Accompanying this report is that of public auditors not members of the league and both the treasurer's and the auditors reports are given to the public press. Very Respectfully, TIMOTHY NICHOLSON.

used, and means unfermented grape juice, then and now drunk as a beverage. If there was a wine that might be used as well as condemned, which would Christ and his Apostles be most likely to sanction? The wine that "maketh red the eyes", that "blteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder", that "decieveth", that "maketh drunken and mad"; or the wine that maketh glad the heart; that is good, a blessing. It is conceived there can be but one answer to this question, ladies, that every candid and reverent Christian must be forced to the conclusion that the wine which Jesus made at the marriage feast at Cana of Gallilee, and used in hiB last supper with his disciples, and which Paul advised Timothy to drink for his stomach's sake, was' the unfermented, innocuous and popular Tirosh. Therefore 'Yayin' is the one generally employed when wine is denounced, and 'Tirosh' when it is

This was the character of his daily editorials in the Item in the contest five years ago. He was responsible for deceiving many men then. If any of these are now deceived by like methods, it will be their own fault. I was not a member of the dry committee in that campaign, but I was so indignant at some of Bennett's assertions and shameful misrepresentations that to expose his sophisty and perversions I obtained facts written by unimpeachable auth-

At a union temperance meeting held Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Ross Robinson, 36 South Eleventh, street. Miss Gaynelle Frantz delivered the following address: I will endeavor to give , you ladies the best on this subject "Temperance" I am capable of, and hope it will prove interesting to you. A long time ago clubs were organized in different counties such as "The American Temperance Society," "The Youths' Temperance Society." "The British and Foreign Society", etc. Also papers were edited and published, "The Journal of Humanity", "Tetotallers" Companion." It made no difference what denomination, whether Catholic or Protestants, all joined and formed these clubs in order to do away with all intoxicating liquors. The clubs were widely known and practically did an enormous amount of good at that time. However this did not altogether prevent nor stop this evil influence and today the same question is unsettled. Today we have elections, where not only a few in clubs can have the right or be reached, but all men have equal right to vote. I want to put three points before you, ladies. The first one is to show you it is wrong through a scriptural standpoint: Second I will take up a physiological view, and third, the social standpoint. I say it is wrong by (1) Scriptural, (2) Physiological, (3) Social. First we have the Scriptural, for the only strong drink mentioned in the Bible is wine. It is both praised and blamed. Are the sacred writers referring in both cases to the same kinds of wine? It is found that ten or twelve different designations for wine are used, but the two by far the most frequent terms are "Yayin" and "Tirosh". The first "Yayin", is the generic term for wine. It must embrace fermented liquors. It is the word used when wine is denounced. It is a mocker (Prov. xx:l) "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceiveth thereby is not wise." (Prov. xxiii: 31-32) "Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright." When wine is praised, Tirosh is the word

This man was a hard drinker. They every man owes to his neighbor, and

whose homes may be made miserable by the use of liquor. You know what is right and to do away with such evil influence because God is on your side and whenever that Higher Power denounces evil and your conscience tells you it is wrong, stand firm on your decision and let God be your Judge.

However, I understand some of the ladies are preparing to visit the polls as a suggestion, I really think if you want to thoroughly disgust and sicken the men out, is to show too much

interest in them. They don't appreciate women if they show to much interest in them. Then let us bold on to that one main thing, good influence upon the men. I do not approve of women taking an active part in men's rights, so far as to canvass the city or go to the polls. I deem It your duty to do all the good you can, but without degrading the feminine sex. I think prayer for the right is the help needed.

IF

YOU HAD A NECK AS LONO AS THIS FELLOW AND HAD SORE THROAT

GO SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST. So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, wind, stomach-ache and inability to retain food, are in probably nine cases out of ten simply evidence that fermentation Is taking place in the food contents of the stomach f ausing the ood contents of the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acids. Wind distends the stomach, and causes that full, oppressive feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the fermenting food. Such fermentation is unnatural, and acid formation is not only unnatural, but may involve

i most serious consequences if not corI rected. To stop or prevent fermenta- ; tion of the food contents of the stomi ach and to neutralise the acid, and

render it bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, probably the best and most effective corrector of acid stomach known, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water immediately after eating, or whenever wind or acidity is felt. This stops the fermentation and neutralizes the aci"ty in a few mo

I ments. Fermentation, wind and acid

ity are dangerous ana unnecessary. Stop or prevent them by the use of a proper antacid, such as bisuratM magnesia, which can be obtained from any druggist and thus enable th stomach to do its work properly without being hindered by poisonous gas and dangerous acids. M. F. P.

It is useless, dangerous, and unnecessary to be tortured with the digging, twisting pains of backache and rheumatism, or suffer with disagreeable kidney aid bladder disorders any longer. The new discovery, Croxone, provides a remedy which every sufferer tan now depend upon to promptly and surely relieve all such misery and bring about a speedy cure. Croxone cures tliesf troubles be

cause it quickly overcomes the very!

cause of the disease. It foaks rieht into the stopped up, inactive kidneys, through the membranes and linings:

cleans out the little filtering glands; i neutralizes and dissolves the poison-1 ons uric acid nnd makes the kidneys j filter and sift from the l-irod all the j

vase and poisonous matter that clop 'he system and cause such troubles. It does not matter whether you have but slight symptoms or the most chronic, aggravated case of kill r.ey, bladder trouble, or rheumatism that it is possible to imagine, for th very principle of Croxone is such that it is practirally impossible to take it into the human system without results. You will find it different from all otbr remedies. There is nothing else on earth like it. It starts to work the irinute you take it. and relieves you the first time you use it, and all the misery and suffering that go with such troubles end. You can secure an original package of Croxone from any first clas druggist. All druggists are authorized to personally return the purchase price if it fails to give the desired results the very first time you use it. Advertisement
