Wet and Dry Communications

Editor'a Note TfMs space is reserved for communications on the local option election. All letters must bear the name and address of the writers. Contributions -will appear in the order received. To My Colored Brethren and All My White Brethren We colored people do not own the saloons of Richmond but M saloons have robbed our homes, our wives and children. "We have not bought homes like old southerners who have reaHzed what emancipation proclamation means. As long as we have been free some of us have not got a tin bucket because nearly all of us go above our means. Now is the time for us to cry aloud in this delightful city of Richmond. If the voters will make it go dry let us put the fire out on top of the saloons and burn them up before the keepers at the saloon and all men that want them. If we are God's children and do things for God and his son, Jesus, that we vmen may see a vision right now and on the twentyfourth of March that this delightful city of Richmond may go dry. Mr. Nicholson may rest assiured we colored people are going to vote right and that means dry. We do not treat each other right in our right mind and if the saloons stay here two more years the colored man will not speak to the colored man because the man that drinks whiskey and beer doesn't know no body but the devil. I have a -wife and two children, a boy and a girl and I would rather for them to pass a blind tiger than to pass a tiger with his eyes open. I am for the drys if I have to die with my shoes on my feet and leave my wife and two little children in the hgnd of God and his son Jesus. He has taken care of ma for thirty-seven years. T have nevpr bought any whiskey or beer in my life. If we stand for the wets then they will have to add on to the jail and the asylum buildings. Mine is ti.e only colored family in Earlham Heights. If I was the only colored man in the state of Indiana I would vote dry. My little boy, fifteen years old, said to me 'Father can I vote for the dry, for if my vote will do any good I want to cast in my vote. My hoy sees the disaster in other homes. destroying sons and daughters of Richmond and the entire churches are almost destroyed through the saloons. 1 want every body to know that I stand for the right. The nineteenth chapter of Act and the eighteenth verse, "Many that believed came and confessed and showed their deeds." Christians if we have ever made a confession to Jesus show your deeds and if we show our deeds the sir.ers will follow yours in Christ. REV. E. W. MILES, Earlham Heights, City of Richmond. Milton, Ind., Mafch 13, 1914. The Richmond Palladium: An enormous amount of liquor must be consumed in Richmond for it takes the entire time of from 100 to 150 men to wait on the customers of the C6 saloons of the city. Where did all these people learn to drink? Mr. Gordon says not in saloons Oh, no they learned to drink in blind tigers. But where are all these blind tigers? Who is running them? Mr. Gordon cays "The most notorious blind tiger this city (Richmond) ever knew was run by a hotel proprietor who also ran a saloon in connection with his hotel. In his saloon, which was unlar the law, he didn't permit minors, he didn't permit girls or women, he didn't permit selling after hours on Sunday. But in the blind tiger he 3 1 . f . . - .j ..

tigers are run by saloon keepers and bartenders in wet territory and by exsnToon keepers and bar tenders in dry territory almost without axception where the law is not enforced. People far. to drink in the Richmond saloons or they learn to drink in Richmond blind tigers for even Mr. Gordon would hardly claim that the people of Richmond go to dry territory to learn to drink and later become patrons of the Richmond saloons. Mr. Gordon says that if Richmond votes dry the city will "vote in its t liquor's) unrestricted, unregulated sale by the most vicious class of Fcoundrels who ever ruined boys or dpbauched girls." Is that a threat of tiie liquor interests? If Richmond votes dry March 24th the chances are 1 n to one that the only people who will attempt to run blind tigers will be ex-saloon keepers and bartenders. Don't let anyone be scared by the veiled threat of the liquor inetrests to trample the laws under foot, debauch our boys in shameful and brutal fashion and carry things with a high hand generally if the city goes dry. The mayor has promised to enforce the law and he will keep his word. Saloon keepers make big profits end should treat their patrons better than they do. The patrons have to work hard for the money they shove over the bar while the saloon keeper has a comparatively easy time of it, often having money to spend for luxuries that most of his patrons cannot afford. When a patron has drunk fo much liquor that he is weak and helples.s the saloon keeper should take care of him until he is sobered up and not permit him in his helpless condition to wander out on the street to be arrested and fined or imCASCARETS" RELIEVE SICK, SOUR STOMACH Move Acid, Gases and Clogged Waste From Liver Bowels.

prisoned. The saloon keeper took his money when he was strong. It is dishonorable to desert him when he is weak. The saloon keeper should take the drunk man to his home, stay with him through the night, defend the wife and helpless, terror stricken children if the drunkard gets abusive. He should buy food, clothing and fuel for the family if these things are needed for he has the drunk man'i wages in his pocket. On bitter cold nights saloon keepers should not per

mit arunn men to stagger out or tneir saloons without making sure that they will every one have a warm, comfortable place to sober up in. Recently, on a very cold night, when I was coming home from Cambridge City on the street car, I saw Joe Manlove standing in the deep snow beside the track. Mr. Gordon has had some very ugly flings for church members. Well, Joe Manlove is an elder in the church. He is getting old and is not in good health, but there he was out in the cold standing beside a poor, drunk fellow who was half frozen. He stopped the car and had the poor fellow taken on. Did the saloon keeper treat this patron right? Dr. Keramer, for years a successful veterinary surgeon in Cambridge City died last year in that town. His father was a good man kind hearted and highly respected. He owned a fine farm. Dr. Kemmer became a patron of the "well regulated" Cambridge City saloons. After a few years of this his devoted wife died leaving him with two children. At 33 he was peniless. The last two years of his life he lived in abject poverty. He died at the age of 35 in a filthy hovel. A few of us attended the funeral services at Wright's undertaking establishment and went with the broken hearted father to Bentonville, ten miles away, to bury the body. Dr. Kemmer was a brilliant, friendly, companiable fellow. He had been chumming with the Cambridge City saloon keepers and bartenders for years yet not one of them attended his funeral or stood by him in his distress. Talk about putting the saloon keepers out of business! They put other people out of business. That's what they do for a living. Why is it considered such a hardship for the Richmond saloon keeper to have to get out and make a decent, honest living like anybody else? Respectfully, F. C. M CORMICK, Pastor Milton Christian church. THURSTON'S OPINION. Editor Palladium and Sun-Telegram: In the relations of these sad personal experiences endeavoring to treat and cure that dread disease Ethyl Hydrate or alcoholic Narcomania, I should have commenced over twentyfive years back; so, in place of the case intended for this article, permit space to "tell it to you now," my sad experience with Will Hindman, one of those whole-souled fellows. and free hearted to a fault, exactly i the kind of "raw material" that yields j the most "finished product" of Ben. j nett. Gordon's sole protector of our i boys and girls from the devouring jaws of a sightless tiger, who. when Richmond goes dry. as she surelv will. unerringly seek out. and destroy the youth and beauty of our city. Now this is a large installment of "FACTS", for anybody ought to know that when the "perfectly regulated saloon" quits business at the milk end of our great Ethyl Hydrate industry, "there will be no more school funds." and all the children will be gnashing of teeth, those that haven't teeth will please "gum it": for we must have gnashing, you know, when ; the saloons go out, which they surely will. Thirty years ago, Will Hindman was an industrious, thrifty farmer living two miles northwest of Hagerstown. Ind. Their only child, a beautiful girl of five, sickened and died; Will drowned his sorrow in a "well regulated saloon" instead of a Gordonsightless -tiger. About three months after locating in Richmond. Will came to me, shabby and hunting work, i His farm had been sold for debt. His ! wife had gotten a divorce, and Will '. was down and thoroughly out. A j vacant room upstairs in the office was I furnished, good and nutritious diet, i and Will was soon hannv and content-1 cd. He kept the office as neat and clean as any woman could; he was the soul of honor and thoroughly trustworthy and sober. He remained so for nearly two years, when he fell. One of those "good wot fellows." agents and solicitors for Mr. Gordon's wonderfully well regulated licensed saloons, induced his weak brother to "confiscate." For over a year I worked to redeem him, many times

finding him drunk In the alley and carried him to bed and cared for him until sober, when he would plead with me to "knock me in the head. Doctor, If you ever know of me touching another drop." Finally I had to surrender to Mr. Gordon's "well regulated, licensed saloon" and send William away to the country where it was hoped . he might recover if removed from the temptation of Mr. Gordon's ermine-clothed saloon. He took pneumonia, and his vital resistence had been so lowered by Mr. Gordon's highly moral saloons that he died promptly. Can any "wet" brother blame us for enlisting in this flght for "three years or during the war?" JOSEPH M. THURSTON.

GORDON'S "FACTS" DISPROVED. In the afternoon papers of Monday, March 9, Mr. J. Bennett Gordon has the following: "Kansas City, Kansas, assesses its property at 100 per cent of the actual valuation, which is the maximum assessment any city can make. Its tax rate is $1.64. Kansas City, Missouri, assesses its property at 40 per cent of its valuation, yet its tax rate is only $1.26. How is that explained?" It seems impossible to get his facts straight, and the statement above quoted is on a par with his absolutely statement that I am on the pay roll of the Anti-Saloon League. The facts are as shown by statements from the city and county officers of Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, under date of March 12, 1914, that the city tax rate of Kansas City, Kansas, is only 67.6 cents on the $100, and of Kansas City, Missouri. $1.25 on the $100. The $1.64 rate which Mr. Gordon assigns to Kansas City, Kansas, is the full rate for school tax, county, tax, state tax and city tax. The full rate of the school tax, county tax, state tax and city tax of Kansas City, Misrouri, is $3.05. Mr. Gordon has compared the $1.25 city tax in Kansas City, Missouri, with the $1.64, which is the entire school, county, state and city tax of Kansas City, Kansas. Ife further says that Kansas City, Kansas, assesses its property aj; 100 per cent of the actual valuation. Governor George H. Hodges, who is the present governor of Kansas, said in an address only a few weeks ago: "We have $3,000,000,000 worth of property on the tax roll, assessed at not to exceed 70 per cent of the actual cash value of our resources." Attorney General Dawson, of Kansas, says that the first year after the saloons were effectively suppressed in Kansas City, Kansas, the cost of criminal prosecution, which the public had to bear fell off $25,000. Another sav ing of $25,000 was effected by the reduction of the police force. It is not so wonderful that Kansas City, Kansas can have a lower city tax rate as compared with her wet sister city across the river. S. EDGAR NICHOLSON. At the tabernacle Sunday

I believe you would find that a good reference ' librarian would solve many of the problems with which you are now wrestling. "I believe that next to a reference librarian you need a special department equipped to serve your business and working men. I should recom mend that this be placed in charge f a trained man, who can at the same time belp manage your extension ; ork. He would find it possible to eain the co-operation of your factories and your professional classes and would . be worth thousands of dollars to tne community every year, through the services he would be able to ren-; der to your city administration. That the children's library should 1 be moved from the third to the second floor was also recommended.

But I would suggest that you place your magazines around the two pillars in the middle of the maca zine room and build book ' stacks around the wall. You could put 500O of the volumes most often called for in these shelves and thus avoid having the aisles crowded in the stack rooms. These stacks could be open to anybody but inasmuch as the books mst often called for would be out in the reference room, you would never have very many people at one time inyour present stack rooms 7,X find a well arranged analytical card index in your library work room, This will be much more useful than the card index you now have open to the public and should be placed on the reference librarian's desk.

a student to find these scattered portions devoted to the subject. In .which he is interested. , Helps Business Man. "Then, of course, one of the main things is your extension work. Quite a number of up-to-date libraries with which I am familiar have installed a very useful telephone service. The telephone is kept at the reference librarian's desk and any business man, who desires information on any subject whatever, needs only to call her up and put his question. In a few moments with ber facilities at hand, she can telephone him the information he is asking. "Of course it goes without saying that it will be well for you to install book depots in your schools and in some of your factories. If you succeed in establishing social centers in your schools, and I understand a movement Is now under way for that purpose, you will find the opened school houses ideal library branches. It would also

be easy to arrange to have deposits of books made in a few of your largest factories, ail of these book deposits being under the charge of your municipal librarian, of whom I spoke before. "I am glad to report that I find you have, in the main, a very excellent collection of books. It may be a bit heavy in some special lines, art, for instance, and it is somewhat weak in the science departments and along sociological lines, but as a whole your selection is most creditable indeed. If you can make this more available to the people and get them to make better use of it, you will certainly have performed a great service to your city. "It is also a pleasure to say that I find your expenditures are perfectnormal. Vii mo 1 ntan n nra 1 cn aQd expenditures for bookg are n proportlolled. You do 1 , ..!. oHoQ tVl. h.h rn. ! would enable you to do. since your maintenance expenses will practically remain what they now are. Income Small. "Now it goes without saying, because you all understand it, that your greatest handicap is insufficient rev enue. Your library tax rate is far below the average. Only five or six i towns in Indiana, and they among the least progressive, even attempt to run a library with so little money in proportion as you. Even if you levied the tax permitted you by your i law, your proportionate income would I still be much less than that in very many cities in the state. The community cannot expect you to give it : the service that 1t is demanding un- ' less it gives you such financial supnort as is necessary to operate an efficient library." The library trustees expressed (themselves as being very well pleas- : ed with the plan of library develop- ; ment presented them by Mr. Sanborn. "Your suggestions appeal to i me." said W. H.
