INDIGNANT CITIZENS COMPLAItUHERVICE Eldorado Residents Hold Mass Meeting of Protest Against Phone Company. KLDORADO, Ohio, March 18 Since th telephone lines went down In the latter port of January, the patrons f the Eldorado and West Manchester Home Telephone Company have received only a partial service. The (own phones have never been out of operation, but very little country service could be had, and only one toll line has been In operation. The Telephone company decided that the own patrons should pay for full serrice, granting them no rebate, and Bpon the refusal to comply with the full amount, the telephone company rdered all such phones removed. As I result several were removed, and Ihere arose a protest, patrons claiming they were being unjustly treated. There followed a public meeting in he town council chamber, and resolutions were adopted, which requested that the telephone company accord these patrons just treatment nd grant them just rates in the matter. The company's loss was about E5.000. Manager Arens says toll lines nd country service will be evened is soon as possible. E. O. Mav and faniilv. of New Mad

Let the business and professional men and the taxpayers of Richmond watch these columns for the next several days. They will find accurate information showing the splendid effects of the dry policy upon various towns and cities. These facts are unanswerable, are presented by the leading citizens of these respective cities and completely annihilate every bit of sophistry about the blind tiger bugaboo and the conditions which follow the elimination of the saloon. TESTIMONIALS FROM CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA. The following testimony from Crawfordsville, Indiana, comes from leading citizens of that city. In fact, they are from the highest grade men, and their testimony must be believed as against the man who comes to our city and endeavors to scare our people by the bugaboo of lawlessness. Note what they say about the effects of voting the saloon out in that city. CRAWFORDSVILLE WIRE AND NAIL CO. Crawfordsville, Ind., March 12, 1914. Dear Sir We have your favor of the 11th at hand, and beg to advise that our city has been in the dry .column for the last three or four years, and we believe that any city is much better off by not having saloons. ' WeTiad some twenty to twenty-two saloons, and when they were voted out people were wondering if the vacant rooms would ever be taken. However, they were withyi a very short time after they were vacated, and they were taken up by other lines of business. From our standpoint we might say that the production in our mill increased at least ten to fifteen per cent within a couple of weeks after the saloons were out. This we attributed to the fact that the men were in shape to start in work on Monday mornings, and had had a full day's rest. The home life is considerably improved and we can not see where saloons were any benefit to any one outside of the men engaged in the business.. Yours truly, CRAWFORDSVILLE WIRE AND NAIL CO., C. D. Voris, General Manager.

LAW EDITORIAL ROOMS. Emerson E. Ballard. Crawfordsville, Ind., March 12, 1914. My Dear Mr. Nicholson Supplementing my recent letter concerning figures in Crawfordsville, I beg to submit the following: Saloons were first voted out of Crawfordsville under the County Local Option election on March 23, 1909. At that time

i there were nineteen saloons in the city of Crawfordsville, and the I last saloon went out of operation about the first of November, j 1909. The sworn figures given by the cashiers of our four banks ! are as follows :

Increase during "dry" years $ 667,765.08 The tax levy made by the city council in August, 1909, was

$1.21 on each one hundred dollars, which was precisely what the tax levy was in August, 1908, one year previous. This tax levy remained the same until August. 1913, when it was reduced to $1.18 on each one hundred dollars. Crawfordsville has had a remarkable growth in the last four years, and has been generous in the matter of public improvements, but at no time has the tax rate been increased, but in fact, it has been decreased as stated above. On January 13, 1908, when we had nineteen or more saloons running full blast in Crawfordsville, there were twenty-six children in the Orphans' Home of Montgomery County. On June 30, 1913, there were twelve children in said Orphans' Home. Within the last two years we have raised out of our own money $100,000 to build a new Y. M. C. A. building, and $75,000 to establish a new furniture factory. The above figures are absolutely reliable. Sincerely yours, EMERSON E. BALLARD.

CRAWFORDSVILLE HARDWARE CO. Crawfordsville, Ind., March 12, 1914. Dear Sir In regard to business conditions, will say that I am in the hardware business here, and the next year after the saloons were voted out we had the best year's business we had ever enjoyed, and general business conditions have been good in Crawfordsville ever since. There were twenty-two saloons here, and the room formerly occupied by saloons are all rented, and there are no vacant rooms in Crawfordsville. The tax, rate instead of being increased, has been reduced a small amount; that is, the levy has been reduced for the fund into which the saloon license fee was formerly paid. Taxes have been increased here in some departments, as I presume they have almost all over Indiana on account of constructing so many gravel roads under the three-mile-road law. The business men are all well satisfied with a saloonless town. When we had our first election a good many of the business men were afraid it would injure the town, if the saloons were voted out, but when we had our last election there was only one business man in town of any consequence that took the side of the saloons. Of course moral conditions are very much better, we have very little drunkenness, not very many poor that require the assistance

of the public, and our school children go to school very much better dressed than when we had saloons.

The business men of Crawfordsville have no derive to haare

the saloons returned, and it is my belief that we will never ee

another open saloon in the city of Crawfordsville.

With best wishes for your success in the campaign, I remain Yours respectfully, aJOT'- ByW.A. MOO & FACTS ABOUT THE DRUG STORE LAW. T r ' We have asked Mr. R. C. Minton, Esq., of Indianapolis, Ind., to state the drug store law of Indiana in so far as it is applicable

to intoxicating liquors. He probably knows more about the mean

ing and application of the liquor laws of Indiana than any ether lawyer in the state. His statement is as follows: One of the most glaring false statements of the many that Gordon is making, is the following: "Whisky is the stock that is sold in the whisky drug stores, because the Anti-Saloon lawmakers always very kindly exempt whisky when they define medicinal drinks that drug stores must sell." He does know, or should know, that there is absolutely ne foundation for such a statement. The drug stores in this state are not permitted to sell any kind of intoxicating liquor for beverage purposes. The law is very strict in its requirements that the only liquor sold by them shall be for medicinal or scientific purposes. In a recent decision of the Supreme Court in Ryan vs State, 124 Ind., 468, Judge Monks, speaking for the Court, holds that every sale of intoxicating liquors in a drug store is prima facie an unlawful sale. The court says:

by a druggist be lawful under the requirements of Section 8352, Burns, 1908, the sale must be in a quantity not less than a quart at a time for medicinal, industrial or scientific purposes and for no other purposes, and then only upon the written prescription of a reputable physician in active practice or upon the written and signed application of a person who is by him known not to be in the habit of using intoxicating liquors as a beverage, and such person must state in such application for which one of such purposes (whether medicinal, scientific or educational) the liquor is desired, and that it will be used for that purpose only. This statement must be written, not printed or typewritten. If the sale is made upon the prescription of a physician, it must be for medicinal purposes only, and the prescription must be plainly written, dated and signed by the physician in his or her full and correct name. If the sale is made upon said written and signed application, it must be for one of the purposes mentioned. Only one

sale can be made on such prescription or application, and in no case shall any liquor be permitted by such druggist or pharmacist to be drunk on the premises where sold. Unless all these requirements as to a sale by prescription

or a sale on written application are complied with, the

sale by a druggist or pharmacist is unlawful. It will be noted that a druggist is not permitted to sell beer

in any quantities, because it is not recognized as having a medicinal use. The law further provides that when a druggist is convicted of selling intoxicating liquors in violation of law, he

shall not have the right to handle or keep liquor for any purpose

thereafter for two years, and upon second conviction, his license as a pharmacist shall be revoked. These are stringent provisions and can be and are being enforced in most parts of the state. Ifrwill certainly be stretching the credulity of the people too much for

them to believe that the only law-abiding citizens of Richmond are the saloon keepers. I expect that the druggist of Richmond is as clean and law-abidnig as the saloonist. The law is plain enough, the restrictions are vigorous enough to prevent all sales of liquor for beverage purposes from the drug stores.

THAT BLIND TIGER BUGABOO AGAIN. When the saloon writer in our midst continues to play-up tfie

blind tiger bugaboo it must not be forgotten that he is talking about his own folks. We mean, of course, the folks which he rep

resents the liquor interests. Saloons and blind tigers are not two separate classes of institutions. They belong to one and the same class, and they represent the same crowd of distillers and brewers, who are continually saying to the public, "We prefer to sell our products through the licensed saloon, but if you won't grant us the privilege, we are going to sell it anyway." That is the sum and substance of this entire blind tiger bugaboo. Who are these people anyway whom this writer for the liquor cause has hid away, ready to prey upon the Richmond public through a wave of lawlessness, the moment Richmond goes dry? If they exist at all they are a part of this same liquor crowd whom the drys are determined to put out of business in Richmond. They are either the agents of some brewery or distillery employed to break the laws of the city and state, or they are saloon advocates, whom the brewers and distillers expect to supply with liquor to ply their nefarious trade in our city. The people of Richmond, however, are on the job, and will have none of the blind tigers any more than the saloon, and they will back our officers to the very limit in suppressing one just as the people are going to suppress the other;
