CENTERVILLE, March 17. When the Centerville basketball team arrived from its trip to Bloomington, it was greeted with congratulations from jthe large crowd awaiting its return, basketball is Centerville's greatest winter recreation and the town was interested in its team. The team went to its fourth game land in man- ways made a remarkable 'showing. The line-up was not changed throughout the four games. This record stands alone. The scores were all close; 17 to 15, 15 to 14, 17 to6, 10 to 11. The team played on the defensive throughout the series, as was evidenced by the low scores, while Hort. made the most points, it was made possible by the assistance of the guards and the forwards, he was picked by several as one of the great centers. Every team they defeated except Bluffton, rooted vociferously for them. The Richmond team was rooting ' first, last, and all the time," for her more her more fortunate local rival "The Centerville Township Outfit." CELLARITES WIN 3 FROM LEADERS CITY LEAGUE STANDING. Won.

DRAPER WILL OPEN

Balmy spring weather yesterday caused many baseball fans to feel the symptoms of that disease usually so prevalent about this time each year, "baseballiti6." ltie now Just forty-one days before the Richmond club opens its season here, although Earlham and the high school nines will be in action before that time. Richmond's first regular game will be April 26, with Draper's Middleborough nine, that will have its training camp here. This game will be the first of a series of three games to be played with the Appalachian league organization. No other dates have been definitely set, although the schedule will be completed soon. Riohmond is contemplating entering the independent league that is being promoted by Indiana semi-pro nines. At a meeting to be held tonight or tomorrow some action will be taken in regard to joining this organization. The circuits would include Indianapolis, Kokpeno, iMuncie, Connersville, Anderson and Richmond. Kenney is satisfied with his present lineup. He says he has a battery equal to anything in independent sircles of the state, in Sauters and Novack. In Popkins, Seheppard and Curley, Kenney is well fixed for the infield. Merkle, McOann, Schnepker and Valtz will more than likely fill the garden positions. A WINTER COUGH A stubborn, annoying, depressing cough hangs on, racks the body, weakens the lungs, and often leads to serious results. The first dose of Dr. King's New Discovery gives relief. Henry D. Sanders, of Cavendish, Vt., was threatened with consumption after having pneumonia. He writes: "Dr. King's New DiscoveYy ought to be in every family; it is certainly the best of all medicines for coughs, colds or lung trouble." Good for children's coughs. Money back if not satisfied. Price 50c and $1.00. Recommended by A. G. Luken & Co.

REAGAN HAS PLENTY MATERIALjOR NINE Earlham Coach Gives Workout to Thirty-three Candidates for Team.

Earlham campus resembled a big league's spring training camp yesterday afternoon when thirty-three aspirants for the baseball team cavorted around in a really-for-sure workout. Coach Reagan is satisfied with the turnout and predicts a winning team for the Quaker institution this year. Every position has at least four candidates. Besides the last year's regulars many promising recruits from prep schools bid fair to put Earlham on the baseball map this spring. The only department that is causing some worry to the coach being the lack of a veteran pitcher. Reagan has a quartet of youngsters to work on, but feels the lack of an older man that has had experience at the j game. 1 Although Jerry Bogue seems to have the catching job nailed, Joe Leonard and Hubert Hodapp are back stop men of no mean ability. The pitching part of the battery will be taken care of by Little, Bakmeier, Davis and Wallace, the latter being the only vet of the quartet. A battle royal will issue when it comes to deciding the owner of the first sack. "Abe" Rowe and "Kus" Kemper have signified their intentions of securing this job, and fans who know the ability of both, think that Reagan will have a hard time deciding on the lucky party. Kemper has a larger reach than Rowe, but the latter has the advantage of having played on the team last year. It is not likely that anyone will dispute the claim of Ross Williams to the second base position. Ross has held down this section of the field for two oars and is likely to remain there, iierb Logan looks good for the short stop and handles himself like a veteran. Ed Cox, former Richmond high school man, ought to make a big bid for the third base point. McKinney and Bowen will cause him some trouble, as both have shown class in the early workouts. Outfield positions will be scarce. Stanley, Doggett and Fischer on last year's squad will try to retain their places against a host of good men. Hunt, Stout, White, Hutton and Hurst give promise of doing big things against the older men. After working the men for two hours, Reagan sent them on a jaunt around the campus. TO CH00SECAPTAIN Earlham Letter Men to Elect Basketball Leader. Who will lead the Earlham basketball warriors next year will be decided at a meeting of the letter men of the five tomorrow night. Five men are eligible for the choosing of the captain Rowe, Wolfe, Kemper, Lancaster and Williams. "Cy" Lancaster is the most likely man to receive the honor. Lancaster is a junior and has played on the team for two years. "Cy" has made the team by dint of hard plugging. Kemper and Logan are the other aspirants for the leadership.

creases the earning capacity of all who drink. The saloon makes many a man live in a poorer home, eat poorer food and wear poorer clothes. In states that have banished the saloon, fifty per cent more people own their own homes than in license states. STATEMENT BY NOTED LABOR LEADER. The following letter has been received from Mr. John B. Lennon, until recently the Treasurer of the American Federation of Labor and at present a member of the United States Commission on Industrial Relations: Washington, D. C, March 12, 1914. My Dear Sir I have your letter, and were I at home I could send you quite a large amount of printed matter, but not being there I will simply write a brief letter. As a labor man of more than forty years' experience, I have continually contested for a higher wage for the working people and naturally, to be consistent with my past record, I must be opposed to any business or any theory or philosophy that means a reduction of real wages. A- proper definition of "real wages" is that a man's wages are properly measured by what he does or can obtain for his earnings that are conducive

to his own welfare, the welfare of Just what I mean by real wages receives his pay on Saturday from it in his pocket but when he reaches

been lost and he has but $15. The real wage of the man for that week is $15, for this is ihe amount he has to spend for the necessities, the comforts and the luxuries of life. The same thing happens in effect when a man. after receiving his pay.

l"Wll a a ltd T4 nf if in o cat rrT AVhon

a real wage an amount less what was expended in the bar room, and how a union man can stand for the saloon, when it is the most potent factor in many of our cities for the reduction of real wages, is, to me incomprehensible. The influence of the saloon in the world is always and everywhere

against the accomplishment of every

stands. The saloon is never a promoter of education. Organized labor, however, is one of the strongest advocates of practical and efficient education. The liquor habit destroys a man's skill and this is the capital of the working man. It destroys his health and this is a necessity for the continuity of a life of industry. It besmirches our public life and substitutes government of the saloon for government of the people. I say again that there is no principle, not even one. for which the organized labor movement stands that the influence of the saloon is not an impediment against in the securing of their adoption. You are perfectly welcome to use this letter if you desire. Yours truly, JOHN" B. LENNOX. THE SALOON AND THE HOME. The saloon is the enemy of the home. There are hundreds of families right here in Richmond, where poverty reigns continually because the wages go for drink. In banishing the saloon, not only are the business men given a larger trade, but family life becomes happier and hundreds of homes are made more joyous. The following statement is from an address given by Miss Jessie S. Bradbury, a teacher in the Muncie schools under date of February 26, 1911, some months after the saloons had been closed in that city. The picture is not overdrawn and can find its counterpart in many homes in Richmond. "Do you really know what a thinly-clad child is? We do. Did you ever

know a six-year-old girl who wore no underwear, who wore only a thin calico dress, ragged hose and shoes, a ragged, light weight jacket and a veil on her head, who came into school crying with frozen toes, and who must be warm-' ed and fed and comforted before she could work? We have had such chil- j

aren in our nuuaing, ana tney wouia ten pitnui tales or tatner s money spent in the saloons in place of on his family, but I am thankful to say that we have had no such case this year. "Think of an eight-year-old boy who came into my room one morning a few years ago who had on no underwear nor overcoat, wore thin blue overalls, his shoes were so worn that the soles snapped as he walked. His foot was frosted and he had had nothing to eat for two days. Before he could work we sent to the restaurant for some sandwiches and milk for him. and he asked to save a part for lunch to take home to his little sisters. He was one of a large family of children and his father was drunk at the time. "I think of one family which the charities have always helped. The children were irregular at school, thinly-clad, ill kept, poorly fed. sullen, and would shrink from the teacher as if expecting a blow. One child, a girl, came into school after a short absence with her face discolored by a blow from her drunken father. While Mr. Street was truant officer he reported to me that he found this girl's mother on the floor of her home in a drunken stupor. Now we have no happier children in our school than from this family. They are neatly clothed and more regular in attendance. "This year we have found no case of want or suffering due to drunkenness in the home. Since the parents are sober, the children walk with a new confidence born of self-respect, since they are clean and wear whole clothes like other children. "The teachers feel that a very conservative estimate would be that the suffering and destitution among children In our district is lessened one-half or more since the saloons are out of business. THE SALOON AND DISEASE. A convincing argument in favor of temperance is found in the annual report of the managers of the Allegheney County Workhouse and Inebriate Asylum just published, showing that about 90 per cent of the 3,798 prisoners committed to that penal institution during last year were either habitual drunkards or moderate users of alcoholic beverages. It is shown by the report that of the total, 500 were habitual drunkards, 1,619 occasional inebriates and 1,363 temperate drinkers. In their report Drs. Harris and Vaught say in part: Most of the men are alcoholics, presenting, as they do, a wealth of ailments directly referable to their excessive

It is indeed amazing to note the rapid progress of these diseases upon this class of patients. This also accounts for the seriousness of the ordinary infections, such as infected fingers, scalps, etc. The mentality of the men comes below par. A SIGNIFICANT TESTIMONY. . The following statement from Franklin, Indiana is most significant: Franklin. Indiana. March 9, 1914. My Dear Sir Being the local representative of both Dunn and Bradstreet Agencies, I know personally of but two businesses that have been injured by the removal of the licensed saloon from our now fair city. These are the pool rooms and police court. Verv truly vours. O. J. SHUCK. STILL FURTHER TESTIMONY. Read the following statement from Bluffton, Indiana: Bluffton. Indiana. March 14. tS14. My Dear Sir I am a member of th firm of McFarren & Sons and our business the last six years has been growing and last year while the weather conditions were all against the Clothing Business yet we did more business than in any one year of thirty-eight years that we have been in business with the saloons. If you will look at the reports of the three banks of onr city you will see that there is more money on deposit than at any time when we had the saloons. The people that are today putting their money in the banks in the Christmas savings account are in a majority the ones that put most of the money in the saloons. Our poor of the city were better taken care of at less expense than ever before because there are fewer calls for help. There are more pupils in our schools because they have the clothes to wear and the attendance in our Sunday Schools and Churches has increased from 40 to 50 per cent since the saloons have been driven out. Yours for better condition. WILL S. SMITH.

ANOTHER MAYOR SPEAKS. We have the following testimony from Hon. A. A. Perrine, Mayor of Mt. Vernon Ohio: Mt. Vernon. Ohio. March 14. 1?14. Dear Sir: In 1907 when our city was at high tide from a whiskey standpoint, there were 648 arrests for intoxication. The records show a substantial decrease in the number of arrests from year to year and in 1913 there were "4 arrests for intoxication, and I believe I am safe in saying that twothirds of these 74 drunks were contracted in Utk-a. Ohio, a small town about twelve miles from Mt. Vernon which has the open saloon.

Merchants say that they sell more

j than they ever did when the city was wet. The banks show larger savings accounts as do the building and loan associations. I just stopped long enough to ask the banks for a statement and they j state that the four savings institutions Fhow an increase in pavings in the

past five years of 40 per cent. Very respectfully. ALFRKD

TO THE SANE PEOPLE OF RICHMOND Under the above heading the liquor interests of the city, through their paid advertisement writer, says in last evening's papers that in order to make his figures absolutely unassailable he has quoted statistics from official reports. He has been trapped, however, in so many instances already, where the figures are not correct that the only conclusion we can come to is that he has printed distorted statements either purposely or ignorantly. For instance in last Saturday's papers we showed that he was comparing a tax rate of $1.64 in Kansas City. Kansas, with a tax rate of $1.25 in Kansas City, Missouri. As we said further at that time, however, the $1.64 in Kansas City. Kansas, included school, state, county and city taxes, while the $1.25 in Kansas City, Missouri, included only city taxes, whereas it should have been $3.05 to have matched the same kind of taxes in Kansas City, Kansas. These and mis-statements in other directions have thrown discredit upon all his figures. The evidence that business, economic and moral prosperity follow the abolition of the saloon is overwhelming, a fact which the business men of Richmond can verify, not only by reading the letters from reputable citizens and officials, which appear from day to day in these columns, but by writing to business men of their own acquaintance in such cities as Kokomo, Marion. Crawfordsville, Bluffton, Frankfort. Franklin. Decatur and other dry cities of our own state, not to speak of those in Ohio, Illinois and elsewhere. While the liquor men are trying to make it appear that worse conditions will follow the closing of the saloons in Richmond, other towns and cities which have banished the saloon are enjoying a degree of prosperity, as well as of moral and. social benefit which they never enjoyed before. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. RICHMOND'S SALOON ASSETS. In the liquor advertisement yesterday the claim is made that the saloons are a benefit to the city from a commercial standpoint and the amount of the benefit as given is $244,942.36. We shall have more to say about this statement later on. Meanwhile according to the best statistics at hand which are taken from government reports, if the same amount of money that is now invested in the liquor traffic in Richmond were invested in other leading lines of industry, the commercial profit to the city of Richmond would be vastly more than the figures given by this advertisement writer. For instance the single item of wages paid to employes as given at the beginning of this advertisement, would grow to something like $750,000 as against the $131,000 which is now claimed is paid to employes of the liquor traffic. This advertisement states that $14,144 ia paid to the bakeries each year; $21,220 to the meat dealers; $10,051 to the fuel dealers, etc. Suppose the $600,000 now wasted in the saloons of Richmond annually, were turned into all other lines of industry, the share of the bakeries, the meat dealers, the fuel dealers, the ice dealers, etc., would be vastly greater than that now realized from the saloon as stated by Mr. Gordon, for the simple reason that hundreds and hundreds of our families that now eke out a bare existence because of the saloon would become consumers upon a larger scale. It is a simple problem in arithmetic. We still assert that the saloon is a tremendous liability and never an asset, and Mr. Gordon's figures are the best evidence of this statemeht, as we will show more conclusively later on.
