Local Option in Ashland
Since the saloons have been banished
from Ashland the town has been more
prosperous than ever before. Everybody
nt ail familiar with the facts knows
that the growth of Ashland during the
last two years has never been equalled.
More substantial building has been done,
both in residence and business blocks
than ever before in the same length of
time. The people coming to Ashland
are of the best class. We all know ab
solutely that cutting out the saloon has
contributed very largly to the material
prosperity that we have enjoyed and
that the coming to our citv of so many
desirabk people, is the result, in part at
least of our reputation abroad as being
a town from which the licensed saloon
has been banished.
Ashland is a home town, and every
citizen kr.ows that the saloon is the
inveterate foes of the home. It is a
school town, and all know that the
licensed saloon is the deadliest enemy of
the schools. Parents who have children
to send to school perfer to have them
kept away from the bad influence of the
saloon. The saloon is the enemy of the
churches also, and since, as an institu
tion it has been abolished, the good in
fluences of the Sunday schools and
churches on the young men and boys
have been greatly enhanced. The vir
tue loving people of beautiful Ashland
are determined to stand together in
solid phalanx against this foe of the
school, the church and the home.—Ash

in the most gigantic swindlers ever pre
petrated in that city.

lers and speculators, corrupting a city
official by the payment of 2 per cent in
terest for money belonging to the city,
loaned by them for gambling and specu
lation. There is always a time in every
man's life when “murder will out.” It
came to the bankers of San Francisco
who, not daring to use any of the bank
funds to make up for the losses sustain
ed, made a criminal out of men they had
used as a tool; induced him to abscond
wilh the hopes that he would never be
captured, and when captured induced
him to plead guilty and serve ten yeais
in a penitentiary, while the biggest crim
inals unhung are allowed to go scott
free and play their nefarious vocations.
It is not strange that public opinion is
being educated up to the belief that
courts are corrupted ; that they are pur
chased by the wealthy to sliieid thepi
from their crimes; that the money of the
wealthy men is tainted, and that the
fashionable society of the large cities is
reeking with corruption and hypocricy
and the young boys of the land are edu
cated as criminals where outlawry is
more of an incentive than honorable
manhood. Christ died to save sinners,
and Smith went to prison to save crim,

whose picture adorns President Roose

for sending threatening letters through
the mails. Francis, 17 years old, is a
member of the notable family of Mr.

numbering 16 children. In a personal
letter from President Roosevelt to Mrs.
Francis, the former thanked he" for a
photograph sent and congratulated her
anil her husband on their true citizen

The boy, who bears his father’s
name, was, it is claimed, led into crime
through reading tales of desperate
deeds. He wrote to Jacob Feldiner, a
rich farmer, threatening him with im
mediate death and destruction of his
property if he did not personally place
$1900 in a certain rural mailbox at 10
o’clock on a stated night.
The two letters put Feldiner in a

Secretary Shaw takes a cheerful view
of the ‘impending treasury deficit, It
will be reduced in June, he says, when
business picks up. But there is no ex
pectation that business will pick up
enough to wipe the deficit out entirely ;
and sooner or later something must be
done to meet it. The simple truth is
that the Government is spending more
than it is taking in. We must either
cut down expenses or increase our in-
come. No one has vet seriously pointed
out where $39,000,000 and more per an
num can be saved ; and it seems to be I

legislation. If we are going to have a

Importations would have to be doubled
hi order to keep the revenue up to the
present point, while to double the rev
enue the importations would have to lie
four times their present quality. That
would bring money into the national
treasury, but how would it effect home
capital and home labor, whose output
ould be displaced bv the greater vol
ume of importations ? It is worth while
to invite such an inflow of competitive
foreign goods as would close a consider
able number of our own industrial es
tablishments and throw Americans out
of work, merely for the sake of more
revenue ? Is there not a letter way ?
These questions should be considered in
any scheme for Tariff revision.

attempt to teach the people their rights

of a country like the Philippines the in

closing he said ; “The world grows better
