On Monday, August 24, on petition tst the saloon element of West Man chester, Preble county, a vote under the Beal law was taken to see wheth the "dry" vote of two years ago could not be reversed, and the town made "wet." again. The saloonists were greatly 'couraged, in making tketest, from the iact that the "drys" carried two years aigo by only four majority. But they iiad counted without without their 3ost When the vote was counted 3t was found that the "drys" had car Toea the town by a majority of of 47! The damp boys had counted without investigating. Come to think of it, the "drys" are getting along quite well under the law. Since the first vote was ast, May 5, 1902, at Bethel, Clermont County, 131 towns have voted "dry" and 76 wbile on three "votes there was a tie.

Of the 76 towns that voted "wet' m1y five were dry before. In these elections while twenty seven saloons lave been added, 530 have been oust During the same period out of the 3.371 townships in the State, 850 havo voted From these statistics It may be inferred that the people of Ohio are increasingly of the opinion that they are better off without i toxicants being sold in their midst. ALL RIGHT For Mayor of Cleveland If the pie Can Do No Better. While one is led to wonder at the to their choice, and may have 2ad people in selecting Tom Johnson as their Mayor, they have a right lot heir choice, and may have some reason for their choice that does not appear on thesurface. But that officious, self conscious, inflated and fus try boss would be too almighty thin to spread out over the whole State.

)ne can see through him from Ports mouth to Cleveland. A man needs no ray turned on him to know him. The campaign he conducted two years ago ought to have satisfied him and his supporters that he was not. wanted outside of Cleveland. His single lax vagaries and his pre posterous claim that thetaxes In Ohio would be less on farmers than it now is if he was Governor, has not a scintilla of fact, or of reason in it.

In fact the taxes on farmers iiave never before been so low as they arenow. The State has never been in a better condition. Ont of debt, since the end of June, prosper in every branch of industry, Ohio all her history has never been so well off, never lias afforded so litlle argument for a chance of adminis tration. The people of Ohio on the 3d of November, will well enough alone" with an emphasis that will af least be impressive, if does not teacn lesson in politics that will not De forgotten. THE LYNCHING HORROR.

Rev. Geo. S. Bates Gives His Opinio In a recent sermon to his people in St. Louis, Rev.

Geo. E. Bates, thus clearly expressed himself as to the reat crime of lynching: "In the name of American law and of American citizenship, have we fal len so low that our criminal courts and machinery of justice can not be trusted to punish crime? The practice of lynching is an insult to the judges' bench, to the trial by jury, to the legal profession and to the flag of our country, which punishes criminals as well as protects the innocent. Every lyncher is a trator as well as a murderer. He defies the authority of his country's courts and create; tribunal of his own passion blinded May God protect America from the anarchism of its frenzied mobs from the law of the road side gibbet and the burningstake." Most assuredly every word of tl above Is true.

The man who lynch or aids inlynching, the man who mur ders and is now in the hands of the law, is as much a murderer as the ob ject of his insane and murderous engeanee. Every such man should stand before the bar of public opinion a murderer and should be punished as such. The excuse is made that the law is slow and that courts are uncertain. In some cases this is true. But better be better be uncertain than to take the law into the hands of a lot of mad men who break over all law.

Better the law fail, better the courts short of duty a thousand times, than for men to take the law into thei hands once. That is Anachy pure and simple. Any lay is to be prefrered to no law. A bal law can be altered at the demand of the people. The work of a mob can never be condoned or excused.

It attacks the very foundation of all that is stable in human society, and no good citizen can ever uphold it and far less engage in it.

Most of the line of the Springfield Troy and Piqua Electric Railway Com pany between Lawrencoville and Troy has been graded and it will riot be long until the men will begin lay wires. Mi na Costs You Nothing, If it Does Not Cure, Says Brandriff Hedges.

Mi na, the remarkable flesh form ing food and cure for dyspepsia, has won fame by the unusual way in which it is sold. It is the only rem edy offered for the cure of dyspepsia which costs the user absolutely noth ing unless It cures. Brandriff Hedges, the popular druggfsts, are' selling a great many packages of Mi na and with every box is given their personal guarantee to refund the money if Mi na does not give satisfaction, you're to be your judge as to whether the remedy helps or not. Mi na is an unusual combination. is a flesh forming food combined with agents that regulate the diges tive organs and remove irritation, con gestion and inflammation from the stomach, liver and Intestines.

Green said he did not expect to have cars running before January 10. At first the officials expected to things in operation by Thanksgiving but there have been several delays for various reasons. The company could not get men and teams and then ma terial was scarce and hard to get.

A large force of men is at work laying the foundation for the new power house, which is being con structed by the Bushnell Syndicate west of Springfield. Mr. Green say: it is to be finished by November 1 according to contract. If it is not the contractor will have to pay a for felt for every day longer it takes to finish the plant. When finished the Springfield, Troy and Piqua Electric Railway Company will be one of the best interurban lines in Ohio.

It is learned that the Bushnell syn dicate, which controls the Springfield and Xenia Traction Company, will probably purchase the Dayton and Xenia interurban road within a short time. If this is done the syndicate will have a through line from Piqua to Dayton.and then it will be a strong competitor to the Dayton, Springfield and Urbana Electric Railway Compa ny.

ITEMS FROM THE GLOBE DEMOCRAT. According to Corp. Tanner, all that the Democratic party will nominate a ticket for 1904 is to keep up its or 1 anization. It looks that way. No Democrat of any sense believes that party will win next year, but many Democrats look for their party win some time.

It is necessary for the party to keep its machinery in action all the time, however dark be the immediate outlook. It mild seem, however, that Demo crats who expect to have a future should take care to keep their names out of the convention of 1904. "Roosevelt is very strong in the South," says Senator Scott of West Virginia. Presumably the Senator does not expect Roosevelt to carry any of Southern states except Dela ware, Maryland, and West Virginia. The Republicans are not going to make a canvass in any of the other ex slave states except Kentucky and Missouri, and, while they are not counting those two states in their elt column for 1904, the coun not be surprised if he should 2:25 Pace Purse $250 carry one or both of them.
