come of excellent parentage, which
assures a bright future for them.
ANSWERING CRITICS.
In your last issue I wrote a rather
strong plea favoring prohibition, but
in my final remarks criticized the en-
forcement officers for destroying
strictly pute * analyzed liquors, when’
the same should be donated to legiti-
mate and responsible hospitals.
I said “all our hospitals that un-
derstand their business are obliged to
keep in stock a supply of choice liquor
for medical purposes; they are ena-
bled to secure this indispensable com-
‘modity through the appropriations of
the legislative body. The source of
this revenue comes directly through
the tax payer; in other words, the tax
payer “pays the fiddler.” ‘Why «not
practice common sense and economy ?
They should remember that. all con-
fiscated liquor is not moonshine, and
all strictly pure liquors should, as a
matter of economy and the salvation
of the tax payer, be preserved and do-
nated to the various hospitals in good
standing, ete.” alll ge
While on my way to the postoffice a
lady stopped me and criticized the
wind-up of my remarks. She admit-
ted that the first part of my views
were excellent but said she was disap-
pointed at the wind-up. She evident-
ly did not take into consideration that
a newspaper man is expected -to give
the two sides of every topic he writes
on when two sides exist. «+ I will en-
deavor to give the two sides of the
dry and wet issues:
The drys tell us what rum has done.
It has caused the enactment of laws
which have opened the sluiceways of
destruction, pouring” forth upon the
people of this land a dreadful tide of
intemperance, with all the attendant
evils of drunkenness, disease and
death. It has taken away our proper-
ty, earned by patient, faithful labor,
and reduced our families to beggary
and want. It has diverted the wealth
of the Nation from its proper office to
the support of the criminal, the pau-
per, and the idiot, made such by its
blighting- influence. It has extorted
many millions from the laborers of
the Nation to be expended in main-
taining the police forces, the courts of
justice, and all the machinery of gov-
ernment, devoted largely to a vain ef-
fort to remedy the evils it has inflict-
ed upon society. It has transformed
the fruits of the earth, given for the
sustenance of man and beast, into a
death-dealing poison which changes
men into demons.
It has drawn away our young girls
from the paths of virtue to dens of in-
famy and frightful depths of degre-
dation. It has dragged down the gift-
ed and noble of all classes from posi-
tions of honor, trust and usefulness,
and with ruined reputations, and
names disgraced, has consigned them
to a drunkard’s grave and a drunk-
ard’s doom. It has blighted the sun-
ny, happy years of childhood, and
caused the little ones te pass their
lives in squallor, misery and want;
and homes that might have been the
abode of perennial happiness have
been turned into habitations of infer-
nal misery.
Now, then for the other (wet) side:
They say crimes are increasing at a
wonderful pace. The list of evils, in
consequence of dryness, follows:
First, crime has increased 40 per
cent,
Second, divorces have increased 33
per cent.
| just.
-
Third, murders have increased 40
per cent.
Fourth, nearly a million people have
become drug fiends.
Fifth, over 3,000 persons have died
from drinking poisonous liquor, in two
years.
Sixth, more than 4,000 persons have
been killed in conflicts between prohi-
bition agents, boot-leggers and citi-
zens.
Seventh, the Volstead act has cost
over $1,000,000,000 in revenue in two
years.
Eighth, it has increased the con-
sumption of red liquor and filled to
overflowing all the jails and peniten-
tiaries.
Ninth, it has more than doubled the
money waste in the Federal courts.
Tenth, it has raised up an army of
lawbreakers and hypocrites.
Eleventh, it has failed to show one
moral or economic benefit to society,
to business or the Federal treasury.
The reader will have two sides of ‘a
most embarrassing proposition. I do
not claim originality for all that is
claimed by the contending parties, as
I had to get some of the statistics
from Washington.
The only objection I have to offer
regarding my woman critic is that she
smokes a pipe; otherwise, I think she
is o. k. ¥
SMULLTON.
C. L. Beck left last Friday morning
for Wilkes-Barre, where he is employ-
ed at the carpenter trade.
We understand that George W.
Crouse will leave for State College
this week, to work at the carpenter
trade. :
Huston Schreckengast and family
will occupy the home near the grist
mill, at what was formerly called Cen-
tre Mills.
A fine 4x5 camera for sale ata
right price, has three plate holders
and in excellent condition. Call on
Herbert Stover if you want to buy a
good camera at a right price.
In our items last week we omitted
mentioning the moving of Fred Con-
fer, from near Tyrone to the home
west of this town known as the Elias
Breon home. He moved on the first of
the month. . -
Herbert Stover accompanied his un-
cle, F. H. Waite, who was taken to the
hospital at Lock Haven on Saturday.
He is afflicted with paralysis and his
wife had been looking after him, but
because there was no help to be had,
it was deemed best to take him to the
hospital. Mr. Stover made the ar-
rangements at Lock ‘Haven, with the
assistance of C. M. Bierly, who is per-
sonally acquainted with the head of
the hospital staff. ;
This town has its missionaries; not
in China, not in Japan, neither in any
other country but they consist of
home missionaries. The work of our
missionaries is to visit the homes of
new-comers in thé community and in--
struct them as to which store they are
‘to patronize, whom to neighbor with,
.etc. “We have been told that one of
these has been very busy since certain
people moved to this town. -We. pre-
dict - that the time may not be far
hence when this same person, (not
citizen) will have fence business with
the same person or persons. If this
should ever happen we will support
the same property we always did and
which we knew is in the right. - To
any fair-minded person a recommend-
ation from . another as to who they
should. or, should not. neighbor. with,
should be evidence enough as to what
that kind of person amounts to in a
community. We have no mission-
aries; the person who comes to us is
welcome, the one who’ stays away is
welcome also.” We do not ‘believe in.
the feeding of taffy to any one, but we
do believe in treating people right and

ed States, will be held at State Col-

Use Doan’s Pills before it is too late!
Doan’s are a stimulant diuretic to the
kidneys. Doan’s have helped thous-

one of many Bellefonte cases:
Mrs. Boyd Vonada, E. Bishop St.
says: “My kidneys were weak and I
could hardly rest at night.
When I
was on my feet, my back gave out and |
ached so I often had to stop and rest.
I frequently had dizzy, nervous head-
aches and my kidneys acted too often.
I used Doan’s Pills, purchased at the
Mott Drug Co. and they rid me of the
trouble.”
