Sandoe An Anti-Saloon Man, In a letter to the Centre Reporter W. A. Bandoe, now a resident of In- gram, in the Pittsburg district, ex- presses himself very strongly in favor of local option snd opposed to every- thing in the nature of the liquor traffic. His letter contained a set of resolutions introduced in the Pitts- burg Chamber of Commerce and Pittsburg Board of Trade, and the printing of a few sections will give the reader an idea of the sentiment among 8 great many people in that section of country, Whereas, The County Commission- ers of Allegheny County propose building a special cottage for Ine briates at Claremont at cost of $25,000 and expect to spend another $25,000 every year for maintenance ; and Whereas, as this cottage is now bad- ly needed this organization desires to go on record as favoring the building of the present proposed cottage for Inebristes, However, in favoring this one cottage for Inebriates, this organi- zation desires to call to the attention a the County Commissioners, the members of this organization and the people generally, that we sincerely believe that we have come to the point when we should protest agsinst the ever incressing texation placed upon ué by reason of the steady in- ¢resse in crime, in ipebriety, in the number of insane and helpless in our almshouses, in houses of correction and institutions for feeble minded ; that the number is sonually incress- ing at such a rate as to challenge the attention of this commercial organiza- tion on economic grounds, not to men- tion the great loss to the great em- ployers of labor through this ever ine creasing course of inebriety and of taxation to care for the victims of the liquor traffio, The resolutions further state that in the almshouses in Allegheny county there are 3,137 inwates, and sccording to the 1910 census figures given above 38% per cent. are there through drink. EaMr. Bandoe is also an admirer of Evangelist SBunday, and thinks it a godeend that he came to Pittsburg just at this time, ———— A op ——————————— Not Compiimentary to Penrose, Middleburg Post, Republican. The spirit of evangelization and political reform go hand in hand The one supports the other, The po- litical revolution of 1912 promises to repeat itself in 1014. The loeal politi- cal elections of 1918 took many of the independent voters back to their old parties, but there promises to be the same independence in the next Guber- natorial and U, 8, Senatorial fights, that were exhibited in the Presidential election of 1912. It is well that it should be so. Theback-bone of the bose-ridden political parties must be broken if the people are to have a square deal. : TI AAP AAAS. Sunday's Good Bye to Pittsburg.
