YOURS FOR PROHIBITION.
Third Party Man Faron the Amend
ment uf tile How Law.
A correspondent who is a third party
man gives Robert L. Young, of this cit,
editor of the Cedarville Herald, the follow
ing touching up
In the Cedarville Herald of last week I
noticed an item av ing that the general
drift of sentiment among prohibitionists is
against signing the petitions now being
circulated asking the legislature to amend
the Dow law Now. Mr. Editor. 1 think
our friend, the Herald, is a little olf in
this instance.
It Is true that ome prohibitionists and
among the number some very good ones,
havebeen vigorously advising their friends
to have nothing to do with it. because in
their opinion the will be responsible for,
n, nimnLI na ll drmnjtlir with till. rA.
.isiHimr obiectionable feature- viz: the tax
feature. '
But there are a great man others, and I
thing a v en large majority of the party.
wlio regard it as tne nut 01 ever proinoi-1
tionist to do all in his power to kill tins
chilli of the liquor traffic; to raise their i
hands and voice wherever and whnever
the have an opportunit against this
double headed instrument of deception. I
N'ow, we who favor the petition, see in ,
the proposed amendment an ami of power,
vv hlch, if put into practical operation, will!
do away with the tax portion of the laiv, I
the onl reuiiiiune objectionable feature,
because if the law is thus amended and the
leople of a count decide in favor of prohi
bition there can be no lhpior traffic in that
count to be taxed.

SOCIALISM AND LABOR.
Dr. Kriiriirri Avtltnt and Wife Adilr'M k
Nprluctlr.il AutUeuce on Lnlor Iii I'tut.
l'rfnent anil Future.
Auout tno ""-mired and lift people as-
sembled in Black's opera house last night
to listen to the addresses of Dr Ldnard
Aveling and wife, Mrs Eleanor Marv A ve-
ling, the famous teachers and advocates of
socialism, of l.inuloii, England. Dr. Ave
ling is a forcible speaker, and is evidentl
entirely wrapped up in the doctrines which
he advocates. The subject of his address
la?t night vvas "Labor Its Past, Present
and Future " He discussed the subject at
considerable length, his object being to
show how socialism vvas the reined offered
the laborer.
S:i1il lu ThH aim of Socialism Is tn

cessities for a radical change as to an equi
table distribution and eujoiuent of the
proceeds of iaboris evidenced in the growth
of want and suffering and prostitution and
uu-er . These things existed ev er vv here .
on the plains of the free, wild west, as well
as In the towns and cities. This miser lid
attributed to oneQcomniandiiig cause un
palJ labor. Every laborer contributes a
certain portion of wages due and unpaid
to his emplover. From these sums in
tie aggregate grow wealth, capital
and monopolies and millionaires. Out of
tliis unjust and inequitable distribution of
the proceedsof unpaid labor, comes slavery,
want and miser. 11 the enjoinent and
use of the proceeds of unpaid labor, large
manufacturing establishments aro enabled
to control and dictate price of labor and
throw the laborer out of eniploinent if he
mere asked that his labor might be equit
abl compensated, thereb creating a slave
ocrac as cruel as the enslavement of the
black man in this coimtrj twent-live ears

joiueit of private property such as is
needed for comfort and sustenance. To ac
complish the aims and ends of socialism he
urged ids hearers to join the ranks of a la
lwr part. He complimented the Knights
of Labor organization, and urged members
to unite with the socialists that the might
march together in the attainment of the
common end
During the course of his remarks Dr
Aveling referred to the labor troubles in
Springfield and said that Mr. Wlnteley's
jHihct was altogether wrong and tended
toward the enslavement of laborers His
ideas, as a whole, were not well received,
although ids remarks en the re
lation of the capitalist and la
borer were applauded. The workingnieii
of Springfield do not endorse the doctor's
radical views on socialism, although the
are ready to seize on good Ideas wherever !
they may be had.
Mrs. Aveling delivered a brief address, j
In which she discussed the condition of ,
women laborers. Some of her ideas were '
auDiauded. As a whole, the addresses!
were not so radical ln their tone as had
been expected.

As educational institutions, free public
libraries are a great beneht to even citizen.
For in every one of these, as the now exist
in thel'nited States, there are opportunities

or ancient histories, and keep Upwith the
march of evtnts as heralded b the press
of toda ln these libraries, man a rude,
unpolished bo lias fo-med a love for read

good books into noble and refined habits of
life. Tin se libraries contiin not oni the
gathered views of truth iii every depart
ment of s( lence. art and history, but "the
collected thoughts and stud of all those
who (iccupied chairs of instruction in the
higher schools, and such as have unselhshly
devoted their live to extending the bound
aries of knowledge."
To thoo who have completed their
studies in school, college or university,
these public libraries give the societ the

friends whose thoughts they still
relish and enjo 1 he public library sup
plements the work of our public schools and
literary Institutions. These furnish each
graduate with a key to know ledge, vv hile
the llbrar gives the enduring good that
may fill the treasiir into which the key
opens.
But the public llbrar is not merely for
the modern scholar, but the man of busi
ness, the merchant, the mechanic can each
find mental food and thought at a thousand
points. In tlirin the dail press reveal
what the rest of mankind are thinking and
doing Here the are able to touch the
great electric chain tint links together the
human lace, the past as well as the present,
for in" theo libraries the great men of all
ages "still live." and their thoughts and
lives nre in such shape that each person
ma) glean from them without injuring or
robbing another.
i' Then again a community with a vvell-se-Ucted
public llbrar ha multiplied its pow
er in restricting the ravages of crime and
law lessne. and lias opened a resort for the
young where in safet the can gain plea.s

educational institutions are collected librar

at work for or towards good moral, and
their work assists in thejformation of virtu

In them, when well managed, the good pre
dominates and the vicious ami bad are ex
eluded.
Wherever civilization flourishes there will
lie free libraries, or. a proierl termed,
"People's Universities," where all who
choose can enjov their healthy, benign and
elevating advantages. In ancient da sit is
said the llbrar of an Egptian king had
this inscription on it "The I)isiensar of
