FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1907 WILL SQUIRE THARP ANSWER? .Squire Tharp’s attack of belly ache seems to have become chron ic, and the astute judge is still in .sjsting that The Journal, prompted by some sinister motive, has made sdime unwarranted attack upon Ljim. This The Journal positively and emphatically denies and defies Jtldge Tharp to prove it. kludge Tharp’s first article, written as he claimed, in self de fense, was entirely uncalled for. "The only facts set forth in that | article by the squire, as relating ta^imself, had alreay been pub lished. His own action, therefore, shqws that it was not so much an unbiased desire to let the public ■kpow the facts in the case as it was a fiendish desire to “chew up” the Jitfrlie 2x4 editor and thus gain spn^e desirable notoriety. A, careful perusal of Judge Tharp’s article in today’s paper will; show that the gentleman is digressing. This is no mud sling ing coiiiest. It was not started as'.*snqh and The Journal does not propose- to allow Judge Tharp to thus distract attention from the question at issue. In his first ar ticle w.jB -permitted the ’squire to teTl all the facts he desired the 1 public to know, or at least all the 1 t- :4 “facts’“it pleased him to submit at;that time. But we asked him to I CtVK TIIK.

But it ■ won’t go, in this instance. The people have been trifled with long edough and its now high time to gqt down to business. The judge *e|sks to dodge the question by sa&’ing that he has kept his office iHlder his hat. But that does not chfange the situation in the least. Ififhe has kept his office under his Jhatotfs-fre says he has, he has kept it ftflTblind tiger, for everybody ■knows that he has kept his hat in a J4i/Ud tiger, where, for about two yowrs;preceding the first of the present year, he has been employ e<fu&s’ bookkeeper and general Tc^ist-about. qJVill a man who has the proper regard for his oath as an officer k£ep his office in a place where he isjjlbound to know that the law is b§5ng openly violated day after diy, and never raise his hand or vCice in protest' «Has Judge Tharp ever lent one ioia of aid, either financially, of Got a Cold? | The average person > can safely count on ■ havingacold this time of year, sooner or lat er.

The bill is considered a masterly docu ment, dealing as it does with every legal phase of the subject, and is attracting favorable att e n t i o n throughout the entire country. The bill provides that no person shall manufacture or sell or assist in the manufacture or sale of in toxicating liquors for beverage purposes, penalty for each offense of violation to be not less than $100 tine or 60 days’ imprisonment nor more than $1,000 fine and im prisonment for one year. But there are some eminent legal lights and officials in Newark who hold that a state cannot pass and enforce a law to prohibit the manu facture of liquor, and it might be a good idea for the Illinois legis lature to consult these gentlemen before passing such a law as this. | Religious Work | .j. ♦ VVVVV>^*’VVVVVVyVTVTTV ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Conducted by Rev.

The day rolled round for me to make m.y second visit. 1 was soon on the path and with a glad heart I made haste, feeling in my very soul that a welcome awaited me. This being my conviction, I did not obseve the msual convention ality of calling at the gate, but alighted and at the open door a similing elderly lady bade me come in. As 1 rounded the corner of that old high post bed-stead, 1 found the old gentleman had turn ed his face front, and as I extend ed my hand, he clasped it wit! : both of his saying, “Good morn ing sir, I am glad you have conn back; will you forgive me foi treating you so ugly when yoi were here before?” The tear.' were flowing down his cheeks, anc I mingled mine with his, and said, “Bro. Sandy you don’t owe me any apology whatever, but how i? | it with you and your God?” “Oh’: he said in tearful delight, “I fee so much better; you are the only preacher who has ever shown any interest in me. Sit down sir, anc make your self at home. The ole woman will have dinner in a little while and you must stay and gel dinner with us, and go and pul your “nag” up and feed it, and we will talk some more.” Reader, 1 tell you I felt at home and in thal old homely log cabin, and on thal old puncheon floor, and around the social board of that once “preach er hater,” but now transformec into a gentle agreeable man. 1 enjoyed myself as never before. We had a good time. The ole man said, “I tried to be an infidel and I got the credit of being one but it won’t do in sickness, anc death,” Thev were loath to see m< lney were main 10 see go, but other duties called, and had to respond. The old gentle naan recovered sufficiently to ge up and go around the house, bu was never stout again and in Octo ber he died. I was holding i meeting at Salem when the new i of his death came, and a reques for me to go and hold the buria service. I went. The old lad; was sad and grieving much at thi death of her husband. She mad the following statement to me “Well,” she said, “Bro.
