GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Nov. 1 



who may honestly differ with us in this matter. 

 There are such. We do not expect men who are 

 awaiting public office, or who wish to stand in with 

 the "organization," or who would "vote for the 

 devil" if placed on their party ballot, to approve this 

 article. We have had their opinion very much 

 in advance. We know the plausible talk of the 

 campaigners. We have tried to weigh it all fairly. 

 But as a Republican seeking what we believe to 

 be best for this State and best for our party, be- 

 lieving that leaders who lead the party wrong should 

 be deposed from command, we can not support for 

 governor a man who has embraced both Co.xism and 

 the cause of the saloon, and we will continue to 

 oppose those two tilings so long as we can raise a 

 voice against them. 



Since the above was put in type we have 

 the following from the Hon. A. K. Webber, 

 of Elyria. Ohio, Member of Congress from 

 Gov. Herrick's distr ct. We copy it from 

 the Medina Gazette of Oct. 27: 



I will not campaign shoulder to shoulder with brew- 

 ers, distillers, and the Liquor League of Ohio. Since I 

 promised to address you in a meeting i have i ead the 

 doings of the allied liquor interests of the State, in 

 which their unitnd support is to be given for Governor 

 Herrick and against the temperance forces of Ohio, 

 and especially the Anti-Saloon League. 



I have fought the rum power for twenty years, and 

 helped orgaiize the Anti-Saloon League. 1 believe the 

 Anti-Saloon League has bet n and will continue to be 

 the great( st organization in America to hurl against 

 the liquor traffic everywhere. To show the liquor inter- 

 ests' opinion of the Anti-Saloon League 1 quote the fol- 

 lowing letter that has been sent out by a distilling 

 company:

Dear Sir.— Have you considered the importance of 

 the approachmg Gubernatorial election in Ohio and how 

 very seriously the rtsult of this election will affect the 

 liquor intertsts of this State? 



It will vitally affect every business concern and every 

 indiviriual dependent for support, directly or indirectly, 

 upon the liquor interests 



A plain business proposition confronts us. 



On the one hand is a candidate who was nominated 

 by the "Anti Saloon League." 



On the other hand is a candidate whom that organiza- 

 tion is fighting with every effective force at its com- 

 mand. 



The election of the "Anti Saloon " candidate, John 

 M. Pattison, will mean the entire subservience to each 

 and every restrictive and prohibitive policy for which 

 the "Anti Saloon " League openly and avowedly stands; 

 it will mean the complete domination of the Le^;islature 

 and a deuth blow to the liqSor business and its allied 

 interests in the State of Ohio. 



Hence, it behooves the distiller, the wholesaler, and 

 the retail- r to at once arise to the needs of the situation 

 by instituting a personal and vigorous campaign for 

 the prottction of their bu iness. 



Eveiy man interested, directly or indirectly, in their 

 but-iness welfare should be talked with personally or 

 written to. urging him to vote for Myron T. Herrick 

 and against the "Anti Saloon" candidate, John M. 

 Pattison. 



Your malster, cooper, bar fixture manufacturer, deal- 

 ers in supplies of all sorts, grocer, butcher, friends — all 

 of these should be made to understand the serious 

 importance to your interests which is involved in this 

 election; urge each and every one of them not only to 

 vote for Herrick, but to join you in urging others to do 

 likewise. 



We trust that you will see the importance of working 

 hard and incessantly from now on until the close of the 

 polls on election day. 



You must use every influence at your command to 

 assure the salvation of your busine.^s interests. 

 Yours very truly. 



The Fleischmann Company. 



The men who have had the most to do in building up 

 this now national organization are Kussell, Baker, 

 Wheeler, Dinwiddie, and Jackson. Nearly every State 



in the Union has been organized by the League. The 

 League has national headquarters in Washington, look- 

 ed after by Dinwiddie, through whose leadership Con- 

 gress refused to admit the Indian Territory and Okla- 

 homa unless they would agree that no traffic in intoxi- 

 cating liquor as a beverage should ever be granted in 

 the new States. 



Tens of thousands of people in Ohio have contributed 

 and will continue to contribute tens of thousands of dol- 

 lars toward the work of the Anti-Saloon League. Back 

 of it are all the churches, Sunday-schools, Epworth 

 Leagues, Christian Endeavor, Y. M. C. A.'s, and all 

 temperance organizations. It was organized to fight 

 the liquor traffic, not candidates— unless they get in the 

 way of its progress. It stands for the good of every 

 child in Ohio; for every home; for every man who has 

 fallen out by the way. It has made the name of Boss 

 Cox a hissing and a by-word everywhere except with 

 the allied liquor interests. It will never die till the 

 work for which it was organized has been accomplished. 



I am exceedingly sorry that the Governor is having a 

 quarrel with it or any of its leaders. This is unfoitu- 

 nate, for I have known the Governor mary years, and 

 believe him to be a clean man of kind impulses. 



I with the Governor would go to quaireling with the 

 Liquor League of Ohio and Boss Cox. His failure so to 

 do has disappointed his thousands of Republican friends. 



Come out. Governor, and repudiate the whole combi- 

 nation, and tens of thousands of Republicans now 

 declaring against you will turn with zeal in your inter- 

 est. You owe this to those of us who know you well. 



It is not the Brannock law the people so much care 

 about at this time, but it is to know that you are not 

 allied with the element that destroys, and the boss 

 whose cunning has made the good citizens of Cincinnati 

 ashamed of their fair city; and the only way to convince 

 the people, under the circumstances, is to cry out 

 against them publicly and to spare not. 



As a member of Congress, if I live to reach Washing- 

 ton in December I shall introduce a bill to abolish the 

 liquor business forever from theDi tiict of Columbia; 

 and in suppoi t of this I expect the support of the Anti- 

 Saloon League, and all people in A me) ica who believe 

 thnt the open saloon is the enemy of mankind.

DR. SALISBURY; GIVING CHILDREN MEDICINE, 

 ETC. 



On page 1009, Oct. 1, Ernest tells how he 

 was cured of deafness, etc. I wish to add 

 something to it. Mrs. Root and I took our 

 twelve-year-old boy to Cleveland for the 

 purpose of consulting some eye and ear doc- 

 tor; but as Dr. S. had been treating me I 

 went first to him, thinking he might be able 

 to refer us to some safe specialist. After 

 what Ernest has told you, the doctor said 

 something 1 ke this: 



"The trouble with the boy's hearing is 

 because he is not in good general health for 

 a growing boy." 



He took hold of the boy's slender arni, 

 then grabbed him by the calf of the leg, re- 

 marking. "See here! this boy wants to be 

 kept outdoors more, and given some active 

 exercise. Get him a hatchet, a sled, and a 

 wheelbarrow. Give him some rubber boots 

 and fcuitable clothing so he can be out in all 

 kinds of weather. Perhaps he'd better drop 

 school for a year. He will more than catch 

 up when we get some good muscle on him. 

 When the calves of his Irgs fill out with 

 good strong firm muscles his hearing will be 

 all right. His outdoor work will give him an
