Mark TwaipiG ON tho Crusade.

letter from Mark Twain on the tenn

extract.
sWould you consider the conduct

thoroughly justiiiable. They find
themselves voiceless in the making of
laws and the election Of officers to ex-
ecute them. Born with brains, born
in the country, educated. having large
interests at stake, they find their
tongues tied and their hands fettered,
while every ignorant, whisky drink

office, help to make the laws, de-
grade the. dignity of. the former and
break the latter at his own sweet will.
They see their fathers, husbands and
brothers, sit namely at home and al
low the scum of the country to assem-
bic at the primaries, name the can
didates for office from their own vile
ranks, and, unrebuked, elect them.
They live in the midst of country
where there is no end to the laws and
no beginning to theexecution of them.
And when the laws intended to protect
their sons from destruction by intern
perance lie torpid and without sign { f
life year alter year, they. recognize
that here is a matter which interests
them personally, q matter which comes
straight home to them. And since
they are allowed to lift no legal voice
against the outrageous state Of things
they suffer under in this regard, [
think. it is no wonder that their pa
tleaee has broken down at last, and
they have tried to persuade them
selves that they are justifiable in.
