ED. FREEMAN: | see from Delta S
article in the FREEMAN, OF last
week, that speeches have been
made, petitions circulated, and the
people are ready to vote" on the
proposed Constitutional Amend
ment.
That is all true, l suppose. |
have done some talking myself on
this matter, and secured the largest
petition sent up from Jackson coun-
ty, l presume and [ must say that
/ find quite a public sentiment ex-
listing in favor of the proposed
Amendment, but some of it is not
Just the kind of public sentiment |
like.
In some instances it is too much
like what might be called public
private sentiment. That is, there
are some men in this world who
will express themselves privately
as being in favor of prohibition, but
are afraid to say anything about it
publicly.
Now, | confess that | do not see
why this should be so, unless they
are afraid that the druggists would
not let them have any more "tan-
gle-foot" on tick for certainly no
man should be either afraid or
ashamed to let the world know he
,c n ,,rnh ihitiopict
Now, | think the kind of public
sentiment needed in this matter,
should not be an elliptical one,
merely understood, but one boldly
and defantly uttered from the
'housetops."
| regard the contest a real one
no fun in it, 1t is one that we
must deal with boldly We must
mould this private-public senti-
ment over and make it such that
the rum-sellers' eyes may see it,
and realize that it is public senti-
ment purely, and that it is rolling
directly toward him, and that I'M
less he escapes by abandoning his
infamous business it will socially,
morally and financially crush him.
Permit me to say that my idea of
dealing with rum is that Of anoth-
err: Deal with it as it proposes to
deal with you, that is to kill"
So l think the way to treat the
accused whisky traffic should be
after the manner in which our fore
fathers used to run home flax fac
tory-break hackle and scutch I'M
til the iniquity be beaten out Of the
detestable business.
Yours truly,

Pass the Word Along.

ED. FREEMAN Is there anything
to discourage the friends OF temper
ance in the recent action OF the
House Of Delegates, in refusing to
submit the question to a vote OF the
people? We think not, but on the
other hand we ought to be greatly
encouraged.
The fact that we came within
four votes of the requisite number,
should cause renewed and vigorous
efforts in every county in the State,
and especially in those counties
that are represented wholly or in
part by those that showed plainly
by their votes that they were in IA
vor of continuing al the vice con-
nected with the liquor traffic.
Surely a county like Wood will
not want man in the liquor in
terest in the next Legislature. Let
every one of the 20 be left at home;
let us elect men Of known temper
ance principles, on the 10th day Of
October.
The temperance men should lose
no time in effecting a thorough or
ganization in every county, and our
State Committee ought to call Il
State Convention at as early day
as practicable, not later than May,
and every county ought to send
delegates to said Convention. Let
us meet and consult as to the best
means to adopt, and go boldly for
ward in the good work of freeing
our State from the greatest evils of
our day. In union there is strength.
The temperance cause is gaining
strength, and the triumph of the
wicked will be short. Truth will
prevail over error, and virtue over
vice.
The reasons assigned by some for
not voting to submit the question
to the people were both weak and
silly. One, for instance, that some
of the boys in Stonewall Jackson's
command did drink, notwithstand-
my JIG 0cHcl il llCu w hOCP oilCii
from it, Another, that politicians
would make use Of the question in
the next election.
Well, have they got rid of it
now? If they think so at present
they will change their opinion be-
fore sunset on the second Tuesday
of October. 1t will be the impor-
tant question of the election of this
Fall. All other questions are of
minor Importance compared to this.
The people are in earnest and will
continue to work until victory
comes, and it will surely come.
The best men and women in the
State are with us, and above all, we
have the blessing of God, and our
success is sure. Let us march on
to battle and victory.
Let all the people take a good
temperance paper, and thus become
well posted as to runs doings, and
they will be prepared for vigorous
action for it's overthrow.
