Talks Like a Fool.

We mean to say some editors do :
as witness the following:
at is explained as one
of the reasons of the crusade
to incorporate prohibition in the
constitution Of Maine, that the
demonstrated failure of the laws
experimental on for thirty years
indicates the rapid approach of a
time when the general sentiment
of the State will no longer allow
the prohibition statutes to stand.
And it is very much harder to get
rid of a constitutional provision
than to repeal statute. Wheel
ing Register.
1t is out of charitable considera-
tions that we are constrained to say
the editor of the Register talks like
"a fool in the above remarks.
To say that he talks SO from ig-
norance, would be very uncharitable,
and we would not dare cast such a

height Dor; for there isn't an editor
in the State (nor editors boy far
enough advanced to spell Bakery
who doesn't know that prohibition
is so thoroughly grounded and ed1-
Gated into the people of Maine, that
all parties vie with each other in
extoling its benefits and rejoicing
in it's rich political and social fruits.
1T is explained" indeed Yes,
"explained" by the Register, either
originally or as borrowed from some
other friend and abettor of the vii
famous traffic.
The general sentiment" of the
State Of Maine has grown so rap
idly in favor of prohibition and
suppression Of the traffic, that it
has ripened into an almost univer.
sal demand that the constitution
Of the State shall brand the Grim
inal business with PROHIBITION
FOREVER. This is how at is ex-
planned"
The Registers last sentence lets
the black cat out of the bag. The
friends of the traffic well know that
prohibition is just and right, and
that CONSTITUTIONAL prohibi ton
once gained, will stand forever
Hence their tribulations

Sensible Suggestion.

Nearly all the Republican papers
in this State have favored prohibit
ton since the Amendment was de-
feated in the State Senate. If
they are in earnest and in harmo-
ny with their views let them put
plank in their next platform fa-
voring Prohibition, and thereby
sustain their present arguments in
1884 by carrying them into effect.
Tucker Democrat.
That's the wisest deliverance we
have as yet observed from our
Tucker brother. 1t is a most SEN
sible Democratic suggestion, and
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-03-14

one which we are very sure is wal
worthy the profoundest considera
ton of our Republican friends
Let it be remembered that the bes
suggestions sometimes come from
an enemy, and that if advice !
good, it neither adds to nor de-
tracts from its merits whether i
come from friend or foe.
We may be pardoned for addine
that the advice in this case would
carry additional dignity and
strength by making it subjective
as well as objective. But it's gooc
as it is.

ing through political schemers, can
secure a minority of a Legislature
to vote for the saloons and against
their own homes, it by no means
follows that this recreant minority
is giving voice to the sentiments
Of The people or Of the parties 1t
pretends to represent. AS matter
of discretion we think it the wiser
policy to let the people and the
eleven" fight it out. The relation
of people and representative IS a
pretty close one, and the newspa-
per that proposes to haul the peo-
pie off, in this little family mis-
understanding" may find itself IN
as bad plight as the fellow who I'M
dertook to part the pugnaclous
man and wife. Better let EN- fight

The Oratorical Contest.
Wooster Wins the Prize.

The recent oratorical contest at
Marietta, between contestants from
Ohio Colleges, was an affair Of great
interest,
Among those competing was a
young woman student from Della
ware College, and while her cora
ton" didn't win the prize, it did
win universal praise.
The first honor was won by
Wooster, the second by Marietta
We are under obligations to some
friend in Wooster, Ohio, for copy
Of the Wayne Herald, giving an
extended account Of the grand ova-
ton given Charles Krich baum, the
hero of the contest at Marietta, upon
his return.
Now, isn't this Growing in our
face because of victory over our
old Alma Mater, just little cruel,
50 to speak Not so; we rejoice
with all who rejoice in the triumph
of true worth and merit wherever
the victory is proclaimed.
That the second honor was left
with Mr.. Dyar of Marietta College,
is some consolation to such of her
sons as would mourn.
Never mind, Marietta's boys will
try them again. Had our college
been wise and admitted women to
it's classes years ago, it had won
this last honor. No man can long
be more than half man, divorced
from woman's presence and inhu-
ence

Let Both Sides be Heard.

ANDERSON, w. VA, March 7, 1888.
Mr.. FREEMAN: In your last
weeks number you gave US quite
a number of secular papers, as well
as religious, claiming for the peo-
pie, the right to be heard upon the
question of the proposed Amend
ment in the State Constitution on
the liquor question, and censuring
the Senate for the defeat. But
there are few papers which vim
dictate the action of the Senate, and
they should be heard in order
thoroughly to ventiIate this sub
ject. The Greenbrier Independent
of 1st of March, thus refers to this
matter:
"This amendment business is
nothing in the world but bastard
attempt to combine some cheap
morality with mean politics. The
higher order of thinking men
throughout the country, are united
in their views upon this sub
ject. and proclaim that morals can
not be legislated into people or
crammed down their Threats, but
must be inculcated by precept and
example. Men can be elevated by
being shown that it is better to be
temperate and virtuous, but can
never be driven. We want no
blue laws in West Virginia"
The editor leaves us to infer that
he favors a morality, not cheap,but
of high price. Then, dram the mar
ket-have little or no morality IN
it, and increase the demand, and
the price will go up. Increase the
use of the beverage and this is ac-
complished. To make good parties,
put in men who will not make
"blue laws" but laws pure as the
crystal water unmixed, and white
as the driven snow, whose every
touch will tend to purify society
"They proclaim that morals cannot
be legislated into people" The
second table of the divine code IS
an egregious blunder in that it at
tempts to legislate morals into PEG,
pie in conflict with the united
views of this higher order Of think
ing men" Their policy is to in
culcate morals by precept and ex-
ample" Yes, precepts; where are
they? What are they? "Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God, with
all thy heart, and thy neighbor as
thyself." Let the example be IN
harmony with precept, and morals
are good. Obedience to these pre-
cepts would sweep intoxicants,as a
beverage, out of existence. Wha1
are that ''higher order Of thinking
men" doing by way Of example, to
elevate society to higher plane OF
morals? The only safe example }I9
is to taste not, touch not, handle
not, the accursed thing" Come
ye thinking men; plant your leeI
upon this higher platform-the9
divine code, and WELD your potent
influence for Gods glory, and mans
good. NJ. ELLISON.

"Ridiculus Nus
A HYBRID AMENDMENT PASSED.

A HYBRID AMENDMENT PASSED.
Over in Ohio the huge Legisla-
tive mountains have labored, have
reeled and writhed in the agonies
of prolonged political travail, and
have at length brought forth a
"RIDIcULUs MUS" And a ridicu-
lous muss they have made of it, in
our humble opinion.
Among the many thousands of
petitions that have flooded the
Legislature, praying for relief
against the crimes of the liquor
traffic, no one, as we are advised,
has asked for this twin abortion,
which is offered. But then, as the
Senate will probably murder this
dual hybrid amendment, we shall
defer the obituary notice for the
present.
The House of the Ohio Legisla-
ture last week, by vote of 68 to
Is, adopted the following:
Be it resolved by the General
Assembly of the State of Ohio,
That propositions to amend the
Constitution of the State Of Ohio
be submitted to the electors of the
State on the second Tuesday of o.
tober, A. D. 1888, as follows:
First proposition-That the adj
ditional section to Article Is Of the
Constitution be amended so as to
read as follows, and that said or
iginal additional section be re-
pealed:
Section The General Assem-
bly, may by law provide for. levying
special taxes or assessments on the
traffic in intoxicating liquors, and
shall by law provide against the
evils resulting therefrom.
Second proposition-That the
additional section Of Article Is Of
the Constitution be amended SO as
to read as follows, and that said
original additional section be re-
pealed:
Section The manufacture Of
and traffic in intoxicating liquors
in this State to be used as bever-
age is forever prohibited.
At such election the electors de-
string to vote in favor of said first
proposition shall have on their bal
lots the words, "Taxation Liquor
Traffic, Yes" and the electors de-
string to vote in favor of said sec
ond proposition shall have on their
ballots the words, prohibition,
Yes"
And if any voter should be so
contrary minded as to want to vote
No, what then?
But why should honest citizens
worry over particulars in these
evident tricks and schemes of the
politicians to cripple and hinder
the truth and thwart the will of
the people? True men is what we
want. Then, we'll not have to be
watching their tricks.

The Senator's Right.

One of our Democratic exchanges,
the Mountain Herald, takes up the
cudgel in defense Of one of the
troubled Eleven.
1t says:
"There seems to be a disposition
on the part of some newspapers in
this State that favor Prohibition, to
misrepresent and abuse Senator
Price for his speech in opposition
to the prohibition amendment,
'"This is unjust, unfair and de-
cidedly illiberal. Senator Price
exercised his right as q member of
the Legislature to give his views
upon that question"
Well, who has denied the Sen
ator's legal right to get up in his
place and commit political suicide
if he was SO disposed? Moreover,
ifhe wasn't pledged to the contrary,
granted his moral right to speak
and vote against the right of the
people to be heard on a great polit-
ical question-what follows? Sure
ly the people whose representative
he was, have the same right to dis
agree with him and vote against
him in the future as he had to disa-
gree with the people and vote
against their interests.
1t is not his right to "give his
views" that the people and the
newspapers are questioning; but
it is his abominabIe vieaos they OBJ
ject to.
A representative of free people,
who has any "views" that will
lead or allow him for any consider
alton, to oppose their right to de-
eide question ofpublic policy and
universal interest, for which right
they have petitioned, prayed, and
importuued, has views" unfit fol
any true representative to have
and if the "views" can't be driven
from the representative, then the
representative should be allowed
to entertain has oi6ag8 at home. That,
all.
Our Democratic brother says
among other strange things:
Senator Price as a Democrat
merely did his duty in giving voice
to the sentiments Of his party"
In view of the fact that every
district and county Democratic
convention held in the State las
fall, where the question was raised
declared for the submission of the
Amendment, this last dietum viii
hardly be accepted as orthodox
West Virginia Democracy.

The Pipe OF Peace.

favoring it, in their platform
Ritchie Gazette.
We don't like to differ with our
esteemed contemporary, but are
afraid we shall have to this time.
The prohibition question is a po-
litical question and of right ought
to be; and if the Republican party
fails to incorporate the plank, the
worse it will be for he Republican
party, in this littla neck of the
woods, at least. Put that in your
pipe, dearly beloved, and smoke it.
Marshall Herald.
That last remark has the ring
of fearless independ nee that is es-
pecially pleasing to the advocates
Of Right and pure government.
1t may as well be understood all
around that there is eternal war
between the people of West Vir-
ginia and this barbarous enemy of
our homes, quartered in our midst.
The people have been pleading
with the Legislature to let them
have a chance at this enemy, and
their quarrel is now with the poll
ticians for refusing them this boon
of a fair and square fight with their
old foe at the polls.
Hitherto the people have been
ready to strike hands and smoke
the "Pipe of Peace" with any party
or parties that would go so far as to
grant them this "battle of ballots"
with the enemy, not demanding
that the party or parties should
even take sides in the conflict
but the inevitable consequences Of
all the preliminary skirmishing
that has been going on and must
continue, have been and will be to so
aggravate and exasperate the eager
volunteers for the fight, that their
demands in the future are likely
to be far more exacting.
The persistent dallying, decker
ing and trifing with this vital is
sue, by the parties, so as to defeat,
postpone and thwart, the known
will of the people, has been such as
to ripen a clean-cut demand from
the hosts that are eagerly waiting
to go out to battle against the AL
coholic Philistines. The cry will
soon go out and echo from hilltop
to hilltop: Who Is on the side of the
People? And the party that an
swers not promptly and definitely
will be set down as in league with
the enemy.
The poll tical party in West Vir-
ginia that refuses to put prohibit
ton plank in its platform in the
near future, will tumble to ruin for
lack Of such plank.
We charge nothing for this vol
unteered prophecy. The temper
ance people of the State are a quiet,
peace-and-order-loving people, and
are exceedingly jealous of their
rights, and fondly attached to
their homes. But they have been
trifed with, insulted, and outraged
beyond endurance by this insatia
BILE destroyer of all that is held
dear by the people, and they have
sworn eternal war against the Ty-
rant, and all who aid and abet him !;
and if any political party of West
Virginia has any desire to smoke
the Pipe of Peace with the temper
auce people of the State, the best
place we can suggest for the happy
ceremony, and the surest plan for
securing a full council of the
Braves, would be in party State
Convention, upon PROHIBITION
PLANK in a STATE PLATFORM.
