Shall the People Vote !

The Press of the State almost
unanimously concede the right of
the people to vote on the one issue
that concerns them above al, 9TH
ers. We might fill our columns
with extracts like the following
from our exchanges all over the
State:
State Tribune:
petitions are flowing in upon
the United States Senate for pro-
hibitory liquor amendment to the
Constitution. This may convince
some of the short sighted that the
question has a National side as
we'll as State bearing. 1t will
not be many years before the peo-
pie who do the voting will push it
in front of Congressional candidates
in such way that they will be
obliged to stand upon a Prohibition
plank or be defeated. Popular sem
timent is elevating itself in this
regard. Will our State Solons sub
nit the amendment so loudly pc
titioned for to decision at the polls ?"
Lincoln Clipper:
"The question of submitting the
prohibition amendment to the vo-
tiers of this State, will no doubt en-
gage the early attention of the
next Legislature. The only prop
er way of disposing of this matter
is to refer it to the voters of the
State for their decision. We think
the Legislature will not shirk the
responsibility of transferring this
subject to the arbitrament of the
people. The number of petitions
sent up to the last Legislature,
asking for the submission of the
prohibition amendment to the vo-
tiers of this State, indicates that
there is large element favorable
to the measure. This matter
ought to be settled. If the people
Of the State want prohibition they
should have it, And they ought
to have the opportunity of express
ing their wishes with regard to the
matter"

A Little Mixed.

1t is perhaps not strange that
newspapers that advocate drunk
enness and temperance in the same
columns, should get their ideas
mixed as badly as their matter.
AS a "muddled'' example we
quote from the Raleigh h1der:
"Christmas at this place was en-
joyed by all. With the exception
of some disorderly conduct, caused
by drunken men early Christmas
morning, nothing occurred to mar
the festivities of the occasion and
we commend those who are in
the habit of celebrating this, the
greatest of all the Holidays, by
getting drunk and being bolster
Gus and disorderly, for their good
conduct"
1t may puzzle some to know
why the Inder commends those
guilty of "boisterous and disorder
ly'' conduct ''for their good con-
duct"
But this standardization is no
more fragrant than to admit the
following by way of yearly ad-
vertisement:

Fetch on Your Spellin'.

At,the recent Press Meeting, Hon.
A. w. Campbell, of the Wheeling
htelbgencer, l. H. Johnson, Of the
Parkersburg FREEMAN, and Jno. I.
Gibson, Of the Huntington Com
mercial, were selected a committee
on reform in spelling. They are to
report at the next session, July 4th.
The English language, as now
written and printed, certainly needs
pruning. We hope this committee
will enter upon the work with
earnestness.- Tribune.
That's news to US. But, all
right: fetch on your spellin'. We
think we'll be able to reform the
whole business and straighten it
out satisfactorily by next fire
cracker day, SO, fetch on the
crooked words that need reforming j;
but please send the hard ones that
are not pronounced the way they
are spelled, to Bro. Campbell or
Bro. Gibson.

WESTVIRGINIAF FREEMAN.
Measure of Interest.

Along with the many renewals
and words of cheer we get from
subscribers, come occasional letters
and cards, saying, Il like the FREE
MAN; i is the paper we need, and
I wish it the greatest success, &C.,
&c" II am temperance man,
out and out, &C., &c"-But-"I
haven't time to read, &c.n-"l
have too many other papers, &C."
-"You may discontinue the FREE
MAN"
Now, do these professed friends
know that these letters are per-
feet thermometer, measuring their
interest in the Temperance
work? There is nothing plain
er than the fact, that, if the
FREEMAN is just such a Temper
ance paper as is needed in West
Virginia, every Temperance man
in the State, who is able, ought to
cheerfully subscribe for it.
These friends say they wish the
FREEMAN great success" How in
the name of common sense could it
live week, much less succeed, if
all the friends of Temperance were
like these?
We don't want to be harsh or
complain, but it does wound to the
heart the true friends of the cause,
who are sacrificing time and mon
ey, to have such letters come from
men of loud professions and ample
means, as they sometimes do.
If you don't like the FREEMAN,
of course, say so; but if you do
like it and are at all a5le-O, how
much better it makes us feel to have
you prove your "likes" by cheer
fully putting just little bit of
money in it,
Please renew, friends, and let's
push the good work along, alto
gether.

jimmie Campbell's Letter.
"a Little Child Shall Lead Them"
\ And Reproue Them Too.

Our heart was touched with the
earnest simplicity of Jimmie's let
ter, and we give it below with the
hope that it may arouse some of
those that are dead asleep, "and put
a little "back bone' into some of
Jimmie's neigh5ors;
RAVENS EYE, FAYETTE Co.
DEAR FREEMAN: When my year
was up | thought my paper would
stop, and when it kept coming |
thought | would take it the worth
of 80 cents more. But | am little
boy, and Ma was away with her
sick parents, and | waited till she
come home.
| will now send you the pay and
you need not send the FREEMAN
any more till you hear from me
again. l thought | could get you
some more subscribers. | tried it :;
but we have plenty that talks pro-
hibition, but are dead asleep to its
interest, and have not got backbone
to work.
May God help the FREEMAN come
out more than conqueror.
JIMMIE CAMPBELL.
We have squared Jlmmie's ac-
count Oh our books, but we can't
drop his name for the present. We
want to send him the FREEMAN
awhile for this good letter, and we
want him to poke sharp sticks into
those sleepy neighbors till they
wake-up and get some backbone.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-01-17

Now, our friends may think a
little strange that we publish let
ter like that, but we rather like it.
We like it's business "make-up."
We would be a little better salts
fed if it went a little further and
explained achy the FREEMAN didn't
suit; but then it is not much
trouble to imagine that.
But what we started to say was
this-we like this sort of letter a
great deal better than some we
occasionally get, praising the FREE
MAN extravagantly, lauding the
editor most flatteringly, and wind
ing up, wishing the cause success,
with last sentence Of which the
writer is evidently ashamed, direct
ng the FREEMAN discontinued.
This sort of a contradictory mix
ture we are not fond of, from
friends who are abundantly able to
take Temperance paper, and who
claim to be Temperance men.
We cannot avoid measuring
their interest in the Temperance
cause by their willingness to help
sustain and promote it; if the lat
ter is negative. the former must
be negative. On this point we
remark" in another column.

Fleeing the Sinking Ship.
An Indiana News item saws:

n II IllAldilI ANC w : 1OCLl
"No less than eight lawyers have
abandoned business at ,Rushville,
Indiana, within the past year
Some have engaged in other pur-
suits, one has died, and several
have moved away"
Rats instinctively flee from a
sinking ship, and would it be ex-
pected that the common lawyer
should exhibit less common sense
than a rat. The rotten old hulk,
the "Liquor Traffic" that has been
discharging into the pockets Of the
lawyers three-fourths of their fat
fees, is about to 60 down in Indi-
ana, and well may the average po-
lice court lawyer "take to the
woods" With Prohibition insIn-
diana, his occupation will soon
be gone.

TAXES US TO TAsK.-The West
Union Record complains of the
FREEMAN for calling the recent
success of the West Union Council
elect, a Temperance victory. It
says, "The temperance question
was only side ISSUE" &c.
From our knowledge of the facts,
if temperance was "side" issue, it
was inside and outside, and got on
the top side-wherefore we "rejoice
with them that do rejoice" Some
of the gentlemen of the defeated
ticket, we are advised, are not the
stuff that temperance saints are
made of.

Personal Responsibility.

During the recent city cam
paign we frequently heard the re-
mark, "you can't get an anti-li-
cense Council out of all the tickets
why not therefore vote for the best
men, regardless of the liquor ques-
ton?
Because, whoe yer votes for a
Councilman knowing that he will
vote to license the liquor traffic, is
personally responsible for that
traffic. The edict has gone forth
that "no drunkard shall enter the
Kingdom of Heaven" Who makes
the drunkard? The saloon. Who
makes the saloon? The Council.
Who make the Council ? The vot-
ers. The voter is not far removed
from the drunkard himself and he
assumes a fearful responsibility
when he helps to license a saloon.
The law says the saloon shall not
exist unless the Council grant per-
mission. Are you responsible for
granting of this permission?
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-01-17
Hair SplItters.

Prohibition will come in due
time and put the brand of outlaw
on the traffic in all intoxicating
liquors; while Temperance hair
splitters will doubtless remain to
pirate about mince pie and apple
butter dilemmas. Not even the
State has jurisdiction to prohibit
hair-splitting.

RAILROAD SLAUGHTER. - The
Press of the lower end of the State
is full of indignation at the man
agement of the C. & O. R. R., in
view of the many fatal accidents
happening with alarming frequen-
cy, for some time back. Speaking
of two recent accidents, by which
eleven lives were lost, the Border
Watchman, among other things,
says:
"No cause can be assigned for
these terrible catastrophes but that
Of criminal negligence or careless
ness on the part Of the railroad au-
thorities or their subordinates."

The Governors Message.

The Message of His Excellency,
Governor Jackson, is at once an
elaborate and concise business
document.
After brief reference to the peace
and prosperity Of the State, it pro
eeeds at once to the general and
special reports. The Governors
treatment of the "School Fund"
question seems to have stirred up
the "cats" and the rats" in both
the contending parties.
The hoteILigencer assails the Mes
sage, almost savagely, as Demo-
cratic stump speech in defense of
the action of the party in reference
to the School Fund, which has
been so severely criticised by Re-
publicans.
And of course, wherein the InteH-
agencer condemns, the Register es-
peclally commends the Message, as
Glowing by official figures the in
Je.stice of Republican criticisms.
We take it that independent pa
trlots are not likely to spend much
time in intricate search after the
true "inwardness' of this question,
to see which party has been the
nearest right, or most wrong. The
splain facts seem to be that both
parties borrowed a little from the
children's school money, when they
got hard up; but if both pay back
with interest, we don't see that
the children need cry about it.
