About sixty million copies of THE SUN have

twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col

Will They Submit ?

AS the time approaches for the
meeting of the State Conventions
of the two leading political parties
in West Virginia, interest increas-
es as to what recognition will be
accorded the people who have long
been demanding that Prohibitory
Amendment to. the State Consti-
tuition shall be.submitted to vote
of the people.
Both of these conventions will be
asked to say by their platforms, not
that they favor prohibition, or that
they are opposed to- the liquor traf-
fic, but simply this; that in obedi-
ence to numerous petitions and in
conformity with o very general de
sire existing throughout the State,
the question: of prohibition ought
to be submitted to a vote of the
people; that the People have a
right to amend their Constitution
in that respect or not, as they see
fit, and in their sovereign capacity
as voters they have a right is ex-
press their Will at the polls.

A CARD.
From the State Temperance Elk
ecutive Committee.

10 the t7'2endS OF the FREEMAN:
At the late meeting of the State
Temperance Convention, held at
Parkersburg, the W. VA FREEMAN
was again heartily endorsed, and
as a su bstantial mark Of apprecia-
ton, over six hundred dollars was
then and there raised in cash and
pledges toward a fund for putting
the paper on better financial ba-
sis, and for the purpose of extend
ing the scope Of its influence and
increasing it's efficiency.
1t is now proposed TO increase
this fund to an amount sufficient
to enable the FREEMAN properly
to do its great work.
An arrangement has been made
with Prof. A. L. Purinton to spend
a few weeks in the near future in
securing from the friends of the
paper the necessary funds for this
purpose. May we not hope that
he will be cordially received, and
that the money may be readily OBJ
tanned? WeE eRFe2Ff
A few facts should be recognized :
l. The FREEMAN directly and in
directly has done more than any
other agency in the State to devel-
op healthy public sentiment in
favor of Prohibition.
2. The subscription patronage
has not sbeen what it ought to have
been, for the proper support Of the
paper, when we consider the large
amount ofpurely missionary work
the paper has been doing.
From the first an edition of one
thousand copies, then two thous-
and,and forsome months past three
thousand copies weekly, and some
times even larger editions have
been issued, large proportion of
which have been gratuitously dis
tributed broadcast throughout the
State.
3. The paper has done an i'm
mense amount of work for the
State Executive Committee, for
which the Committee has not been
able to render any compensation.
Large extra editions and many ex-
ira copies, containing calls, circu-
lars and other papers issued by the
Committee, have been sent out, thus
enabling the Committee to reach
the people and lay its work before
them. Indeed, the work of the
Committee necessarily would have
been very limited but for this me-
dunn of communication rta ~.

1t were a most profitable stu d
to compare and contrast the make
up, and proceedings of the several
conventions recently held in Park
ersburg. Ieo 10 seyssis ad' 7sgo
2A And that we may "catch the
point" at once, let us first indulge
in little magic Of imaginative
transposition-Let us have the
Court House Conventions change
place with the Conventions held
at the Baptist Church. This will
bring out the contrast as perhaps
nothing else would. We are very
sure it would put a great many
people in church that were never
there before, and at the same time
bring great many good men and
noble women to the Court House
that seldom if ever have business
there.
Please, now, remember the
change. The church is crowded
with the political clans, the parti-
IAN leaders and bitter contestants,
pulling" "hauling" and "roping
in" every possible Striker" and
ahelper." The pulpit is filed with
the local lights Of the party, puff
ing at their cigars, and watching
every turn and motion of the ma
chine, so as to make the most of ev-
cry point of vantage ground gained
in the interest of this aspirant to
the discontinue Of that. 8eE
q The district delegations are
grouping and "carroling" them
selves together throughout the
church in clouds of tobacco smoke
and fumes of beer, with political
lieutenants struggling to carry the
delegates in favor of the chooses"
whom they have chosen to serve.
The vestibule, gallery and all
available space is packed with a
motley crowd Of nondescript "par-
ty-hangers-on,' all wrought up to
the highest pitch, each yelling for
his man. and betting on the trick
that will win in the game.
And SO all is chatter and clamor,
confusion and pandemonium till
the convention is called to order.
1t there be a close contest be-
tween contending factions, the
fight comes on at the organization
of the convention. AS the select
ed leaders of of the con testing par
ties are named, the church roof
seems to be lifted by the prolonged
yells and roars Of the opposing
clans. The voting proceeds; a de-
cision is finally reached, and as the
chairman is known and the organ
izations perfected, sosis the rest. Of
the work of the convention forecast,
and the clans know of the results
before they are announced.
Well go now to the Court House
with the Temperance Conventions.
The Judges stand is filled with
honored ministers of the Gospel,
and noble Christian women. - The
space inside the, railing is filled
with earnest Temperance workers,
