The Religious Press Aiding and
Abetting the Enemy.

The meanest and most effectual
treason is that that quietly aids
and abets the enemy, while profess
ing loyalty to the home forces.
The following in the Herald and
Presbyter, of Cincinnati, is full of
just that sort of treason, though ev-
identity not SO intended. This ex-
cellent ard able Presbyterian PAPER
is quoted by the whisky journals as
saying this:
eff men want to deal in intoxi
eating beverages, and will do it,
and prohibition will not prohibit.
why should not Prohibitionists &C.
cept the situation and license or
tax and regulate the traffic? 1t is
true that no man has right to put
the bottle to his neigh boris mouth,
and make him drunk, but if they
do it, and we cannot help it, let
them pay for it. Taxation will
probably not diminish drunkenness
but it will diminish other peoples
taxes, and that will be acceptable"
Now just imagine the pernicious
influence of such fallacious and fa-
tai argument under the respecta-
BILE heading Of "a Religious Papers
Views" as we find it going the
rounds Of the press!
Such abominable teaching is far
below the level Of sound morals,
and certainly should have no place
in the pulpit or religious press.
What would be thought of a
preacher who would say from his
pulpit: Well, if these brethren
au5U gamble and desecrate the Sab
bath, and we can't help it, let them
pay for 1t. Taxing them heavily
to support the church may not di-
minish sin and wickedness, but it
will lessen the demands for money
on the rest of the brethren, "and
that will be acceptable?"
Out upon such despicable trea-
son! The very thought of such a
proposition is revolving to every
idea of morality and religion. And
the principle is just as revolving to
honesty in politics as it is to piety
in religion.

Where the Laugh Comes In.

The Ohio Democrats will not al
low their candidate for Governor to
engage in joint debate with Leon
ard, his Prohibition opponent, and
have declined the latter's chal-
lenge. A little while ago they
were sneering at Foraker, the Re-
publican candidate, for declining a
similar challenge, but it is time for
them now to laugh at the other
end of their mouths.-Phila. Press.
In the above case we can't see
where the laugh comes in, for Ell
Their Republicans or Democrats.
AS the matter stands, the Prohibi-
ton boys have all the laughing on
their side.
While the Prohibition David is
plying his sling, the whisky Coli
aths of both the old parties seem to
be on wild run for the woods.
They dare not face him.

EXCHANGE NOTES.

Our old home friend, the Tyler
Star, has changed hands. Our long
time genial Bro. Smith, steps down
gracefully and full of honors, and
Mr.. K. S. Foreman skips up the ed
itorial horizon, and leaping astride
his newly acquired Star, proclaims
his kindly salutations to waiting
world. We heartily welcome Bro.
Foreman to the wealth and honors
of West Virginia journalism.
Messrs. J. V. & M. B. Henderson
propose to, issue the Coal Valley
Hornet, beginning Sept. 18th.
What its special sting will be we
are not advised. If it punctures
the Coal Valley Saloons, it will do
good service.

Gambling and Drinking.

Because of the vast amount of
gambling and lottery wheel swind-
ling on the Fair Grounds at Wheel
ing last year, the managers have
been compelled to announce that
no gambling will be allowed this
year.
Now if they will go a wholesome
step further and say there shall be
no public beer-selling and beer
drinking on the grounds, then will
decent people feel free and anxious
to 60 with their families, and so
help to swell the crowds, and help
on the enterprise.
Gambling and drinking go to-
gether, and if the latter is admitted
the former will be there.

CONSISTENCY.

The editor of the Huntington
Argus complains loudly because of
the murderous cutting and shoot
ing ARRAYS in that city.
1t would be easier to give the
Argus credit for sincerity in it's
complaints if it did not do so much
to encourage such lawlessness by
it's saloon advertising. To be con-
sistent, the Argus must either quit
advertising liquor or quit COM
planning because the liquor works
out it's natural results.

''NOt by Night nor by Power"

Some few papers which are sup
posed to be in favor of Prohibition
are spending a great deal more time
in constructing awe-inspiring esti-
mates of the strength Of the liquor
traffic, than in efforts to subdue it.
1t is sufficient for us to know
that it is strong enough to require
the very best efforts of all who can
be enlisted against it.
Further than that, we do not feel
like spending much time in calcu-
lations. No possible amount of
strength which the traffic can mus
ter would be a legitimate excuse
for any one to refuse to enter the
contest against it. "Not by might
nor by power, but by my Spirit,
saith the Lord"

PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Charleston, Sept. %.

Now, Brethren, come along! We
are commanded by our irrepressi-
BILE President, of the State Journal,
to meet in Charleston, Sept. I'D, to
devise measures for getting the
world into better shape during the
next year. 1t is hoped that every
editor and every man in the State
with symptoms of being an editor,
will be present.
The Charleston Brethren are on
the alert, and will see that we are
properly petted and exhibited.
Let every paper in West Virgin.
la be represented in this impor-
tant meeting.

The Difference.

DR.. Bayliss, according to the
newspaper reports of his remarks
in the Cincinnati Conference, finds
some difficulty in distinguishing
between Political Prohibition and
the other kind.
The distinction is just about this !;
political Prohibition wants to pro-
hibit moe0, and the other kind wants
to wait until every body quits
drinking and the saloonists all go
out of the business.

sponsibi,ity at the judgment day,
we will leave that to the Court
that is in session when that day
comes about"
Now, the Editor of the Journal
is neither an infdel nor an athe-
list, but a good Presbyterian, and
would never be guilty of such a
thing as putting off the RESPONSE
bility for the traffic until the Judg-
ment Day. No, no, the Editor
himself was surely not at home
when that article in Fridays Jour-
nal was written.
The writer of the article further
says: GAS to the State making
money out of the liquor traffic, we
have just this to say" and then
says just nothing at all about it,
but runs off in another direction.
But then that is the way they all
do. We never saw an advocate OF
license or taxation yet, who could
stand up squarely and face the
question as to how the State can
be right in making money in a
way which is admitted by all to be
wrong in an individual. They all
dodge when it comes to that.

Mike Ryan, Bob Callahan, and a
couple of others entered under the
influence of liquor. Mart McGinty
who had cut Ryan seven years be-

old quarrel was renewed. After
considerable bad language on both
sides, Ryan and McGinty clinched.
AS they came together McGinty
drew knife. George Cox separa-
ted them and put Ryan out. Nc

clinched and were separated, It
was then found that Ryan had re-

THE BISHOP WILL WONDER.

Bishop Merrill has written very
strong and logical argument tor
Prohibition, which closes with a
very weak and illogical argument
against party action to secure it.
We presume the Bishop will be
somewhat disconnected by the fact
that the Com. Gazette has publish
ed his article in full, together with
the speech of the notorious anti
Prohibitionist, Thomas McDougal,
as campaign documents. No one
will question the sincerity of the
eminent divine in the views which
he advances, but we imagine his
faith will be very much shaken
when he sees his arguments ap-
proved and circulated by the whis-
ky press. The Bishop will wonder
when he sees his Prohibition doc
ument issuing from saloon club
rooms

Words of Cheer.

West Virginia is sending out
workers into new sections. The
State organ, the West Virginia
FREEMAN, is finding its way as an
educator into every habitable
mountain nook and valley home,
1t strikes with fearless hand at
the plotters of iniquity, exposes the
leaders of the rum traffic, and
pleads the cause of the helpless vic
TINS. May it go on and prosper?

of the coming for a months work,

Aggressive Work Assured.

The Parkersburg W. c. T. u,
feeling the need of earnest and per-
sistent work in the juvenile de-
partment, decided at its last meet
ing to secure paid Superintend-
ent for this work. Miss Bette
Devol has fortunately been secured
for the position.
The spirit manifested at the
meeting gave assurance of more
earnest and aggressive work than
ever before.

RecOmpensing Evil.

Whenever we become persuaded
that the State should reimburse
the counterfeiter for his spurious
coin, the burglar for his tools,
and the murderer for his dagger,
then, and not till then, will we
think it the duty of the State to
reimburse the liquor dealers, in
case of the adoption of Prohibition.

The Journal Takes Up the Gaunt-
let and Takes to the Woods.

kCU w WIZ w OoNos
In recent issue the State Journal
took us to task for some comments
on Ohio politics,in connection with
our exposure of Mr.. McDougals
sophistical defense Of the Scott law,
and as it went on to express It's ad-
miration of the virtues of this de-
funct progeny of the Republican
party of Ohio, whose demise bro't
out SO much partisan Grape, we
ventured in last weeks FREEMAN
to ask the JoarmaI to explain some
things about that same lamented
Scott Law.
Judging from the Journals reply,
the editor must have been away
from home.
The answer begun by citing Nc
Douglas figures to show that the
law reduced the number of saloons.
Considering that the discussion
grew out of the FREEMAN's expos
ure of the falsity of those very fig
ures, our readers will see at once,
the absurdity of bringing them in
as evidence. We don't believe the
Editor himself would have done it.
He knows too much about law to
summon a witness to testify in
case where the very question at is
sue is the veracity of that self-same
witness,
After giving Mr.. McDougaps fig
ures, the Journal asks us to read
the article in full us found in the
Com. Gazette. This request comes
late, as we read the demagogical
dissertation carefully when it ap-
peared, and fully exposed its false
hoods and fallacies in the FREEMAN
of August Goth, under the caption,
"Figures Never Lie" but People
often Lie with Figures-McDoug-
al, for instance"
Had our Brother read this expos
ure carefully, he had been saved
much bother.
The Journal gravely says: enc
Douglas figures are unquestiona-
bly, correct, as he is reliable,a thor
ough, practical Temperance advo-
cate," &c. This we deny. We have
shown him not to be reliable; and
he never was a practical Temper
ance advocate" In every contest
he is found on the whisky side, as
he was in his violent opposition to
the Second Amendment.
Again, the Editor knows too
much about Ohio politics to sup
pose, as the Journal asserts, that
the prime object of the Scott Law
was to restrain the traffic, and not
to raise revenue from it. One of
the chief counts in the Indictment
which the Republicans Of Ohio
bring against the Democrats in the
present campaign, is the aban-
Comment of a revenue of $2,000,-

Free Lecture Bureau
Sow the Seed and Organize
for the Harvest

The w. C. T. U. of West Virgin
ia have quietly worked up course
of Free Lectures for the Fall and
Winter in the interest of the COM
mon cause in our State.
And now that they command an
array of talent that any community
will be glad to have, they desire to
make public notice through the
FREEMAN, and invite correspond
ence and applications from all parts
of the State.
The Promised Lectures.
Among the we'll known speak
ers who have already responded to
solicitations, and promised from
two to ten lectures each, we are
permitted to name the following :
Mrs. Caroline B. Buell., Of New
York, DR., J. E, Smith, and Homo,
W. Atkinson, of Wheeling, Hon.
T. R. Carskadon, Mr.. Frank Burt,
Rev. w. P. Walker, Rev. J. W.
Carter, Rev. T. c. Johnson, &c.
Other prominent speakers have
been and will be solicited, and will
doubtless respond as favorably.
Woman as a Political Fac
tor.
DR.. Smith, of Wheeling, has con-
sented to deliver his already ma
tionally celebrated lecture, "Wo-
man as a Political Factor" at Park
ersburg and Huntington, on his
way to Conference. Huntington
friends will be notified of exact
date, and announcement made in
next FIRE EMAN.
Let Us Hear From You.
Now, friends, make arrange
ments, and let us hear from you.
Here is a rare opportunity to furth-
err the good cause in your commu-
nifty at the small outlay of the
speakers actual expense for travel
and entertainment. So that where
you can furnish conveyance and
take the speaker to your homes,
there'll be no expense at all.
Make your arrangements, two,
three or four weeks in advance, SO
that appointments can be publish
ed through the FREEMAN, and well
advertised generally.
Let US hear from you, and let us
have a campaign, this Fall, cleo
ton or no election. Let US SOW
the seed and organize for the COM
ING harvest.
