VICTORY AGAIN.
Kansas Prohibition Stands Firm.

Every attack made upon the
Prohibitory amendment to the
Kansas Constitution has failed
thus far. The latest attempt to
have it declared unconstitutional
on the ground that it contained
provisions which were in the
nature of class legislation, and,
therefore, in contravention of the
Federal Constitution, has met with
the usual disaster. The direction
taken this time was by a motion
to remove suits against five
saloon keepers for violating the
law from the State Court to the
United STATES Circuit Court. The
motion was denied, however, by
Judge David Martin, before whom
the case was argued, and decision
rendered sustaining the validity
of the Prohibitory law in every
particular This will probably end
attacks in that direction for some
time to come. The Kansas Prohi-
bitionists, undou btedly, built well,
in legal sense, when they framed

WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN
Come Out from the Old Parties
and vote for Prohibition.

Ed. FREEMAN: We are pleased
to notice the large gains in the
Prohibition Party in one year, and
that they are coming out from the
old parties, not dreading the crack
of the party lash, as was the case
10 years ago. Whisky rings and
rings of political tricksters have
ruled the old parties until candid
men are Disguised and are asking
for something better. The wisest
statesmen, the ablest judges, the
truest patriots, the purest philan-
thropists, are dropping into the
ranks of the Prohibitionists. Such
men can be trusted to manage the
affairs OF this government in safety.
Government has no legitimate
function but in the good of the
governed. 1t should carry bless
ings to the individuals, The family,
society, and the nation. But the
Rum Power has degraded it to the
purpose of perpetuating this giant
evil. The cry of keeping morality,
temperance and religion out of pol
itics, has deceived men, till alas
as a nation we are on the way to
national ruin. This cry was rails
ed first by the liquor men. Like
the man possessed with devils,
who saw Christ coming. They
knew him and cried out. Liquor
men can see that the Lord is lead
ing the Temperance army, and
they fear and cry aloud for the
Church to let the matter alone.
The devil will never destroy his
own work. So if the church don't
suppress this great evil, the Devils
work of destruction will 60 on, de-
stroying men who otherwise would
fill high positions, instead of
drunkard's graves. Is is not time
as men who love their cOuntry's
good, that we unite our forces and
make war against the great dragon ?
We should not throw away our
votes by casting them into the
great sea of partisan strife about Of
fees and spoils, but we should be
true to our HONEST convictions in
casting our ballots. We should
think of our obligations to our
children, who are in such danger
from the liquor traffic, and of our
responsibility to God, 1t is His
will that when q thing ceases to be
useful, it shall pass away. If the
old parties promise us no relief
from the alarming evils of poison
Gus drinks, they must fall as being
insr tticient to meet the great prob
lem Of the day.
Preaching, praying, singing,
talking won't bring Prohibition,
but v6ting will. AS freemen voting,
not for party but for society, for
country and humanity, we will see
the salvation of God in the deliv-
erance of the people from the curses
Of the Rum power.
