States, and apologists of the bust.
ness are to be found in every cir
Gle.
The most damaging thing the
State can do, results from indlfer-
ence to seemingly small matters.
For instance, a saloon keeper is
selling liquor to drunkard, and, Las
a result, the man is killed or drown
ed. In that case life is destroyed
and a soul sent to perdition. Who
can repair that wrong, or who can
restore that life and rescue that
soul?
The saloon keeper cannot, and
the State cannot. 1t is irreparable.
This will always be true. But is
the death of man small matter ?
The State seems to think SO. What
pity! The conscience and intel
ligence Of each man forms a part of
the life of the State, but the natu-
raj and legal enemy Of this IS the
licensed saloon. There is no way
by which the manhood Of the State
and the saloon can be preserved at
the same time and in the same
place.
The law makers of the various
States know this. Owing to the
number of cities and large towns in
Ohio, legislation on this subject is
mainly, if not entirely, moulded by
these cities and towns.
Each OF these cities and towns is
a moral cancer, infested with sa-
loon keepers. They are there, so
as to be nearer the greatest number
of people. The GUNNER" element
in the two political parties has
been ruling these parties by COM
bining and uniting on candidates
without respect to party. This
has been great evil, but may cure
itself, as under the stress of bad
government combinations are
forming to prevent the permanent
success of the corrupt and unprin-
cipled servants Of the saloon.

The Friends Speak.

The Ohio yearly meeting of
Friends has just closed, and the
following resolutions were passed
without dissenting voice. They
strike no uncertain note:
A very great per cent of the
crime and misery in our country
is chargeable directly or indirectly
to the traffic in alcoholic liquor.
Home and Church are menaced ;
the sanctity of the Christian Sab
bath is desecrated and denied; and
the. perpetuity of our civil institu-
tons is endangered.
And while we would recommend
the persistent use of moral means
in combating this terrible iniqui-
ty, the history of past efforts in this
direction teaches us their INSULT
cheney.
We are opposed to any system of
license or taxation, because any
such system is compromise with
sin, and not only provides tor the
continuance of the traffic, but also
makes US partners in its profits
and it's results.
We favor personal abstinence
from all intoxicants, and the en-
actmont and enforcement of con-
Constitutional and Statutory laws
abolishing the traffic, and we are
fully convinced that such enact
ment and enforcement will be eff
fected only by party that shall
openly avow Prohibition as fun
damental principle-Nea0 Era.

WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN
A Granddaughter Speaks.

Our good Bro. Jacobs, of the
Wellsburg Herald, has been serv-
ing the United States as Grand
Juryman, and here is his testimony
as clipped from the Herald:
"After an experience of six days
as q United States grand juror in
,vestigating into the violations of
United States laws in the district
of West Virginia and in the inyesti-
cation of good many charges we
can say, that Of them all, there was
not single one but had its origin
directly in intoxicating liquor and
in every instance without excep-
ton, the crime alleged or commit
ted had connection in some shape
or other with fermented or alcoholic
drinks. So far as appeared, had
there been no beer, whisky or al
cohol in use in the district, there
would have been no business what
ever for grand jury at this term"
