A NEW DEPARTURE.

An Anti-Saleon Republican conference
is to be held in Chicago September 10.
While the call is not addressed to Demo
Gratis, it has received great deal of at
tention from the Democratic press of
the country. Perhaps it should excite
no surprise that anything belonging to
the Democratic party should have no
sympathy with any movement in the
name of temperance that does not have
a. It's principal effect the advancement Of
Democracy. The Democratic press has
much to say in favor of prohibition, but
nothing in favor of this movement.
On the contrary. there are columns de-
nouncing it as more stratsgem-a trap
set to catch votes.
The leader of the movement, Mr.. Al
bert Griffin, of Kansas, has been premi~
nently identified with prohibition in
til q. State. and, as one Of the severest
prosecutors of violators Of the Prohibi-
ton law, had peculiar opportunities for
forming an opinion as to the final re-
suit of compulsory temperament such
q thing can be. His position may be
fairly taken as illustrating the views of
thousands of Others who are Prohibi.
tionists because Of the fact that hereto.
fore there has been no aggressive politi.
cal temperance movement except Prohi-
bition. but who would gladly exchange
it's methods for more reasonable and
moderate ideas. At the same time 1t
may reasonably be expected to attract
the great majority of the party whe are
in sympathy with temperance reform,
but who would never consent to adop,
Prohibition measures. 1t is movsmen,
which it would be impossible to organize
and to carry forward in the Democratic
party, but one which majority Of lead
ing Republicans have expressed theil
sympathy with and approval Of.
Mr.. Griffin states the object IS follows
'"The promoters Of the movement ar
earnest temperance men whe believe
that Is the Democratic party has become
the protector of the saloon interest thu
Republican party ought IS . matter Of
right. to be the champion and defender
of the home against the saloon. TIT
party should not be asked to commit
itself nationally to any specific law, bu
should announce as it, settled policy tia
it will everywhere strive to reduce tn
business of dramshops and the evil
resulting from 1t Is much ~ possible
each state to decide for itself what law
are best adapted to secure the end il
vlew."
There is NO escape from the conclusion
that the temperance sentiment 10 lncreas
ing throughout the country. Judiciou
measures for the promotion of tenn
perance must become great nationa
issues. It Is perfectly natural that tn
Republican party should seek to RICH
itself with the current, and, IS the part!
which owes it's existence IN the first plac
to ito championship of the greatest re
form in the history Of the country
