Modern Politics.

The Waynesburg Independent of
last week, has two-column edito-
rial under heading as above, that
excoriates with terrible vigor the
shameless use of whisky and mon
ey at the recent Congressional pri-
mary election. The extent to
which the voters were debauched
and bribed in this partisan strug-
gle for a party nomination, would
be disgrace to a party of canni.

Such is political "sin when it
is finished" and such is the legit-
innate course Of politics when the
Saloon becomes the motor and di-
rector of policies and plans. There
is never any such trouble as the
Independent depicts in a Prohibi.

reformed and purified. The Saloon

Every Christian body in Ohio
has repudiated and denounced the
Scott Law, and the Supreme Court
of both parties decided it unconsti-
tutional and political trick. And
yet the Journal and Messenger sets
it down as "evidence of an
advance in public sentiment" that

The Herald's Joking or POut-
ing.

The Herald, since its existence
began, has opened its columns to
the cause of Prohibition. But be-
cause it also works for the success
of party-the party which gave
to Maine and Iowa their Prohlbl-
ton laws-is sufficient cause for
The FREEMAN to attack us
Wellsburg Herald.
Now, surely the Herald's either
joking or pouting. Why, THE
FREEMAN never attacked anybody
in the world, and wouldn't for
anything. 1t has afectionately
reproved the Herald for such mon
umental nonsense as talking about
Prohibition being "a moral and
not political question:" and it is
great pity it doesn't take to good
advice more kindly.
The Herald needs a guardian
whenever it talks about Temper
ance matters, and because The
FREEMAN has offered its kind Off
ces to keep it out Of trouble, it gets
mad and pouts at us for "attacking
it,"
Now, for instance, just see the
predica ment it jumps into in the
above remark, all for lack of a
prompter. The Herald in the
same sentence declares it works
for the success" of both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties. For
every informed political school
boy knows it was a Democratic
Legislature and Governor that gave
Maine her Prohibition law, while
Republicans gave Iowa hers.
The Herald shouldn't roam about
so in the past. 1t gets confused
and lost. Let it stay in the pres
ent and say whether it works mow
for the success of a party that is moaO
in favor of giving us, hepeople, the
"Prohibition laws" we want.
Will the Herald tell its readers
whether it 1,oaO works fer a party
that is mow in favor of Prohibi-
