BosToN, July ;5.--Sam Jones and
Sam Small addressed immense audi
ences to-day at Lake Walden, in the
town of Concord, where the hermit
Thoreau once muscd alone. The
subject was temperance. Sam Jones
said in his speech, referring to the
question of prohibition In politics:
"Wen, now, brothers, I'll say this
to you. We never should let politics
mix up with, the temperance cause
and prohibition movement in the
south. We just mix prohibition with
politics. Do you get the idea9
Laughter.] Here, instead Of let
ting a candidate ride into power on
us, we harnessed up some reform
Democrat or Republican, who has
been converted and joined the Pro-
hlbltion party, and we rode him into
power [loud laughter and riding
beats walking, there is no doubt
about that. Laughter You go
down to Georgia now, and fellow
announces himself for the legisla-
ture, or for judge, or for anything.
About the first line under his name
he says: Il am square out on the
prohibition question: Istand quare
ON that issue;' and l tell you all to-
day that prohibition mixed with pol
itics will help politics, but God bless
you, don't you put any politics in
your prohibition. If you do your
gone. Laughaer. You see Iputl
sugar in my coffee to help my coffee,-
but if you put coffee in your sugar
your sugar is ruined. Renewed
laughter. .fsz =
"When you go to vote against
whisky, you just vote the plain issue
straight out, and then when you can
poll enough votes on that question to
show the politicians that you mean
business, the next thing. you hear
the politicians will do anything you
want done. That's a fact. But yon
go now and try to run in your pro-
hibition candidate. Why, every
Democrat in this county has got
his sleeves rolled up for the fight,
and the Republicans have got their
sleeves rolled up and they are ready
for the fight. I'll tell you just ex-
actly how the two parties stand to-
day. The Democratic party is
a-straddle of barrel of whisky, and
the Republican party is a-straddIe of
beer keg. That's fact, and it is
jast nip and tuck now which is going
to get into the presidency every four
years : whether the beer keg will get
in, or the whisky barrel. You see,
now, l would pray; Great God,
give New England grlt;. give her
courage to stand up like
men on this ISSUE Applause.
That little Malone, of Virginia, he
only weighs about ninety five pounds,
and some fellow asked him what ne
weighed. He said, i only weigh
ninety-fve pounds, but ninety pounds
of that is solid backbone. Laugh
4er.I Well, now, that is just ex-
aetly what we need, about 50 per
cent. backbone, when we go into a
fight like this. Brethren, if there is
anything despise it is a coward.
A man says, Il am going to take no
sides You little puppy, you. l
would have called you dog, and
been done with you, but you amt
grown yet. Laughter I am not
going to take any sides. Well, now
I'll say this-this IS an issue upon
which every man must make decis-
ION, every true man. If yon have 9
little light cotton string in your back,
with rib or two knit to it, and call
that your backbone, you must. Great
laughter.
II say another thing. In every
conquest of morals and good gov
ernment and right in the. past, wher.
ever God close leader Of that move
ment, God always chose a man who
was game from head to foot. Goo
himself despises a coward. You rec
ollect when Joshua met the. enemy
and pressed on him and they fought
hot and heavy all day long, and fin
ally when Joshua saw the sun going
! down on him and said: Lord God
if you will but put the brakes on th'
old sun and stop her fSi q rev hours
i I'll gain victory over thine enemies
that will last forever. = God told tn
old sun to lag back on the dial-plat'
and Don't you move an inch til
| Joshua gets victory Laughter
and Joshua went into the battle ant
pushed the battle until he secured
victory that has made him famou

present hour. That consecrate,
