Is This an Eagle !

The Grafton EggLe scratches
among the campaign rubbish of the
State Journals columns and clutch,
ing in its claws the false state
ment of the Journal about Capt.
Smiths giving the casting vote
"abolishing Saloons" and assaying
to flop itself aloft, screams out its
venom about like Johnson and
Dave" and the $50 other men who
were as big fools as they were"
&C., in voting Prohibition ticket.
On what manner of Republican
meat doth this Eagle feed that it
feels called on to denounce as
fools" such Republican ministers
of the Gospel, as Revs. R. A. Hit,
J. W. Carter, W. E. Powell, A.
M. Thomas, H. G. Pierce and others,
and such old time Republican citi-
zens as S. L. Gould, G, W. Rowland,
w. B. Caswell, Barna Powell and
others whose only fault in the eyes
of the party bosses, is that they
have conscience8 and will not bow
to the saloons in obedience to party
commands?
But is this an Eagle after all :?
Judging from its demagoglcal
cackle and presumptuous strutting,
one might readily mistake it for
simply little "Banty" rooster of
the old time stock, scratching
political grubs on the dung hills in
the old partisan barn-yard; with
not respectable hen in its baili-
wick.
If it really be an eagle let it
prove its right to the patriotic
name. Let it soar aioft on high
moral principle, and get out of that
low down partisan barn-yard.
Yes, by all means, let US have a
soar.

Put No Rebels on Guard.

The impudent and open rebel
lion of certain Iowa Mayors in their
refusal to enforce the Prohibition
law, has caused a bill to be intro
duced into the Legislature, max
ing it the duty of the Governor to
remove from office any Mayor who
refuses to enforce the law.
The bill ought to pass. Should
any official be tolerated who open
ly defes the laws of the State, en-
acted by ths sovereign people? AS
W ell might an army have the enc
my in charge of its stores and trait
ors at the heads Of divisions
and brigades, as the State have
rebels in positions of honor and
trust. Let the Prohibition watch
word go forth, Put no rebels on guard.

Soft Words No Use.

Some of our exchanges are max
ing it hot for the rumseller, nota-
bly, the Clarksburg Telegram. Pour
the hot shot into them, brother
Hustead. They deserve it. 1t is
one of the curses of our country
that needs to be dealt with severe
ly.- Wayne Advocate.
The Advocate is very right, Soft
words are of no more use in fight
ing the Liquor Traffic, than paper
wads would be against Gibralter.

After his Rights.
A SaIoonkeeper attempts to AsSa88i-
nate a Judge.

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. 13.-Joseph
J Dou3ch, an ex-saloon keeper of
this city, who removed to Reading
to engage in the same business and
returned to Lancaster q few days
ago, made an attempt to assassinate
Judge John B. Livingstone, Presi-
dent of the Lancaster Courts, this
morning. He entered the Judges
Office and pointed pistol, but was
thrown down aud disarmed by the
Judge. He was afterwards com.
mitted to prison. Dousch has been
drinking heavily, and was aggriev-
ed because the Court refused to IL
cense his saloon.
And now we may expect to hear
some more Of these hypocritical,
political, parasitical towards boo
hoo-ing around, crying out, ooh!
we can't do anything with Them
they're bound to sell whisky any
how; we'd better give 'em license
or they'll Kill all our Judges!"

More RailrOads-Less Whisky .

The FREEMAN is emphatically
for more railroads and less whisky.
For every mile of railroad built in
West Virginia, we want saloon
abolished, and we want 800 miles
of railroad in West Virginia in the
next II months.
In this connection, we call at
tention to the three Election No.
tees in this issue, for Parkersburg,
Lubbock and Harris Districts in
this county. We believe the peo-
pie ought to furnish the right of
way for the Ohio River Railroad.
We are assured it will pay them
to do it,

New Jersey Mad Dogs.

The mad dog epidemic in New
Jersey seems to have no ending
A few days ago six-year-old son
of Samuel Apologize, a farmer near
New Brunswick, was seized with
robies, and after terrible convul-
sions from Thursday till Sunday
death ende ed the poor chiId's suffer
ings. It had been bitten by RAD
id dog twenty-one days before, but
the parent not knowing the dog

aroused, and are fast adopting the
policy of canine Prohibition IN tna'
country.

A Silly Mess.

The silliest mess we have met
for long time is in late issue Of
the Religious Cleaner, over the
impudently appropriated signature
of "Truth Seeker" 1t pretends to
be an article against Prohibition,
whereas it is simply a demons
tration of the unfortunate fact that
scribbling idiots are at large.
To show we are not extravagant,
we quote few paragraphs:
~ will give you some more
Scripture-"Be obedient to the
powers that be-" "When you are
caviling about the law being
wrong are you obedient to the
powers that be?"
*'|"We are commanded to leave
off old women's fables, and if this
prohibition tallal is not old women's
fables, as it was commenced by old
women and like begets like"
But we forbear, as the editor, Bro.
Bedford appends a note saying he
will put dynamite under the
article in his next issue.

Stills vs.. Fruit EyaporatOrs.

The Raleigh County Inder has a
column editorial under the above
significant heading, in which the
editor ably urges the abandonment
of the former for the latter by
Raleigh county farmers, showing
how vastly better it would be for
the morals, health and financial
interests of the people to dry their
fruit, use and sell it for food, than
to make it into brandy to curse
themselves and their neighbors.
Would that the entire press of the
State would take up this dis
cussion and arouse the people to
one universal cry of, Doaon with
stills and saloons that destroy our
substance, and give US wholesome
fruits and bread to eat

State Journal.
We find in an old Book written
many hundred years ago little
story that reads as follows:
and he (Elisha) went up from
thence unto Bethel, and as he was
going up by the way, there came
forth little children out of the city,
and Knocked him and said unto
him, Go up thou bald head; 60 up
thou bald head. And he turned
back and looked on them and
cursed them ir the name of the
Lord. And there came forth two
she-bears out of the wood, and tare
forty and two children of them" y
II Kings, 2 Chap, 1924 verses.
Now we are not prophet, nor
the son of prophet" and have
neither the authority nor desire to
turn around and Course" these bad
boys for calling US names" We
simply want to remind their
anxious mothers that there are
bears about yet, and there's no
telling what might happen,

Silly Partisan Twaddle.

Is there a sane man anywhere,
acquainted with Parkersburg, who
believes there are only fitty.eight
temperance people or Prohibition
lists in that city? We beg to say
that we know there are many hun
dreds, but they do not believe In
making Prohibition a political IN
stead of a moral issue. Grafton
Eagle.
Yes, there are hundreds here in
Parkersburg just as inconsistent
and many Just az silly as the editor
of the Eagle writes himself down
in the above paragraph. They
will pirate about being as good
Temperance men and Prohibition
lists as anybody and go straight to
the polls at every petty local cleo
ton and vote for the saloons, every
time.
We use the term "silly" advisad-
ly, for it is a truism that no man
in the healthy exercise Of practical
common sense, can put forth such
nonsense as the above about not
believing ''in making Prohibition a
political instead of a moral issue
There isn't West Virginia School
boy in all the 81 counties, that has
passed his a-b-abs, that hasn't more
gun1ption than to talk about max
ing Prohibition a moral issue.
Prohibition means law; law
means the acts of Councils and
Legislatures and the enforcement
of law, means the acts of faithful
officers and legislators and officers
are elected by the people; and this
means conventions, campaigns
and elections, and all this is politics
and nothing but politics. And
80 it is that Prohibition means poll
tics. A Prohibition issue is a pollti-
cal issue, and has nothing to do
with morals, except as it effects
morals incidentally. 1t is astonish-
ing that men of brains and COM
mon sense will keep these rare fac
ulties and gifts in allegiance and
thrust forth such silly twaddle
about keeping Prohibition out of
politics." Prohibition is the very
essence of modern politics, and
will continue SO to be till Prohibi-
ton triumphs over all petty parti-
IAN demagogy, the saloons and the
Devil.

The Cant of towards.

ne Time lOr hOneyed PHRASES IN
the Temperance reform is past.
The time for calling things by
their right names is at hand. The
policy of petting and coaxing the
Liquor Traffic to "be good" has
long since Disguised all practical
reformers and philan thropists, and
the rallying cry is already sounding
forth from lakes 10 gulf and from
sea to sea-Dovn Nth the saloons!
A,Oay Nth the whole meurderous
business!
And yet we are met on every
hand with the puerile, weakling
cry of moral cowards, eve can't
stop it'-''They will sell in spite Of
US" awe know it is q baroarous
and lawless traffic, numbering our
neighbors aud leading our children
to ruin, destroying our homes,
breaking the hearts of our women,
and spreading desolation, want,
woe and death eyerywhere-but
We CONT help it They mill sell, and
We might as we'll get little re-
venue out of it" Array Nth such
miserable cowardice!
There is no cant" in all the
lexicons so mean and contemplate
as the "can't" of moral towards.
What are we here for, but to try
to do the right and oppose the
wrong-to defend our homes and
protect our families, to lift up the
fallen, strengthen the weak and
secure the safety Of the rising
generation?
1t is our fist business and duty
to stamp out this pirate traffic, and
we are a race Of arIant towards if
we do not do it, and that right
speedily!
0! says one; that's only the
Drag and bluster of one of the
cranks! You know better! Down
in your heart and soul, you know
it is the very truth and you know
you are moral coward, trying to
deceive your own self, if you are
standing cowed before this monster,
with quivering form and knees
clashing together, in mortal fear
lest the ill will of the saloon power
might affect your salary or bust
ness, your party or political pros
poets
There is to-day, enough honest
sentiment in this community and
in any civilized community, if ex-
pressed at the ballot-box in the
election of officials representing the
sentiment, to stop The saloons in
one election and stamp out their
nurderous business in one short
administration. And but for this
miserable cant" of the. moral

be done, and done a. once
