Mr. EDIToR:-The temperance people OF
MooreStown have made their appeal to the
proper authorities to redress the wrongs
under which the community is suffering
The course of the appeal has been watched
most carefully, and the interest of the pco-
pie never tagged. The decision has been
announced and the entire matter is laid be-
fore the pnblic for approval or condemna-
ton.
The decision of the Judges of the Bur
lington County Court will be reviewed all
over the land, and every man trained in
thought will not hesitate to express his
opinion of the qualifications of these Judges
i:r the positions they occupy, as shown in
this trial. 1t may seem to many that the
temperance people have no chance in a
court OF justice. 1t has already been shown
that they have no chance before the legis-
laturc. The will OF the majority is simply
ignored The most weighty legal argu-
ments are brushed aside, and the guardians
of the law without explanation or in any

The idea of throwing away votes" At
the very time your cause is numerically the
weakest is the very time that your indi-
vidual votes count the most. The party
that triumphs by securing votes cast for
it by voters who considered it a ''choce of
evils, will fall in disgrace, as individuals
must fall who temporarily succeed by false
pretenscs. The voter who votes against
his principles, upon considerations OF ex-
pcdieney, involves a force for evil which is
sure to return sooner or later, and torture
his sonl for time and eternity. Prohibition
would bring more general prosperity and
individual happiness than the success of
any or all of the great political or moral
questions of the day. The state, the home,
the general government, commerce, trade,
notwithstanding would be more Sc
cure and prosperous. Let us work, vote
and pray for prohibition. DemoreSfs
