EARNEST WORDS FROM MRS. S. F. CHAPLIN
One of the arguments used against pro-
hibition, see, is the fear that it will de-
stroy the Democratic party. What does
that mean Surely it cannot mean that
the Democratic party is the champion Of
the saloon against the homes of our State.
Every throb of my heart revolts at such an
assertion. The two Greek words damos
and kraleo, which mean, literally, the rule
of the people, are the two words from
which the word Democrat is formed The
Prohibitionists are only asking that the
people may be allowed to say by their ball 1T
whether or not interlopers for not one in
ten are our own people1 shall be allowed to
place pitfalls in the way Of our boys. Is
that not Democratic And is it not
directly contrary to the spirit of true
Democracy for any body Of men to dare to
prevent the sovereign people from an ex-
preston Of their opinion at the ballot box :?
