an enterprising publisher has had the effect
to stimulate the artists to their best endeav-

public large number of interesting and
beautiful works suitable for the portfolios or

Addressed by senator Barnes OF
DakOta-Features of the Work Out

Addressed by senator Barnes of
DakOta-Features of the Work Out
There.
At the prohibition meeting last evening
Senator Barnes, of Dakota, made an elo-
quent address. He said he believed it was
right for Christian men to consecrate them
selves to this work for God and our country.
If more understood the question as they
should there would be less need of work.
There is call now for carrying out that
golden rule which has come down from the
ancient days when God Almighty declared
come when the motto of the old Liberty bell
shall be carried out: Popular liberty
throughout the land" That is good Bible
doctrine. Prohibition is good Bible doc
trine.
Dakota has about 100000 people. Most
of them have come within five years, think
ing men from the East and elsewhere. They
wish to establish good institutions upon a
sure basis. The county commissioners have
power to grant or withhold licenses. In my
county, county of 10000 inhabitants,
we made an ap; cal to the commissioners to
grant no licenses and they 'voted that this
board will grant no licenses in the county of
Kingsbury." Liquor sellers undertook to
violate the law and sell without license. The
people commenced prosecutions. Ten Or
twelve men were arrested, tried and con-
victed, and the traffic has been crushed out
in that county. Temperance agitation is be-
ing kept up in various ways, by newspaper
articles, by union meetings of religious
bodies, by various temperance organizations,
by mass meetings and picnics at
which public speakers address the assembled
public. Twice there has been very pronounc
ed vote against license in the county. The
State constitution, adopted by very large
majority of the citizens of the territory, con-
taius constitutional prohibition of the man
ufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors, 50
that if Dakota were admitted to-day it
would come in as prohibition State.
The ladies have done good work at the
polls and elsewhere. Prohibition is success
in many western places l believe it to be a
success in Iowa, except in some of the larger
places. Prohibition is right and can be en-
forced, and my own observation is that its
effect is good.
In Dakota it has been carried as a nom
partisan measure. But in those States where
the old parties are controlled by the liquor
interest partisan movement in behalf of pro-
hibition is a necessity. The Republican party
can never triumph again unless it shall dis
timely take its stand on sound prohibition
ground. Any party which fails to heed and
conform to the growing tide of prohibition
sentiment must fail of continued success,
and the party which represents the righteous
convictions of the people must prevail. And
God will help the right Mr.. Barnes was
heartily applauded.
