THAT COMMON GROUND"
An Amendment is Moved by
Brother ROhrbOugh.
And the Question IS on the Amend
nlent
FA1RMoNT, w. VA, June 5.

the caption of "No Need to Quar-
rel" you suggested what you
thought would be good common
ground" for Temperance workers
to stand upon. -,
With a slight omission, it will
do admirably will state it with
the omission. Suppose all quar-
reling' about the third party be
dropped, and we, one and all agree,
faithfully, earnestly and persistent
ly, to pray, work and vote for the
men and measures that aggresslueIy,
openly, and from principle, favor
the overthrow Of the liquor traffic"
What say you brother FREEMAN,
to this as "common ground p Is
this broad enough for us all to
stand upon2 There certainly is
need of the Temperance workers
in this State, as well as other
States, finding common ground"
upon which to stand. This certain
ly would make very good plat
form for all reasonable and honest
workers in this cause. 1t is where
four-ffths Of them now stand, and
if the other fifth would be content
to stand here also, there would be
better prospect for success. Will
you say amen, to this or will you
give us something more Likely to
osnyy?
A. B. RoHRBoUGH.
No, Good Brother, to answer
promptly and explicitly, we can
not say Amen to the amendment.
The FREEMAN believes heartily in
a good Methodistic use of "Amens,"
but does not believe in wasting
them.
We believe the common
ground" blazed out in last weeks
issue, to De safe, firm and right
eous, impregnable for defense and
most commanding for aggressive
movements against the enemy.
On this ground the FREEMAN
stands until a position is pointed
out that is at least just as safe,
firm, righteous, impregnable and
commanding.
To review the situation in brief:
1t was suggested by a Wheeling
brother, that all quarreling about
the "Third Party" should cease,
and some common ground be found
on which all Temperance people
could ''come together and show
solid front to the liquor power"
In last issue, The FREEMAN pro-
posed as follows:
Chow will this do for common
grounds" Suppose all 'quarreling"
about the "Third Party" be drop
ped, and we one and all agree,
faithfully, earnestly and persistent
ly, to pray, work and vote for the
men, measures and party that are
openly and aggressively, in princi-
pie, plan and platform, in favor of
the ouerthrow of the "liquor power ?"
What say you, Brethren? Here's
a go-THE FREEMAN plants itself
on this common ground"
Bro. Rohrbough moves an amend
ment, as he gives it above.
But as the mover advances no
reasons for the amendment, nor
alleges any objections to the "com-
mon ground" as originally pro-
posed, we might in all propriety
move the previous question" and
let our readers decide which is the
safer and frmer ground" for
prohibitionists to occupy.
However, we have no desire to
"to cut off debate" If there be
any "marshy" spot or weak and
untenable point on this common
ground" on which THE FREEMAN
has planted itself, let it be surveyed
deliberately and located specifically,

The saloonists of Ohio held a
meeting in Columbus, on Friday,
and organized State League to
fight the new Scott Law. $4,000
was raised as starter to fee lawyers.
The fact that this law is opposed by
liquor men, is no evidence that it
has any merit as Temperance
measure. A legal insult to Tenn
perance people may sometimes be
a legal wrong against saloonists.
This Scott Law seems to be one of
those miserable sort of compromise
crosses.
