Ne appeal to Almighty God to judge a. TO the
rectitude of our intentions.
Whereas, The immoral influence and political
attit lde Of the imported saloon have become 70
us VI endurable, and have assumed such gigan-
tic proportions as to threaten the purity aud
perpe uity Of our social and political institu-
tions; and
Whereas, We believe the Only remedy of relief
from its baneful effects to lie along the line of
National Party, pledged to the enactment and
enforcement of laws, constitutional or statutory,
forever prohibiting the importation, mAnufac-
ture and sale ofintoxicating liquors as a beyer-
age; and
Whereas The existence of a National party
depends upon the maintenance of its orgsniza-
ton in the separate states, districts and coun-
ties; therefore
Resolved, That we, the Prohibitionists OF
Pierce county, Wisconsin, do endorse our state
and national platforms, and declare ours elves
to be loyal to Tie party.
Resolved, That while we recognize othey ques-
tons than that of prohibition, we make this one
our erystalizing center.
Resolved, That we believe all efforts TO enforce
prohibitory Law by license party or q free
whisky party, as the case may be. 10 be farce,
and we denounce any such party as wiliully
prostituting the public welfare 70 political
lust.
Resolved, That as our remembrance of our
mothers is such as to make us believe that they
had, or still have as good hard sense and as
high moral aspirations as we and our fathers
we do declare In favor Of extending to all women
the right of suffrage, the same as now enjoyed
by men.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves in fsyoI
of the faithful enforcement Of all laws for the
sacred observance ofthe Sabbath.

THE
River Falls Journal,
Published Every Thursday,
Ritter Fails, WISCONSIN.

THE JOURNAL is pre-eminently LOCAL
PAPER and as such has gained wide and
enviable reputation. 1t enjoys the proud
distinction of being in the lead in the
matter of Local Correspondence" and is
the wonder of its contemporaries as the
only paper which has successfully main
tanned, undiminished, the interest of its
large number of local contributors in its
welfare. Because of its superiority as a
disseminator of local news it is widely
read without regard to the political, reli-
giOus or other affiliations of those who
wish to obtain information Of a local ma
ture, and this is fact worthy the careful
consideration of advertisers.
The ''pay in advance" system upon
which THE JOURNAL is published long
since ceased to be an experiment, and we
find it much more satisfactory to our sub
scribers, as well as ourself, than the old
method. The especial attention of our
subscribers is directed to the following
OBSERVATIONS:

4. The paper is discontinued at the
expiration of the time for which subscrip-
ton is paid, and a failure to renew before

we are committing in its stead. OF

amendment forbids the expectation of
