II the officials of Sioux City had
done their duty, G. G. Haddock had
not died. If their political party had
been the foe of rum, G. G. Haddock
had not died. If the political party
in power will not enforce the law, the
power should be transferred to one

importance of a political party being IN

The antagonism between the Liquor
Interests and Christian society is nec-
essarily one Of life and death. Neither
can thrive where the other is aggressive
and self assertive. The triumph of
whisky means the dissolution Of the
Church and the triumph Of the church
means total suppression of whisky.
The assassination of Haddock was log
ical, and is only faint adumbration Of
what must happen in the future, if
Christian people dare assert the princi-
pies of their holy religion I regard
Rev. G. G. Haddock as martyr, and
I hope and believe that his death will
awaken the church to this irrepressible
conflict, and the determination to de-
stroy the liquor business with an utter
destruction.

Bewley was hung by mob at Fort

a Methodist preacher from the North.

The liquor traffic was mad when it slew
Wat son B. Smith at Omaha. It is
doomed now to speedy death for slay
Ing with cowardly hand Rev. Geo. C.
Haddock. Now let every Methodist
preacher In the land answer that assas

The saloon, the assassin of the nine
teenth century shall die. The end
of this 'soiganized villainy" hastens.
Bullets may slay the martyrs of this
holy cause but ballots will slay the
assassin saloon. Haddock was slain
for being practical Prohib;tioasist
not for sentiment. In this war,
ballots will outweigh bullets, and will
kill the assassin saloon-the gigantic
criminal of the nineteenth century.

l regard the murder of Rev. G.. @.
Haddock:-l. As an evideuce of the
desperation of the saloon cause and the
length to which it is ready to 60 to
sustain itself. 2. As an eye opener
to men who profess to believe IN prohi
bition but who still train with po-
lltical parties in whose ranks such
diaoolical act is possible. 8. As a
necessity in the providence of God to
bring this great question Of prohibition
to universal issue. Geo. G. Had
dock is to the Prohibition cause what
Owen Lovejoy was to the abolition Of
slavery.

The murder Of Rev. 6. e. Haddock
of Sioux City, Iowa viii greatly
strengthen the temperance work. 1t
is an exhibition of the spirit Of the OPP
posing party and confession Of Its
weakness. Murder Is the devils re-
sort whereby he always defeats his
own ends. The cause Of truth and
righteousnesshas always gained ground
when some OF It's advocates have fallen
as martyrs. Let US take courage and
march into the forefront of the battle
because we have received new assur-
ancc of gain and Of final victory.
