The best answer to give those who
think our good women are out of their
spheres when they engage in temper
ance and missionary causes, is to push
the work in hand and let the world be
convinced by the accomplishment of
great good. The completed work will
make all proper apologies and meet all
opposing arguments. By and by thes e
over sensitive people will rejoice with
us in the harvest to be reaped from
our struggles. Let them misquote
and misinterpret st. Paul as they will,
facts will put another construction on
these Scriptures some day.

The Australian System of Voting.
Editor The Voice.-In the years of
my connection with the labor move
ment. too often was called to witness
the cursed work of rum in the ranks
of my friends and associates. The
rumseller is the only force in society
that destroys a man soul and body
Where they thrive all else must per-
ish. This man, as part of system,
after destroying the home and degrad-
ing the citizen, demands that his
voice shall dictate the politics of state
and nation. Against this l offer q
most solemn protest. These people
are not fitted by education or training
to master the science of government,
and vet this is what they attempt to
do to-day. AS rule, they are ignor-
ant. the animal fully developed, but
the man. morally or mentally, sadly
lacking. l know their practices.
Often have l seen them bringing their
victims to the polls, and seen them de-
postt the purchased vote. To prevent
this condition of things, to me is the
question of the hour, and | think the
kew 10 the situation is found in what
is kn1vn as the Australian system of
voting. This stops at one stroke the

Robbing The Farmer.

With malice pretence and afore-
thought every capitalist who goes
into a trust, or combine, or plot to
keep up prices by simply manufac-
turing such quantity of goods as
the demand may make necessary is
a consplrator against the agricultural
classes of the country, and will soon.
er or later have an ending as most
conspirators geaerlly deserve.
Take for example, the plow trust.
AS soon as it was perfected the cost
of plows went up one hundred per-
cont. This increase was mainly
brought about by the steel trust.
The combine includes all the great
plow manufacturers of the country,
and it is safe to say that plows are
at least one hundred per cent. high
er than they would be if the duties
on them, and the steel manufacturers
that go with them, were abolished.
Now who suffers, and who suffers
alone, from this commingsing OF
trusts? Who indeed, but the farmer?
He has to plow his land, stand the
rise, pay the jugglcd advance only
! made possible through the war tariff
and struggle along the best be can
under tho additional load.
There is no combine 10 put up the
prlce of his wheat or corn, his sheep
horse. hogs and mules. Competition
is killed, and whether the piow il
worsh Sll or $40, ho has to give il
| or quit agriculture. Only so many
are manufactured at home, and none
can come in from abroad because

Probably never before were there
80 many lynchings as have occurred
within the past few months. At the
same time there was never Q time in
the history of America when 1t was
so easy for criminal to escape the
consequence of his crime, be what
it may. when be is brought before
the courts. These two co-existing
facts naturally explain each other.
Each succeeding legislation the Grim
inal law only serves to increase the
loopholes of esbape, by uystifying
and befogglng previous enactments
with amendments. If the criminal
has money can command the in,
fiuence of men of prominence, he Is
certain to escape. If convicted be is
soon pardoned and turned loose on
society. Is it not strange then that
people, distrusting that which has so
often failed. should take law in their

The Downfall of the Sag

"Wednesday afternoon novel spec

Fort Gains. O. S. Brown, one of
the most successful farmer4, drove
into town on wagon dfa :. q by four
fine horses, which W ere hooded

these was a large flag, supported by
two stats, on which was inscribed
Down With the Trustl' Georgia

turnout was Il rickety, one horse
wagon, wrapped in jute bagging,
with sides uncovered and numerous
sample holes in the edges, from
which eight or ten negro boys riding
on the bale constantly drew small
samples and threw them in the street.
At several points along the route
the procession was halted, aud noun
ing the topmost bale, Mr.. Brown de-
fvered an original, unique address,
reciting in rhyme the various losses,
lenkages, and thefts incident to the
old method of baling and advantages
