The Dependent Pension bill passed
the U. s. Senate on Thursday week by
a vote of A to 16. The nays were all
Democrats. Messrs. Mcpherson and
Blodgett of this State voted in its favor.
It is the Grand Army bill, only amend
ed by putting the word "totally" before
the words .incapacitated fer the perfor-
nance of manual labor in the second
section. Its provisions give pensions to
dependent parents of deceased soldiers
ON the showing that they are or have
been without other means of support
than their own manual labor or the con-
tributions of others not legally bound
for their support gives invalid pensions
to those who served three months or
more ana are incapacitated for manual
labor, and places widows, minor children
or dependent father or mother on the
pension rolls.

The Phillipsburg democrat does
not agree with the Democratic press of
this State generally in their attitude
towards the Local Option High License
bill and their view of its probable effect
upon the future prospects of the two
parties. 1t says
The Local Option High License bill
has passed both Houses of the Legisla-
ture. has become law of the land and
soon will go into effect. The good or
evil results of that law are yet to be de-
termined. II strikes us that it admits
of serious doubts whether the Demo
cratic leaders and party OF the State
have pursued the best and wisest policy
in dealing with all temperance questions
that have of late years come before the
public; whether their hostility to all
temperance measures of whatever kind,
at any and all times and under any and
all circumstances, has been and will be
for the best interests Of the party and
of the public. The temperance senti-
ment has gained strong footing among
the people, irrespective OF party, and
that sentiment is. growing constantly.
II is well to consider these matters
thoroughly and impartially and deter
mine whether, instead of getting the
Republicans in hole on this most inn
portant question, the boot is not ON the
other leg. We are not one of those who
lump to the conclusion that the enact
ment of the Local Option law is bound
TO sink the Republican party and hurl it
from power, and those who do thus
hastily draw such conclusions and pro-
claim them broadcast exhibit more of
weakness and shortsightedness than of
discretion and good judgment"

The Pbillipsburg NesOs reflects as fol-
lows: The oldest inhabitant half centu-
ry hence will oite his experience ia the
great storm of 1888 to prove that it does
not blow so hard, freeze so hard, or snow
so deep as 1t did in his youth. 1t is be-
cause such storms as this one make last
ing impression, and survive in the mem
DRY when much else is forgotten, that
nearly all old people are profoundly of
the conviction that the country enjoys a
much milder climate than it did in their
youth when the snow drifts used to over
top the fences and people even persisted
Of cold so late as the middle of March,

Democratic or Rum Party. In looking
over the platforms of the Democratic
(rum) party for the last three presiden-
tial campaigns, you will find that prohi.
bitory legislation is specifically condemn
ed, under the guise of condemnation of
"sumptuary laws.' 1t is no infringe
ment of a citizens rights to prohibit his
damaging the community by keeping a
dramshop.
In the different states, this Democratic
rum party has resolved against prohibit
ton by constitution, or by general laws
1t has shown itself opposed to all prohibit
tory legislation, and to practice what they
preach, have nominated for Governors
aud other high offices, the very incarna-
tion Of the saloonists, and in too many
inst ances have elected them. This is the
championship party Of the grog- shop. 1t
is for whiskey and beer every time and
all the time.
A Democratic rum organ, couple of
years ago, said: "As we predicted some
time ago, there is hardly any doubt that
the Republican party will come out open
ly for prohibition in the next presidential
election. That will necessitate a stricter
adherence Of the Democratic party to the
cause of personal liberty [ahem listen
very fine phrase to bestow upon the
rum traffic, than has been the case of
late ~
AN alliance between the Republicans
and Prohibitionists is possibility and
not without hope of success. An alli-
ance between the Democrats aud Prohi.
bitionists is an impossibility aud utterly
devoid of any hope for victory, and that
for the reason that the Democratic party,
10 religious sense, is more conglomer-
ate of all sorts of confessions whilst
nine tenths of the Republican party be-
long to the Puritanical denominations
and form one compact mass"
Nearly all of this Democratic rum par
tvs organs have said, that when it comes
w az tsnuo uotWcou plOuiohttVu uuu W utc-
key, they will be found on the side, aud
in defence, Of the saloon. OF the 1909
primaries and political conventions held
in New York City in 1884, 63S were held
in saloons and SO next door to them. The
Democrats held 6ss of these, whiskey
ones.
Hence we see that by their national
platforms, by their state platforms, by
their political papers, and by their ma
tional House of Representatives, the
Democratic party is opposed to all pro-
hibitory temperance legislation. We can
not look to this party for any help to re-
move the demon curse of whiskey from
our homes. 1t stands self-confessed
rum party. It's battle cry is, "ram
give as rum or we die.'
How can decent person, and especial
ly christian, belong to a party that has
gotten SO low down that one can hardly
be christian gentleman and belong to it :?
Is 1t not about time to cut yourself asun-
der from party that is devoid of all
principle and moral honesty "a party that
champions whiskey, fraud aud evil of
every kind, for the sole purpose Of gain

The Jersey City Journal observes that
some OF the shrewder and more cool
headed among the Democrats of this
State do not feel so sure that Governor
Green and the Democrats in the Legisla-
ture have done smart thing in making
public and close partnership with the liz
quor saloon. They apprehend, and not
without reason, that the Democratic par
~ has loaded itself up too heavily, and
that il may discover that it has taken too
big dose OF Jersey lightning"

temperance. This word means re-
straint, moderation; babitual moderation
in regard to the indulgence of the natural
appetites, as temperance in eating and
drinking; temperate in pleasures. Hence
to be temperate means to control ones
self in thing, or from excess; to hold
ones self back; or as Paul puts it, to keep
his body under and bring it into subjec-
ton.
As used in the New Testament it means
the same thing. The Greek word, egkrGteiG
means haoing the upper hand; having the
mastery or control Of ones appetites. 1t
does not mean, as some people think,
moderation only in the use of wine or
strong drink, but self control leading to
moderation in everything. Hence you
perceive it does not mean total abstinence.
Abstinence is from the verb to abstain,
which means to forbear or refrain volun-
tarily from an indulgence Of the appetites;
to hold back; to give up entirely. To
abstain from thing lawful or unlawful.
In its restricted or narrower sense, total
abstinence means an entire retaining
from intoxicating liquors Thiss again,
as you perceive, is not prohibition To
prohibit means to put stop to thing;
make an end of it.; not allow it to con-
tinue any longer. To prohibit it is the
exercise Of power or authority on an inli-
vidual and is extended to the authority of
government. Prohibition as 1t now fills
the air, means the exercise of govern
mental authority-state or national-over
the liquor traffic. The Prohibitionists
are fighting not only for the overthrow OF
the saloons, but also against the manu-
facturs Of any more Intoxicating liquors,
except for medicinal and scientific pur-
poses. This is perfectly legitimate and
within the power of the people. The
people have right to say what they shall
have or shall not have. You often hear
it said that the majority rules. This is
not true. We would have high old
time if the majority undertook to rule.
The people rule-the majority only de
cides which way, or what, 1t shall be; aud
when once so decided, it becomes the de.
cision of the minority as we'll as the ma
jority, otherwise there could be no such
thing as representative government.
Besides, the persons elected to repre-
sent the people, must represent them, al
they are only servants of the people to dc
their will, or officers to execute the laws
They are elected by the people from
among the people, to voice the will o.
the people, and not to carry out their owr
whims.
This being the case, there is no ques
ton affecting society upon which the PEG
I, pie have not right to express them
, selves. And for representative of th'
people to refuse to allow the people Il
express their will, or for him to refuse t
carry out the will of his constituents, i
high-handed tyranny, to which a fre'
people should not submit for one hour.
The whiskey question does tremend
, oasly and outrageously affect society, ant
the people have an inalienable right t.
say what shall be the doom of the liquo
traffic.
