EDITOR FREEMAN
p Since reading in your paper of
Aug. 10Th, that an occasional
"FREEMAN" finds it's way to Aus
tralia, we feel that, much longer
than we counted on, is the shadow
of individual influence, and that,
at it's farthest point, it may have
more precious value than we had
calculated. So, to voters and to
their "better halves" whom we
have never seen, we dare to speak
this morning, urging all the read
ers of CHE FREEMAN" who live
in the parts of the state to be ad-
dressed by Mrs. McClurkin or by
Rev. VIM. Writ King and others,
to make any sacrifice rather than
miss their soul stirring, soul-con-
vincing arguments for the Home
against the Saloon. We notice
decided growth of sentiment in
favor of the Amendment in this
community since our League was
organized. Each time we have
had public addresses there has been
an increase in audiences, especially
of voters.
We believe the League is infu-
enclng the minds of the people
through its mass meetings. Rev.
Geo. Gear spoke for US on the 23rd,
inst.
Praying that God may bless the
cause and every heart that works
in it,
| remain yours truly,

Report on Resolutions.

"1-Resolred, That we accept as our motto
the declaration of our General Conference
of 1854: namely, "Voluntary Total Abst1-
nence the duty of the Individual, and COM
plete Legal Prohibition the duty of the
State"
2-Resolred, That we behold with sadness
the woes of Intemperance, and that we rec
ognize in the religion of Jesus Christ the
only means sufficient to save men from the
power of depraved appetite.
3 Resolued, That "the Licensed Saloon is a
foul blot on our Christian civilization; that
it is vicious in principle" pernicious in It's
operations-the foe of humanity, contrary
to all the best interests of society, and
damning in it's results.
4-Resolued, That those of us who live In
West Virginia will support the Const1tu-
tional Amendment now pending in this
State"
Yours for the Amendment,

Is 1t Right?

Is it right to build churches to
save men aad license shops that
destroy them2
Is it right to license man to sell
that which makes a man drunk
and then punish man for being
drunk?
Is it right to license man to
make paupers and then tax sober
men to take care of them
Is it right to license drink shop
to teach vice and then tax people
for schools to teach virtue?
Is fright to derive revenue out
of q traffic which no decent man de-
tends?
Is it right to teach your boy not
to drink and then vote to license 8
place where he may be taught to
drink?
Is it right to teach your boy to be
honest, and then vote to license a.
place where he may be taught to
gam Bile?
Is it right to teach a boy to re-
strain his passions, and then vote
to license a place were his worst
passions will be infamed2
Is it right to take care of your
own boy, and vote to license a
place which will ruin your neigh
boris boy?
Is it right to preach justice and
charity, and then vote to license a
thing which robs the W idows and
orphans of their bread?
Is it right for you to 60 to the
polls and vote without having
studied this question seriously and
carefully Cosseltom Blizzard,

Red Tape In Russia.

From an illustrated article by
George KEENAN, entitled Exile by
Administra Process" in the Sept
ember CENTURY, we quote as fol-
lows: Glow easy it is in Russia to
get high officials signature to
any sort of document may be il
Illustrated by any anecdote that I
have every reason to believe is
absolutely true. A 'stola-nachaln-
TX, or head of bureau, in the pro-
vincial administration of Tobolsk,
while Boosting one day about his
power to shape and direct govern
mental action, made a wager with
another chinovnik that he could
get the governor of the province
the late governor Lissogorski-to
sign a manuscript copy of the
Lords Prayer. He wrote the pray
er out in the form of an official
document on sheet of stamped pa
per, numbered it, attached the
proper seal to it, and handed it to
the governor with q pile of other
papers which required signature.
He won his wager. The COVER
nor duly signed the Lords Prayer,
and it was probably as harmless an
official document as ever came out
of his office"

THE TIDE RIsING.
A Amendment Gaining Every
Day.
A Straw Vote of go to 2.

EDITOR FREEMAN:
The Amendment is gaining
friends every day, and if the inter.
ior counties can be even partially
worked its adoption is foregone
conclusion.
Capt. Flanagan, passenger con-
ductor on the B. & O., told me that
recently vote was taken on the
Amendment among his passengers,
the result of which was astonishing
to all. Sixty voted for and two
against it. Afterward the two asked
TO change their votes, and its 'rati-
ication was made unanimous
Straws show which way the wind
blows. 1t is encouraging, once in
a while, to thus feel the public
pulse and ascertain just how high
and strong the current is.
Sabbath, August 26, addressed
quite a crowd at Bearsville, Tyler
county, on the issue of the day,
with results most gratifying.
Three days later L attended a
Picnic near the Nutter Farm, in
Richie county, in company with
Bro. R. A. Hit, which afforded a
splendid opportunity for stirring
the Amendment fires. We made
speeches, sung Temperance songs,
enjoyed good dinner, and found
everybody with whom we talked
against the Saloon and in favor of
Prohibition.
The Temperance forces of this
State and of the Nation want Pro-
hibition, and will get it, by and by.
We must keep its Importance be-
fore the people all the time. We
should not allow ourselves switched
off by the Tariff or any other side
issue. Could this be done, whisky
men would rejoice. The fact that
the Saloon business is an unman-
ageable, irredeemable curse should
be constantly Numbered into the
ears of the people.
