IN A QUANDARY.
Are We " FlO0red and Power
n less Before Our Saloon
Masters i?
Richie, c. H., W. Va,
January 81, 1888.
ED. FRESHMAN -


You have no doubt noticed the
quandary that the editors of the
Intellsgemcer and the State Journal
have gotten themselves into, in
their discussion OF the question
how to secure the execution of "our
excellent and all.sufficient laws"
as the Imtelligemcer styles them, reg
ulating the liquor traffic.
1t will be interesting to see the
answer which the Intetligemcer will
give to the last question asked by
the Journal.
1t is manifest that upon their
theory of things, we are foored,
powerless and at the mercy Of our
masters, the liquor dealers. There
must be no boiling of tickets. Well
in this l agree; for it would avail
perhaps nothing. 1t is a boiling
OF parties that is needed. Temper
ance Republicans, and Temperance
Democrats must show faith by
their works. The argument of the
Iaatellagemcer is; the law is not en-
forced, therefore the professions of
Temperance men is mere profess
sion; because by voting for candi-
didates that they know will not
enforce the law, they connive at its
violation. Now, l for one, can see
no flaw in this logic. guess it
will pass muster. But then the
Intelligeq,cer says, No! mol they
must not bolt their ticket, nor
their party therefore, the Intells-
gencer is in favor of making these
laws, which it SO highly eulogizes,
a nullity. Is there anything
wrong in the logic here p? 1t is clear
that the old parties are alike pow
erlese, and also that those who lead
them mean to keep them so. Ergo,
we F" cranks say, we must have
new party, A party that comes
into being for the very purpose of
delivering the country from this
bondage, and that lives for the
purpose of making and enforcing
all laws necessary to rid the coun-
try OF this curse. This party will
be composed of men who have
bolted party; OF Temperance Re-
publicans and Temperance Demo-
Gratis, who are in all honesty and
earnestness, temperance men.

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS.
What a West Yirginian Says of 1t.
Growing Stronger Every Day.

EDITOR FREEMAN:
We are not only holding our own
on the line of Prohibition, in Kan
sas, but are steadily gaining
strength. Our outposts are becom.
ing more firmly fortified. Prohibi-
ton is growing in popularity every
day. 1t is seldom that you meet a
man who openly advocates a return
to the rum rule. Woe be to the
political party that would insert
in its platform a plank advocating
thing of that kind. Rum power
is gone here. And with the pro-
gressive ideas in this State he can
not hope to establish his reign of
destruction, of sorrow, of poverty,
ruin and death in this great State.
Here the W. c. T. U. is on the
alert always as we'll as elsewhere.
Recently a druggist put in petit
tions before the proper authorities
for permit to sell liquor. The
women interfered and prevented
him securing the permit, knowing
him to be an unfit man to be en-.
trusted with such privilege.
They did right; God bless them
for their zeal.
And now comes another victory
in the courts, which secures to the
honest druggist the defeat of the
purposes of the dishonest and truck.
ling physicians prescription for
whisky. When he presented it tc
the druggist he refused to fill it, as
he believed it was to be used as a
beverage, knowing the man who
presented it to be habitual drunk
ard. The case was carried to the
courts, where the druggist was sus
tanned, the court deciding in his
favor, holding that the first duty
of the druggist was to the State, tc
see that the law was carried out in
its true intent and purposes.
We mean progress in this State,
We intend to convince the most
skeptical that prohibition can be
made to prohibit. Kansas with
her culture, her intelligence, her
advanced thought on the great
moral ISSUES of the day, and deter.
mination to protect the Home
against the power Of whisky rule,
her soil and excellent climate
with these you have desirable
place for the family and the Home.
