Shall We XIII or License the
Dragon?

The people are thinking on the
liquor question. By an immense
majority they have concluded that
something must be done to kill the
dragon. There is a diversity of
opinion as to the means, but not
much difference concerning the end
which it is desirable to compass.
The saloon has reached out for the
mastery in politics. The people
have made up their minds to drive
the saloon out of politics, and the
people are stronger than the sa-
loon. The saloon is a social as we'll
AZ political evil, and on this sub
ject, too, the people have decided
views. The present year is to wit
ness some substant ial advance on
this line of reform; and this in
spite of some obstructive mistakes
which it cannot hope will be aban.
doned within the year.
There are other moral advances
for which we may reasonably look,
not the least among them being
the election OF Republican Presi-
dent.-htelIgencer.
The htelhgemcer agrees that the
saloon is social and political evil,
and says the people, by can i'm.
mense majority, have decided that
something must be done to kill the
dragon" There are two POLICIES in
regard to this dragon, in this State;
one is to stay in partnership with
it, the other is to kill it. In view
of the bold utterances of the Intel
Ggencer just quoted, which policy
will it advocate Will it advocate
the perpetuation Of the murderous
partnership, or will it join the
immense majority" and see that
the dragon is killed? "License" is
partnership with it; "Prohibition"
is to kill (which is the LntelG-
gsqacer for?

CINCINNATI'S SUNDAY.
Mayor Smith Preaching Anarchy.

Since the Sunday closing Law
was passed By the Ohio Legislature
Mayor Smith of Cincinnati bas
given out boldly that it will mt
by obeyed in that city. He con.
dennis the law and will make M
effort to enforce it.
Of this law-defying attitude of
the executive of great city the
Huntington Times well says:
"The anarchists who were huno
in Chicago because they thought
that the laws were not properlv
constituted to suit them have found
an adherent in principle in the
chief executive officer of Cincin.
natl; and one of her great daily pa.
pers even goes as far as the most
pronounced anarchist in the land
when it says: "There can be no
municipal administration except
upon the understanding that the
law is to be allowed to take its
place in the procession of enact.
ments that are reserved for use at
some time not fixed, in the far fu.
ture, when the world changes
just tefore it comes to end" Gin.
cinnati, through her mayor, is tax.
ing a vigorous stride toward an.
archy in its most radical form. and
it is not hard to foretelI the ulti.
mate results Of the present course
of her officials. Prohibition gains
many friends, when the laws in re.
gard to the licensed sale of liquor
are not vigorously executed, and
it is the duty of all officials every.
where to see that all laws are vigor.
ously maintained and executed"
NoTE.-Msyor Smith has since
repented, and now says the law shall
be enforced. ED.

Not a Strong Point.

Over III indictments were found
by the Marshall County grand
jury; 1O8 were for unlawful sales
of whisky. They seem to be en-.
forcing the law in Marshall.-Prss.
tom Journal.
Why, the Intelldgemcer quotes
these indictments to show the total
depravity of Prohibition. Freeman.
And that is why we said what
we did say. We thought it showed
that the law was to be enforced.
The point that the Anti Prohibi.
tionists made, that the present law
is not enforced, and that, therefore,
a more stringent law would not be
enforced, is strong one against US
is it not, Bro. FREEMAN ?-Journah
No Sir; it is not a strong point.
Give the people stringent law,
not in partnership with the crimi.
nal; a law that has reason in it
and penalties behind it, and they
will enforce it. What heart can
honest men have in enforcing
even the restrictive features of an
Ubiquitous law that they utterly
condemn! Give us Prohibition,
pure and simple, and the cry will
be raised all along the lines, The
Saloon Must Go!

fellows are seeking disorganization

Glorious Famine.

All the brewery employees in
New York and adjacent towns have
been locked out. A beer famine is
imminent in the Metropolis.-Reg-
aster.
O, what glorious famine that
would be for thousands of families
in the great drink-cursed ethyl
A beer famine, would mean a
bread harvest. AS the beer saloons
would be deserted the butcher shops
would be thronged. While the
throats of few would be parched
with the beer drouth, the hearts of
a whole army Of suffering women
and children would be refreshed
with the commingling Sunshine
of Peace and Showers of Plenty.
O, for a Beer Famine, the broad

and VOTE for such a famine in
West Virginia, after November

The Wrong End.

They (Prohibitionists) begin at
the wrong end, by attacking the sa-
looms, which exist in response to a
demand. Let them try another
tack, and begin on the demand
that is on the individual and his
appetite. This would be practical
temperance reform, and about the
only kind that is practical.-ChS-
cago Mail.
Which end of rattlesnake do
reasonable men attack? Do they
parley with the tail that rattles
warning to the publ ic, and tells
them there's a snake in their
midst? Hardly; they go for the
end of that snake that has the
fangs and poison.
Nor do they attempt the folly of
regulating that venomous reptile
by license, while they go to the
Sunday Schools and train up a
generation that will avoid snakes.
Prohibition IS have learned by
sad experience in the business of
fighting snakes that it is wise to
attack the business end of the SER
penis, the same with the "worm of
the still'' az with rattlesnakes.
