A widowed mother in Michigan is
sueing a saloon keeper, under a state
law for the loss of her three sons. who
she claims, have been made drunkards
since the scamp opened his den near her
home. One boy is aged fourteen, an
other seventeen, and the third eighteen.
The case viii be contested, of course,
just as railways dispute bill for dam
ages, and the law will be invoked TO
protect the saloon keeper. The defend
ant will use plenty of money and his
past ill-gotten gains will aid him to de-
feat the widowed mother of her three
boys. Meantime the state has its own re-
sponsibility. 1t has consented that just
such fiends shall prey on fair-faced
youth, and it has taken price for just
such barbarous freebooters in human
life and human souls. Is the trade
worthy of any great state? Is it politi-
cal economy, not TO say moral right, to
permit bad men to trade in the COM
monwealth's bright-eyed youthP Shame
on the law that permits such piracy.
Michigan is not singular in this soul
traffic, which is not whit better than
the open sale of the bodies of young
girls. Shame on the license system
1t can be done away. The hesitation is
an everlasting proof that the people are
in bonds to the whisky traffic. Shame
on the politicians who declare that the
abuse may not be prohibited. The de-
lay TO stop the whole outrage is fear of
the ballots of ward politicians. In
measure every man who accepts public
office is yaspoasillo for the bloody bar
gain and deadly wrong Israel escaped
after Egypt's first-born had been slain.
If God should ordain that the eldest son
or the eldest daugher of all lawmakers
must fall victim to the horrid mon
ster who rules even some of our courts.
the issue would instantly assume diff
erent aspect. In that case the law
makers would beg the people to rally
to the rescue. At present the officers
of the law whine that the law cannot be
executed, and seek to throw contempt
on those who now clamor, against the
tyrannical and murderous liquor traffic

slave trade and human slavery Down

Childhood is the time when the ideals
Of life are formed In the dreams of
childhood are found the germs of many
a mans career. The seed sown in the
mind Of the child will terminate into
the character of the man and ripen into
the pleasant fruit of good deeds or the
Dead Sea apples Of sin. And so. if we
would have citizens capable, by voice
and vote, of wisely governing and direct
ing the affairs of the nation, we must see
to it that the children of the land are
early taught to be manly and honest.

The terror lest the agitation of the
liquor question may next fall cost some
political parties the votes of liquor men,
is on the increase in these anti-presi
dental election days. Why not begin
to count up the sober votes that may be
lost unless the parties take stronger
ground against the domination of the
saloono AS sure as God continues to
enlighten men as to their responsibility
on the oyermastering issues, so surely
are all good and pure citizens likely to
desert the parties that fear to fight the
blacklist foe to society. It is not inn
possible that the next election may wit
ness a party desertion that will be next
in moral significance to the revolution
among patriots when the civil war be-
gan. God may bring that revolution
about in day. The sober citizens Of
this republic will not submit to whisky
domination forever. The day of wrath
impends.

The editor of the Democrat tries to
make Il point behind which to conceal
his own infamy by saying that we
have hcaped calumny on the head of
''poor dead Jerry Touhy." Now, as
the worst possible construction that
can be put upon our language in order
to make it calumisous is, that he
acted Us purchasing agent of the
aforesaid editors political principles.
We wonder, if this is called calumny
for ''poor jerry" what it must be for
the party who was sold. Major Andre
had some snc! dmty to perform as did
the gentleman spoken of, and martial
law WAS very severe against him,
though no enc deemed his act dis
graceful to himself. but it never

Comb Your Own Hair

The Bathgate Democrat insists and
keeps up q continual warfare on the
temperance ideas of the republican can-
didatcs and insists that every one is op.
posed to local option. In the face of this,
every candidate las said in writing that
he will stand to and abide by the repub.
lican platform which distinctly declares
for local option.
On the contrary the temperance plank
of the democratic party is meaningless
and only one or two democratic candi.
dates have expressed their intentions of
sustaining it, and the balance have
either said nothing or are openly oppos.
ing it. 1t is even said that one candi.
date is chief officer of q private club
organized for the purpose ofeyasion Of

nent temperance democrat refused 10

perance the editor Of the Democrat was
so enraged when the party refused to
obey his command ''tlat he must do it,
that lie ordered linn from his office, and

door to leave he asked "llumble permits.

county lot nothing by his action in the

ties like Cavalier and St. Joe, for in.
stance. he makes high license speeches,
but says to the audience: II don't mean
this for high license" In other localities
such a. dayton. lie is clearly and dis
tinctly local option supporter. 1n other
words he talks to his audience just as
lie believes they would like to have him
talk.

goes, there is on file at the auditors of.

By announcement elsewhere it will be
seen that Z. +. Andrews has Withdrawn
from the race for auditor. We suppose
his reasons are sufficient to himself for
his action, but we are very sorry that lie
has seen fit 80 to do. The republican
central committee have put in his place
OH the ticket Mr.. John Kabernagle, who
has been running OH an independent
basis. MIR. Kabernagle is every way
competent for the place. He is a Day
democrat and is more heartily hated by
Megquier, Wilson ct al, than any re-
publican. To our temperance friends
we want to say, that he is one saloonist
who has obeyed the local option law and
closed his saloon promptly and closely
and looked for other business. For
some time rast he has been employed
rs deputy.treasurer by Mr.. Lemon and
thus has thorough knowledge of the
office to which he aspires. A man who
thus obeys law which is contrary to his
belief, and acts TO his financial loss, must
have some good, manly principles about
him which the public can well afford to
encourage, and we hope to see Mr.. Kab-
ernagle elected by large majority.
