HOW ON along Tie vanished past
SttH With the lines OF youth a4iov.
cPring Up tAe fow's that iAdeA hst-
Inc scented bloom of long agol
where h the heart that would forget
Ine smile, the look, the warm embracef
Amid the years We treasure vet
The contour Of the Aitt ID fea
Deep In the labyrinth Of time,
Mischievous shine black eyes and blue:
Ana nlfy angsss beat . rhyme
On C1p1d's bow for me aud you.
ind letter hidden long
From summers sun and winters snow.
And 70 II elings . cherished song
inas keeps the tune Of long ago.
We never quite forget the joys
Recorded on life's primal page;
The laughter gay OF boys and girls
Across q path ssill bright and clear,
child 10 swinging to and fro;
An9 memory twines In golden hair
The lovely bloom of long ago.
The music sought by us to-day
10 other years was grandly sung;
The face that fits across the way
We often kissed when We were Young.
1t is the hand We cannot see
That leads rs, when the suu is low,
Back to the memory haunted lea
Rich with the bloom flong ago.
Confess TO me, for Il IL true,
l care not what your station be,
That somewhere there's spell for you
A spell Of love and fantasy.
Who has not felt q vanished hand
Touch bis at twilight's gentle glow,
Or seen emerge from shadowland
sweetheart of the long ago!
Black eyes and bluel OF Whit q spell
They weave for all who own their swavI
And where is be whose song can tell
One-half the cunning they display
They are the milestones of the road
We tread to whore the waters fiow
Between m and the yelled abode
Beyond the love of long ago.

A Stalwart PrOhlbit;Onist Speaks
his Mind.
CLINTON, OHIO COUNTY, w. VA

CLINTON, OHIO COUNTY, w. VA.
EDITOR FREEMAN:
We are still alive to the question
of our Homes against the Saloon.
The Amendment question is crea-
ting considerable interestin Liberty
District. There have been three
discussions of the Prohibition ques-
ton in the past few weeks, and
the interest was manifested by
crowded houses and close attention
given. The friends of the Amend.
ment have been victorious in ev-
cry instance. Our Prohibition Par.
ty speakers have done some eff
fective work at these meetings,
which I think will bring forth
good fruit in due season. They are
always prepared, and whenever an
opportunity is offered, they are
ready and willing to meet the
enemies of our Home, let them
represent whatever party they may.
We can't for the life OF us see any
q. ference in the effects of Repub-
licAn High License whisky and
Democratic cheap whisky; they
both bring the same result every
time. l think this High Licepse
scheme is the worst enemy that the
friends of the Home have to con-
tend with. 1t is the greatest fraud
that could possibly be invented for
the purpsse of hoodwinking the
people. 1t has been said that the
Almighty Dollar" is the god of the
American people; hence the
scheme of High License. 1t is the
reuenue derived from the Traffic
that stands to-day between the Sa.
loon and its speedy destruction,
Take the Government tax from
Liquor and remove the State and
municipal license fees, and the peo-
pie would rise up in their wrath
and vote the accursed traffic out of
existence at the first election in
every State in the Union.
One more thing, and that is, /
think that our State Convention
should be called at as early date
as possible. We here are in favor
of getting into the field first with
our candidates. Then if either or
both the old parties are honest in
their pretensions, where they make
any, of wanting to elect Temper
ance men, they can either, or both
of them, endorse our candidates if
they go desire.
1t is folly to higgle any more
about the policy of pleasing
Amendment stabbers." We should
give all true friends of Prohibition
a chance to vote for men who are
competent to legislate and admin
lister our laws, and are not afraid to
say The Saloon must go, and are
willing to help make it 60.
Yours,
nj

High License a Bar to PrOhibis

81 heartily agree with the point
made by prohibitionists against
high license. The more money you
get from the liquor traffic in
revenue, the harder it will be to
convince the tax payers that pro-

is no doubt of that; ] say SO fairly
and squarely."-C III. Woodman,
