Once more we played before them all,
And passed away into the night.

And a. your strains re-echoed there

guising the fact EEat many Republicans are gov

Senatorial election I'm 1891. Our laws are being
Violated ana I'D many instances Wen known u our

is done We VIII ana ourselves ia a worse con-
ditiOn than the Republicans of Iowa. We hope

matter into consideration before it is to late The
failure 10 enforce the pTOhibitOry law is fast dirty
ing PrOhibitionists to the resubmissiOn side
Dispatch.
We are glad that our contemporary
has changed its course and is disposed
to use its influence on the side of
temperance A year or two ago, It
gave the HERALD a severe lecture and
called US a demagogue for stating
that the battle for temperance was
not yet over. The Dispatch told US
that "the question had been forever
settled in Kansas" and there was no
issue Of that sort here, and never would
be, and that we ought to have sense
enough and honesty enough to admit
it. Our neighbor now sees that it
was wrong and a little too previous
in stating its conclusions. But we
wish briefly to state that the Dis
patch is again in error when it takes
the position that the ProhibitOry law
is not as we'll enforced in Kansas as
any other penal statute. We have
prohibitory law against adultery, per
jury. theft and other crimes, and yet
those crimes are committed. Because
those laws are. occasionally violated is
that any good reason we should repeal
the statutes forbidding those ofenses?
No; the occasional failure to enforce
the law is not the cause Of this move
ment the object Of which is to repeal
prohib1tory laws and again establish
the saloon. The real cause Of the
movement is the insatiate greed Of the
LIQUOR manufacturer and liquor seller
to make money. No matter to him if
the saloon wrecks men, destroys
homes, breaks the hearts of wives and
mothers and degrades and curses
communities, if he can put money in
his pocket. The liquor interests of
the entire United States are determ-
med to repeal the prohibitOry law of
Kansas. Shall they be allowed to do
it? That is now the great question.

they can re-establish the saloons in

Rev. George H Ylbbert, noted
Universalist minister OF Boston, deIlv-
cred a lecture on Temperance at the
NJ. 3. Church last Saturday evening
under the auspices of the w. O. Z. u.
which society has him employed TO
speak on that subject In the west. No
brief notice of the address viii do JUS
tice to it. 1t was logical, eloquent
and effective The speaker stated
that $500. 600, 0G0 were annually eXpen-
ded for drink In this country. 1t
would be better If that amount Of mon
ey was burned up or sunk to the bot
tom Of the sea. He showed that the
drink habit is the enemy of christian
civilization, Of the home, the church,
/ the country and Of all that is good
and desirable Tt produces poverty,
ignorance, insanity, prostitution, and
murder. 1t is the great curse Of the
ages. The speaker exhOrted all good
citizens to oppose the re-suDmlsslOn
movement now being agItated- The
LIQUOR manufacturers and saloon keep
ers in all parts Of the United States
will tax themselves and raise a vast
amount Of money with which to cause
the repeal Of the prOhibitOry laws Of
Kansas. Within the next year this
state will be the battle field between
the great cOntendIng powers of the
saloon, with all its vile and democrat
ling influence on one side, and the
home, the church, the schools civil
cation itself, on the other side With
eloquent and powerful appeals, Mr.
Vibbert called on his hearers to work
vote and pIav, against the repeal of
our temperance laws, and to remOrse-
lesly stamp out the accursed drink
custom. The gentleman is an able,
eloquent, earnest speaker, and Mrs.
j. w. Lowe did the community a val
liable service in securing him to speak
here. He ought to be heard in every
county in the state.
/ After the lecture our we'll known
! citizen, Jacob H. Close, made a few
well timed and appropriate remarks
/ He said that after drinking for twenty
! five years he had turned oyer a new
! leaf and Joined the church and he
prayed God to assist him in keeping
! his pledge to never again drink an
other drop Of liquor. Mr. Close mar
rated how Elder Beckhart had APP
preached him and with a kind and
christian spirit, asked HIM to quit
drinking, and to pray for help from a
| higher power. To MIR. Beckhart be
gave great credit, for his new resolve
to begin a better life. The applause
which greeted MIR Close showed
clearly that the audience was in sym
pathy with him
Pastor Beckhart closed the meeting
with a pleasant talk lasting a few
minutes in which he invited everyone
to come out and assist him in his re
yival meeting.

THANKSGIVING.

The day the HERALD goes to press
has been designated by the President
and Governor as Thanksgiving Day"
This day has been observed since the
birth of the Republic. The observing
of it is a good custom. For the PEG
pie once a year to abstain from secu-
lar business, and to assemble together
and give thanks to a Higher Power
for the manifold blessings we enjoy,
is not only beautiful custom but a
wise-a beneficial one. We are all
too prone to place too high an esti-
mate on purely secular affairs. We
have a moral, a spiritual nature,
which needs cultivation as much, yes
more, than the physical body needs
exercise or the mind development.
ImpenatrabIe mysteries are all about
us; we understand but little Of the
workings of Nature: we know that
but yesterday we came into conscious
existence, that in a short time all that
is visible of us will be LAID away under
ground. While this is true we also
know that we have loves and aspira-
tions that reach beyond time and space
and have inward whisperings and as
surfing intuitions that a better world
awaits us and that we are the child
rem Of an infinitely good Parent who
dOeth all things well. Sometimes
there comes to us in visions glimpses
of the gIories of a spirit land. and of
the happy condition Of loved ones
who have passed on We may not
understand why trouble, and disap-
pointments, and separation from those
who are near and dear to US, come so
often, to make us sad and weigh us
down with sorrow, but this we know
If we see Alright that,
IAN Nature speaks the attribxtes of God
Whose vast domain of matter and Of mind
Accord forever to His holy will,
All life is an expression of hiS love,
All death Is birth to higher life;
All discord is but the fragment of d scale,
Which had man the power to comprehend
Would be replete with harmony divine
We are immortal beings: Infinite
possibilities are inherent in US: Etern-
ty stretc hes out before US: We are
the children of God Let us on this
day return our thanks to our Father
for an existence, for the many bless
ings He has conferred upon us in the
past, and for the glorious heritage
that awaits us beyond the tomb

We hope our contemporary Of the
Democrat, will abandon the license
theory and help to work up senti-
ment in his party in favor Of prohibit
ion. The Democratic party is under
stood as favoring re-submissiOn.
There ought to be, and there are,
individual Democrats who will have
the independence to oppose the resub-
mission movement We hope the ed
itor of the Democrat is one of them.
