who are fit to be legislators-it is for such
men to move in this matter. Men who

reach down into the depths of degradation

Land and the Bible.

Since Government is the ordinance of
God, it is morally bound TO conform to the
laws of the Creator. It's only safety is in
obedience.
The first law of the Creator is, that and
is to be used for the support OF population,
of a moral, intelligent and healthy popnla-
ton. The State, as Gods minister, is to
enforce this law.
When we look about us we see a large
portion of land-God's land-devoted to
the production of an article that causes
more poverty and more crime than any
thing else. Such a use of land is plainly
unlawful. 1t is a violation of the condition
on which land is bestowed upon men. The
Government, the Creators agent. is bound
to see to it that the terms of the grant are
complied with by occupants of the land.
The plain duty of Government is to extir-
pate the traffic in intoxicating beverages.
This can not be done by high license or by
local option that treats the traffic as a mat
ter that is indifferent in its natule. 1t can
only be done by prohibition, national and
bCbhbCs Niti oAANSic1
State, county and municipal, to enforce the
law. This traffic should be prohibited by
the Government, no simply because it is
immoral, nor because it is injurious, nor
because it is politically c%orrupting. These
are all good reasons for supprcssing it.
The reason we urge is different. The dis
tiller, brewer and ~saloonkeeper use land,
Gods land, not to benefit people, but to
impoverish and debase them. Such a use
Of land is unlawful. The easiest way to
prevent it is to prohibit the traffic. The
farmers who raise grain for the distillers
and brewers are also guilty of misusing
their land. AS the grain is bought in the
open market, the only way to prevent this
misuse of agricultural land is to forbid the
trade.-FrOm "Ine Bible and Land" by
Req. James y. Conyerse.

Frances WIZARDS Autobiography.

Miss Frances E. Willard is spending the
winter months in a novel fashion. She is
under contract to write her autobiography,
in response to the request of the National
Woman's Christian Temperance Associa-
ton. Receiving twenty-five to seventy
five letters daily, visitors without cessation,
and the leadership of both the Worlds
and National Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union and the Woman's National
Council, she failed to find time to write
her book. Thereupon, with her secretary,
Miss Anna Gordon, Miss Willard c%oncoct-
ed a plot to drop quietly out of her accus-
toned haunts, leaving nobody tho wiser
but her publisher.
AS Miss Willard will celebrate her semi
centennial on the 28th of September next
she entities the book, 'Glimpses Of Fifty
Years; the Autobiography of an American
Woman" There is a prospect of its ap-
pearing simultaneously in England under
the title of "a Prairie Girls Career"
Frances Willard is the frankest of women
both by name and nature, and those who
nave seen advance sheets say there is moth
ing conventional about the work, but it is
III -hand, fresh and altogether the most
unique self revelation of the time.
1t will be plentifully illustrated and
about the size of Mrs. Mary A. Liver
more's admirable 'Story of the War"
There is hardly a contemporary philan-
thropist or reformer whom Miss Willard
does not know, besides a majority OF the
leading literary lights of our land, and she
will silhouette these besides giving a mar
Iatiye account of her curious childhood on
a western prairie (though her ancestors
founded Concord, the literary centre of the
nation, and several of them were Harvard
Presidents, Boston preachers, etc. }, her
odd, inventive school days, brilliant cpl
sode as a teacher, two years and more OF
foreign travel, leading her to almost every
European capital and as far east as Damas-
Gus, Baalbek and the Volga banks in Rus
STA; her Presidency of a woman's college
and career as Professor in the Northwest
ern University at Evanston, ILL.,, her home,
and closing with her fifteen years of ma
tional fame as a reformer, organizer, speak
er and Gospel politician" as she claims
to be.
The book will appear about the list of
March, and the demand for this interesting
volume is already large.

The crowd that spent yesterday in Wash

discouraged a lot as ever one met. The
rain that began on Saturday lasted all day,
and amusement was hard to find, except
for the class of people who like to attend
variety theatres on Sunday. In the after
noon the Cowboy Band gave an alleged
musical entertainment and at night
hnmorist Bill Nye and James Whitcomb
Riley occupied the theatre. At the lead
ing vaudeville theatre, two sacred con-
certs', consisting OF the usual vulgar pro-
grams, were given, and at midnight anoth-
er began. The saloons did a thriving bust
ness and not even a decent pretence Of
closing was made. The Police Court had
its hands full. holding extra sessions.
Thieves were arrested by the dozen. Troops
kept crowding in up to Sunday at midnight
