prosecuting the crime produced by sa-
looms and to support the pauperism
manufactured by them.
Fellow citizens, this is crucial time
in the history of our State. Duty
calls men Of moral con victions 20 the
front. We may not DC able to
achieve all that we desire, but We can
all do right and be right, and princi-
pie honestly stated and urged, will
not he without beneficial effects on
the commonwealth.
The Executive Committee have
been instructed 10y the convention TO
adopt vigorous policy in carrying
out the principles adopted. In behal
of the committee and the great cause
we represent, ! beg Your earnest co.
operation.
Efficient assistance can be rendered
by holding public meetings to- keep
alive and increase interest in the
question of Prohibition. This is es-
pecially important in "dry" territory
where there is danger of relaxation.
Ministers can render timely service
by preaching on the Importance OF
righteousness in government. Edi-
tors, friendly to the cause, can aid by
keeping the subject before their read
ers. Many can write articles to the
press on the right side. And espec-
tally, all can aid by cooperating in the
methods employed by the Executive
Committee while the Constitutional
Convention is in session.
Your fellow citizen,

The LEADER was q little unfOrtu-
nate in its issue of last week in the
expression that the Jefferson delega-
ton to the Pictorial convention "dog-
gedly refused TO accept" Applewhite.
"PersiStentlyrefused" would have been
the better term, and was the only idea
we really intended to convey. While
the delegations from both counties
were very persistent in maintaining
the claims of their respective candi-
dates -Lincoln's fully as much as JEFF
was total absence of
any thing like morose obstinacy or ill
temper on either side, and men never
disagreed more good humoredly on
any occasion than the members of that
each side trying to carry
out its honest convictions.

Attorney, Clay Co., Tex. Says: "Have
used Electric Btters with most happy
results. My brother also was very low
with Malarial Fever and Jaundice, but
was cured by timely use of this medicine.
Am satisfied Electric Bitters saved his
life."
Mr.. d. 1. Wilcoxon, of Horse Cave,

positively believes he would have died,
had it not been for Electric Bitters.

While Lincoln naturally regrets not
getting her expressed choice, the out
come of the fOatOrial deadlock was
a most fortunate and satisfactory one.
A more competent and suitable man
could not have been found in either
county than Hon. r. H. Thompson.
He will easily take rank among the
foremost men that are to sit in the
Constitutional Convention, and en-
trusted to him the peoples interests
will be in safe hands.

In spite of intense and honest opposit- ion from those who doubted his fitness for the responsible office, NJ. J. Bradley has been elected to succeed Judge of Pro- bate Beecher. This is one of our most important local offices, for the property of widows and orphans comes under it's control. It is not an office to be filled by a drunkard, nor for the display of such fragrant robbery as is charged upon one of our recent caucuses. Character is needed here, but no man should be pre- judged and the BEE trusts that Judge elect Bradley may realize the responsi- Utilities soon to be his and conduct him. self in such manner as to deserve the confidence of all, without regard to par ty.

VOLUME XIII.

The campaign which ended with Tues days election was distinguished by out rageous and boisterous drunkenness. The contest, especially the local fight for judge of probate, WAS bitter In the ex- treme and, as In the case in times of ex- citement, passion was fired with excess of drink. Particularly on election day, when all saloons are supposed to be le- gaIly closed, was drunkenness most shameless and the violation of law and decency most rampant. This directs atten- tlon to Newtown's strange indifference to the fearful ruin of rum and prostitu- ton going on under the very eyes of the people and of officials paid to execute the laws. One would think that we had enough licensed saloons to satisfy all who drink, but the unlicensed places are far too numerous or, like n recent pest open ed In Hattertown, sell on United States license. Both licensed and unlicensed, saloon and brothel, make no bones of selling to minors and drunkards and do their most thriving business by desecrat- ing the Sabbath quiet. Far more dis couraging than even this state of things, with it's attendant rot and ruin of immor- tal beings and the suffering of wives and children In drunkard's homes, is the pub- lie indifference that laughs at the drunk ard, but takes no lively interest in the ruin wrought. A solitary voice crying In the wilderness Is vain to stem the cur rent of desolation, but God speed the day when press, pulpit and public shall arouse to the danger. The drunkards may be beyond the reach of all save the mercy of a good God, but shall nothing be done to defend the young from being openly sucked into this disgraceful vor- tex2 What say yde,, as responsible be- ing?
