Special telegram TO Tie Sunday Register.

Sam Small, of Georgia. Not more than 200
persons were present when the meeting
opened After the Silver Lake Quar-
tette had sung several beautiful hymns. the
meeting was lead in prayer by Rev. j. B.
! Helwig, ID. d., Of the State Of Ohio. The
Quartette. by request, sang Levi our
Vice President. The Rev. Small then came
| forward ard at once plunged into the body of
his remarks. After paying glowing tribute
! TO the Union soldiers, he said: What are
we, as Prohibtionists trying 70 infict upon
the people: some new policy for old women
TO go around with flying colors 10 talk
about. Not at all. The whole policy of
the government from the beginning 10 the
| end is constructed on the idea of temper
ance and the prohibitionists march out
with as much loyalty to the constitution as
| the noble men of 81 went forth 10 defend
the Union. Our policy is not TO put any
new Interpretation upon the constitution,
but TO defend the firesdes of our homes,
the homes of Il free people. What matter
to us whether they call US cranks
or not. The saloon keepers DO
not understand the philanthropy
of the prohibition We do not condemn
them. When prohibition is written i'm the
constitution, then these men will thank
the day that this demon which is pauper-
izing these little children, was wiped out.
They say am working for money. II 10
is money wanted | could have gotten $50
a speech by staying in Nebraska and not
come to Noundsville, making speeches on
the other side in favor Of the liquor traffic.
THE REGISTER GETS BLAST.
He then drew from his pocket copy Of
Yesterdays REGISTER and said that the
editor as ne sat up there on his three legged
! 81 I,.I ,1pfr oil Of
ment towards the newspapers and thought
his remarks anything but complimentary.
What could you expect OF paper pub
lished in d city like Wheeling run In the
interest of the liquor traffic. ! would like
the editor of that paper TO show his books
and seeIwhere the money came from during
theProhibition Amendment campaign
havedone journalistic work. l have been AN
employe of papers that had more cOmpe-
tent editors. and that could buy the REGi--
TER establishment, and how know it goes;
! know what kind Of orders
got 1t would be TO give this
meeting over here three line squb ana
write a column and a half for the other. II
| the newspapers are not bought, they put in
such things for the influence they will have
upon the saloon element. The editor OF
the REGISTER had better be doing some
thing else besides attacking men who were
trying 10 elevate the human race from the
degradation of the liquor traffic If the
temperance people would call on the two
great dailies in the city of Wheeling and
quit reading their papers, they wouldn't
run two weeks. | never intend to spend
nickle of my money in the interest Of any
papers that are run in such manner
ABOUT Personal LIBERTY.
They talk about prohibition infringing
! 81 a. a fff 4
marshals are all through the mountains,
bringing them into court and sending them
to the penitentiary for exercising their per
sonal liberty This is the kind of personal
liberty they have. A man goes up 10
Wheeling and finds the deputy collector
and asks if he is the person who attends tO
the business for Uncle Sam.
Yes, sir
We'll want a personal liberty to make
whisky"
All right sir, plank down the CASH"
and then he is written out
permit that at such number

for the space OF one year, and not longer
John Smith. no one else, for it is not trans
ferable, shall have the personal liberty %
use so many bushels of "A certain kind OF
grain and no other. and make so much
liquor, and no more. and after il is made,
not 10 sell a drop, but 10 keep il i'm store
house until the gauger comes around Inc

GELS it, 1t reminds me of one of the per
sonal liberty permits which used 10 be Civ
en- in slave times. have one In my trunk
at the cottage. They would take piece of
paper and write: This is TO certify that
negro Sam, height feet inches, weight
about 100 pounds. scar on right cheek and
! a twinkle OF the right eye, can 20 from the
plantation on certain day between the
hours of d a. m. and q p In., and if he
should be caught out after that time he
shall be dealt with by law" ," which meant
nine and thirty lashcs. And the poor coz
/ Ored boy would stick this I'm his hat band
or pin it on his coat rs a symbol of his per
sona liberty There is not the least dii-
ference in the two permits and still one is
the symbol of personal liberty ami the
other the relic of barborous slavery.
TO ABOLISH THE SALOON.
But they say that intemperance is al evil
that cannot be abolished. ] remember when
they said that slavery could not be abol
ished have a book in my library that my
father gave me 10 read when quite little

| tell a fianne-mOuthed ass who talks about
the impossibility of abolishing the saloon,
| by the size Of his ears and the sound oi his
voice
