Kind reader. will you ponder awhile

country and nation? Ii II was not fol

gentle reader, and answer this question.

lar with the masses, and especially with
the lower classes, for IL Is those that are
running our government to-day. II is
mot the men in Office who govern us
who dare say II IL. Let man work for
principle and he will have to step down
and out. Ii has now come to pass that
III man will not stoop to the lower
lciass, roll out Deer BY the keg, and walk
into the saloon and there order out
whisky 10 al that desire il (snd they are
lmsnv), be had Is well never attempt 10
secure On Office. But all honor to the
man that has manhood enough to refuse
ito stoop so low.
II is far more honor to lose I nomina.
Ition or sn Office from such principles,
than to gain Office In the manner that Il
lie now gained. We we're talking with a
Ivoung man not long since. l said that
that he was rather nice looking young
man 10 stay In such On old corrupt party
les he was IN, aud that be ought to come
|out OF II into pure clean party. He
said that he knew that HE party was not
what II ought 10 be, and that II had
many low down fellows In Il. He said
that his party made him county chairman
st one time, and that 80 many low.
worthless men called 10 eec him that be-
became Disguised, and would not have
the place again. Yes, / said, but vet
on would 20 to the polls and cast your
ballot with that class. and think you
we're doing right. But he said that itl
was not popular 10 be . pr0hibitionist,
that he would have to work for policy
yet awhile. that he never could get al
start Ia HE profession II be did not. Sol
you see that even the young business
men are afraid 10 work for principle orI
the good Of humanity, and even for the
good Of themselves.
But thank God We have some young!
men who will stand up for principle re-
gardless OF policy or the sequences,
and the time is coming when they will
come 10 the front, and the ridden /
and policy men will have to step down |
and out; then right will rule and not
whisky. Oh. moral towards. you had
better consider before Il is too late, for
you will not only have to render On &C.
count to men but 10 God. There Il great
responsibility resting upon the voter OIL,
This land. Some time since We heard oil
young lady cay, and In fact We have
heard many say the same thing, thatll
whisky never had, nor never will hurtlI
hem. Oh, how Inconsistent. They |,
know not what they say when they Say
that. We do not believe there u : man, |,
woman or child in the land but who
have felt the sting Of whisky. Perhaps
lhe minister who has eli his children q
home and around him thinks when he
votes 10 license the traffic that It will
never hurt him or his. Oh, vain delu-
lion, his children are mortal and just %
.pt TO follow q other children. not even
he preachers children are safe Ia this
license land OF ours. We truet that ev-
Try voter who reads THE will consider
we'll what his vote will do II cast with /
Lhe license parties.
