The following letter from Bishop
Stanley on the subject Of prohibition
fully sustains the report of his opinions
on this subject, first published in The
Alert:
FARGO, Dec. Ito The Argus: A
casual chat with my friend Kellogg OF
the Jamestown Alert has found its way
into the papers, and so am compelled
to state my views on prohibition as it
exists in North Dakota. L am con-
vinced that our unique brand Of pro-
hibition is doing incalculable harm to
the state and to many of it's inhabitants,
and making us the laughing stock of all
our observant visitors. There is no
question now about Utopia. The North
Dakota of today Is in question. Whole
sale liquor dealers have informed me
that their sales in this state are nearly
three times greater now than formerly.
Railroad and express men bear testi-
mony to the truth of the liquor dealers
statement. Commercial travellers tell
the same story. Hotel men, who have
no 'blind pig" annex, scarcely know
what to do with the empty whisky bot
ties let in the rooms by guests. Farm
ers, who formerly took drink or two
when in town, now keep jug or five
gallon keg at home. and tipple all the
time. In my many trips through the
state I see and hear these facts, and
such being the case [ contend that the
time has come to make change for tue
better. While carefully refraining from
approving or disapprovlng of prohibition
as theory. I assent that prohibition as
fact is fiat failure in North Dakota.
If the people want prohibition, let them
insist on it's enforcement. If they do
not want it, let them have the courage to
say 60, and do away with it, and IN it's
place give us some means of regulating
the tariff in hell broth.
JOHN STANLEY.
The Argus adds the following editorial
comment:
A letter from Bishop Stanley printed
in this issue of the Argus 10 deserving of
more than passing notice. The bishop
travels extensively through the state, and
his observation compels him to say that
prohibition as fact is Hat failure in
North Dakota. He believes that the
consumption of intoxicants has actually
increased ur der 1t. Wholesale dealers
inform him that their sales in this state
are nearly three times greater now than
formerly. Railroad and express
men bear testimony to the truth OF
the liquor dealers statements. Com
merclal travellers tell the same story.
Hotel men, who have no blind pig annex,
scarcely know what to do with the empty
whiskey bottles left in the rooms by
guests. Farmers who formerly took a
drink or two when in town, now keep a
jug or fve-gallon keg at home, and tip
pie all the time.
This is terrific arraignment OF the
law-as it is enforced. The facts stamp
it az an utter failure. Can 1t be enforced
and made prohibitive? II we judge the
future by the past and present, we must
say 1t cannot be. II not, then it should
be wiped off the statnte books and ex-
plunged from the constitution.

Amelia has pimples, and sores in the
bead,
From humors internal her nose has
grown red;
She's boil on her neck that is big
as bell,
But in other respects she is doing
quite we'll.
And pa has dyspepsia, malaria and
govt,
His hands with salt-rheum are all
broken out;
He is prone to rheumatics that make
his legs swell,
But in other respects he is doing
quite well.
And ma has night sweats and a
troublesome cough,
That all of our doctors can't seem
to drive off;
She wakes every night and coughs
quite spell,
But in other respects she is doing
quite well.
There is nothing like philosophy
to help one bear the ills of life, but
in the case of this family what is
most needed is a good supply of DIR.

Anything for Votes, the Doctrine Of the
Peoples Party.

Will any intelligent thinking West
Virginia Democrat throw his vote
away by casting it for the nominees
of the so-called Peoples party? If
he studies the situation and sees it
in it true light we do not think he
will.
In the heterogeneous convention
recently assembled at Omaha there
was elected almost every fad and
ism in American politics of to- day,
including advocates of the sub-treas-
ury scheme, the single tax idea, free
silver, fiat money, greenbackism,
nationalism, woman suffrage, govern
ment ownership Of railroads and
various other impracticable and
visionary schemes.
The only ties that bind together
these advocates of so many and di-
verse theories ofgovernment are COM
mon opposition to the two great po-
litical parties and common desire
for office. 1t is claimed that the
party is not dominated by politicians,
but it is an indisputable fact that
there were many men in the Omaha
convention who had held office in
one of the leading parties or the
other, and some in both. All the
disappointed disgruntled politicians
of the country, no matter with what
party they have affiliated in the past
have now allied themselves with this
new party, manifestly hoping by so
doing to receive the political honors
which they have despaired of getting
from any other party. From trying
to better the condition of the farmer
the party has degenerated into an
army of greedy office seekers ready
and willing to advocate anything I'M
der the sun that promises political re-
wards for themselves.
No reasonable man can subscribe
to all the doctrines put forth by this
party, why then support its candi-
dates? 1t is sheer foolishness 10 do
so and might result in turning this
state over to the Republicans.
