Greenville (O.) Transcript.
Here is some strong argument against
the ProhIbit.onists "Ycs, you are right,
| don't doubt a word you say, but 1
can't just see it that way"
Vineland On. j. Outlook. Tho
individual business of every indi viduli
in the United States is to do his duty.
What the other O., 000. 900 people do is
a matter for separate consideration.
Redlands (CaL) Facts. While
reciprocity is being discussed by Republi-
can leaders, it might be well to remem-
Der that the Prohibition party is the
only party offering genuine reciprocity
to the people.
Monmouth 0ll) Truth. This
moral suasjOn" business makes Us very
tired. You can morally "suase" man
from now to doOmsday and you won't do
any good unless you have the right kind
of law to back your moral suasion.
Beverly Mass Templar. We

pride ourselves upon being a government
''of the people, for the people, by the
people" This is all false; we are not a
government of the people This is a
government for the saloons, for the sa-
looms and by the saloons. How long

Rockford (Ill) Monitor. Poll
tical speakers of all kinds, except Pro-
hibitionists. have hard work to hold their
audiences Prohibitionists have some-
thing to say that interests people, and
people stay to hear them. But speaker
who is compelled to talk for two hours
on so dry subject as the tariff has
hard time OF it. He must be u man OF
unusual ability or he will tire out the
best audience that ever gathered to hear
a stump speaker.
Westerly R. I.) Daily Tribune.
A Westerly gentleman told us last
Saturday that in a cruise about town
one day last week, he met--within a
space OF four or five hours-eighteen
voters who told him of their own ac-
cord that they should vote the Prohibit
tion ticket this fall, for the first time.
Some have previously heen Republicans,
and some had been Democrats. This is
but an indication of what is going on
everywhere all over this broad land.

Chicago Daily News. The evils
of our municipal life do not differ ma
terially from those in other large cities.
II law defying saloons and the gambling
evil are more than ordinarily persistent
in Chicago, il is because these twin pow
ers have in years past acquired strength
| by taking part in city government As
one ministerial critic says: Our city is
| in the condition in which it is because
good men are not good enough to interest
themselves in city affairs. If the city
council absolutely dominated by the sa-
loon interests is to be the censor of every
reform proposed by we'll meaning
mayor or chief of police. the work of re-
generation must necessarily be SLOW"
