read facts in this column that you may
not see else where. as so very many peo-
pie do not take or read any but one old
political party papers. but my advice is
(or would be- TO read all sides carefully.
and then indorse the best We expect
TO give you nothing but truths, and
would ask you 10 ponder them well.
Our party 10 not bought up BY the whis-

ed . part Of our country. and : very
small portion OF the people. while the
liquor traffic not only is Z curse to the
United States. but the whole world. Il
not only causes suffering In this world,
but in the world to come. would ask
The voter. and especially the Chrissisn
voter, TO ponder this matter we'll. Think
OF the number OF wretched and ruined
homes his vote will help 10 make, or Of
The poor souls that he will help to send
TO the bad world. for does not the Bible
say that mo drunkard shall inherit the
kingdom OF Heavenl- And. also. re-
what il says Of the one that put.

And 10 not the Christian Or minister

hold him even more guilty for several
reasons one 10 the bsrkeeper does his

Ioence either for good or evil, and bic

The reason Why the Christian man or

10 look to them for example more than
