Westerly (R. I.) Tribune-No true
man can long be satisfied with a reli-
gion that does not control the votes of
those who profess to be its devotees
California Prohibitionist-The Re
publican party is license party and
our Prohibition friends in that party
ought to recognize that fact and act
accordingly.
Dover IN. J. Journal-The saloon is
the most bitter enemy of God. To
vote for one is to vote against the
other. No man can possibly be a
friend of both.
The Organizer-Greate encouragement
is derived by English temperance work
ers from the fact that the Queens
speech, recently delivered, is the first
to speak of direct local control of the
'liquor traffic"
Milton (Pa.) People-The Prohibi-
tion party cannot die out There is a
principle at stake, and as long as there
is a single human being still held
within the bonds of the liquor traffic,
so long will there be a Prohibition
party fighting and working.
Portland (Me) Herald-There are
twenty Christian voters to each saloon
keeper in the United States yet the
saloons have more political power than
all the churches combined, because the
saloon-keepers vote in the interest of
their business and the church-members
vote against the interest of theirs.

Here's a First Glass Liar.

Arbitrary laws to crush out all
liquor selling, even to beer, are not
tolerated by the people. Prohibi-
tion brings no converts to the temper
ance cause. Its party may gain a
few hundred votes in few years, 1t
may have party of 5000 in Connecticut,
good honest men who believe that arbi-
trary law can and will drive the liquor
traffic out of the State, and promote the
cause of temperance. They vote and at
times they secure the passage of pro-
hibitory law, which is afterwards re-
pealed, as has been the case in twenty
States. Prohibition makes neighborhood
strifes, lawsuits, brings false-swearing,
enmities, and expenses But it brings
no converts to the cause of temperance.
In too many cases, rs we know 1t drives
young men into liquor-drinking club
rooms, and increases intemperance
among those who had been temperate
all their lives. es.-Hartford( Conn., TimsS

THE DEMONS POWER.
Dan Shields Goes Down Victim to the
Whisky-Cup.

Dan Shields Goes Down Victim to the
Whisky-Cup.
Speaking of the death of Dan Shields,
the temperance advocate, the Decauter
Qll.) Sentinel says:
Dan X. Shields after spending years
and years to save others died himself a
drunkard. He was wellknown in this
and adjoining states as an able and
effective lecturer. He was at one time
a preacher of the gospel 1t is said he
was good man when sober and sound
on all moral questions but when un-
der the influence of liquor he was an
other man in every respect How peo-
Pile can favor business that destroys
useful lives we are not able to say.
Captain Shields besetting sin was
strong drink. He was too weak to
control himself and unable 20 extri-
cate himself from this powerful habit
which had eliminated into a disease.
How many thousand are in this condi-
ton and yet they are without sympa-
thy? Instead of the people striving to
remove the causes that produce this
disease they encourage it by their in
fiuences and votes There will be time
of reckoning after a while and these
drunkards win appear as witnesses
against those who have helped by their
vote to license the sale of the stuff that
made them drunkards-"

A Prohibition Party Necessary.
BY w. JENNINGS DEMoRFsr.

The Prohibition movement is one Uf decided,
unmistakable. and permanent success. 1t is
party with moral issue, the only party that
has any claim to the conscientious considera-
ton of the Christian Church, and the only
party that gives any definite indications Of
final and permanent settlement Of this most
important issue ever presented TO the civilized
world. The fundamental principle of the
Prohibition party Is: No compromise with
crime, and Prohibition the only power TO ar
rest the dreadful scourge Of intemperance,
Liquor-sellers and liquor manufacturers are
the most responsible parties, except the voters,
for most of the crime and pauperism of our
country. Liquor-selling legalized out of ex-
istence, the traffic in this crime of death-desl-
ing poison banished by decree of the people.
and the whole question of intemperance is
settled; but we must have
No temporary or half way measures,
No vain hope that we can regulate the evil,
No legalized sanction of the crime.
No Justification of the rum-seller,
No bribery or concession for money consia-
alton,
No compensation adequate for the misery,
suffering, and pauperism that accrues from
the traffic,
No debauchery of the people or our eountry's
best interests; In short,
No concession to the rum seller,
No choosing between two evils when you
have an alternative, but the immediate and
utter annihilation of the business of rum-sell-
ing by Prohibition, and a Prohibition
party to enforce Prohibition when Prohi
bition Is enacted into organic law.
