All Admit It's Criminalitv.

Linco said, IF slavery is not wrong,
nothing is wrong" and this is equally
true Of rum-selling.
Even if it is not wrong in itself, it
certainly is the prolific cause of nearly
all crime and wretchedness in the COM
munity.
Fully IS per cent of the murders,
burglaries, and other crimes, including
the worst forms of pauperism, impurity
and disease, flow directly from the
traffic in ardent spirits.
If this is true, and all admit ii, Is
there any other scourge, epidemic, or
all the woes of war or pestilence, or all
combined, that will at all compare with
rum-selling in its dreadful havoc and
destruction of human happiness?
The public conscience and the best
interests of the people call loudly and
imperatively for both condemnation
and annihilation, and we should do ii
with all the power, certainty and ra-
pidity that we can bring the moral, re-
ligious and political forces of the people
to bear upon it, and not cease our
efforts or relax our vigilance until the
vile traffic is entirely crushed out OF
existence.

A PRoHIBITIoNIST APPOINTED.
Now Let Him Prove That Prohibition
Can Prohibit.


ABERDEEN, S. D.-iSpecial correspond
ence)-Hon. S. II. Cranmer of this city,
formerly q member of the National Pro-
hibition committee, has about concluded
TO accept the assistant states attorney
ship of Minnehaha county, as urged by
the Huron temperance convention and
favored by Attorney-General Crawford
of Pierre, who has the appointing
power in matters of this kind.
Mr.. Cranmer will, of course, confine
his efforts to the prohibitory law,
which is now dead letter in Mime
haha county, and in accordance will
very likely give his first attention to the
suppression of the brewing interests of
that section, which persist in operat-
ing contrary to law. The convention
at Huron raised 5000 for this work, and
it is believed sufficient funds to make
81, 900 can be raised. 1t is anticipated
that the attack on the brewery means
a long legal controversy through ak
the courts and the expenditure of con-
siderable money, but the Prohibition
forces have counted the cost and pro-
pose to stand by their principles
When they have knocked out the
brewery they will turn their attention
to the saloons, blind pigs, drug stores,
boot-leggers, etc. Mr. Cranmer has
had much experience in enforcement
here and in Edmunds county, and the
Sioux Falls law breakers should prepare
to stand from under when he gets the
