Ono of the most interesting speeches
in favor of prohibition ever delivered
in this town, was that of Mr.. M. H. KIff
at the Baptist church last Thursday
night. Mr.. Kitf is merchant at Tower
City. Because of his deep and absorb
ing interest in prohibition he leaves his
business and trayels about the state,
at his own charges, to stir up the souls
of the faint.hearted to vigorous action
in maintaining the present liquor law Of
the state, which he affirms is being we'll
enforced over the state, and is growing
in popularity He believes in organic
alton and came here to organize. His.
mission is to organize men to support
no one for local or state office who will
not maintain the present liquor law.
He don't believe in having another
party-a distlnctively prohibition party
but let democrats and republicans
support none but men IN sympathy with
the present law. Mr.. Kiff is strong,
businesslike, common sense speaker.
and no one can listen to him without
pleasure and profit. What he said about
enforcing the law in such place as
this was alone we'll worth the whole
evening to hear. Those who failed to
be cut missed grand treat.

am glad winter is about to depart
and our bright summer days coming,
when we shall enjoy preaching and
Sunday school again. Now that sets
me thinking and wondering. How
much effort and will will there be put
forth to attend our meetings. How
many heads on Sunday morning will
ache, how the horses will be saved, how
the weather will be watched for fear a
suspicious cloud may hinder, and how
the distance will be measured between
home and church, and innumerable
other excuses. Did you ever think it
over: Does 1t concern you: How we
do risk health, life and character even

your toe to the fiddlestring.

cf the Wilson bill as it passed the
House of Representatives: On
looking it over we find the following
articles on the free list: Dragons
blood, an article for which our farm
ers will no doubt need quite extern
sively. They will probably ship it
in in carload lots. Eggs are also
free. That will no doubt send up
the price Of eggs, especially when
Canada ships her hen fruit into the
U. S. free. That will help the farm
er out in great shape. Fossils are
free. We have an over production
of old fossils now. Of course they
are a necessity. Ice is another
commodity that is on the free list.
We are over stocked with ice up
here, and farmers will give 1t away
for the asking. This is another nee
essary article. Loadstones is another
necessary article on the free list. The
Courier has lot of them which we
intend to shoot at the voters during
the coming campaign. All free.
Milk is also on the free list. That's
all right. Milk is luxury in town
at present, and this industry ought to
be on the free list. Newspapers are
are on the free list. Correct That
is our impression after sizing up the
array of delinquents to the Courier.
Snails are also free. They are a raj e
article in this country and ought 10
be placed on the free list to encour-
age importation from outside coun-
tries. They are a delicious dish
when served hot. Spunk is on the
free list. We think "spunk" ought
to be protected, as the farmer needs
to keep all the spunk he has, got to
gulp down the present season OF con-
fdence and prosperity under this ad-
ministration. Straw is on the free
list. Our farmers have straw to
throw at the birds. Straw should
be taxed. Turtles are free to wad-
die across the boundary. and as they
are necessary article for daily con-
sumption among laboring classes
they should be free. There are
numerous other articles on the free
list that are worthy of mention but
space forbids. We would advise our
farmers to get copy OF the Wilson
bill, cut out the free list, get pro-
tected picture frame. put the free list
in it and hang it in the front parlor.
1t will help to restore confidence.
