If the preservation of court records

ter of Importance to litigants, what
disappointment and annoyance, not
to say injustice, are in store for our
posterityl Here and there the mutt
lation of such documents has been
found out, but it may be believed
that vastly more of it has not been.
For instance, it is doubtful whether a
single signature of Abraham Lincoln
to court paper can be found attached
thereto. They have been cut out by
curiosity hunters without compunc-
ton or regard for possible future
complications.
! have it from the mouth of an ex.
judge, who knew Lincoln, that this
is true of several counties. An of
iicer Of the present government not
long since boasted at an evening par
ty that he had stolen such signatures
by connivance with the custodian of
the county papers, If similar plum
der has been committed in other
parts of the country, the records must
be in sorry plight, The descent
from autograph stealing to the pill

The Power ofthe Law.

Every criminal is an enemy of SO.
ciety. The aggregation of criminals
constitutes great army at war with
society. 1t costs society-the good
people of the country-an immense
sum of money TO protect themselves

stances it would seem that every law
abiding citizen should always act

pathies to the good rather than the
bad and beware of doing anything to

it is lies IN the fact that crime does

Words of Soberness.

The liquor power is rebel-yea, worse
it is an anarchist. 1t makes very lit
tie difference what law is made for the
regulation, restriction OF suppression of
the saloon; it is violated by the liquor
dealers, and its violation is winked at
or indorsed by the officers and by the
liquor press. In South Carolina there
is open rebellion against the state where
there is supposed to be state control.
Murder to carry ON a crime has been
committed in the name of personal lib
erty. In Nebraska and every other Ii
cense state the license law is defiantly
violated in many of its features 1t was
for trying to enforce a license law that
Colonel Watson B. Smith was assassinat-
ed in Omaha few years ago. Dealers in
local option states are as lawless and
murderous. In prohibitory states there
are conspiracy to rebel, open rebellion,
murders and anarchy on the part of the
liquor element, The cry Of Prohibition
doesn't prohibit" is a shameful confes-
sion that the liquor power will not obey
the law. Its oft repetition in liquor pa
pers is the rebel cry of success or the
anarchist shout of victory. Every man
who can say without grief or indigna-
tion Prohibition doesn't prohibit" is
at heart an anarchist or rebel. Chicago

His action and words broke the spell
One after another arose. The Spirit of
God was upon them. Women prostrated
themselves and blessed God, while the
men took a stand for God and humanity
as they had never done before.
When nearly all the men in the vast
audience had risen, one man mounted
the platform and proposed that league
be organized for the purpose of carrying
ON an active crusade against the saloon
and especially to convince church mem
bers of their completely with the ac-
cursed business.
The organization was effected, and a
warfare is now in progress which bids
fair to drive the saloons from our city
in short time The notorious Bill
Bourbon has quit the business, and it is
already an uncomfortable place for sa-
loon keepers, and it is becoming popular
to be q Prohibitionist.

fight the liquor business. Could you have
been elected here without our votes?
Legislator-No. could not.
King Booze-Were you elected here
ON a prohibition platform?
Legislator-No, but many church
members and temperance people voted
for me.
King Booze-They voted for you be-
cause you was the nominee of the party,
and you are here to represent the party
and not yourself. Is your party in favor
of prohibition?
Legislator-No.
King Booze-Well, then, what right
have you to represent your party? When
the church people want prohibition, they
will vote for the Prohibition candidates,
but so long as they vote with our party,
and you can't win without the liquor
vote, the liquor men are going to have
their way in this country. Now what
are you going to do about it?
Legislator-Sire, will do your bid
ding, for I desire to return here next
term, and the church people will vote
for me anyway, so I have nothing to
lose and everything to gain by obeying
tho commands Of KING ROOza I am
yours.
King Booze-That's right, you do as
command, and you will be reelected,
and your party will continue to have
the offices.
