BROOKHAVEN, MISSISSIPPI, TUESDAY, AUGUST H. 1894.
A Clear Statement,

The liquor oligarchy of this country
is more systematically organized and
better equipped for its work Of self
perpetuation than is any political party
for its undertakings of whatever nature.
A clearly revealed feature of its
method is to keep political parties so
intensely antagonized on industrial and
financial issues that the cause of tenn
perance reform will escape attention. 1t
cares not whether protection or free
trade shall be the national policy, but 1t
believes in keeping up the fight ON that
issue. On the silver question it has no
position except to rake all the silver in
to its own strong box, but it applauds
both Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Lodge for so
keeping up the silver fight that the
liquor nuisance may continue without
disturbance
The Traveller has many times de-
clared its conviction that the honest con-
sideration of the public welfare shows
that the liquor nuisance has claim
upon public attention superior to that of
all other issues, and from this position
we do not expect to recede -Editorial
in Boston Traveller
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-08-14
st. John on Prohibition Papers.

In one of his famous speeches st.
John, in discussing the efforts of Secre-
tary Of State Blaine to develop the beer
business in South America, said:
"a few months ago an old church
deacon said to me, st. John, l am red
hot, and said: Thank the Lord, dea-
con. 1 have been waiting for something
to thaw you out for the last 10 years.
What is the matter?' Said he, Il have
just learned that the government is pro-
noting the beer business. My gra-
cious, you just found that out?' And
lie said, Yes. Said /, What papers
have you been taking?' L have taken
the Chicago Tribune for 10 years and
the New York Tribune nigh to 40
years. l said, What Prohibition pa
pers have you been taking? Said he:
To tell the truth about it, haven t
taken any. You see my eyesight has
not been good for tho last 10 years l
said, Deacon, you take Prohibition
paper, and you will find it mighty good
for the sore eyes of q Christian. 4"
His advice is good for thousands OF
Prohibitionists who neglect or refuse tc
take Prohibition paper.

When the smallpox and yellow fever
break out in community, there is an
immediate and thorough investigation
into the causes of the disease, and the
most stringent methods are at once
adopted and enforced for the eradica-
ton of the cause. No one ever thinks
to assert that sanitary laws cannot be
enforced. But when thousands of vic
TINS to the drink evil, unquestionably
a disease, fall all around us we license
the cause, then propose to tax the peo-
pie to build bichloride of gold institutes
to practice what has proved to be very
far from satisfactory methods of cure.
Wouldn't common sense suggest that
we eradicate the cause and put quar-
antine on the saloon keeper?
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-08-14

The Prohibitionists are forcing to the
front an issue that appeals for support
to the noblest elements in mans char
acter. 1t appeals to his love for human
ity, his patriotic zeal for his country's
future and his desire to see his fellow
beings reach that ideal manhood and
worthy of the exalted position he holds
in being created in the very image of
God himself, and from which position
he has fallen TO level with the beast.
The issue of itself is great. Let not our
force be divided on minor questions,
manufactured in the brains of unscru-
pulous politicians. Let Us push our
cause to the front with unwavering zeal.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-08-14

History is being made just now in
this country that will thrill future
ages. The saloon is bound to be throt-
tied, and the work is going grandly for
ward. Our old party friends will smile
at this statement, but those who watch
closely the political skies know that
public sentiment is making tremendous
strides toward prohibition. High license
is the last compromise measure invent
ed by the devil and supported by the
politicians and their dupes to keep away
prohibition, but it will not avail. These
temporary devices of the liquor men and
their friends only go to prove that the
way to regulate the saloon is to cut off its
head,
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-08-14

A political party, like tree, grows
in two directions-downwar and up
ward. The Know Nothing party grew
upward very fast-so fast, in fact, that
it got top heavy, and over it went The
Abolition party, on the other hand, had
been growing downward, and after its
roots had penetrated deep into the rocks
of public opinion it began to grow up
ward very rapidly until it elected Lin
coin and established freedom. The old
Republican tree has been whitening for
the past 10 years, and it is only mat
ter of a few years before it goes down.
The Prohibition tree hasn't been grow
ing above ground very fast, but its
growth downward into the hearts and
consciences of the people has been very
sure. Mushroom parties have come and
gone, but the Prohibition party has
withstood all the storms. The Peoples
Party is going to grow above ground
like the Know Nothing party and topple
over, but after the storm has cleared the
Prohibition party will still be there, and
around it will gather the best people of
this nation. The victory is bound to
come!

A Statesman's Words.

To preserve the government we must
also preserve correct and energetic
tone Of morals consisting more in the
habits of the people than in anything
else. There are always men wicked
enough to go to any lengths in the pur-
suit of power if they can find others
wicked enough to support them. Ambi-
tious men must be restrained by the
public morality. When they rise up to
do evil, they must find themselves
standing alone. Morality rests ON reli-
gion. If you destroy the foundation,
the superstructure must fall.-Daniel
Webster, July 4, 1902.

Imprisoning the rumsellers diminishes

Imprisoning the rumsellers diminishes
public drunkenness. The Jail prohibits.
-Rockland (Me.) Tribune.
1t does nothing of the kind. Sending
saloon men to Jail does not reduce the
sale of liquor any more than arresting
prostitutes purifies the morals of a COM
munity. indianapolis Right and Free
dom League Organ).
And, according to your logic, sending
criminals to Jail does not reduce crime
nor improve the morals of commu-
nifty. Therefore let US do away with all
laws; then we shall have no lawbreak-
ers! If you will take look through
your brewers report, you will discover
that the jailing of rumsellers has done
considerable to reduce the sale of intox-
icants in Maine and Kansas.

Tho Democratic state committee is
still absolutely in the control of the fol-

have been voting with the Hill Democ-
racy on state issues in order to insure
liberal treatment at Albany. This rep
resents at least 10, 900 or 90, 900 votes.

WOnan's Ballot.

1t is a matter for surprise, too, that
the questions in which women are far
more deeply and vitality interested than
men are submitted exclusively to men,
the women having no voice in matters
that either make or destroy the happi-
ness of their homes and their lives.
Who can doubt that if the question of
obliterating the liquor traffic from the
state were submitted to all the citizen
ship Of Pennsylvania, including women
as we'll as the men, there would be a
single saloon left open in the state, from
the Delaware to the Ohio or from the
New York boundary to Mason and
Dixon's line? Not one would be left if
the people-that is, all the adult citizens
of both sexes-were admitted to vote ON
that question, and yet that is the only
way upon which the sense Of the "peo-
pie of Pennsylvania, all the people,
can be taken on that vital issue Phil

The mysterious disappearance of a
man named Gloystem, who lived near
Spokane, is attracting widespread at
tention, principally because it is be-
lieved that he has been murdered,
and that by members of the Freeman's
Protec tive Silver Federation. He had
his name proposed as member of that
organization, but after taking the oath
and being told there was yet time for
him to withdraw, he took advantage of
it and refused to go further. He was
an ardent republican and denounced the
association. Soon afterwards he was
called to his door about midnight and
went outside. Since that time he has
not been seen, but his bloody hat was
found hundred yards from the house.
1t is supposed he was murdered and the
body hauled away and thrown in the
river

ion that few days by the seaside would

either to be signed or let alone, the
president will probably need to have his
nerves strengthened.

Some of our exchanges have gone daft
over railroad building. According to
their ideas, the Union Pacific is going to
purchase the Oregon Pacific and build
through from the Short Line to connect
with it. There is one fact that seems to
be overlooked and that is that the Union
Pacific is financially dead. 1t is in the
hands OF receiver, is indebted to the
government some $50, 900, 900, and could
not raise money enough to buy a peanut
stand. Besides the country through
which the road would pass is much OF it
unproductive, or devoted to stock rails
ing and would furnish but little traffic
for railroad. The o. R. & N. is now
able to handle all the through business
of all the roads, and have plenty of time
left, to handle as much more.
