WHISKY AND THE BALLOT-BOX.
Bishop Galloway Denounces 1t as the PO-
tent Agent of Political Corruption.

Bishop >Galloway Denounces 1t as the Po-
tent Agent of Political Corruption.
But what might we not reveal as to
its corrupting influence in our cleo
tions! Much is said in these latter
/ days about the integrity and purity of
the ballot-bOX. This is the shibboleth
of political parties and the ideal dream
OF republican governments. Presi-
dents and governors, senators and ju-
rists, in message, grafton and opinion,
all agree to its absolute necessity.
Without "a free ballot and fair count"
republicanism is shameless failure
and derision. This is the profound
conviction of all statesmen and patri-
OTIS, without regard to party ties and
prejudices. But such a dream has not
been realized. dare to say-and with
full knowledge of the meaning of the
words-that pure ballot in a State,
county or section where whisky is dom
inant is unknown and an impossibili-
ty. The law we have which commands
the closing of saloons on election days
is only closing the stable door after
the horse has escaped. Whenever and
wherever whisky is used to influence a
vote, the ballot is corrupted and indie
pendent citizenship is lost in the swill-
tub. Yet it is we'll known that liquor
and low doggeries are often the most
important and efficient factors in cam
paign machinery. This is the popular
argument with 'the masses" In some
sections it will influence more votes
than all platforms and principles, all
eloquence and craftsmanship. What
are these dull platitudes in compari-
son with the persuasive power of rye
and "red-eye" A bar-room can con
troll votes when all manly and honora-
BILE argument and tactics have signally
and sadly failed. l charge whisky as
being today the prince of ballot-bor
suffers. 1t is the menace of an I'M
trammeled suffrage. If we are to ex-
alt the dignity of American citizenship
and preserve the purity of our institu-
lions, we must protect the ballot from
the degradation of the doggeries. No
man who leagues with vice and courts
the influence of whisky is worthy to
represent an honorable constituency.
Let him herd with the companions of
the still" but never disgrace a posi-
ton of public trust.-From Handbook
of Prohibition by Bishop Galloway.
The above true and eloquent ar
raignment of the liquor traffic by
Bishop Galloway reads like The LEAD
ER EXTRA, issued just before the sec
ond Democratic primary. It should
be borne in mind at the approaching
election, and it should be specially
and continually borne in mind by all
of our people who profess to be Prohi-
bitionists, yet are giving their allegi-
ance to the Democratic party, which
is the open and avowed friend of the
liquor traffic.

"A snort history OF Il Bau malady by an

This is the way chronic catarrh usu-
ally begins: A person catches cold
which hangs on longer than usual.
Then follows sensitiveness of the air
passages, which inclines to catch cold
very easily. At last the person has a
cold all the while seemingly. More or
less discharge from the nose, hawking
from the throat, nostrils stopped up,
full feeling in the head, and cracking
in the ears. The Pc ru-na treatment
for this disease is the only treatment
that has withstood the test of time.
Pe-ru-na should be taken without in
terruption until every symptom disap-
pears.

of the corrupting influence of the Ii
quor traffic in politics, and the ire
mendous power it yields in that way
Mr.. Thompson asserted incidentally in
another part of his speech that the Re-
publican party sprang into existence
and first attained to power on q moral
issue, and he was correct in this, but
we suppose that was ian off year" for
practical politics
The very truth is, the modern Dem
ocratic party itself has but one dom
inant idea or principle, and that
is, stick to the party-RIGHT OR
WRONG!
1t has since dawned ON few of the
members of the Democratic club that
Mr.. Thompson ''sized them up" and
concluded that they were about as sap
headed and credulous as the snake
chasing Populists he described. At any
rate, some of the boys have been eau
cussing, and they have decided before
they call on him to speak again they
will give him plenty of time to pre-
pare and harmonic his facts and his
logic.
Presumably as clincher to his 9TH
er extravagant assertions, Mr.. Thomp-
son declared that the editor of The
LEADER, by carrying Prohibition into
politics, is doing far more harm to the
Prohibition cause than the three best
known antics in Brookhaven all put
together. OF course no sensible, I'M
prejudiced man believes any such
thing, and it is more than doubt
full whether Mr.. Thompson, in his mo-
ments of sober reflection, believes it
himself. We can come nearer than
that telling what it is that is retarding
the progress of this great reform. 1t
is because Christian men and profess
ed friends of Prohibition and morality
like Mr.. Thompson are shutting their
eyes, sealing their lips and paralyzing
their influence on this question by
voting with and giving their support
to whisky party, which they know in
advance is going to perpetuate the in
famous liquor traffic, until their
very professions of friendship to
the Prohibition cause have come to be
regarded by the liquor men themselves
only as sounding brass and tinkling
cymbal."
At the election soon to take place
Mr.. Thompson and the ex-saloon-keep-
ers he named in his speech as less
harmful to the cause of Prohibition
than the editor of The LEADER, will
vote the same whisky party ticket, and
they will vote for men for the Legisla-
ture who will use their influence to
set Prohibition back rather than adj
vance it.
1.-Two men went up with their ballots to vote;
The one was Christian, the other q bloat,
The one carried with him the Word of God,
The other license to sell .forty-rod;'
But the angel above saw with wonder and shame
That the ticket they voted read EXACTLY THE
SAME"

schemes; political trickery. " WebSter'S
Unabridged Dictionary.
Probably in speaking Mr.. Thompson
had uppermost in mind Webster's Sec
ond definition, but if so, all the worse
for his contention. Surely a traffic
which costs the people of this Nation
s1,2O0,O0O,OOO a year, sends 100000 per-
sons to drunkards' graves, produces
three fourths of the crimes of the land,
fills our asylums with inmates and
leaves in its wake countless destitute
widows and helpless orphan children,
does not contribute to 'the preserva-
ton of" the Nations "safety, peace
and prosperity" And if Prohibition
will destroy this traffic and secure to
the Nation ''the protection of it's citi-
zens in their rights, avith the preserva-
ton and improvement of their morals, -
unless Webster is wrong and Mr..
Thompson right, it is the most stupen-
dous unsettled political issue of the
day.
Mr.. Thompson, in his effort to BELT
tie Prohibition as political issue, al
legged that it is as senseless to try to Or
ganize an anti-liquor party as it would
be to try to organize party to prohib-
it the changing of tags on hogs or a
party to suppress larceny, etc.
To this we have only to say, let any
political party in this country go to Ii
censing hog thieves or any other open
form of larceny and make the State a
sharer in the stealage as the Demo
cratic and Republican parties are do
ing in reference to the infamous, i'm
moral liquor traffic, and it would be
but very short time before there
would be an anti-larceny party organ
lied from one end of the country to
the other. And we predict further,
unless Mr.. Thompson and others like
him, had the same loose and conven-
lent notions about common honesty
and political morality they are now
displaying on this Prohibition ques-
ton, they would be among the first to
join the anti-larceny party and put
down the thieves and their political
hackers.
Much ado has been and is still being
made of the tariff by the two
old parties as political issue.
A report before us from the
Secretary of the Treasury, giving the
receipts of the Government for the
last two fiscal years under the Cleve-
land administration, shows that near
ly as much money was collected in the
way of internal revenue taxes on alco-
holic liquors as by the tariff or
customs duties, included in the latter
being the duty collected on imported
liquors.
Here we have the general Govern
ment actually in partnership with the
bloody traffic to the extent of over
800, 600 900 a year as Uncle Sans part
of the profits, and yet Mr.. Thompson
poo-poohs Prohibition as NOT being q
political question.

We can't undertake in short news
paper article a review of all Mr..
Thompson said. Suffice it to say he
reached the climax of his undi-
gested and illogical speech when he
ridiculed the party Prohibitionists as
set of visionary cranks and declared
that Prohibition is moral and not a
political question, and that it is foolish
and impracticable to try to build up a
political party on any such issue.
The idea that a political question
can have no moral side to it, or that a
moral issue has no place in politics, is
a dangerous doctrine, and could only
have been suggested by the moral de-
generacy of the party to which Mr..
Thompson belongs. This notion of
Mr.. Thompson and his party that a
moral question has no place in politics
is not shared by Webster, the great
photographer. Here is the way Web
ster defines the word politics:
"POlitics-1. The science of gov
eminent; that part of ethics which has
to do with the regulation and govern
ment of nation or State, the preser-
walton of its safety, peace, and prosper
| ity; the defense of its existence and
rights against foreign control or con-
quest, the augmentation of its strength
and resources, and the protection of
its citizens in their rights, Uith the
preservation and improvement Of their
morals.

party; the advancement of candidates

TRUSTS GOING UNDER,

The downfall of the Cordage trust
followed closely by the passage of
the Whiskey trust into the receiv-
ers hands proves the truth Of the
prediction made by many journals
In the United States, that in form
ing combines to control the mark
cts, the large business firms were
sowing the seed of their own fail
ure, and sooner or later the trusts
must go to pieces under the oper-
alton of natural law, if not by
their own weight. Those combines
protected by special legislation,
alone continue to hold the power
exercised at the time of their
inception.

APPROPRIATIONS for the improve
ment of the educational facilities
of a country are always in order,
and in fact are particularly timely
when the necessity of larger and
an increased number of school
houses in the country districts is
SO evident as today. During the
past year there has been an in
crease Of 500 pupils in the average
attendance at the Government
schools, and there are fully 1000
children, born in the country and
of school age, who are without
proper schooling facilities. In
some districts the schools have
outgrown the present accommoda-
tons and recitations are held under
the trees. Teachers are doing the
best work possible with the funds
and material placed at their dis
posal, but at the same time both
teachers and pupils are placed at
great disadvantage under the pres
ent conditions. The appeal for
funds, which the Board of Educa-
ton makes is by no means unrea-
sonable and it is the duty of the
Legislature to remove all the
stumbling blocks possible from
the pathway OF advancing educa-
tional interests.

cordage being left to themselves

"The old idea of a monopoly
was a business reserved by govern
ment grant to a corporation in re-
turn for a certain yearly payment.
Thus the tobacco trade has been
made monopoly in some countries,
partly for the revenue to be obtain
ed therefrom, partly for the easy
regulation of the business. There
can not, however, be true monop-
oily in any article which all men
are free to make or sell. The trusts
aim to get control of the market
for one article or another by assoc
iating together all manufacturers
or dealers, but the moment they
get well started on a profitable bust
ness, based on their so-called mo-
nopoly, some one else enters into
competition. He must be under
sold or bought off, and no sooner
has ne been put out OF the way be-
fore another arises, and the process
must be repeated. The time always
comes when the trust has become
so far inflated that it collapses, IN
less indeed it has been sustained IN
some way by government grants or
favors. The temptation to get con-
troll of a market so as to squeeze
the buyer is very great, for fortunes
may be made before natural COM
petition has had a chance to organ
ize, but in the end the self-consti-
tuted trust or monopoly fails, for
the simple reason that it has, in
reality, no exclusive authority to
make or sell. Before it reaches the
point of collapse, however, it may
have done great injury to the buy
ing public and to honest competi-
tors. For this reason lawmakers |
should be especially careful not to
give the trusts or combines any adj |
over the individual. AL
though the evil will correct itself in
time, it is an evil as long as it lasts
and imposes heavy taxes upon the
community"
