Free Rum and onen Saloons.

DR.. Parkhurst is not deceived
by the specious phrases, which
the New York Democratic Con-
vention throws around its de-
claration for local option for
Sunday liquor selling. If a ma
jority vote in any town can be
secured for a proposition to al
low the saloons to do business
on Sunday that town will enjoy
the inestimable blessing of open
saloons on Sunday. With the
party committed to that doc
trine of what avail are it's hypo-
critical declarations for can
orderly Sunday" and "the inter-
ests of temperance and moral
ity" The convention was
ashamed of its abject surrender
to the demands of the saloon
interest and made feeble at
tempt to cloak its action in
pious phrases.
The excise plank as DR.. Park
hurst reads it means ssfree rum
and open beer saloons on Sun
day" The New York battle in
his judgment is going to be be-
tween ga true Sabbath on the
one hand and an emasculated
Sabbath on the other The
convention might as well have
been more courageous about it
since it did not disguise its in
tention. The Democratic party
in New York State sta nds for
local option as to liquor selling
on Sunday, where men are more
pr one to indulge to excess and
waste their moneyin drink than
on any other day. The party's
slogan-home rule should read
home ruin, for that is what it
means for many firesides. The
desolation of the home and the
proclamation of the Sabbath are
the cardinal principles on which
the Democratic party of New
York solicits the suffrages Of
the people and asks for the con-
troll of the State.
The Republicans, on the other
hand, have squarly taken their
stand for 1.-THE maintenance of
the Sunday laws in the interest
of labor and morality" IF the
New York battle is fought out
right on this issue, as it ought
to be, the moral enthusiasm of
the State will rally to the Re
publican standard and admins
ter an emphatic rebuke to the
party which would make the
observance of the Christian
Sabbath a matter of local OPP
ton. Philadelphia Press.

ORGANIZATION EDUCATION.


| Tyler County Republicans have
taken steps looking to the thorough
organization of the party in that
county. Such action is imperative
there because Of the large influx Of
voters by reason OF the oil develop
ment, but the example given by our
Tyler brethren could be followed with
profit here and not only here but
throughout the State.
The campaign next year will be
holly contested. The real leaders of
the Democratic party who were de-
posed last year will be in charge and
if this State is to be kept in the Re-
publican column, it must be by dint
of hard work. There are two agencies
that exert most powerful influences
over the minds of voters-news-
papers and political clubs pro-
viding for thorough organization
The party paper is instant in season
and out of season. 1t is constantly
hammering the enemy and that one
which presents the strongest argu-
ment in the most foreible manner is
the one which exerts the greatest in
fluence.
1t is ofthe very highest importance
that Republicans get together now
and begin preparation at once to
place Republican literature in the
hands of every doubtful voter. This
can be most effectually accomplished
by forming clubs.
Every practical politician knows
that the voter who reads his county
paper regularly is the one upon whom
he can rely. Such an one does not
have to be hired to exercise the high
est right guaranteed him by the Con-
stitution, but is worker ready trained
for the fray.
On the contrary, let the staunchest
Republican read some nondescript
sheet which is recommended as being
'Just as good Republican paper as
any other, when in fact it is cater
ing to every wind and doctrine for
the sole purpose of gain, at the ex-
pense of principle, and the chances
are he becomes kicker or too indif-
ferent to go to the polls unless hauled
there.
Organization and education win
every time. An army without disci-
pline is nothing more than a mob.
The good general sees to it that his
men are not only drilled but thorough
ly armed and supplied with an abund-
ance of the best ammunition. If we
are to win next year let us have
perfect organization and let us see
that every Republican is supplied
with the Herald or some other staunch
REPUBLICAN, newspaper. That ae-
cornplished and success is certain.

A VOICE FROM TIE SOUTH.

FRIEND SMITH: For fear you might
think we had absconded to some re-
mote corner of the universe, and had
gone into some hole ard pulled the
hole in after us, and thereby hid our
sell from the gaze of the inquisitive
editor, we propose to look up some
fragments of paper on which to scratch
down a few items from this section.
Little Mountain is noted for its
beautiful scenery, its shaded dells, its
deep, dark ravines and wooded land
scapes, its beautiful wild flowers, and
the choicest fruits common to this lat
itude. Not only is this mountain
range famous for the above, but in
this wild and somewhat remote part
of God S everlasting universe may be
found valuable medicinal roots and
herbs for almost all the ills that NOR
tails are heir to. These mountains
abound with an abundance Of iron and
coal and perhaps other precious min
erals only waiting to be developed,
when the party of Protection again
assumes control at the National Capt.
tol.
We feel proud in saying we are ma
tive-born West Virginians, and one
fact we do rejoice in is that West Vir-
ginia did not secede, but stood firm
and loyal to the Federal Government
and that she proved her faith by her
works in furnishing troops tosuppress
the rebellion. Not that we should
haunt again the ''bloody shirt, " or go
down into the grave Of the past to
bring up the ghosts of lost cause. -
No, no; heaven forbid that we should
exult over fallen foe, but do honestly
believe the downfall of slavery has
been the salvation of the Southern
States. Let the doctrine of American
Protection become established in the
South; let manufacturing establish
ments spring up in her cities and
towns, and it will only be a question
OF time when the wealth of the North
will be transferred to the country long
cursed with poverty, ignorance, and
oppression,
Be it known to all who read this,
that it comes from the pen OF one born
and raised south of "Mason and
Dixon's line" one whose domestic
interests have always centered around
southern freside, one whose cheeks
have been famed by the southern
breezes, but one whose heart could
never beat in unison with the cause
of human slavery 1t comes from one
who wore the blue, yet one that feels
deep sympathy for those who fought
and suffered in hopeless cause, one
whose hand is ever ready to grasp
the hand OF those who donned the
gray, across the deep chasm, and say
thank God, we are friends again. Let
us join hands to make this the grand
est Christian country and nation
under the sun. STEEL SQUARE.
P. S.-We wish to call the atten-
ton of our honorable county court to
the fact that some of our public roads
are in an almost impossible condition
for want of being worked. S. S.
