party, so true that when II goes wrong

ahead. / Will no to the polls and
scratch out all the names OF the men

one Sunday In Kansas city the
Christian Endcayurers stood on every
corner In that city and walked 20 and
fro ON every policoman'a beat and
showed the policemen saloons that
were running wide open. The next
morning the young men went up In a
body TO the mayors ONCE and told

the next Sunday they would have n
new mayor next year. on the next
Sunday there was not saloon open.

has come when the daily newspapers
ought 10 be used more and abused
less, They expresa the popular senti-
nenta OF the time, and the reason that
they have printed 80 much aluHh II
because the popular sentiment OF the
times demanded IT, l believe now that
the popular sentiment Of the times de-
mnnds purity OF the American press.
What means the fact that he whom
we called the silver Tongued Orator
OF the South" Who proclaimed his
ideas OF manly purity at our colleges
what means the fact that the power
ful, brainy breckenridge. Hes today n
wreck OF what he was? II IN popu-
lar opinion, and was made so by an
outraged daily American newspaper
press
The editors or the newspapers OF this
country slaughtered the libcrtlne OF
this country and we thank God for
the slaughter. because the sinner was
never penitent. God himself has
taught Us to forgive him who pleads
for forgiveness
We believe. and backing our belief
with our ballots, that purity ought to
rule. and within ten years purity will
occupy the throne OF the realm and
the seepter OF God VIII wave over the
people OF the earth. (Applauae)
