Vote for Your Children.

A political speaker who gave an ad.
dress in our city a short time ago urged
tie voters no longer ITO vote for the
Rothchilds, but to vote for your OWE
children"
But the speaker evidently had refer.
ence merely to the financial question,
and was anxious to convince his hearers
that if they would all adopt his views in
regard to silver and il a majority Of this
country would do the same, then, he
claimed, would dawn an era OF prosperity
for our native land, and our children
would be blessed most abundantly in all
material good.
Whatever opinion one may hold as to
the coinage Of silver, it does seem as if
every parent would be ready to follow
that speakers advice to vote for his
children" and can one vote for his child
rem in ny way SO etfectually as to vote
in such a way as to protect them from
the awful curse of the saloon-that
monster Of inlquity that is ever on the
alert to rob the boys and young men, not
only Of money, but of what is of in
~tinltely more value than any amount Of
money.
A better opportunity to vote for ones
children never vas given than will be
offered next November to the voters in
our state, and no doubt every father who
wishes to see his sou grow up to become
a sober, industrious citizen, will vote for
the retention Of our prohibitory law.
The saloon is the plague spot in our
civilization. 1t is the fostering sore Of
immortality. 1t is the black spot
wherein is generated the whitening
scourge of drunkenness. Shut up the
saloons and you may shut up nine-tenths
Of our jails. The road from the saloon
to the poorhouse, from the saloon to the
insane asylum, is white with the bones
OF those who have fallen by the wayside
in distress and agony.-Rev. Father
Doyle.
Theories of cure may be discussed at
