CLOSE THE SALOON DOOR.
Moral Suasion is Well but Law is Necessary.

Archbishop Ireland says: "a thousand per-
sons will drink when temptation presses upon
them for the hundred who will put themselves
to some difficulty to seek out liquor. Why, our
working classes, we might say, are compelled to
drink and to become drunkards so strong are
the temptations by which they are beset and it
ill becomes their felow-citizens, whom circum-
stances have placed on safe ground, to rebuke
them for their intemperance, while no one lifts
the finger to remove or diminish the fearful
dangers.
''The State alone can save u.s. know we'll
the value of moral suasion, of teachings by
individual example and individual exhortation
But to be satisfied with moral suasion while
an army of lawess liquor-seers is day and night
defending and producing intemperance, is sim
ply trying to heal men wounded on the battle
field, while from safe entertainments persistent
army darkens the sky with shot, strewing the
ground with fresh victims, and winging swift
death to the unfortunate over whom you are
pouring the oil of mercy. \

WI7LSKEY LIE NAILED.


A resubmisson movement like that which is
shaking South Dakota, is a self-confessed
absurdity. In this fight brewers and dstilers
of other states have supplied the bulk of cam
paign funds. In their literature they have put
forth the statement that prohibition is failure;
that there are 800 saloons now running in the
state, that 500 "bootleggers' are doing business
there, and that 700 drug stores sell liquor as
beverage.
If prohibition be such failure, then why
did the liquor manufacturers pay $25 900 to con-
duct the campaign of resubmission two years
ago? If saloons and "joints" are so wide open,
why don't the drink makers let resubmssion
alone and 60 on about the business of supplying
these 1900 places where intoxicants are sold?
The truth is that they know it is not fail
ure; they know that long the slightest
stress of laws rests upon the traffic it is to that
extent impeded; they know that so long as the
constitution or the law prevents one saloon
from doing business, prohibition is not failure!
In expressing a willingness to pay $4,000 to
bring the question to a vote of the people, the
nti-prohibitionists have demonstrated how little
they believe in the failure of the law; they
know that it is working detriment to the trade,
and for this reason they want the constitution
and the law set asde.-Chicago Record, Sept.
18, 1896.

LIQUOR AND BUSINESS.
Do not Have to Guzzle Beer to be Prosperous

One of the highest salaried travelling men
making Kansas was talking with a Wichita
reporter the other day of the prohibition law of
Kansas and said: II make all the towns in
eastern Kansas and western Missouri, and I
want to say that all this talk of prohibition
hurting business is all a farce I sell more
goods and better quality in Kansas towns than
do in Missouri and my patrons are better pay.
''They need not tell me that the people of a
town have to guzzle beer in order to have pros
porous business When the people of town
spend their money for beer, they don't have so
much to spend in my line. I don't mind glass
of beer occasionally, but prefer to sell goods to
a man who doesn't use it.''-Kansas City Star.

The Saloon VS.. Pure Politics.

In the course of speech delivered in Chi
cago recently, the venerable and gifted Rev. DR..
Edward Everett said: 1--WE have tried to purify
politics in Boston, and we have been beaten out
of our boots every time. Civil service? What
good does it do to have civil service examina-
tion for The elevator boy in the capitol when the
aldermen are dozen liquor dealers, who know
nothing about politics or government, but are

The Flag Dish0n0red.

1 oppose the saloon because am a lover of
my country. I we'll remember back in the early
'6Os, when men we're leaving their homes and
going out to risk their lives for the preservation
of the honor of the old flag, though too young
to enlist, how my heart beat in unison with the
great shout of patriotism that was going up and
how longed to be ''at the 'front.' and do some
thing for the defense of my country. And how
many times since have I felt my cheek turn
crimson with shame as [ have realized that that
flag, the symbol of liberty for the oppressed of
the earth, that flag in whose defense thousands
of Americas bravest and best laid down their
lives, was floating over and sheltering under it's
protecting folds the awful curse of the legalized
liquor traffic.-R J. Hazlett.

THE LICENSED SALOON.
Licensed for What?

Licensed for What?
Licensed to make the strong man weak,
Licensed to lay the wise man low,
Licensed wife's fond heart to break
And make her children's tears to flow.
Licensed to do neighbor harm,
Licensed to kindle hate and strife,
Licensed to nerve the robbers arm,
Licensed to whet the murderer's knife.
Licensed thy neighbor's purse to drain,
And rob him of the very last;
Licensed to heat his feverish brain,
Till madness crown thy work at last.
Licensed where peace and quiet dwell
To bring disease and want and woe;
Licensed to make this world hell,
And fit man for hell belowl

The saloon is either good or bad. If it is

PATRONIZiNG THE BARROOMSl

This is from the eloquent Col. Geo. W. Balm:
If the workingmen should suddenly say:
"The money which we have hitherto spent for
intoxicating liquors shall henceforth be expended
for useful articles, " and if, for single week,
they should turn it loose upon cotton goods,
how much money do you suppose would be
directed into the cotton trade in one week? Not
less than $4,000 600. If this we're done, all the
wholesale dealers and the retail dealers would
cry out: "Send more cotton goods down here,
there is a boom in the cotton trade. And if
the workingmen should suddenly take it into
their heads to take the earnings that they
hitherto have used for Intoxicating liquors, and
spend them for furniture, how much do you sup
pose would be let loose upon the furniture mar
ket? Not less than Sc, 900 in four weeks.
There would then be no stagnation of trade in
the furniture market.
Close every saloon in New York, back door
and front, for one week, and station policeman
at each door-and then some one to watch the
poceman-and when the sun goes down on the
next Saturday evening there will not be a beef
steak left in a butcher shop! It is wonder
that the business of the community do not
rise and drive this pirate off the sea of com

 Th5 knife was in Hardy's hands, The two men had renewed the fight and Colo mel Jones, picking up a coaccanut from a stand near by, struck Hardy a terrible blow on the head, cracking lhe, cocoanut, tha milk blinding the man.
 In dazsd cond ia,on Hardy came to- ward his assailant and being blinded by the cocoanut milk took Deputy Davis for Colonel Jones and cut him twice be- fore he was torn away. This morning Hardy expresses great regrat at the mis- take.
 Deputy Davis Is not seriously cut, but he had anarrow escape. The knife pens- trated about two inchss.
