Judging men and things that belong to a

ably gifted with artistic tastes and nice
penetration. With his skeptioal and Gallo

language like his father, King Louis Phi

replaced in France. BY his death whole
epoch disappears-I was on the point OF

Anti-LiquOr Resolution.

The Committee on Temperance
offered the following resolution
which was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That we, as body, are
unalterably opposed to the open saloon
and the liquor traffic; and especially to
selling license and legalizing the sale OF
intoxicating drinks, and regard the
same as crime against God and hui
manity.
Q. That we pledge ourselves to aid In
any genuine reform movement looking
to the placing Of good men in office, es-
pecially in the State Legislature, who
are against the great evil, and who will
support all genuine temperance move
ments in that body.
! g. That, while we do not presume to
dictate to our voting members their po
| litical affiliations, we do express the
opinion that no genuine Methodist
should be controlled by any political
clique or party organization that Is
managed in the interest OF the saloon
business, and we do affirm that the only
proper attitude Of every true Methodist
toward this traffic is one of uncomprom-
ising opposition and a never-endinp
warfare until the whole thing is liter
ally wiped flom the face of the earth.
We therefore, pledge ourselves to vote
for no candidate for the Legislature
who is in favor of licensing the liquor
traffic.

"No. Josh has never had any training.

never shown a disposition to attack or In

that he will not make friends with other

to like Josh, although once In awhile
