Into the streets of Indianapolis,
and every other town and city OF
the state, let the warfare against
rum rule be carried. 1t is good
plan. Keep up regular fusilade
on the street corners, and compel
the passers by to hear the gospel
truth.
The conspiracy of silence, and
absence from all meetings wherein
the vital issues Of the day are dis
cussed, is more perfectly organized
than ever. There must not be any
thing said by the press or in the
pulpit that will reflect upon the law
that legalizes the saloon, OF even
against the liquor business. The
edict has gone forth from the great
Liquor and brewers association fol
silence in our churches and public
meetings, and in our law making
bodies, on all questions that will re,
fleet on or educate the public min
against the business. S.raightway
the press and pulpit give obedience
to the mandate.
All along the line silence reigns,
except from the fanatical editor and
prohibition preacher. Even the
Sunday school superintendent has
no use for a Prohibition teacher
and cannot use him publicly fol
Ifear he will say something in viola
ton of this edict. When the tenn
Iperance lesson comes around i
must be put in charge of some fos
silized license voter OF forty years
standing, so he can break an egg
and talk about coagulated brains OF
whine about the poor drunkard'
family. Everybody is trained t
shun all public meetings along thl'
lire, and the children in our day
and Sunday schools are taught Z
despise Prohibitionist and lool
upon him with the same mlstrus
that their parents were taught t
look upon a saloon keeper.
Stir up the parlor meetings: fir
away on the street corners; scat
tel our literature into the homes 0
the people. This is the most effect
i've way left to us to agitate and ed
ucate along our lines. If an ange
could come from heaven, and an
Inounce that he would speak il
some Of our cities, the priest, dea
cons and elders would conspire T
he absent for fear something woul'
be said against the license system
and thereby offend their politica
gods. Let Prohibitionists come to
qether, on street and in homes, an
hold up each others hands--for tn
battle is hard.-Phalanx.

Progressive teachers and students
of history will watch and study the
Spanish-American war with great
interest. There is probability
that this war will mark the begin
ming of new era in our national
growth. Our present policy of nom
Intervention is expressed by the
Monroe Doctrine. Shall we con-
cern ourselves with the eastern
question? Shall we seek to become
IA great naval power? Shall we
adopt some method of colonial gov
Iernment with reference to Cuba,
Porto Rico, and the Philippines
should they come into our posses
sion? These are questions which now
confront us. They are questions
| of grea! moment. They may be
the questions which will divide the
great political parties OF the near
future. The importance Of an event
lis measured by its effect upon ma
tional development. The battle OF
Manila may prove to be one OF the
greatest naval events OF all history.
Teachers should study these ques-
ltions and be ready to direct the
Thought Of our nation upon them.

"In the morning Mr. Logan wore
