PrOhlDltlOn to the Front.
Many thoughtful workers in ranks believe that
the time has come to concentrate efforts more
largely upon the prohibition reform. Pauls decara-
ton, "This one thing d." which explains to- so
great degree his remarkable and the spirit
of which has inspired nearly every great achieve
ment, must become the motto of Prohibitionists
The Importance of our warrants-indeed de-
mands-such determination. The saloon enslaves
men, body and soul, and damns women and children
to lives of sorrow and shame. 1t robs the people of
health, happiness, home and heaven. 1t is the
toms giant foe. Its overthrow is the paramount
duty of today, and that overthrow means-in the
broadcast sense of the word prosperity
Despite all this, reform is espoused by only a
handful comparatively, even of those who are inter
ested in the well-being of humanity Large numbers
who recognize and deplore the evil will do little
nothing to put it away. This makes it the more i'm
perative that those whose have been opened to
the enormty of this wrong and whose hearts have
been stirred to the of the nation and it's sub
jects from the saloon curse should devote their ef
forts chiefly to this Unless this is done, the
reform cannot under present conditions make ma
terial progress.
Minnesota has 300 600 voters and million and
half people We propose to turn this great common
ance, appetite prejudice and greed for Office and for
gain which back of the saloon, and overpower
them We annually elect State Central Committee
to send out speakers, hold conventions publish and
distribute literature and in every practicable way ag
tate the issue and organize forces for victory
When this committee has adequate for it's
work. every part of the state feels the impulse of it's
activity. Yet the total funds annually placed at it's
disposal is less than is required to run a we'll
equipped city mission!
A prominent Twin City worker recently said, 1--WE
have often charged with inconsistency those who,
while admitting that prohibition is the most i'm
portant issue before the people, yet continue to sup
port license parties We ourselves equally incon
sstent for have been giving $500 to the cause
which we profess believe is the greatest of ALL and
$25 and $50 to church"
Prohibitionsts class deeply interested in
every helpful movement. Most of them Christian
men. They constitute, to a great extent the back
bone of the church. For years those of them who
have been active workers in our cause who have
regularly contributed toward it's support have borne
double burden. Our leaders have hesitated and
usually refraned from encouraging them to do less
for other in order that they might do for
the one which lies nearest their hearts We have
hoped for great increase in the number Of Christian
men willing to take up this work. While there has
been progress in this direction it has not been such
i as to meet the demand. The time has now come fol-
i an advance movement.
