mortality

The political visionary dies hard; in
fact, he never dies. and he has just
had one of his worst outbreaks in Chi
cago. This time it is of the harmless
sort, which is not always the case. A
national temperance party was organ
lied in the Windy City. last week,
pledged to secure 1000, 900 votes for the
Prohibition party in 1900, and to raise
81 900, 900 for campaign purposes. OF
course, neither the million votes nor
the million dollars viii be raised, but
the movement shows again the vision
ary's diversion of energy which might
be of substantial service to the coun-
try. In national elections the Prohibi-
ton ticket has been in the "also ran
class. and it has never had much bet
ter success in state politics. In 1896
there were only half as many Prohibi-
ton votes cast as in 1892, and the re-
duction is likely to continue, next year.
Level headed temperance workers
know that the best work for this great
cause can be done in the ranks of an
old and large party, and not by trying
to do the impossible.
