The Saloon in the Way,

DR.. J. G. Evans, prominent Meth
odist minister, speaking of the Goth
century movement of his church to
raise $20,0OO,000 and secure the con-
version of million souls by the close
of 1901, says:
with the saloon out of the way it
would be far easier to raise $30,000,-
600 and win two million souls than to
raise $20,000,000 and win a million
souls to Christ, with 100000 saloons in
full blast in their work of pauperizing
men and damning souls, and especially
when this awful crime is perpetuated
through the suffrage of Christian vo-
tiers whose prayers are solicited for
the conversion of souls"

Farmers Arithmetic.

A farmer sells a bushel of corn to
a distiller for 40 cents. The distiller
makes of this four gallons of whisky.
The whisky is sold at saloon-if by
the pint, for $12-if by the drink, for
$25 to $50. We will suppose it all to
be sold by the pint. Out of the $12
paid for the whisky the farmer re-
ceives but 40 cents, the price of one
bushel of corn. If the saloon was
closed the money now paid for whisky
would be paid largely for the products
of the farm-fruits, grains, vegetables
and meats If paid for any of these,
the farmer would get out of $12 from
!: S. to SO instead of 40 cents-the
amount received by him of the s12
paid for whisky. Who can figure the
loss and damage to the farmer caused
by the 100000 saloons of Canada, and
the United States? The saloon must
go!

The New York papers, in speaking
of Vice President Hobart's illness, say
he is victim of Washington dinners.
OF course they do not say that wines
and liquors are deadly feature of
these spreads. During the campaign
of 1896 the newspapers announced that
the Vice President had the best stock
ed wine cellar in Paterson, and it is
pretty certain that he did not have it
to look at.
Both Sides, the saloonkeepers' or
gan, notes the fact that ten members
of the Prohibition state executive COM
mittee started the $4,000 campaign
fund by themselves pledging more
than $1,000 of the amount, and adds:
'This is significant, and should be
taken into consideration by saloon
men. If the enemy this early is pre-
pairing, is it not the duty of the liquor
men to pay more attention to organiz-
alton, so that they may not be taken
unawares in the next legislature?'
