A Catechism on Prohibition.

Why do not the Prohibitionists give
their support to one of the other par
ties?
A few of the reasons are that Nc
Kinley protects the canteen in viola
ton of law, Roosevelt favors the Sun
day saloon, Bryan is on record against
prohibition, Stevenson is an anti-Pro-
hibitionist and every legal saloon in
the land received it's authority to do
business from one of these parties.
What is the charge against Presi-
dent Mckinley regarding the canteen
First. That while having absolute
control of Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines as commander-in-chief of
the army and navy, he denied the
multitude of petitions sent to him to
abolish the canteen.
Second. That when, later, the anti
law was enacted, he utterly failed to
enforce it, allowing the notorious
"opinion" of Secretary of War Griggs
to stand" although he is in no way
bound to abide his decision
What is the aim of the Prohibition
party?
To enact state and national laws and
secure the adoption of amendments to
the state and national constitutions
which shall prohibit the importation,
manufacture, transportation and sale
of intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes; to interpret those laws in
harmony with their intention and to
enforce them.
What do you hope to accomplish
this year?
To elect the issue. To secure so
large vote as to compel the recog-
milton of Prohibition as the paramount
issue and to bring about realignment
of the political forces of the country.
Backbone. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. ;) 1897-1906, 1900-10-01
Elect the Issue.

The writer remembers, when a boy,
hearing his father, who was radical
enemy of the saloon, appealed to to
vote the "Anti-Dramshop" ticket, as it
was called in New York state The
reply was Zone thing at a time; let
us put down the rebellion and free
the slave and then we will take up
this question" So Republican leaders
promised and so Republican Prohi-
bitionists" generally believed. The
war closed and when the foes of the
saloon appealed to the Republican
party to array itself against the sa-
loon, the answer was, 1--WE must first
reconstruct the South" Later came
Backbone. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. ;) 1897-1906, 1900-10-01

tariff and free trade, gold and silver,
and now hobs up Imperialism and anti
imperialism. Let those who will be-
lieve, as we do not, that these ques-
tons press themselves to the front
by their Importance, but at least let
no enemy of the saloon believe what
is sometimes urged, that when this is
sue-and then that-and tomorrow it
will be the other-is settled, the way
will be clear for the settlement of the
gigantic issue. When the sun rises in
the West, or when politicians can no
longer be persuaded to take office,
then will the license parties take I'D
the liquor issue. Let it be understood
that party leaders are continually on
the outlook for an issue on which they
can best unite their own forces, a
platform that they can best "get it
on" Of late men have broken with
their former political affiliations quite
freely and the politicians have a good
deal to worry about. But there is no
question which so divides all the par
ties save the Prohibition party, like the
saloon issue. While this is the case
it would be political suicide for politi-
cal leaders to commit their parties to
any position upon 1t. And they are
not in the suicide business If the
enemies of the saloon want this uues-
ton considered, they will have to say
so with their ballots. They will have
to so cast them as to elect the ISSUE
When that is done, when million or
so men are in one political party COM
mitted to the death of the saloon, less
er issues will receive little considera-
ton until the saloon has died the
death.

that aWfully wicked man, DR.. A. A.
Ames. Today DR.. Ames is the candi-
date of the Republican party for
Mayor. His conversion to Republican
principles was very sudden In fact,
the motive of his conversion is patent
to ALL Neither is it claimed that he
is any other than the same old wide
openness But he is Republican,
and such men as David G. Bell, per-
haps the most prominent Congrega-
tional layman in the state, and J. r.
Wyman, who possible enjoys the same
honor in the Methodist church, are
openly supporting him. What is the
moral of all this? That party preju-
dice is very strong. That one who has
the name of being very clean man
will sometimes do a very dirty thing
in politics. That as the years go by
the consistency of the position of the
Prohibition party becomes more and
more apparent. That the present
party alignment which throws friends
and enemies of the saloon into the
same party and so makes impossible
any courageous action on any moral
issue is all wrong.
Backbone. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. ;) 1897-1906, 1900-10-01
A Bright Outlook,

At no election, save that of four
years ago, has the Prohibition party
failed to receive larger vote than
at any previous election. In 1896 the
old party spell-binders and editors sue
ceeded in convincing number of the
elect that the country was on the
verge OF destruction from which it
could not by any possibility be rescued
unless this or that financial policy
should be approved. More than a
hundred thousand members of the
Prohibition party were persuaded to
attempt to ''settle" the money ques-
ton by voting for either Mckinley or
Bryan.
They probably divided their votes
about equally between those candi-
dates. Most of these men have since
recognized their error and are back
in the ranks. New men in large num-
bers have in the meantime come to
us and everything indicates that the
brave persistent party will again pass
it's highest mark. It's noble history
affords many points of comparison
with the anti-slavery parties, which
began with fewer than 10000 votes,
lost over hundred thousand votes in
a single campaign, but quickly rallied
and went forward until after several
new alignments and changes of name,
it placed it's leader in the White House
and struck the chains from the limbs
Of millions of slaves.

TIT FOR TAT.

Can it be possible that the temper
ance question is really an issue?-
Wine and Spirit News
The Christian voters of the land
have it in their power to answer this
question with great big YES on No
vember 6.
I would not trade the life of one
American boy for all the trade of the
Orient.-Wm. J. Bryan.
If the lives of American boys are so
dear to your heart, why don't you
attack President McKinley's boy-de-
stroying canteen, and tell whether you
will enforce the anti-canteen law, if
elected? You have attacked every
other vulnerable point in the admins
tration.
Any considerable increase in the
Prohibition vote this year may cost
President Mckinley his election.-Re-
view of Reviews.
And the failure of the Prohibition
vote to increase means continued
slavery to hundreds of thousands of
men and added years of agony and
shame to the millions of their wives
and children.
The canteen question is not bother
ing Mr.. Mckinley. The good brethren
who are beating their tomtoms in the
Presidents ears will vote right when
election day comes, and MIR. Mckinley
knows dorchester Herald.
The above and numerous comments
Of the same character are commended
to the consideration of the brethren
who are asking How can the church
increase her infiuence?"

1t is yet possible to send the saloon
reellng and staggering into the next
century.
Either the church or the saloon will
win on Nov 9Th. Stranger things have
happened than that the church should
vote it's own defeat.
A resolution against the saloon is all
expression of conviction as to the
magnitude and urgency of the saloon
issue. A Prohibition ballot is a sa-
loon hating American citizens demand
for what he wants and insists upon
having.
The saloon is as illegitimate as hell,
but as legal as the stars and stripes.
Shall the unholy alliance between this
Christian republic and the damnable
saloon continue? Your vote will help
to answer the question, as truly as
though it should either read Partner
ship-Yes," or "Partnership-No.'
Look out for campaign lies during
the first week of November. Don't be
surprised to hear that Woolley has
withdrawn or that the Prohibition
leaders are off on a drunk or that
national chairman Stewart has been
arrested for robbing clothes lines
along the route of the Prohibition
Special Train.
If any are laboring under the de-
fusion that the Prohibition party is en-
Backbone. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. ;) 1897-1906, 1900-10-01

deavoring to divert votes from Nc
Kinley to Bryan, he should read the
Prohibition party papers. The Prohi-
bition party favors the election of no
man for any Office who is either on
record for the saloon or who has no
record against it.
A New York daily reports an inter
view with Senator Elkins. To the
inquiry, "How about the canteen
question:" the senator is reported as
replying: "That will peter out 1t is
not an issue. It cannot endure" That
is the estimate which practical poll
ticans put on the power and purpose
of the church in politics.
McKinley's liquor policy at home
and abroad is bringing to his support
large numbers of distillers and brew
ers as we'll as saloonists of smaller CAL
ibre. Shall Christian citizens be any
slower to forsake his standards on the
same account? Is it still true that
''the children of this world are wiser
than the children of Light"
If you consider imperialism and
anti-imperialism, gold and silver to be
the supreme issues, vote with the
party which represents your views on
those questions. But if you consider
the overthrow of the saloon the re-
form most important to the material
and moral welfare Of the nation, say
so with your ballot Don't throw it
away on an issue of lesser magnitude.
Don't vote for what you don't want.

1t doesn't seem so very long ago
that the Republican press of Mime
apolis and of the entire state heaped
its bitterest maledictions upon DR..
Satterlee and his fellow Prohibition
lists of the Flour City because they
would not give their support to any
man the Republicans might choose to
