RELIGIOUS TALK FROM RELIGIOUS PAPERS.

The Republican press has given it
out that the religious press is "solid''
and practically unanimous" for Nc
Kinley. In disproof of these state
ments, we quote briefly from a
considerable number of religious pa
pers which are not only not support
ing the administration, but are out for
Woolley:
So far as these parties are concerned
in their campaign the liquor power in
the United States has nothing to fear
and those who regard its overthrow
as of vital Importance have nothing to
hope. 1t is not wonderful that thou
sands are inclined to give their sup
port to a party which makes the pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic not only
it's paramount" issue, but it's one is
sue. True, this party is not likely to
carry the election, put a large vote for
it's candidates will demonstrate the
strength of the prohibition sentiment
and compel attention to it. If half
a million votes are SO cast, the ques-
ton will not be contemptuously ignor-
ed four years hence by either of the
great parties. With no other
vital issue really at stake there never
was better time, and there is not
likely soon to be better time, to
stand up and be counted upon this
great question of prohibition.-Chica-

What issue is there before the Amer
lean people to-day that involves to so
great degree the moral life of the
people and Of the nation as the ques-
ton of the liquor traffic? We believe
there is none, and in so saying we
do not underestimate the Importance
of the questions of public policy which
are now before the country. But, be-
ieving as we do in the supremacy of
moral issues, we shall endeavor to

Canteen Lies Refuted,

Here are some of the things that
Rev. D. J. Burrell, D. D., formerly of
Minneapolis, said in the Christian In
teligencer:
'"The point that the canteen serves a
benefcent purpose in furnishing light
drinks to soldiers under restrictions,
thus preventing their patronage of sa-
looms outside the camp, is not well taken.
On the one hand it is denied; on the other,
if true, it would not justify the canteen.
There are parents who argue, in like man
ner, that by furnishing liquors to their
sons at homes, they prevent their drink
ing elsewhere. The sophism is plain, and
experience emphasizes it."
'Its friends assert that it dispenses only
''beer and light wineS.' l know the con-
trary from personal observation. Just
now the canteen is on good behavior, for
obvious reasons; but 1 have seen the gov
ernment bar surrounded by uniformed pa
trons,. drinking whisky, in all stages of
intOXicatiOn.''
'"The best men in the United States
army are opposed to the canteen. The
statement that 'ninety-five per cent of
the officers express themselves in favor
of it's retention is pure bluff. General
Miles, our foremost soldier. and a for
midable list Of his most illustrious as
sociates, are outspoken against it. The
secretary of war has mustered the full
strength of his department to defend it. ."

"CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION.
Some of Its Work in the Philippines.

The New Voice, which sent an able
representative to the Philippines to
get the facts, has for weeks past
made most serious charges against
the policy of the administration
there, and to this hour not Republi-
can periodical has challenged the
truth of the statements. 1t asserts,
among other things:
1. That the military government Of
Manila, while it has not closed the native
'vino shacks,'' but, on the contrary, has
licensed them by hundreds, has also
licensed almost 400 American places in
Manila where there were but three repre-
sentatives Of the American barroom sys-
tenn when "Christian civilization arrived
there.
2. That the officials who represent Mr..
Mckinley in the Philippine Islands have
compounded with the Chinese opium
infamy under circumstances that warrant
the belief that many of these officials are
the recipients of bribes.
8. That officers of the United States
army, acting under the immediate control
of the Commander-in-C Chief, have insti-
tuted and are carrying on in Manila sys-
tenn of supervision and inspection of the
vice of prostitution, that amounts to a
license of that vice, while resorts estab-
lshed for the practice Of that vice are
regularly licensed by American officials to
sell liquor.
4. That in certain parts of the Philip
pine archipelago the soficers commanding
our troops have established houses of
prostitution on canteen plans.
5. That the result of these things, as
shown by the daily papers of Manila, is
one continued orgy of drunkenness, lust
and crime.
6. That the official records of the army
in the Philippines show that, under the
influence Of the saloon, the canteen, and
the brothel, established and sanctioned by
the military representatives there has been
an appalling criminality among our
troops, that during the first ten and one
half months of American occupation of
the Philippine Islands resulted in the
trial by military courts of more than one
third of the men in our army.

Isn't Saying "Can't."

Rev. S. F. Pearson, just elected
sheriff of Cumberland (Portland)
county, Maine, on the Prohibition
ticket over the Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates, means business. An
nouncing his policy, he says:
"My deputies will be instructed, when
they raid liquor saloon, to take every
thing there is between the floor and the
roof, to clean out the place and to remove
all the fixtures. They will be instructed
to do this as quietly as possible, but to
allow no resistance. If there is to be lead
used, they will see to it that they fire
first.
The liquor traffic must and shall cease
in this county. If the saloons are open
the first day of January next it will be at
the peril of the owners. They will not
be allowed to stay open
The saloon men must remember that
they must not harm a deputy sheriff;
THAT when they strike a sheriff, they
strike the State of Maine. The liquor
business will end here. no matter at what
cost.
"If my deputies get into hard place
and are resisted, I shall take part in the
fight myself
Backbone. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. ;) 1897-1906, 1900-10-01

This is the way Bishop FitzGerald,
of the M. E. Church, puts the issue:
Facing the saloon, the Christian
man should remember that the naked
forms he seeks to cover, the hungry
bodies he seeks to feed, the fearful
eye he seeks to dry, the aching hearts
he seeks to soothe, and the bereft pa
rents and wives and children he seeks
to comfort, were nearly all brought
to their sorrowful and forlorn condi-
ton by the saloon, which accomplishes
it's ravaging because so many Chris
tian men vote the ticket of a party

In that OF Dec. 6, 1897, said:

In my message of Dec. 5, 1890, said:
"Our national development will be one-sided

able growth Of our inland Industries remains
unaccompanied by progress on the seas.
There is no lack Of constitutional authority

THE past year has recorded exceptional
activity in our shipyards, and the promises
of continual prosperity in shipbullding are

"A subject of immediate importance to
our country is the completion Of a great
waterway of commerce between the Atlantic
and Pacific. The construction of mari
time canal Is now mere than ever indispen-
sable to that intimate and ready communi-
cation between our eastern and western sea-
ports demanded by the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands and the expansion Of our
influence and trade in the Pacific.
Our national policy more. imperatively
than ever calls for its completion and con-
troll by this government. and it is believ ed
that the next session of Congress, after re-
ceiving the full report of the commission ap-
pointed under the act approved March 3,
1899, will make provisions for the sure ac-
compllshment of this great work.
Would Restrict Trusts.
Combinations of capital which control the
market in commodities necessary to the gen
eral use of the people by suppressng nat
ural and ordinary competition, thus en-
HANGING prices to the general consumer, are
obnoxious to the common law and the pubic
welfare. They are dangerous conspiracies
against the public good, and should be made
the subject of prohibitory or penal legisla-
ton.
Publicity will be a. helpful influence to
check this evil. Uniformity of legislation In
the different States should be secured Dis
elimination between what is Injurious and
what is useful and necessary in business
operations is essential to the wise and effect
I've treatment OF this subject.
Honest cooperation of capital Is necessary
to meet new business conditions and extend
our rapidly increasing foreign trade. but
conspiraces and combinations intended to
restrict business, create monopolies and con-
troll prices should be effectively restrained.
Best Friends of Labor.
The best service which can be rendered to
labor is to afford It an opportunity for
lssteady and remunerative employment and
give it every encouragement for advance
ment. The policy that subserves this end is
the true American policy. The past three
years have been more satisfactory to Ameri-
