The Presidential Campaign Of 1900

Ine fTeBiucntthl OAmpa8Su Vi 1%UVs
The wars of America have, here
tofore, settled affairs of state.
Great questions of policy, of ma
tional moves and national conclu-
sions have been answered as soon
as the battle smoke cleared away,
and the victor realized by his vic
tory. The war with Spain is un-
like its predecessors. 1t has not
answered questions, but has crea-
ted problems which may not be
solved lightly. The result of the
campaign of 1900 will make a
broad mark upon the page of his
tory; it will doubtless establish the
policy of the great Republic of
America for a quarter of a century.
1t is vastly important, therefore,
that every citizen shall study the
situation through that best OF me-
diums, a great newspaper. The
most reliable newspaper, the best
newspaper, is The 6emi-W Weekly
Republic, which affords compre-
hensive view of the political situa,
tion in all its bearings. 1t pub
fishes the new news. The Semi
Weekly Republic is democratic
paper, but it offers to its readers
the news regarding all the politi.
cal parties, and this without pre-
judice.
The subscription price Of the
Semi Weekly Republic is s1.00I
per year. The Republic Sunday
Magazine s1.25 per year. Both
papers are now being offered at the
very low price of $50 for one
year. To secure this low rate
both must be ordered and paid for
at the same time.

usually pock-marked, though it is

The victim of alcohol has death

heart, tissues, nervous system,

of man which we call the soul
and which is considered of more

not this evil sufficiently great to

SMALLPOX AND WHISKEY
Which of Them is the Great
est Curse to Man?

eSI CuTS6 10 lWdIl!
Fifty thousand dollars to ami
hilate smallpox; and yet since the
smallpox broke out there has been
as many or more deaths resulting
from one other cause as from small
pox.
In Christmas week alone do you
know how many deaths and acci-
dents resulted from whiskey?
And do you know how much it will
cost the country to try all the muir
der cases, disturbance of the peace
cases, ETC., etc? There will be
marshal's fees, and lawyers fees,
and railroad fares, and jailors and
guards wages, and the expenses Of
prisoners in jails and penitentia-
ries, etc. Then there is the bodi-
ly and mental suffering that cannot
be estimated. How many times
have the doctors been called to at
tend cases where the patient has
been the victim of alcohol some
way or another2 AS often as to
attend smallpox patients do you
think2 And yet it has been deem
ed wise to appropriate $4,000 to
blot out smallpox, while whiskey
has been brought in by bootleg
gers, and by private individuals
through the express office and lit
tie effort has been made to even
quarantine the evil. We have
places tits true where these viola
tors of law, and destroyers of pub
lie welfare might, may, can and
should be quarantned, but we call
them by another name than pest
house. But the most unaccount-
able thing is that some citizens,
nominal christians, too, who con-
Trajectory as it may appear, pro-
fess some interest in the welfare of
the people and the country, advo-
cate the license of the liquor traffic.
"The money would be such help
to The country" they say.
1t may be, however, that this
country win be denied this finan-
cial help. but here comes the small
pox, regular blessing in disguise;-
$50, 600 is to be used to stamp it
out. This money, in time, will be
circulated through the territory
and our people will be enriched
thereby. The vaccination fees
will amount TO good deal, and the
doctors can use the money to help |
build fine homes for the people to
look at and admire. This alone
will have a refining influence upon
the people. OF course some color
ed people may suffer and die, just
as drunkards' children and drunk
ards themselves have TO die. But
what does that amount to as long
as the people have more money in
circulation.
Now really, isn't this very self
ish and unchristian2 II licensed

bail with pleasure the smallpox,
which brings US $4,000. But if
