ing to those party voters who affirm

Both Sides lets out a big truth when
it adds:
"The liquor business is our sole pol
itics."
When the enemies of the saloon will

Thou Art the Man.

A certain doctor of divinity urged,
upon the floor of the Methodist Gen
eral Conference, that it would be out
of place for that body to criticise Pres
ident Mckinley, and that idea has re-
ceived considerable encouragement in
certain circles. When John the Bap-
fist denounced Herod's sin, did he lack
appreciation of the dignity of the Of
fce'' of that sinner? Have not those
gentlemen time and again praised the
courage of Nathan in rebuking the sin
of the King of Israel? It's barely pos
sible that we are doctoring our divin-
ity too much in these days.

etc.; say liquor merchant or liquor
dealer" It gives two reasons for MAX
ing the change. The first is that the
derivation Of the word saloon is far
fetched. The second, that through the
fanatical agitation against the liquor
traffic the term associates itself in the
general mind with the word groggery,
which the older of us remember was in
pretty general use at one time, and
sounded as harsh as saloon does now"
Why does saloon" sound harsh? Be-
cause, as a little Minnesota girl told
her companion the other day as they
were passing one, "the devil lives
there" If it's character can be changed
by changing it's name, none will adopt
Both Sides suggestion more promptly
and cheerfully than will those who are
praying, working and giving for the
overthrow Of the institution because
they believe it to be inherently diaboli-
cal.

PITH OF THE PRESS.

Defender: If the liquor traffic can never
be legalized without sin, it cannot be per-
petuated without sinners.
Nebraska Patriot: Vote for the largestu
Larty you can find that is Internationally
committed to the prohibition of the liquor
traffic.
Christian Endeavor World: If "expan-s
sion'' is to mean expansion of the whisky
ring and a widening Of drunkards' grave
yards, the sooner we lop off such expan-
sion the better.
N. Y. Observer: 1t is a shameful situa-
ton, the more so because the islands are
under the military authority which licenses
the liquor traffic there by mere order,
and can by a similar order suppress it.
Christian Standard: Leaving the more
abstruse sociological problems for a later
day and a more general education with
respect to them, the prohibition of the
liquor traffic is the great and crying politi-
cal reform which calls for settlement this
day at the bar Of Christian conscience and
by the vote of Christian men.

BRIEF AND BRAINY.

Is it fair thing to hit the heather

When the preachers speak the word, the
church will fall into line, and when the
church seriously attacks the liquor traffic
the battle will be won.--Samuel Dickie.
AS Christian nations united to end the
slave trade, so they should now combine
for the suppression of alcoholic liquors
among dependent people.-Ex-Presfdent
Harrison.
This is the hour Of destiny to the
church. If now the church is slow, falter-
ing, faithless, she loses her grip on the
conscience of this nation, and She will not
regain her hold.-Clara C. Hoffman.
I have long since ceased to pray that
politicians become good men. am pray
ing now that good men may become poll
ticians, not in selfish sense, but as those
who administer the public affairs wisely,
Justly, and with Gov.

If party. does not declare in its plat
form and by the men who have their
names on its ticket that 1t is unalterably
opposed to the saloon and proposes it's
destruction, 1t cannot have my vote.-Rev.

TIT FOR TAT.

The fact becomes more and more
conclusive that prohibition does not
prohibit. Both Sides Iiquor paper).
It's funny, though, how red in the
face our contemporary gets whenever
the word prohibition is mentioned. {
The Christian vote is now so divided =
that it is not a force to be reckonedv
with. If we want our prayers and our .
profession to count for civic righteous
ness we must make a channel through
which it can be expressed.-Rev. A. D. :
Harmon.
That channel is made. It is the Pro-
hibition party.

If the good men in the license parties
who have time and again declared
that if their party did thus-and-so or
failed to do thus-and-so on the liquor
question they would leave it would
carry out their threat, the Prohibition
party would move forward with gigan-
tic strides. But too many of them,
like Rip Van Wrinkle, find it hard to
reform their (politicaD ways, and like
him also, yield to temptation, saying:

What Is the Leagues Policy?

In our last issue we commented up
on an alleged interview of an Ohio
daily with Editor Jackson, of the
Anti Saloon Leagues national organ,
in which he was made to speak of Mr..
Woolley as reformed drunkard, and
to say that the League would not OPP
pose Mr.. Mckinley. DR.. Jackson now
claims that there was no such inter-
view and that the scraps of converse
ton upon which the alleged inter-
view was based were not correctly
represented. He also denies the
Leagues partiality for Mckinley. In
the same article we ridiculed the post
ponement Of the Leagues proposed
fight until after the presidential cleo
ton. A prominent representative Of
the League informs us that the reason
for the postponement is that the leg
islature which is to elect Senator
Forakers successor will be chosen next
year.
We desire to do justice to ALL We
are especially unwilling to misrepre-
sent any opponent of the saloon. But
we are perplexed. DR.. Jackson, in a
signed communication to the Cleve-
land, Ohio, Leader, denounces as
Democratic lies the statements cur
rent that the League would oppose
Mckinley and the Republican party,
the latter of which, he says, gave the
Leagues bill before the Ohio legisla-
ture 81 majority. We are Informed
that it is not the policy of the League
to oppose any party as such 1--WE wish
we had no reason to doubt the truth
of the statement) but to oppose those
men in all parties who truckle to the
saloon. This being the case, it is en-
tirely consistent with it's policy that
the League should delay it's attack up
on Senator Foraker until he again
'appeals to the people of Ohio for their
endorsement But why does not 10y
atty to this policy also compel the
League to oppose the reelection Of
Mr.. Mckinley? The Leagues journals
have foamed with rage over the re-
peal of prohibition in Alaska, the can
teen and the notification of the anti
canteen law. Neither have their at
tacks been impersonal. They have
held the President up before the peo-
pie as the person chiefly responsible
for the canteen. No Prohibition pa
per has been more outspoken upon this
point The Leagues national presi-
dent, being interviewed early in the
year as to the probable attitude of his
society toward Mckinley, stated that
the later events Of the year would pro-
badly determine it. What could the
President have done or left undone
which would make the Leagues duty
palmer?

NOT THAT KIND OF A CAKE
1t Looked Suggestive Of wedding
Dut Was Intended for . Diff
fcrent Purpose.

An East end car was loaded down with
shoppers, mostly women, for it was in the
middle Of the afternoon. Conversation was
proceeding at great rate 1t was like a
pink tea or session of the sewing circle.
But all at once hush fell over the fair chat
terers. A negro lad entered, bearing in his
arms an immense cake, three or four decks
high, and frosted over from pit to dome, as
they say of theater. There was profusion
of flowers by way of decoration, and delicate
traceries of gauzy lace completed the en-
bellishments. The cake was so large that
the negro could scarcely carry it.
The cake told the whole story of the we'd
ding, the bridesmaids, the orange flowers, the
flower girls and the banquet afterward.
Every feminine heart in that street car was
a-hutter as it's owner gazed speechlessly
upon the evidence of wedding to be-
Finally, when the car stopped to let on
another passenger and everything was very
still, one lady took courage to ask the negro
where the wedding was going to be.
''Whut weddin'" asked the negro, his eyes
protruding.
"'rhe wedding that cake is for"
"Dis amt no weddin' cake"
"No?"
Nom. Dis yeres err cake walk cake"
There was smile that reached from one
end of the car to the other, and very Soon
conversation was resumed as before -AIem-
