In President Mckinley, the people have man of high character, unsul- lied reputation, unswerving patriotism, and stronger candidate then he was in 1896, because his remarkab ble experi- ence has strengthened and broadened him and better equipped him for exec utive duties. In Governor Roosevelt. the people have representative of the stalwart Americanism of the day, and man as closely identified with the policy of expansion as is the President himself. They make strong team.

In view of Mir. Bryan's remark that the Democratic party would be willing t. take the votes of all lhe people who have not had their share of prosperity, and leave the Republicans the votes of the people who have been prosperous, people here are wondering if he will vote for Mckinley for President, this year. In 1896 the assessed valuation Ot Of Mr. Bryan's property was only $27O: this yeir it was $i550, showing that general prosperity has visited Colonel Bryan. As he is one of the prosperous ones, he should certainly vote for Mr. Mckinley.

A Puzzle by Wire.

On the day following the election
Bishop McCabe, of the M. e. church,
wired President Mckinley as fol-
lows:
Evanston, ILL.,, Nov IL congrat-
ulate my country upon your re-elec-
ton. Every good cause that has it's
growth in the Ten Commandments
and the Sermon on the Mount will be
helped and furthered thereby.
CHARLES G. McCABE.
It will be news to most people that
the saloons of Washington, over
which the President has practically
absolute control, the army canteens
which plainly worded law makes it
his duty to suppress and the number
less brothels of Manila which are le-
galized by his immediate representa-
tives and most of which float the
stars and stripes 'have their growth
in the Ten Commandments and the
Sermon on the Mount" But, then,
the vulgar public, pressed with the
cares of secular life, cannot be ex-
pected to be as familiar with the
Scriptures as is great bishop.

New Political Alignment.

The New York Herald says that,
because of differences in their own
ranks as to party policy, neither the
Republican party nor the Democratic
party can permanently endure" and
expresses it's belief that before an
other Presidential election we shall
have new parties, adjusted on the line
OF new issues" There is no moral
or economic issue of equal impor-
lance with the prohibition question.
We rarely meet with person who
will dispute this proposition. This
issue should be the line of cleavage
in the new alignment of the political
forces Of the country. A million
votes for Woolley and Metcalf this
year would have speedily brought
this about. Now that the campaign
is over, the thing for every enemy of
the saloon to do is to declare before
his own conscience and his neighbors
that henceforth no party can have his
vote unless it be committed to the ex-
termination of the unspeakably damn
able saloon. If million voters will
make this declaration before this
year and century close, this nation
will by spring be in the throes of the
hottest anti-saloon campaign which
has ever been witnessed. There is
widespread sentiment against the sa-
loon, but it is as yet largely ineffec-
tive because those who hold it do not
respect either the Importance of the
issue or their own strength suffi-
GENTLY to bring on the issue with
their ballots. When they decide to
do so, the battle will have been half
won.

A Cry From the Submerged.

Thanksgiving Day is here. 1t
brings great joy to many, but let it
not be forgotten that a multitude of
helpless women feel that the bitter
cup which they are compelled to drink
should inspire curses rather than
praise. Do these people who are
cursed by the drink habit and traffic
think? Indeed they do, and they
sometimes do some very logical think
ing. If woman's heart is crushed by
the drink which has entered her home,
is she likely to heap all the Walls of
her wrath upon the head of her fallen
husband? Can she ,.veid asking her
self again and again Why is the saloon
allowed to run? What are these intel
ligent, well-dressed, churchly men
thinking about? Do they not know
that these saloons which they license
have robbed me of my husband, that
they have given me rags for clothing
and tears for my portion? Do they
in their strength owe no obligation to
me in my weakness? Are they treat
ing me and my children as would
Jesus, whom many Of them profess
to love and serve? In the company
of their families they are joyfully eat
ling turkey and dozen goodies, while
am glad to celebrate this day with
a little slice Of liver and loaf Of
stale bread.
Do you not know that tens of thous-
ands Of such women looked anxiously
toward election day, and wereinnocent
enough to hope that the good men Of
thei nation would come to their relief,
and that they are now learning what q
little handful heard the cry Of their
distress? Can. you blame them II the
coming Of Thanksgiving Day does not
cause their hearts to swell with praise

He Will Take Us Votes

We are glad that since Woolley
was defeated Mckinney was reflect
ed. We remember how President
Cleveland's sins were charged up to
the Prohibitionists. Had Bryan been
chosen, every Prohibition protest
against the liquor policy which he
would have been certain to pursue
would have been met with, "You
have only yourselves to blame. We
hope you are happy" But the Re-
publicans have everything their own
way. It is hardly supposable that
the President will repudiate his po-
litical debts to the saloon. AS the
process of liquidation goes on neither
Prohibitionists nor the people gener-
ally will be entirely asleep. Mr.. Nc
Kinley has made us nice lot of
good Prohibition votes in the last
three and half years. In our opin-
ion, four and half years more Of a
liquor administration, for which a
prominent member of leading Chris
tian denomination is responsible, will
open the eyes of large numbers of
other Christian citizens to the fact
that the one thing necessary to the
death of the saloon is not the cleo
ton of a given number of good
men" or church members, but the
election of one good party. Such a
party can easily discover both good
and able men and can put them to
the front to represent its policy and
to do the nations will.

try to vote for Mckinley. He re-
fused to do so and declared his in
tention to vote for WooIley. He also
said, "The Republican party as or
ganized in 1856, has ceased to ex-
ist." We do not quote his utterance
as news.
In view of the disclosures of the
election returns, we ask, What did
the church mean when it declared
that the liquor traffic "can never be
legalized without sin?" Is it replied
that the church stands strongly for
the principle, but is divided as to the
method of its realization? Listen to
these words, the declaration of the
Methodist and Presbyterian church
es through their highest representa-
tive bodies: mo political party has
a right to expect nor ought it to-
ceive the votes of Christian men so
long as it stands committed to the
license policy or refuses to put itself
in an attitude of open antagonism to
the saloon" How many parties in
the last campaign were in an atti-
tude of open antagonism to the sa-
loon?" Again we ask, What did the
church mean?"

RIGHT OR POWERo

1t apparently seems SO absurd to the
McKinleyites for any American to urge
that this Government should do right
or a contemptuous taunt is about the
only reply likely to be made 10 the plea
tn this effect coming from Mr.. Samuel
A~lschuler. the Democratic candidate for
Governor Of Illinois.
1t is this masterful spirit of disregard
of the right which now leads the Re
publican imperialists to scoff in private
mt the lofty principles enunciated In
the American Declaration of IndepeDd-
ence. Such a declaration. they arguc
was expedient in the situation in which
the Patriot Fathers found themselves.

politics. But shall We allow it now to
excuse our dependent colonies that rebel
| against us, or to prevent us from ruling
weaker and alien peoples as subject peO-
pies? Not on your life-the shoe is on j
different foot now.
Nevertheless, there are many thou
sand Americans who believe that right
is right and wrong is wrong in all times
and under all conditions, and that what
was wrong for England in 1916 is wrong
for the United States in 1900. They hold
that the truths of liberty announced in
the Declaration of Independence are i'm
mortal truths. They claim that We are
bound to maintain and uphold those
