REACH THE PEOPLE.

We have this month entered several
hundred new names upon our sub
scription list. Many of these were Sc
cured through our big premium offers.
Our hearty thanks to our subscribers
who have brought these offers to the
attention of their friends and sent in
lists. Many addresses have been sent
us by those who have pledged various
sums towards the expense Of free cir
culation. They are entitled to send
us as many addresses as their pledge
will cover at our regular club rates,
which appear at the head Of the Sec
ond page. Fellow Prohibitionist:
Have you done anything for Backbone
in either of these directions? If our
paper is "good stuff for you, it is still
better for "the other fellow" How
can we get it into his hands except
through your effort or money?
Backbone. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. ;) 1897-1906, 1901-03-01

Yet in the same conversation, when
we solicited his subscription for
Backbone, he replied that he chad
more papers than he could read"
Doesn't it look as though he needed
one less of some kinds and one more
of the right kind?
A certain st. Paul doctor of divinity
recently denounced Mrs. Nations raid
from his pulpit as anarchical. This
clerical gentleman has lived in this
city for more than dozen years, and
as often as his choice for mayor has
been selected, so often has that official
proceeded to deliberately and fragrant
ly violate his oath of Office in the in
terest of the saloon. Who is the an
archist?
GLOW does prohibition work in the
states which have prohibitory law?"
That depends considerably upon
whether the Prohibition, Republican
or Democratic party is in power. Pro-
hibition is a tool-a very good one, to
be sure-but only a tool. The party
in power is our hired man. If it is in
terested in it's job, the tool will do
good work. But if not-well, you
know what kind of work thought
less or shiftless hired man does. He
accomplishes little and the chances
are that he will spoil the tools and
then lie about it.

AN UBIQUITOUS PROVISION.

The County Option and Dispensary
bill has been defeated in the lower
House, and this is doubtless it's death
blow. Those who attached the dis
pensary feature to the county option
idea must bear the responsibility. A
large amount of work has been done
in the past few years in behalf of a
county option law. The Good Tenn
plars and the Scandinavian Total Alb
stinence Associations have secured
more than $4,000 signatures to petit
tons for it. But neither they nor the
moral and Christian people of the
state generally desire that the state
shall go into the business of manufac-
turing drunkards directly. The part
nership is already sufficiently close
without putting our Commonwealth
behind the bar.
The Anti-wine Room bill, materially
amended and by so much weakened,
has passed the House.

STORY OF THE OLD JAIL.

The old st. Paul Jail, now being
taken down within easy sight of the
Office of Backbone, could deliver a
prohibition lecture that would move
the most stony heart. It would be a
story of temptation and of fall. A
story Of temptation-from without at
first, but afterward from within as
well as from without the man. A
story of struggle and of fall again and
again. A story of sore heads and
weary brains and broken hearts. A
story Of man, Gods noblest creature,
made in his image and intended to
dwell with him forever, besmirched,
enslaved, damned by drink-and this
drink sold according to law and it's
sale defended by multitude who
would scorn to be seen upon the street
with these, its victims. If the citizens
of St. Paul had the good sense to abol-
ish the saloon, there would be little
use for a new Jail.

DO YOU OWE US?

We are hoping and planning and
working to get to a point where we
can improve our paper and in several
ways increase it's usefulness. Every
such advance step costs money.
Backbone has not a dollar of capital
except it's subscription list.
We are pun lhg hard for new sub
scriptions and getting them. We ask
the aid of every friend of our cause,
especially at this time, in introducing
our paper into at least few new
homes. But this appeal is especially
addressed to our subscribers whose
renewals are due or past due.
All such received bill last month.
Many of them have since renewed, but
large number have not. In sixty
days (which will pass by so quickly
we must send out these bills again at
no little loss of time and money.
Must we send one to you? There is
enough due us to pay all our bills
(and they are pressing us) and give
Backbone a boom.

THE LIARS ABROAD.

The great dailies are falling in
line beautifully to aid the War Depart
ment's attempt to secure the restora-
ton of the canteen. One daily states
that the abolition of the canteen has
resulted in the establishment of eight
new saloons at Fort Sheridan, near
Chicago, and that more are to be
built Drunkenness has increased,
the citizens of Highwood, near the
fort, are in terror and-whatever
else you want to believe.
1t is sufficient to say that these as
sertions are absolutely without foun-
dalton. A New Voice reporter was
assured by every saloonkeeper at
Highwood that their sales had not in
creased since the abolition of the can
teen. The riot" alleged to have TAX
en- place on pay day, has not yet come
of.

San Francisco Star: The power Of the

New Voice: Prohibition, with party
behind it, is the only remedy for the sa-
loon.
Free Baptist: Resolve to carry more
religion into politics and less politics into
religion.
School Physiology Journal: II we save
the children today, we shall have the ma

Michigan Christian Advocate: The II.
quor tax appeals to mans avarice and the
legalized saloon to his appetite. Both
create temptations that mortals are unable
to resist.
Wisconsin Christian Advocate: How can
man be true to his church and true to
his political party when his party favors
the saloon and his church denounces the
saloon? Impossiblel
Union Signal: The ''saloon problem
will always remain a problem until the
policy of regulation gives way for entire
prohibition. And all the signs of the times
point to that contamination.

THE PRESIDENT RESPONSIBLE

The new army bill, passed in the
closing hours Of Congress, confers
upon the President full power to estab-
lish civil government in the Philip
pine Islands and to protect the inhabi-
tants in the enjoyment of liberty,
property and religion. This places
upon him as President the RESPONSE
bility of continuing or abolishing the
liquor traffic in Manila in addition to
the responsibility heretofore resting
upon him as Commander-in-chief of
the Army and Navy. Nevertheless the
wholesale expectation of the damning
fluid from this country by great cor
porations which have contributed lib
orally to the Republican campaign
fund will go on. And drink will con-
tinue to slay the Filipinos, of whom
Chairman Schurman, of the first
Philippine commission, said: II have
rarely seen one intoxicated" And
some of the defenders of the man who
is responsible for this murderous work
will claim that "He can't do any
thing" without the approval of some
s'teenth assistant to nobody and
for the million and s'teenth time Pro-
hibitionists will be denounced as liars
for telling the simple facts.

How large is the Prohibition issue

Our Christian and Methodist Presi-

Are you candidly, studiously and
prayerfully considering the grounds of
the claim of the Prohibition party to
your ballot?
The friends of our cause are con-
tributing their money to it more gen.
orally, more regularly and more lib
orally than ever before.
The old Pine Tree state is getting
around to the kind Of prohibition we
believe in, the kind which is enforced,

It to enforce it.
To speak the truth that ought to be
spoken on the liquor question, to
speak it to the right people, at the
right time and in the right spirit,
avoiding both bitterness and imbecili-
ty, is the gigantic problem which con-
fronts an army of true-hearted men
and women to-day. And they are
solving it in very good fashion, on the
whole.

that Supreme Court Judge had de-
clared the anti-canteen law invalid!
