WILL somebody please explain why
the Cresset is SO silent on its new pet
county printer law? Is it because the
religious weekly" is afraid to face
the people on the issue? If the law
stands, 1t will occasion a special cleo
ton every odd year for the sole pur-
pose of electlng county printer. 1t
also more than thribbles the cost of
county printing. But there's nothing
like pensloning the Lorton-Axline Big
Four combine. The remaining portion
of Barber county's population ought to
feel honored for the privilege of living
here and paying taxes in order to keep
these swell political grafters on velvet.

In the days of cannibaliSm the
strong devoured the weak-actually
ate their flesh. In spite of all laws
that man has made, in spite OF all
advances IN science. the heartless still
live on the weak, the unfortunate and
the foolish. True they do not eat their
flesh nor drink the blood, but they live
on their labor, their self denial, their
weakness and want. The poor mau
who deforms himself by toll, who la
borS for his wife and children through
all his anxious, barren, blasted life-Ee
goes to the grave without one luxury
has been the food of others. He has
been devoured by his fellowmen. The
poor woman who lives in the bare and
lonely room, cherries and fireless,
sewing night and day to keep starva-
ton from child. is slowly being eaten
by her fellowmen. When | take into

QUAKER'S TEMPERANCE LECTURE
Several persons, among them Quak-
er, were crossing the Allegheny Noun
tains in stage.
A lively discussion arose on the SUBJ
ject of temperance and the liquor bust
ness, and those engaged in it were Sc
yerely handled. One of the company re-
NAMED silent. After enduring as long
as he could he said: ''Gentlemen, l
want you to understand that l am
liquor dealer. keep public house,
but would have you to know that l
have a license and keep decent house.
don't keep loafers and loungers about
my place, and when a man has enough
he can get no more at my bar. l sell
ID decent people, and do a respectable
business
He thought he had put quietus on
the subject, and that no answer could
be given. Not SO. The Quaker said:
Friend, that Is the most damnable
part of thy business. If thee would sell
to drunkards and ioafers, thee would
help to kill off the race, and society
would be rid of them. But thee takes
the young, the poor, the innocent, and
the unsuspectiDg, making drunkards
aud lOafers of them. When their char
acter and money are all gone thee kicks
them out. and turns them over to other
shops to finish them off; and thee en-
snares others and sends them over the
sap1G road to RUM

Liquor drinking is source of degra
datioD and decentralization everywhere.
Ii it be III the New Hebrides, it undoes
the world work of such men as the
i'll Africa, it helps to keep the people
in degradation. 1t it be in Manila, it
lnterteres with the progress of our civ
iliZation. If it be in any of our home
states, it makes trouble such as Miss
her mission field In Kentucky. In ev-
cry place it is the foe OF goodness and
truth, of God and of man. God hasten
the day of its northumberland and
