ABRAMS MISSION.
.Lspirit Lake Beacon. 1

According to report in the .Des
Moines Capital Rev. ii. n. Abrams, in
q public meeting ait Okoboji last Sun
day, advised Dickinson county people
to boycott the Beacon. We are not a.
all alarmed over this proposition. The
people of Dickinson county as a rule are
not intolerant. They are inclined to
stand for the right of private judgment
and free speech. Those who differ from
this paper as to the best policy Of
handling the liquor question in Iowa
and in Dickinson county are usually
fair enough to judge 1t as whole and
not love it or scorn 1t on the basis of a
single issue. 1t seems to be the mission
of Abrams to foment discord. He is as
bitter toward people who want to be
true to the interests of common human
ity as they see their line of duty as to-
wards enemies of society. 1t matters not
what 1t said or done along good and
helpful lines If one does not join his cru
sades Abrams is venomous. This is his
full measure Of manhood and moral
worth. In this same meeting he de-
nounced local ministers as towards, de-
claring he would not speak to them in
heaven for several days. 1t is fortunate
for mankind that most moral teachers
have more kindly spirit. and particu-
larly fortunate that in the Just judg-
merits that obtain at the bar of divine
Justice abigotry Is impossible and bitter
ness is unknown.
