A Warning to Friends of Temperance.

The action of the whiskey men by their
meeting at Elkton OH Tuesday, to plan
campaign for the coming election,
when the question of license or no license
is to be voted on, shows they are prepar-
ing for bitter contest, and should be a
warning to the temperance people that it
is high time some active steps were being
taken by them for organization to drive
this evil from our county this fall. This
pernicious traffic is probably stronger en-
trenched and better prepared to make a
stubborn fight for its continuance in the
county than ever before, and the move of
this week is evidence of the watchGulness
of the rum forces and the determination
with which they are preparing to resist
the storm which is brewing, aud which
must surely sweep their licensed infamy
from our county with flood of temper
ance votes.
But the accomplishment of this devout-
ly to be hoped for result, will not be by
inaction and the quietly permitting of
things to run along in their natural
course, without any special effort being
made to eradicate the influence
which the saloons have with certain
class of our voters, as their present term
of licensed sway has been as debasing
and demoralizing TO the manhood of our
county as it has been thriving and profit
able to the holders of the licenses To
the contrary it will require the hardest
and most persistent sort of concerted
action of the people on the side of tenn
perance and morality to combat and de.
stroy the influence engendered by these
pest-holes, and TO close them up. They
ever have been, and always will be, the
fountain source of all that is degrading
and misery producing, and there is not a
single extenuating excuse or argument
which can be advanced in defense of their
existence. To make it certain we are to
be freed from the clutches of the foul
tentaciesiof the saloon, the good people
of the county should be up and doing,
and organizing in every district to carry
on the fight from ROW to the day of cleo
ton, when success will crown their eff
forts and witness the banishment of the
gum demon and its attendant evils.
