Make one emphatic protest, cast one
red-hot ballot against the saloon; not
the saloon opposite your door or In
your town, merely, but THE AMERI-
CAN SALOON. The Prohibition party
gives you an opportunity far as we
know, the only opportunity-to do SO.
1t demands that wherever the flag
floats the saloon shall die.
"You can't" is about as easy to say
as anything in the language. The
clause contains only two words; they
are very short and lots of people
know how to pronounce them cor
rectly. But, then, even when they
have been spoken properly and posi-
lively, it has often been proven that
you CAN.
The Prohibition party has not been
electing as many candidates as it
would like to or as many as it will
elect. But it has been electing more
recently than heretofore. And, mark
you, the election of it's candi-
dates are not it's only victories. Ev-
cry vote cast for such candidate
every vote, we say-helps definitely to
ELECT THE ISSUE.
Sam Small contracted the liquor
habit in state in which one of the
old parties legalizes the sale of liquor,
and, after reformation, fell again in a
state in which the other great party
allows the prohibitory law to be ruth
lessly trampled upon. The Prohibi-
ton party begs for power to utterly
pulverize the liquor traffic. Give it
your vote.

have absorbed the prohibition element Of

MEANING OF A BALLOT.

If you vote the ticket of party
which is committed to gold or silver,
high or low tariff, expansion or anti
expansion, you vote for the principle
or principles which that party repre-
sents. Everybody so considers. You
so consider. What, then, do you vote
for when you give your ballot to a
party which in it's platform-so far
as it has made any declarations and
by it's record is committed to the per-
petuation of the saloon in state and
nation? You may not desire that the
saloon shall continue its dastardly
work. You may quite earnestly wish
to witness it's death. You may be
willing to work and to make sacrifices
to realize this consummation. But if
you vote with license party, you vote
for license, and il you vote for license,
you vote for the saloon. If you doubt
this, you have only to ask yourself
this question, Suppose I favored a
gold standard, high tariff and expan-
sion but voted the Democratic ticket.
What policy upon these questions
would my ballot demand?" But it
may be said, 81 abhor the saloon and
with the Republican Tor Democratic)
party because of it's position upon
other issues. I wish could vote my
convictions on these issues and at the
same time vote against the saloon.
But since cannot, continue to vote
with my party and mentally protest
against it's position on the saloon is
sue." This is as good an evasion Of
the plain duty in the case as could
well be devised. Whatever may be
said of the wisdom and righteousness
of sidetracking political-moral issue
of the greatest magnitude for mere
question of dollars and cents, the
author of such a defense is compelled
to face again this plain fact, viz: a
vote for party is vote for the prin-
ciples-all the principles-of that
party. He may protest against some
of them but he votes for them just
the same.
But it will be said that men in a
given party will naturally differ.
Each cannot expect to have his way
regarding every plank in his party's
platform, and that therefore he should
give his ballot to that party which,
on the whole, most nearly represents
his views. This, we believe, is true
with this understanding: that the
party which most nearly represents
ones convictions is not the party
which favors the largest number Of
principles and measures which he ap-
proves, but the one which champions
the greatest such. They must be
weighed and measured, not counted.
If this position be correctly taken,
an enemy of the saloon is led logic
ally into the ranks of the Prohibition
party. He belongs there. When his
eyes have been opened to the magni-
tude Of the saloon evil and of the
enormity of the sin and crime Of pro-
tecting and perpetuating or even toll
Grating it, no mere question Of wealth
or national power or glory should
weigh with him in comparison with
this tremendous issue.

Vote for the American home.
The way to elect a man is to vote

The Church must destroy the saloon

Yes, it is called a secret ballot; but

every ticket but the Prohibition ticket.

bigger if you give it your vote.
One man cannot, alone, destroy the
saloon, but he can vote himself out
of partnership with it.
If you vote the same ticket as some
saloonkeeper, there is no way Of dis
tinguishing your ballot from his. De-

for any anti-saloon party.

We are awaking to the fact that the
saloon is the foe Of the workingman

YokED TOGETHER

UNEQUALLY YokED TOGETHER.
Knowing that church members and
preachers in considerable numbers
will vote for Governor Van SAINT and
noting that his campaign portrait
adorns many saloon windows, we sup
pose he has very good chance of re-
election. And this only illustrates the
political game Of .oday, which con-
sists in yoking the church and the
saloon together to pull the same pol
itical load. And it doesn't seem hard
to work the game, either. This is
another way of saying-to put it very
mildly-that there isn't as much wis
dom in the world as there might be,
and that it is true today, as wise
teacher said it was ages ago, that the
children of light are sometimes in the
greater darkness.
But it may be that some of our read
ers have read this little homily with
Impotence, anxious to ask, 'But what
of it if a saloonkeeper is willing that
the governors picture shall hang in
his window, or even If he chooses to
vote and work for him?" We will
reply by asking another question.

FOND MAMMA WAS SHOCKED.

There Is a sweet-faced little mother
out on the West Side, who, as she goes
about her daily task, wears alternately
an amused and sorrowfui expression,
and this is the cause:
She has two boys, aged and years,
and she has long boosted of never hav-
ing heard a naughty word from either
and that they never have failed 20 say
their prayers voluntarily. She has
thus far succeeded in keeping them
aIoof from the boys on the street and
the result of their constant association
with mama has been to cultivate gen
tleness of manner of which the parents
have been Justly proud. They areshll
regarded as babies by the dotIng
parents and their Aaxen curls bear ont
the presumption.
One evening last week the two had
been warmly tucked into their little blue
bed and then mamma sat its by side,
book 10 hand, waiting for the pair to go
TO sleep, so that she might turn down
the light. being aware that they would
not tolerate darkness If they knew it..
Willie, the older, immediately on get
ting into bed, lay back on his pillow
and closed his eyes. His younger
brother lay blinking at the light until
he became lonesome, and failing to get
up a conversation with mamma, who
was absorbed in her novel, said softly,
willie"
Willie made 20 response and the
brother, after a moments wait said
again:
"WlIlie!"
Still no reply. The younger tot,
thinking Willie was playing ''possum'
and being made angry by such impo-
lite treatment, gave HIM a poke in the
ribs and IN a burst of temper, ex-
| claimed
''Willle!"
Willie jumped bolt upright IN bed,
and with a face betraying intense an.

brother nearly out of bed:
