F. A. Victor, of New York City, one
of the leaders of the young mems
movement toward the Prohibition
party, says:
The young man determines to fight the
saloon. He looks about him for a weapon.
The voice of his church comes ringing
down to him, "It can never be legalized
without sin.' ''No political party has a
right to expect, nor ought it to receive,
the votes of Christian men SO long as it
stands committed to the license policy,
or refuses to put itself upon record in an
attitude Of open hostility to the saloon"
Fidelity to church makes it necessary for
him to refuse to affiliate with license par
ties. But as he looks over the field again
he sees that the saloon owns, dominates
and controls every party but one. With
that party he must affiliate If he would be
true to himself, to his mother, to his
church, to his country, and to his God.
He needs it. He must have it. o young
men! come on. The Prohibition party
needs you, but you need the Prohibition
party more.

A Brave Quartette.
CHURCH GATHERINGS
SPEAK OUT.

The Missouri conference of the M.
e. Church, South, said the other day:
We call upon all our people, preachers
and laymeR not only to point the atti-
tude of our church, as set forth in our
General Conference deliverances, but to
go afeld in battle array, and from the pull
pit, press and platform, agitate until our
people at the ballot box vote as they pray,
and drive this monster from the land.
The Nebraska conference of the M.
e, church at it's recent session adopt
ed the following among other straight
out resolutions:
We ought, as church, to either cease
passing prohibition resolutions and to re-
scind the prohibition paragraphs in our
discipline, or else the bishops and preach
ers of the church ought to more earnestly
address themselves to the great task of
leading the people out from the rum
ruled parties, and more thoroughly con-
tinue to teach them their individual re-
sponsibility as citizens, until an aroused
Christian church shall say strongly by bal
lot, as by resolution, 1.-THE saloon must
co.
The Free Methodists, while
much smaller denomination, are at
least not behind their brethren of
Episcopal Methodism on the duty of
Christian voters to "come out from
among" the license parties and hold
aloft the banner of righteousness in
the political arena. The Ohio confer
ence said:
Let us preach prohibition until men
shall feel themselves out of harmony with
the Bible and the church in voting any but
the Prohibition ticket, the party which
alone stands for civic righteousness.
The North Indiana conference decid-
ed to "join hands with the Prohibition
party to work for the overthrow of the
liquor traffic." while the Northern con-
ference, by unanimous vote decided
that, as the liquor traffic is the great
est evil the church can combat, it is
the duty of every church member to
join the Prohibition party.

Put up or Shut up.

For the 'steeth time the Index re-.
peats that the republican managers
never agreed to recount of the votes
to settle the controversy as to who was
elected to the different offices in Barber
county. On the Saturday night when
Judge Gillett ordered the commission.
ers to count eight more votes for Mr.
Nixon than were cast in Elwood town
ship, DIR. Stout said that he was will
ing to recount all the votes cast in the
county, according to law and abide by
the result. Tom Noftzger of Anthony
said he was willing, but not single
republican in Barber county SAID amen.
Tom, of course, has mania for getting
into Barber county politics but he Is
not considered available until the re-
turns need "Noftzgerizing." But on
the recount proposition he was turned
down hard by the machine here. And
even Mr.. Noftzger did not favor Is re.
count under the law. He wanted to
count under rules and regulations laid
down by the machine in Medicine
Lodge.
But there is way to settle this dis
pute for all time. Ii these men want
a recount as their organ says they do,
there is little piece of paper in the
hands of the Independent committee
that We will request them to sign.
Cresset gas may be good in some quar-.
ters but names of responsible politi-
clans under reading matter that says
something are much better.
It IS up to you, gentlemen, to put up
or shut up.

Double Accident.

Eugenia Youmans fell from the fence
surrounding the Presbyterian church
on Tuesday night of last week while
playing with some other children and
dislocated her elbow, after the supper.
1t was necessary to chloroform her to
put the elbow in place. Drs. Kociell
and Coleman attended her.
To add to the unpleasantness, her
grandfather, G. W. Stevens, sustained
bad sprain OF the ankle while going
over to neighbours house to get as.
slssance in setting the elbow, so that
he was walking under difficulties the
succeeding several days with the aid of
a crutch. Gene says his house has
been temporarily transformed into a
hospital.
We are glad to know that all parties
are able to be out again.

+. NJ. She'll returned home Saturday.
The dispatch Informing him of his BOYS
misfortune reached him in Stevens
county Tuesday and he went from
there to Wichita where the boy had
been taken and placed in q hospital.
It was necessary to perform surgical
operation. A small piece of the skull
had lodged on the brain and it was
necessary to remove it. DIR. Purdue per.
formed it and the boy Is getting along
nicely and while he is not entirely
out OF danger, chances for recovery are
good. He Is perfectly conscious and
knows that he was kicked on the head by
the family horse but the rest of the
time up to the time he gained con-
sciousness at Wichita is a blank.
Mrs. Shell remained with HIM at the
hospital. When you speak of mar
row escapes, this is one of them.
