State Leader (Mo): There are so many
Christian voters who are SO afraid of los

to the devil for safe keeping.
Oregon Searchlight: Since ours Is gov
eminent by the people, If the saloon Is not
banished the responsibility for its con-
tinuance must rest with the people.
Pennsylvania Methodist: The most
serious question is not Shall the saloon
die? but rather, Shall the church liver
The future attitude Of the latter to the
former must soon settle that question.
Baptist Reflector: You may write all
the editorials and pass all the resolutions
you wish. Saloonkeepers care nothing for
those things so long as Christian people

TO COUNTY Committeeman.

. While the State Committee keenly ap-
preciates the local cooperation and sup
port of the county committeeman through
out the state, still we feel justified In urg-
ing vastly greater activity during the COM
ing campaign. While the election laws
have made county campaigns almost i'm
possible during the past several years, the
value of activity on the part Of the various
county committees can scarcely be overes-
timated. Every county committee, either
through the person Of it's chairman or Sec
rotary, ought to
Prohibitionists In every point In the
county;
Cooperate actively with the State Com
mittee In seeing that able speakers are
sent over the country as frequently as
practicable;
Systematically district the county for
rural meetings.;
Continuously augment the circulation Of
Prohibition papers;
F Cooperate In the extensive circulation Of
Prohibition literature.
In addition to the above, which Is the
least which ought to be done, the active
chairman or secretary can:
Increase the number of Prohibition meet
ings in the churches;
Keep the local papers supplied with Pro-
hibition news items and articles;
Arrange for Prohibition joint debates or
entertainments, and In many other ways
as may best suit his capabilities and en-
vironments, keep the question everlastingly
before the people.
In any and all Of these projects the State
Committee stands ever anxious to cooper
ate with the local organization in every
possible way, and especially at this time
are we DESTROYS of cooperating in every
effort to make the county conventions sig
nally successful.

rality of no people can be maintained above

Far from me the intention Of minimiz-
ing the efficacy of prayer, but the Almighty

STICK THOSE sTlckERs.

Attention Is called to the reprint of
stickers which the State Committee
has just issued. These stickers are
to be used on letters and envelopes,
stuck up in all public places where no
tees of any nature are permitted, on
the borders of maps and advertising
calendars and posters, in hotels, post
offices, stores, barber shops and in
every other possible way made to
bring before the eye of every voter in
this state some of the truths touching
the saloon problem. Let every Pro
hibitionist and every boy and girl
throughout the entire state who is in
terested in the great reform send for
a hundred or thousand of these
stickers and make immediate and
vigorous use of them. It is not say
ing too much to assert that often a
single sentence bears down upon the
mind Of the intelligent and honest
thinker with persistent force greater

NO ROOM FOR CONSCIENCE.

Minneapolis boasts a fashionable
caterer-our readers will guess his
name easily-who, under no circum-
stances, will serve at social func-
ton where wine Is on the menu.
When the question Is raised, not
few prospective customers manifest
their displeasure. One lady, on being
informed recently that the proprietor
could not meet her desires in the mat
ter, said, quite sharply, swell, Mr.. D.
is certainly not in the right business"
Certainly not. And doctor who has
any convictions on the question, upon
which he will not put a price, ought
to choose some other profession, be-
cause many patients want prescrip-
ton to crafty their insane appetites.
A lawyer who has a character to
maintain ought to earn his living in
some other way, for liquor clients
have lots of good money.
A minister who is not willing to
preach to order ought to have kept
out of the pulpit, for people don't
like to have the cloth condemn their
bad habits and license party affilia-
tons.
Everybody who has political ambi-
lions should suppress any righteous
convictions he may have on the sa-
loon issue, for the woods are full of
men who are very sensitive on this
point and who, for their party's sake,
IL not for their own, will put forth
superhuman efforts to down any Office
seeker who will not make terms with
the saloon.

The State Committee proposes to spare
no expense or effort to make the approach
ing county conventions the most successful
ever held in this state. Conditions are ex-
ceptionally favorable to this result. Interest
throughout the various counties Is keener
than ever before, and we may legitimately
anticipate a larger attendance Of the rep
resentative Prohibitionists of each county
than have gathered on like occasions in the
past. It is the plan of the State Commit
tee, moreover, to send a speaker to each
county for a few days preceding the con-
vention, If possible, to hold conferences
and rallies and evening meetings for the
purpose Of arousing interest and enthu-
siasm In the county gatherings. One or
more speakers will be furnished for each

BACKBONE.

Not only caterers, but business men
generally, unless they will keep still
about the saloon evil, should go out of
business, for the saloon is power
which is making itself felt in the bust
ness world.
In fact, there is no entirely safe
place for anybody but professional re-
formers, and even they would do well
to be a little more discreet than some
of them are.

EVERY PRoHlRlTioNlsT A eivER.


The Prohibition vote in Minnesota
in 1900 was 1856. The number of
names on the pledge book, showing
the number of persons who pledged
support to the cause during 1901, was
1882. OF this number 243 were wo-
men, and not few were under vot-
ing age and considerable number
were earnest friends of the cause who
support 1t at every place excepting
the ballot box. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that less than one Prohibition
voter In eight contributed to the sue
cess of the movement in the state.
This means that the amount of work
accomplished by the party is less than
one-eighth of what it might be if every
supporter at the ballot box were also
loyal at the party treasury. This year
will certainly see large improvements
along this line, but there ought to
be 1866 prohibition voters with their
names on the books as regular annual
supporters of the efforts of the State
Committee in the prosecution of the
business Of the party. This would
mean greater local activity through
out the field. We have on our books
thus far this year 548 names. If your
name is not already on this list, IT

THE STATE CONVENTION.

Those who were present at the last
state convention, held in the city of
Minneapolis March Goth and 21st,
1900, will long remember it as one Of
the most helpful and enthusiastic
gatherings in the history Of the party
in this state. The actual attendance
at the 1900 convention was so large
that we dare not expect very consid-
cradle increase in the number of dele
gates present, but we have the right
to expect that in point of helpfulness
and interest the 1902 convention will
by far exceed any preceding gathering
the party has ever held. National
Chairman Stewart has already been
engaged for the occasion, and although
the program has not yet been outlined,
it is safe to say that one evening will
be given to rally, to be addressed
by the head of the national organiza-
tion.

The State Committee has the right
Of way in this issue. Chairman Hig-

wise and brave leaders. Let us all
stand by them. Let each Prohibition

upon and rallying to every emergency.

RICE WILL MAY BE PROBATED.
THE APPELLATE DIVISION APPROVES THE
REFUSAL TO GRANT TO PATRICK
WRIT OF PROHIBITION

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
Yesterday handed down a decision affirming the
order of Justice Bischof in the of the people
on the relation of Albert T. Patrick individually
and as executor of the 1900 will of William NJ
Rice against Surrogate Fitzgerald and others
Justice Bischoff in his order dismissed aterna-
tive writ of prohibition. and denied absolute
writ forbidding the probate of either the wills
of Mr.. Rice. The defendants included John D.
Bartine as an executor of the 1896 WILL Eugene
L. Bushe as special guardian of Nina Belle Rice
and Charles T. Adams.
Under the decision of the Appellate Division the
Surrogate may go ahead with the and may
probate either of the wills If in his discretion it
should be admitted to probate. Patrick sought to
nrevent the probate OF the earlier will, and the
present decision is. therefore. against him.
The opinion of the court is written by Justice
Iaughlin. He says that the writ of prohibition
lies only where there is want of jurisdiction or
where court, judge other tribunal is proceed
ing in excess of the jurisdiction conferred
The subscribing witnesses to the will of 1900 were
indicted for perjury, and the alternative writ re-
cited that the Surrogate had sustained their claim
Of privilege not TO be compelled to testify, and
that he about to dismiss the proceedings for
the probate of that will. and admit the other to
probate.
Justice Laughin says that the dismissal or de-
NAL of probate for failure of proof is not to be
dismissal on the merits 1t merely disposes OF the
present proceedings. and is d determination that
satisfactory proof that the alleged will of 1909
is the last will and testament of the testator has

1896 has been duly proved, and that evidence has
been given tending to show that the later will

evidence with reference to the validity of either

justify the issuing of an absolute writ Of prohibit
