AN HISTORIC PLACE,

Boston, Mass, Dec. 21.-"Yes, I remem-
Der John B. Finch very WE'LL" said Mr.
Hall, manager of the Adams House. HE
was a delightful conversationalist. 1t was
his custom to make his headquarters at the
Adams House when called to New England
on party affairs. 1t was a sad day when he
left the hotel in a happy frame of mind
and returned in a few hours corpse l
missed him as a friend.''
On that fatal day Mr.. Finch visited state
headquarters and remarked that his health
was never better in his life He spent
the day with Prohibitionists at the Adams
House and elsewhere and in the evening ad-
dressed 1900 people at Lynn. Returning
on late train for Boston Mr. Finch before
leaving the train said, II have felt that
although it cost me as much sacrifice as it
would most men to leave my old party, 1
have been freer, happier man as Pro-
hibitionist than before I joined the party"
Leaving the train and walking through the
north station, Mr.. Finch suddenly gasped
for breath and fell to the floor. Within a
few seconds he was dead and the prohibit
ton cause lost it's greatest leader.
Because Of it's associations the Adams
House is a place Of attraction for temper
ance and prohibition people throughout the
United States. 1t is the largest and best
hotel in Boston. 1t was open for business
In 174O and called Old Lambs Tavern, but
after 1O4 years the name was changed to
the Adams House. 1t has been enlarged
four times. 1t Is conducted on the Eu-
ropean plan. If you want comfort pleas
ant apartment and the best service at rea-
sonable rates, stop at the Adams House
when you are In Boston.

II Resolution for The neW Year.
promise, God btlpin9 me, that I will not
hereafter vote for any candidate Or any party not
openly committed to opposition to The saloon.

The rumor has gone abroad that the pos
tai department has ruled that subscrip-
ton to any paper must be discontinued
when the time for which it is paid in ad-
vance has expired. This is an error and
the new postmaster general has taken pains
to correct the rumor. We continue, as
heretofore, to send our paper to our sub
scribers until directed to discontinue it and
until arearages, if there are any, are paid.
However, if we know that a paper has
been sent as a GIFT to the person to whom
it is addressed, we stop it at or soon after
expiration, unless renewed.
We are putting more money into the
illustration of Backbone than heretofore.
Although we have always printed upon an
excellent quality of paper, we have lately
begun to use a still better quality. AS we
are in the grip of the Paper Trust, this
means considerable additional outlay.
We have also heightened our page an
inch. We hope these improvements will be
appreciated and that our readers will de-
sire to help US to make still further i'm
provements possible.

DAMNING OUR VETERANS.

A blacker, fouler shame never ex-
listed than the thrusting of the saloon
into the Homes for our veterans. OF
the men who are responsible for it's
establishment there and for it's contin
uance, it is impossible to think or
speak with patience. Every fact of the
case is disgraceful to them, individu
ally and collectively. But they are not
alone responsible. The people have it
in their power to command these men
to abate the nuisance that they main
tain. Indeed, the people have so COM
manded already, by any proper inter-
probation of the anti-canteen law.
Now let the command be repeated in
tones and terms that cannot be disre-
garded, the canteen in the soldiers

AGGRESSIVE COLLEGE MEN.

D. Leigh Colvin, president Of the Ma
tional Intercollegiate Prohibition Associa-
ton, has organized good Leagues at ten col
leges and universities. In four of them
one-haf or more Of the students are men,
bers. Every college Y. NJ. c. A. secretary
on the Pacific coast, with one exception, Is
a party Prohibitionist. About 20 per cent.
of all men in Michigan colleges, with the
exception of the State University, are
in Prohibition leagues and there are other
Prohibitionists who have not united. This
means that there are ten times as many
Prohibition voters among the students
In proportion to their total number, as
there are among the rank and file of
the state voters. Organizer Hay has Or
ganized the 25th college Prohibition club in
Missouri.

NOT TRUE TO OUR STANDARDS.

NOT TRUE TO OUR STANDARDS.
When secular journals give utter
ance to sentiments like the following,
it is time that all defenders of gen.
uine Christianity and all who desire
the welfare of the church should care
fully consider the subject. The words
are certainly timely. Whether or not
they fully answer the oft asked ques-
ton why the church does not have a
greater influence over young men, they
certainly state a truth, illustrations Of
which are not hard to find. We quote
from the Boston Herald:
zone reason why educated and moral
youth are Indifferent to religion is because
they see that the religion of the churches :h es
is Indifferent to public wrongs committed
by politicians, and too often blindly ap-
plauds them when they seem successful.
These wrongs are done In many cases by
men who do not openly violate the com
mandments regarding private morals. But
in politics they fancy there is license to
do evil for selfish gain, or for party su-
premacy, or for national glory. When
young men take notice that these things
do not fetch a rebuke from the guardians
OF religion, they may be excused for think
ing religion is not altogether what it's guar
dams sometimes proclaim it to be-what 1t
must be if it is to be worth much-a rule
for the whole life"

We are having great excitement here and
to date one law suit resulting from the
vaccination law Of Minnesota in regard to
closing schools and the attendance of chill
dren who have not been vaccinated This
town is determined to have the letter of
the law observed. Yet, strange to say, for
years there has never been a case brought
against saloonkeeper and every provision
Of the license law is openly violated every
day.
1t Is very surprising how much more dan
gerous small pox is than these open sa-
looms. Boys, men and women are sought
out to carry on the trade and are vaccin-
