HOW VENANGO WON.

The New Jersey Gazette, published
at Camden, recently said:
There are good many Prohibi-
tionists in this state who think that
it is time we did something besides
simply voting-that it is time we be-
gan to carry the elections, in spots. 1t
can be done whenever we are ready to
pay the price"
The Gazette thereupon issued a
special number detailing the methods
by which party Prohibitionists have
been elected to one hundred Offices
in Venango county, Pennsylvania, on
a straight Prohibition party ticket The
party is certainly taking on new life
and many Prohibitionists will want to
know how their keystone comrades
turned the trick. We suppose a nickel
will bring copy of the Venango Spe-
cial.

EPWORTH LEAGUE FORWARD
MOVEMENT

The church, as Prohibitionists have
constantly asserted, holds the key to
the situation. Young people in the
churches are freer than their elders
from commercial and political en-
tanglements, such as would embarrass
their efforts. They can kill the saloon
if they will. No Christian young peo-
pie are in better shape to lead vic
torious fight against that diabolical
institution than are the devoted young
people of the Methodist church. If this
movement is not side-tracked by those
who are likely to fear it's effect upon
the political aspirations of prominent
Methodists and upon the fortunes OF
the Republican party, which for gen.
GRAFTON has fattened at the Methodist
crib but pulled in the saloon harness,
it means the beginning of the end of
the saloon. We believe it means bust
ness. We believe it will win. Our
hearts are glad in this hope It will
help the church as much as it will hurt
the saloon.
Backbone. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. ;) 1897-1906, 1903-10-01

in as much doubt as formerly as to
how to battle against it. Nor can he
vote as crooked or work or give as lit
tie as aforetime and continue on good
terms with his conscience. Light is
coming.
The Wine and Spirit News doesn't
seem to love the Methodist church a
little bit. But it's affection for that
church and all the churches is as a
blazing furnace to an iceberg compar-
ed with the love which it will have for
them when they get down to business
in the fight with the saloon.
Why not nominate Oliver w. Stew
art for president? many are asking.
Because he won't run. Well, what's
the matter with Prof. Samuel Dickie? ?
He was born in Canada 1t was a SER
ious mistake which many Prohibs re-
greet but the bornee was too young at
the time to be justly held responsible
for the error, and it is now too late
to correct it.

amount Of it, very soon. Every dollar of

in fractions of dollar. With our last
issue we enclosed bills to those whose
renewals We're due. Many of them were
past due. This cost money for printing
and clerk hire. We are compelled to say

Pith of the Press.

Liberator, Toronto: If you are among
those who always let other people do it,
what right have you to complain when
they do it wrong?
Chicago Daily News: The dives and
dens, the barrel-houses and thieves re-
sorts are as bad and frequent in this
city to-day, after five years of high
license, as they ever were.
The People: The judge who said: 1--WE
might better pension the saloonkeepers at
a thousand dollars year than give them
a license to sell rum voiced the deliber-
ate judgment of all decent, law-abiding
people.
New Voice: There is not a scintilla of
reason why any young man in this day
should align himself on the side of either
OF the old political parties. They may
offer him something questionable in dol
lars and cents, some temporal emolument,
which will pass away, but at the sacri-
flee of everlasting honor.
Religious Telescope: Woman's most
queenly place on earth is at the head of
Well-ordered home that is graced with
a number of her own bright happy chill
dren. But to be the queen of such a home
she should be intelligently posted on
matters of church and state, and in JUS
tice to her family, and in the best inter-
ests of the country, should be crowned
with the right to vote, the same as the
men are crowned.

| when l have some money to spare,
I will send it to you. I would prefer
not to make subscription" Who
wouldn't? But if our men should re-
fuse to subscribe for the prosecution
of the work, we would be compelled to
shut up our reform shop in thirty
days.
There is no time in the year when
all our men can pay in cash what they
are able and glad to give in the course
of the year. If they will give their
pledge for the amount, the state COM
mittee or Backbone knows what it
will be safe to undertake. for no class
of men pay their pledges more fully
or promptly than Prohibitionists.
If our friends should decline to
pledge themselves, we would be al
most entirely at sea as to what and
how much work should be undertaken
The indefinite promises of cash "some
other time' bring little return. When
those who make them have any cash,
it goes for personal use or is con-
tributed to other causes nearer home or
personally presented, causes often not
so near the heart of the contributor as
is ours; causes, too, which most de-
cent people will support, whereas
comparatively few give to Prohibition.
This writer's experience of nearly
twenty years in the work has so
shown him the pecuniary worthless
ness Of indefinite promises, that he
very rarely makes even a memoran-
dunn of such encouragement. If when
a stirring appeal is made to one of our
workers by mail, through our paper
or personally, he will not make a
pledge, he is not likely to make a cash
remittance later of his own accord.
Almost the only exception to this rule
is the man who claims that he never
makes a bill of any kind But the
man who runs a bill at the grocery,
buys another farm on time or prom
ises the officers of his church at the
beginning of the year, his share of the
pastors salary, can and ought to
pledge what he cannot pay in cash to-
ward the support of the cause he
loves.
Comparatively few of our comrades
decline to do so when PERSONALLY
APPROACHED. The time has now
come when every Prohibitionist should
at the beginning of the fiscal year
MAIL his pledge to those whom the
party has charged with the duty of
planning and pushing the work and
paying the bills. The fiscal year of
both the state committee and Backbone
begins October 1. This article there
fore has point which our bright read
ers will not fail to see. Contributions

Are you a gutter or a slayer?

Both Sides quotes from the yelling
ton Standard thirty-two proofs of the
failure of prohibition in Kansas. 1t
fails to mention, as one of them, that
every saloonist in the land thinks
the Sunf1ower state ought to go back
to license.
The striking similarity in tone, ar
gument and language of the pro-can-
teen editorials which appear simultan-
eously in numerous dailies suggests to
the untutored mind that the War de-
partment pro-canteen news bureau is
in excellent working condition.
The state board of control proposes
to reconstruct the main building of
the hospital at st. Peter next year at
an expense of $4,000. Apropos of this
outlay is the report of the British
1unacy commission to the effect that
80 per cent of the lunacy of that .coun-
try is caused by drink.
"The saloon would kill the church if
it could, and the church could kill the
saloon if it would" All our Prohibi-
ton exchanges are quoting this pun
gent sentence and variously crediting
er might we'll desire to have turned
out phrase so telling and true.
Our esteemed Minnesota liquor con-
temporary devotes three-quarters of a
column to history of the first sa-
loon run in Minnesota. The only thing
worth noting in the account is that
the ancient booze vender was a law
breaker and there's nothing strange
about that
A recent issue of Canada's Prohibi-
ton paper the Liberator, gives it's en-
tire title page to display of this SEN
timent These are the times that
try the souls of men," Our comrades
across the line had just come out of a
conflict in which they had tried to
win prohibition victory through the
old parties.
Did it ever occur to you that the en-
tire argument from a financial stand
point is on the side of the Prohibition
lists? And do you imagine that this
fact can be kept from shrewd business
men and taxpayers very much longer?
Or that when they see the point and
feel the pressure, they will not act?
Are they such haters of themselves 3?
Will they forever delight to support a
half million saloonkeepers and bar
tenders out of their own pockets and
from the tills of their own business?

The Prohibition party only needs about

The principle of prohibition seems to me

V. This emperor abdicated the
sovereignty of the whole of the
Netherlands in favor of his son

At this period the Netherlands
