The TcnopaI1 FIGHT.

On Thursday night Senator Bell
called up the Tonopah bin out of Or

was passed section by section. Then
friends of Senator Bell asked that fur
Their consideration be suspended until
the next day SC Senator Bell could
see if he wished any other amend

a SAMPLE PRoHIeITloNIsr.

National Chairman Stewart, who is a
member of the Illinois House Of Repre-
sentatives continues his impressive OBJ
ject lesson of what the Prohibition party
would do were it in power. He has rem
dered the cause of decency good service
by his able opposition to a bill to legalize
prize fighting and to a bill to enrich each
member of the present Legislature by
$500, contrary to at least the spirit of
the Constitution. He has supported the
bill giving localities the right to vote out
the saloon. Among other bills to which
is an excellent child labor BILL He has
also succeeded in increasing the number
of women inspectors Of factories.

A FEW VICTORIES.

The last Congress passed the Gillette
Lodge Act forbiddfng American rumsel-
lers to sell intoxicants and opium in Pa
cific Islands having no civilized govern
ment. Amendments were secured to sue :
cessful measures forbidding the sale of
intoxicants in our immigrant stations or
in the Capitol building. A second half
million dollars were secured for amuse-
ment rooms and gymnasiums to be used
teens The record falls far short, how
ever, of the preceding congress.
All the anti-liquor forces co-operated
in achieving these victories. The Inter-
national Reform Bureau, Washington, D.
c., Rev. w. F. Crafts, Phi. D., Superintend-
ent, is a great "co-operator" and should
receive liberal pecuniary aid.
The reform measures that died with the
expired Congress will be taken up anew
at once, with the hope of carrying them
early in the next Congress. Among them
are the interstate liquor bill and the Nc
Cumber liquor bill to forbid liquor selling
in government buildings

Now! All Together!
Appeal to PrOhibitionists to Put Backbone
and Our Remaining 1000 Seed and Bulb
Collections Into 1000 New Homes.

Do you know Of any paper which has
made SO liberal a premium offer as Back
bone? We could name one, whose price
is $1.50, which offers the Cinnamon Vine
Bulbs alone. We charge only 25 cents
for Backbone and give both Seeds and
Bulbs free. Many of our correspondents
express themselves as astonished at our
iberality. This pleases us, but our need is
to turn this establishment into hustle for
new subscriptions.
At heavy expense for printing, postage
and clerk hire, we have sent or are send
ing out nearly $4,000 announcements of
our offer in various forms. This is in ad-
dition to $4,000 copies of Backbone which
have contained the announcement occu-
pying advertising space worth nearly $100.
About $4,000 coin mailers and many
thousand return envelopes are or soon
will be in the hands of our readers. We
have thus given Minnesota Prohibition
lists the best chance they have ever had
to widen the hearing for our cause. Some
have done royalty. Many have as yet
done nothing.
We appeal to the latter to yet achieve
a splendid victory. The 1000 Collections
of Seeds and Bulbs could easily be called
out in the next two weeks. There are
more than ten who could each secure 100
new subscribers. There are several hun
dred who could each get ten. Several
thousand could send one, two or three.
& WILL they? Will YOU?

Prohibition Pays.
The Saloon a Leech Upon Business.
The Revenue Argument
A Fraud.

The tax-paying citizen, when his
eyes are opened, will be the most ar
dent of prohibitionists, says the Union
Signal He will see that the licensed
drink traffic is a source of expense
rather than a source of revenue, that
it's drain upon the public resources
means even from money standpoint
balance upon the wrong side of the
ledger. We state it mildly when we
say that for every dollar the liquor bus
mess puts into the treasury it draws
out two. Political economists do not
hesitate to assert that eighty per cent
of the crime and pauperism of the
country is chargeable to the saloon.
On this basis it is no exaggeration to
say that for every dollar it puts in it
draws out four. To all who are will
ing to be convinced, official figures ev-
erywhere prove that while the trade
piles up wealth for whisky trusts and
salOonkeepers, it never fails to i'm
poverish the city or state which fos-
ters and protects it under a license
system, however high. If the honest
taxpayer wishes to tighten his own
burden and have state or city money
enough to carry out laudable improve
ment schemes, let him lend his inf1u-
ence and give his vote to the prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic and get after
the tax-dodgers.

THE sALooNkEEPER,s VIEW.

State Chairman Newlin of Indiana
has habit of talking with local sa-
loonkeepers before his meetings. He
gets some good points for his address
which are much appreciated.
He asked one saloonkeeper how he
thought Christian man, who really
was opposed to the saloon and believed
it was a bad institution, should vote.
He frankly said, "Why,-it, there haint
but one political party he could vote
with and be consistent. The Prohibi-
tion party is the only one that is
against the saloon'
Mr.. Newlin says that this is prac-
tically the answer which he has re-
ceived from every saloonkeeper whom
he has interviewed.

PROHIBITION AND REVEALS

Some months ago Rev. Quincy Lee Nor
row, speaking in the First Swedish Bap-
tist church, st. Paul, made the startling
statement that after travelling from the
Atlantic to the Pacific during the last
year or two he could not recall single
instance Of a church where there had been
a large ingathering Of souls, say from
fifty to one hundred, which was not OPEN
ly and avowedly on the side of the Pro-
hibition party. This was the climax to
a most startling array of figures showing
the remarkably slight gains that the diff
ferent evangelical denominations had
made by conversions during the same
period The inference he drew was that
the Holy Spirit would not work through
churches that were unclean in their as
sociations, no matter whether the as
sociatfon was of social, commercial,
moral or political character.

Prohibitionists have elected their can
didate for mayor of East Liverpool, Ohio,
city of over 10000. Mayor Weaver will
have the making Of between 80 and 40
appointments, a part of them holding
over four years
It was hard .tussle. More than 1900
votes were cast. Carriages were used
and house to house canvass made by
both parties.
Prohibitionists are jubilant. Republi-
cans are down cast. Great crowds re-
mained in the streets until two o'clock
the next morning. The women held all
day meetings on election day, praying for
the success of the Prohibition party.
That it pays to nominate in local elec-
tions and in this way build up a real
prohibition is evident.
The vote Of Haines, Prohibition candi-
date for mayor Of Chicago, is put at
something over 5000. The remainder of
the ticket received about 1000. Encour-
aging returns come from other Illinois
points and the state committee will
strongly urge local nominations next
spring.
Cincinnati greatly increased her Prohi-
bition vote for mayor. Akron, Ohio.
doubled her vote, raising it to nearly
1000.

Capturing a County.
A Pennsylvania County Shows the
PrOhlbitiOnlsts of the Nation
How to do 1t.

Oil City, Pa, March 25.-Where in
the United States is there a more en-
thusiastic lot of Prohibitionists than
can be found in Venango county? At
the recent local elections it elected
134 party Prohibition candidates to Of
fee. Two years ago the Prohibition
lists were elated because ninety-eight
of their nominees were swept into Of
fee. Last year there was slight in
crease. Soon the whole county will
be in the hands of the Prohibition par
ty. The sheriff's Office is now in con-
troll of the party. We swept eight
townships and two boroughs this year.
Not Republican or Democrat was
elected in any Of these towns.
People are rallying as never before
to the support of the Prohibition party.
The enthusiasm is spreading and it
will not be long before other counties
will be carried by the Prohibition par
ty and then the whole state. In some
of the townships the old parties united
to kill off the Prohibitionists but were
Overwhelmingly defeated.
1t must be understood that some OF
those elected last year as Prohibition
party candidates are still in Office and
from now until March LIST of next year
there will be 200 party prohibitionists
holding Office in Venango county. Let
other candidates throughout the land
try to equal this record.
Who are the men that vote the Pro
hibition ticket? Two-thirds Of them
are young men under thirty years of
age. They believe in the new party
and are willing to join it now in it's
infancy and go with it to national sue
cess. These are the influential men of
the future. They are wise in coming
into the Prohibition fold.
This success was not brought about
by little, brief, half-hearted cam
paign but shows the result of faithful
work in every school district, carried
on during the last six years. Constant
agitation, with thorough organization,
brought about this success. It can be
duplicated in almost any other county
in the United States.
What are our Prohibition friends in
other states waiting for? Why don't
they go up and possess the land? 1t
can be done. The Prohibition party
will get the votes of the people when
ever they see that it is in earnest and
wants to succeed. Let citizens every
where awake, for the Prohibition ava
lanche is coming.

which he had bought. The other man
takes few of his friends and spends
