"sTARvE THE SALOON"

At the M. E. Church Sunday
afternoon was held union meeting
of the young peoples societies o.
Mt. Sterling, when the above sub
ject was discussed.
The question carries with it the
unmistakable conclusion tina I
saloons are menace to the society
where operated, and a continual
dread to the parent who has chill
dren to bring up, lest they are
caught within the coils of the
venomed serpent that turks therein.
This subject also furnishes this
suggestion Death must come to
the saloon or to many of our bright
boys. Which shall it be2
The saloon must be killed or it
becomes conspicuous in society, pol
itics, the church, the home and the
pulpit. Snail God's saints, tic
young people of the religious socie-
ties line up against this growing
evil to destroy it5 How can it be
doneP Some say make the local
option lsw effective in every pre-
cinct in the State and it will he
done. Others would have nation
al law forbidding the sale of the
stuff within the United States |
others would have high license
and still others would
lave them operate at one place
to die of their own cor
upton, and those disgraced by
is use with them; but we know OF
10 better way than to starve it out,
Pass through the woodland and
ere and there we find traces of

nerring indications, but it is gone
ow because there are no more logs

'hurch people and young people

generation can prevent them from
patronizing the saloon. The old
soaks have given their all, and if
new business is cut off the saloon
must die for want of patronage.
Continual arguments and plead
ings viii accomplish the end.
Societies must work continuously.
Talk is not enough. Religious
people must work at it. Work for
the saving of the young, of the
grown up and the saloon-keepor
himself. The continuous work of
the righteous directed by the will
of God can not be resisted.
Once a little boy, an inmate of
an orphans asylum, said to the
great Spurgeon: dispose you were
in here, your father and mother
were both dead, no one to give to
you, and 'spose you could see other
little boys here whose father and
mother were also dead, but who
had uncles and aunts to give them
fruits and other nice things,
wouldn't that make you feel bad?
Cause that's me-"
1t was enough, the pleading
brought the gift. So it must be
with christian people. Work at it
plead with the boys. Starve the
saloon.

RETIRES.

Judge Cooper by expiration oil
his term, virtually retires from the
Circuit Court bench with the ad-
journment of the Menefee court,
For twenty years lacking seven
months he has served the people
with fairness and ability. He will
return to the practice Of his pro-
fession, the law, better equipped
for the practice than when he went
to the bench and we predict for
him remunerative patronage. He
will practice from Mt. Sterling
where he will have his office and
possibly much Of his time will be
taken up in the higher courts. AS
a Judge he has been one of the
hardest and most constant work
ers; he found the dockets full with
continued cases and his first in
struction to attorneys and clients
was: "You must get ready for
trial, am going to clear these

The Christian Standard pro
pounds this question of vital inter
est and we quote it that the fathers
and mothers of our community
may go to thinking along this line.
''If the Bible is excluded from
the public school, if parents neg
lect religious instruction and Bible
reading and explanation at home,
if the total amount Of religious
training is that Of the half hour at

women of the next generation2"
Think fathers and mothers and
not oily resolve but gather your
children and those Of your friends
into the Sunday school where the
word is explained, and then urge
upon your trustees in every pub
lie school the good that will come
from daily reading and meditat-
ing on Gods word.

dockets. They knew he was in
earnest and in a short while his
dockets were clean. One remark
he made from the bench will long
be remembered: "If lawyers
would labor as hard to prepare for
trials as for continuances there
would be no crowded dockets. ="
AS Judge Cooper worked on the
bench so will he work for his
clients and bring success.

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

One of the last public utterances
OF Gov. Beckham was, 1--WE have
had too much politics and now
since the campaign has closed it

emphasize this wise and timely
utterance. The country prospers
when the people work, not by
spurts, but all the time. For a
period Of months they have been
wrought up on State issues and in
this way much time has been TAX
