The deficiency estimates from naval
bureaus are larger this year than has
been the case in many years. This is
due to the economy practised at the
last session of Congress, where the APP
preparations failed to equal the esti-
mates by large amounts. while the
expenses of the naval establishment
have increased. There is a de-
ticiency of more than $1,000, 600 on the
item of the increase of the navy in the
construction bureau and the steam en-
gineering bureau. This is to meet the
outstanding charges which must be
provided for during the current fiscal
year. There is another item Of
Sc. 900 in the Bureau Of Ordnance
Most of this is for new armor. The
remainder is for ordnance stores and
supplies. Other bureaus have large
sums which will be included in the
regular deficiency bill.

THE MARRIAGE QUESTION.

wedding BELLS" was the first to start the
ball rolling. It would seem brave woman
who marries with this echo in her ears yet
we have not heard that there were fewer
marriages during the year. There are un-
happy married lives, but a large PERCENTAGE
of these unhappy homes are due to the Ill
ness of the wife. mother or daughter
During long period of practice, Doctor
Pierce found that a prescription made up
entirely of roots and herbs without the use
of alcohol cured ninety eight per cent. of
such cases. After using this remedy for
many years in his private practice he put
it up in form that can be had at any store
where medicines are handled
Backed up by over a third of century of
remarkable and uniform cures, record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro-

not cure. All they ask is fair and reason

it breeds gamblers tits to vote to
license lewdness, because it pro.
notes licentiousness; it is to vote
to legalize murder, because it is
the universally admitted source of
large majority of murders; it is
to vote to legalize every form of
vice and crime, because the pre-
ponderating evidence of the judges
of all eur courts goes TO show that
it is the direct or indirect cause of
more than three fourths of all vice
and crime.
Then, to vote to legalize the sa-
loon is to vote for legalizing organ
lied rebellion against law and order
in the midst of Christian civiliza
ton; it is to vote to erect in a
Christian county an altar to the
gods of brutality and the baser
passions, and to worship at it; it
is to vote to legalize the business of
manufacturing assassins to shoot
down, rob and despoil the inno-
cent it is TO vote to legalize the
most efficient means of converting
men and boys into brutes; it is to
vote to legalize a business theft
that will move the earth and hell
to rob every woman and child in
the land of food, clothing, happi-
ness and hope, and substitute
therefor hunger, nakedness, sorrow
and despair; and it is to vote to
legalize a business that necessarily
excludes from the church of God
here, and from God, heaven and
happiness hereafter every man who
engages in it, and murders and
damns its own friends, promoters
and patrons.
And then who is it that demands
that you legalize such a business,
and threatens to override and tram
pie under foot your laws if you do
not legalize it? Is it your preach
ers? No. Your lawyers? No.
Your doctors? No. Your mer-
chants? No. Your mechanics?
No. Your farmers? No. Your
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1904-06-22

women? No. Your children? No.
Your conscience? No. Well, who
is it? 1t is a set of outlaws COM
posed of distillers, brewers and
wholesalers, together with retailers
behind whom they stand and for
whom they endorse, all banded to-
gether and thoroughly organized
under the protective license laws of
our State and Nation, enacted by
license party politicians as compen-
sation for the liquor vote Yes,
these are the men that are saving
"license this business and thereby
make it appear respC ctable, and ac-
cept as compensation for your
moral treachery a pittance of the
proceeds, or we will over ride your
local laws and sell it anyhow" We
have the money to buy our way.
Five million dollars are now pledged
to aid in electing a President and
Congress In sympathy with us and
who will stand by our business if a
thousand wives are annually mur-
dered through its influence, three
hundred thousand more driven to
do menial service to support hus-
bands debauched by 1t, and five
hundred thousand children starve
and die from it. Nor do we or they
care how much crime and suffering
to society grows out of it. The
thing we demand is that you go to
the polls like craven towards and
by your votes lift from our should
ers the stigma of outlaws and the
consequences Of outlawry, and vote
upon yourself an equal share of the
responsibility of this business.
And if you don't do it we will run
the business anyhow.
And TO surrender to these out
laws and do their bidding for a
price is just what is INVOLVED in the
question of voting to license sa-
looms. Il exactly measures up the
greed of the voter for the nickel,
and the estimate he puts upon his
personal responsibility for aiding
in the promotion of the black list

the world and peopling hell, Which
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1904-06-22

results. To become a party to a
bad thing is TO become equally
guilty with anyone else iu what
ever is wrong or evil in the thing.
To voluntarily become guilty OF
the wrong there is in a thing for a
price is to put price on manhood
and integrity of purpose, on our
duty to wife. child, mother. sister,
brother, innocence, society and
God. and to sell out all these things
for the price stipulated. This is a
concise statement of the question
of voting to license a saloon. The
man that lie willing TO drive this
bargain will vote to license it; the
man that is not willing to drive
this bargain will vote against Ii
censing it.
But you say !; "They will sell it
anyhow, and we may as we'll license
it and get the money" Snakes will
bite people anyhow, but is that
a reason why people should license
a snake factory to raise snakes for
that purpose, provided there is a
little money in it? Malaria will
sometimes make your child sick
anyhow, but is that reason why
you should leave an intensely ma
laria producing agent at your back
door for the purpose of saving the
money necessary to remove it,
Thieves will sometimes "break
through and steal" anyhow, but is

THOUGHTS WORTHY THE
ATTENTION OF EVERY
CITIZEN.
ARE YOU SATISFIED TO BE A
PARTY TO THE CONTRACT.

The United States Supreme
Court has said, There is no great
er source of crime and suffering to
society than the dram shops" and
because of this fact "no citizeu of
e State or United States, has an in
herent right to run one" And
further, that "the granting of such
right or privilege is matter of
legislative will only" (See p. 90,
vol. 1877, United States reports
Hence the party prohibitionist in
5ists thai sucir right or privilege
ought never be granted by any
legislative body to any person;
much less the granting BY State
to evil inclined majorities in given
localities the privilege of infcting
such an evil on innocent minorities.
But wicked, unjust and oppressive
as are such laws, they have been
enacted by lawmakers of our own
choosing. Therefore we are con-
fronted with the direct question
''shall we vote to license the saloon
in our own town or community for
a price?" And as every man is re.
sponsible for the results of his acls
the proper solution of the question
rests upon what is involved in Ii
censing thing.
To license a thing is to endorse
it. and to grant ita privilege .s szs-
ist that it did not have before.
To endorse thing and voluntari
ly create such a privilege is TO be-
come a party to all of its probable

But if not, then stand by your
