THE NATIONAL HOLOCAUST.

The nation has rarely been shocked
as when the wires brought the news
of the awful disaster at the Iro-
quois Theatre, Chicago. Yet the
saloons of the nation duplicate it's
terrible death loss three times every
week.
Nor is the suffering attending the
deaths in the two cases to be COM
pared. In the one it was sudden and
in many cases probably almost pain
less. The other is a prolonged, liv-
ing death, accompanied by years Of
helpless struggle and by indescrib-
able anguish of mind and deep dis
grace both to the sufferer and his
friends.
The Chicago horror is already work
ing thorough-going reform in Chicago
and many other auditoriums through
out the land. But the national crime
is defended or let alone by the great
majority of our lawmakers. If the
people want this carnage to cease,
they must turn out of Office the men
and parties which countenance it.
And they will.
Backbone. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. ;) 1897-1906, 1904-01-01

Our ambition in that direction will
not be realized until Prohibitionists
are the most persistent users of liter
ature in the field of philanthropy or
politics. A good place to begin cat
is to never allow page of Prohibi-
ton literature to be wasted or get
worn or dirty or yellow or out-of-date.
1t greatly enhances the value of our
reading matter if items and articles
of special interest are marked before
they are passed along.

and see how many prominent or in
fluential office-holders, ofice-seekers
or managers you can count in the
Republican party in state or nation
who are working to commit the party
in opposition to the saloon. We men,
ton this matter in order to aid in
undeceiving, if we can, those who do
not yet know-or at least act as
though they knew-that the Repub-
liccan party, like it's Democratic rival,
is bound hand-and-foot to the saloon
system. What then? Why, nothing
to those who care more for party
than for their country's honor or for
the souls of their fellowmen. But,
to our mind, it is time that citizens
of the other class-men who want
prohibition and want it badly-should
go where they keep it; that is, should
leave the old parties, bag and bag
gage, instanter, and join the Prohibf-
ton party and go to work to put it in
power.

FAITHFUL OFFICIAL REWARDED.

State Secretary Calderwood and
wife invited score or more Twin
City Prohibitionists to house-warm-
ing at their new home on New Years
evening. Some of his comrades took
the liberty of increasing the number
materially and in the midst of the
program Chairman Higgins, in feel
ing words, presented the Woodworking
secretary with $1,000 which his COM
rades throughout the state had con-
tributed toward the cost Of his new
home, in token of their appreciation
of his untiring and self-sacriicing
labors. In his reply Secretary Calder
wood declared he was no martyr. He
said there were other than monetary
considerations. He remained at the
post to which his fellow-workers had
assigned him because he was happier
there than he would be in any mere
money-making avocation. There were
a few brief speeches. Dorsett served
refreshments.
