OBJECTS AND AIMS
 OF THE --- PROHIBITIONISTS.

By contract with the editor of the Newport Independent this column and perhaps one other Will De devoted to the interest of prohibition for the next three or four months. Original and SC. lected matter will be furnished from different sources and any lrieno or temperance or prohibi- ton in Jackson county is re- quested to send in items of in. terest from time to time.
 The recent prohibition convep ton at Indianapolis was charae terized by an enthusiasm born q strong faith in the ultimate tri unlph of.the principles they ad vocate. "

WHO GETS MOCHA COFFEE |?
Most of It Taken by sheiks and Gov. ernors of Arahia--Little Is
 Ever Exported.

NI don't believe there is a
 pound of genuine Mocha coffee on
 this continent" MT. c. T. Hilli
 glas, a coffee merchant, infor1fis me, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe Democrat, Cor that POO peo- pie in this country have ever tast ed it, unless they have at some time visited Arabia and drunk it at the table of some sheik or gov ernOr.
 'The true Mocha is the finest coffee grown; it has a delicious fla vor that makes it as superior to the very best of other brands as silk is superior to cotton, but the crop is extremely limited, and hardly ever more than satisfies purely local demands. Some Arabian coffee may find its way to this country; it.may even be called Mocha, but it is not the real arti- cle, am sure, and none of US has ever had it here, though we get the best of other brands that are grown in Ceylon and Java, and that means some mighty fine cuf- fee. It is not Mocha, however, for the whole of the true Mocha crop each year wouldn't supply the cof. fee demands of one ward in St. Louis alone for a period of six months. The best and plunRpest berries of the Mocha growth, those with the most exquisite flavor, are eagerly taken by the governors and sheiks in the vicinity, and they have to get their orders in in advance, SD that they may be sure of their annnal sup. ply. The second-grade berries gui to the wealthier citizens, not of the governing class, and the third or poorest, grade of berries, which are not much superior to the best 1axa cDfeR, ara sold fn fhp rmuph& and the demand invariably ex- ceeds the supply.
 "Sometimes a few pounds of this cheapest grade of Mocha finds It's way to Cnnstantfnopin. but 1t | is very, very seldom, and I don't 1 believe an onnce of 1t has ever got any further west than that. lore. sume that if, by some hook OF crook. a pound of the real plump | berried Mocha were landed in this 1 country it would sell for price l that even Rockefeller might he's itate to pay. We get the best cof- Tee grown, apart from the Mocha, but the local conditions which pre-. vail where that cnffee is raised prevent us from obtaining any, and I hardly think the real tfifng will ever be found in our markets.D

 THE PLATFORM ADOPTED.
 The folh,ving ls the platform adopted:
 The Prohibit tn party, ir
 national convent ion aassembled
 at Indianapolis S,lne 30, 1903,
 recognizing that. the chief end Of all government is the estab-
 llshment of those principles of righteousness and justice that
 nave been revealed to man as
 the Will of the ever-living God, ahu desiring this blessing Or our natTonal life, and Thelieving IT the perpHuation of the high loeals ot government of the people, by the people and for the people, established by our fathers, makes Ethe following declaration : of principles and purposes:
 I. The widely prevailing sys- tenn of the licensed t.sand legal lzed sale of alcoholic: beverages IS so ruinous to individual in- terests. so inimical to public welfare, so destructive to nation al wealth and so subversive to the rights of great masses of our citizenship, that the destruction of the traffic is and for years has been the most important ques- ton m American politics.
 2syWe denounce the lack of statesmanship exhibited by the leaders of the Democratic and Republican parties in their re- fusal to recognize the para mount importance of this oues- tion and the cowardice with which the leaders of these par ties have courted the favor of those whose selfish interests are advanced by theIscontinuation and augmentation of the traffic. until today the influence of the liquor traffic practically domi- hates national, state. and local government throughout the nation. ssaa;sssssgsayss
 TO WIPE OUT LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
 >.3. We declare the truth. demonstrated by the experience of half a century, that all meth ods of dealing with the liquor traffic which recognize it's right to exist in any form, under any. system of license or tax or regu- !ation, have proved powerless to remove it's evils and useless aS checks on it's growth, while the insignificant public cssss..revenues E. which have accrued therefrom have scared the public conscience against a recognition of it's in- iquity.
 "A. We call public attention to the fact, proved by the. expe- rience of more than 50 years. tn t to secure the enactment and enforcement of prohibitory legis- lation, in which alone lies hope of the protection of the people from tl.e liquor traffic, it is nec- essary that the legislative, exec utive and judicial branches of the Government should be in the hands of a political party in har- mony with the prohibition prin- ciple and pledged to it's embodi- ment in laws and to the execu- tion of those laws.
 $. We pledge the Prohibition
 party, wherever given power by
 the suffrage of the people, to the
 enactment and enforcen1ent of laws prohibiting and abolishing the manufacture, importation, l transportation, and sale of al- |
