lie questions, whether he be on the win
ming or losing side.
Kansas Prohibitionst: One Of the hard
est things in our party work is to get our
people to understand that after we have
spent time, money and effort to make
votes that we absolutely owe it to the
cause to see that those votes are counted.
The Standard: Although the Prohibi-
ZIONIST is not yet electing presidents it IS
offer in each campaign to the Judgment
and patriotism of the American people
platform whose first and Characteristic
plank is the suppression Of the liquor
traffic.
Defender: We are forced to confess
that we have not yet more than half
bombarded the political conscience. We
have assaulted the religious conscience
in great shape but have produced very
little impression. To-day ought to be-
gin a four years assault on the political
Judgment and conscience in an effort to
convince them Of the utter futility Of
getting rid Of the liquor traffic outside Of
politics, and party politics at that.

on the saloon issue and the continu-
ance of the saloon. They voted for

Why this silence of the man of the
White House whom millions Of Ameri-
can people Of all parties admire as a
man of high character and moral cour-
age? Two reasons:
First, it requires bigger and a
drawer man to fight the liquor traffic
than to oppose the trusts or any other
evil, provided he has anything to lose.
This is why, despite the intense and
widespread hatred Of the saloon now
existing, hardly single ofice-holder
or office-seeker of prominence In the
land is arrayed against the saloon. 1t
would be an evidence of insanity not
to suppose that thousands of these
recognize the enormity of the evil.
They are silent. not because of the
triviality of the issue, but because OF
it's importance-to their interests; be-
cause Of the effect which their out
spokenness would have on their politi-
cal ambitions.
The President remains silent, Sec
ondly, because he was not elected to
speak. The platform upon which he
stood was silent as the platform Of
any body Of liquor dealers on the burn
ing issue of the hour. The party
which nominated him has not been &C
customed to speak out upon the saloon
issue. Time and again it has even
nominated prominent champions Of the
liquor interests for high Office and ha-
bitually solicits and receives campaign
funds from them in return for the pro-
lection which they desire and secure
at it's hands. The millions who raised
the President to power did not raise
the liquor issue In any way In casting
their ballots. All votes given to Mr..
Roosevelt looked exactly alike when
in the bal1ot-box, whether cast by bish-
ops or brewers, deacons or distillers,

Editorial.

If your friend or neighbor did not
vote the Prohibition ticket last month,
make it easier, not harder, for him to
vote with you hereafter.
Did not He whose birthday we cele-
brate this month make sacrifice for
us sufficient to induce us to forego the
privileges of the band-wagon?
One of these days your ballot will
not count except to swell our major
ity. If the Prohibition party la right,
give it your support and do 1t how.
Should Christian sustain polit-
ical party committed to the license
policy? Are not the Republican and
Democratic parties squarely commit
ted to the license policy their rec
ords and by the known position Of
most of their candidates and often by
their declarations? Are you Chris
tan?
Will you sustain either of these
parties with your ballot?
Can a party in which manly Chris
tian opposition to corrupt and dan
gerous traffic is a bar to promotion be
consistently supported by Christian
voter? Are those who fight the saloon
promoted in the Republican or Demo
cratic party? Can you consistently
give your support to either Of those
parties?
Christmas means poverty, sorrow,
tears and blood in the homes of an
army of the victims Of the saloon.
That saloon is as legal as the Consti-
tuition. Are you an American citizen?
Then the saloon is your saloon, unless
you condemn it with your ballot, I'M
less you vote yourself out Of partner
ship with it. What are you going to
do about It?
What attitude does love for the
Christ-child compel you to take to-
ward the saloon and its. political allies
and defenders? What was your atti-
tude on Nov. 9Th? What is it today,
as you look forward to the next time
when you shall be called upon as an
American citizen to say whether the
saloon shall live or die?
Let us celebrate the earthly birthday
Of Jesus by thinking the thoughts,
cherishing the feelings, speaking the
words, doing the deeds and forming
the purposes which would please Him.

yes, vow, that no party not openly
arrayed against the saloon shall here
after receive the encouragemento of our
ballot?
A Prohibition ballot would have been
a Christmas gift to every child in Amer
lea, since the saloon is the children's
worst enemy. So great an opportunity
to do good and to infuse gladness into
human hearts and lives will not be
within our reach during the holidays,
no matter how literally disposed we
may be. Cheap sympathy, old clothes
and ten cent toys once year are a
poor substitute for the protection
which our ballot should give to
Christ's little ones. If you did not cast
such an one, you might now send a
Christmas dinner to some family made
destitute by the saloon, the saloon per-
petuated by your party and ballot. But
a firm resolution never again to give
your ballot to license party would
make excellent sauce for the turkey.
THE PRESIDENT STILL SILENT.
For some years we have been accus-
toned to "hold the forms" of our De-
cember number and to reserve space
for such communications or recon-
mendations on the prohibition question
as the President should see fit to make
in his Message to Congress. No use
has been made of this space hereto
fore and President Roosevelt, while
occupying several columns to express
his views and make his recommends
lions on other matters, preserves this
year the silence of the preceding years
of his administration. The Message
contained nothing on the tariff ques-
ton; why, the politicians are trying
to determine. He may prepare spe-
cial message on that subject and while
he has his strenuous hand in on special
messages, who knows but he may fire
a prohibition bomb into the camp?
We are not expressing any fears or
hope of any such occurrence. We
simply say, who knows? At this writ
ing, however, the only recommendation
on the subject which has been made
by the soldier who feared not the
bristling bayonets of San Juan hill is
in the same language as heretofore,

Mrs j d. Ross, and her son, John,
of Oak Park, H., and her daughter,
Mrs. w. A. Morey, of Minneapolis, and
chauffeur arrived at Schotield, Wednes-
day in an automobile, on visit with
Mrs Mathew Mccullough, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. ID. Ross. They left
Chicago the Monday previous in a
touring car of 30 horse power, and the
time made is considered very fast con
sidering the fact that they were un-
acquainted with the roads On Thurs
day they came to Wausau oD visit
with former neighbors and acquaint-
ances.
Thursday evening while the party
was going down Third street little
boy, Willie Fitzgerald, son of MIR. and
Mrs Thos. Fitzgerald, who recently
came here from Marshfield, was struck
by the machine and badly frightened
though but slightly injured. Just as
the automobile came down the street
the little fellows hat was blown out
into The thoroughfare and in running
after it he was struck. The Chauffeur
saw the danger the boy was in and re-
versed the lever so that when the boy
was hit the machines speed had been
greatly reduced. The young fellow
was taken into the office of DR.. w. e.
Dickens. 1t was found that though his
leg was injured there were no bones
broken and he has been able to be
around ever since.
The party will visit in this section for
ten days and then go to the Worlds fair
and then to California, expecting to
spend about eighteen months in travel
with the car. This touring car is one
of the mostexpensive and finely finished
made. 1t is built very strong and will
seat five persons. Unlike other ma
chimes it is noseless. 1t has receptacles
for the carrying of repair tools, lunch,
etc, and is built for comfort.
