Truth: Somebody who can split hairs
may draw for us the moral distinction
between the ungodly man who runs the
saloon and the cody man who votes
for either party of saloon perpetuation.
California Voice: Let us not take sides
in the struggle between the various can

worthy or unworthy. We are building

icy into law, and not making political
crazy quilt.
Kansas Prohibitionist: The Prohibition
party stands exactly on the platform of
the evangelical churches. If the party is
wrong, the churches are wrong. If the
party is right, how about those fellows
who attend Sunday school and prayer
meeting and vote the other way?
Citizen: If bishop ought not to dedi-
cate a saloon, ought any Christian to vote
for it? If minister's robes are fouled,
when they become saloons advertise
ment, what happens to a layman's ballot
when it becomes the saloons support?
This is kindly uttered, but, before God,
it is serious.
Kansas City Leader: 1t is plain to any
one that there is practically no difference
between the old parties, as far as prin-
ciple is concerned. The bone of conten-
ton is the officers; when one party Is in
the other wants to get in, and that is all
there is of it. Will the intelligent people
continue to allow themselves used for

let it be known that the Prohibition

There are now enough or nearly
enough enemies of the liquor traffic in

Prohibition Candidate for President.

Yet it is neither to our liking nor
exactly in our line to make criticisms
of this character. 1t is rather a part
of the avowed policy of the Anti-Sa-

unworthy men Of whatever party,
That society has here a fruitful field

We oppose the election Of Mr.. Dunn,
not so much because of his personal
character and habits, as because he
represents a party which practices a
let-alone policy regarding the liquor
traffic; that is, party which perpet-
yates the saloon. For the same rea-
son we as earnestly oppose the cleo
ton of his Democratic rival, Mr.. John
son. We likewise support Swallow
and Carroll rather than Roosevelt and
Fairbanks or Parker and Davis, not
because those candidates are not rep
utable gentlemen and trustworthy pa
triots; not because the general inter
ests of the nation would not be safe
in their hands; but because we believe
that the saloon should be Immediately
suppressed and that such suppression
is the greatest and most pressing need
of the nation and because THESE

NEITHER Do THEIR PARTIES.

BEGIN THIS YEAR.

: Don't say "Not this year; some other
time" If you are ever going to hit
the saloon blow with your ballot,
do it now. You will probably never
get chance to hit it so hard blow
as this year. When the movement
has swelled to larger proportions,
your vote will count one-and no mere.
Cast now, it will, with the three hun
dred thousand or more cast by others,
aid in ushering in the advent of the
seven or eight or more million votes
which are surely coming. Divide this
larger figure by the smaller and the
quotient will be approximately the
number which your vote cast this year
for the Prohibition party will really
count.

IsIT A VITAL QUESTION?

strained to keep silent on any vital

mind of the President. 1t must be
confessed that they have not improved
their opportunity. They have notably
failed to speak out at the ballot box,
where American freemen are supposed
to ask and order of their servants
what they want.
The individual citizen cannot evade
his responsibility in this matter. God
and his country have placed ballot
in his hands with which to execute
his will on what he considers vital"
It is his duty to use it in aiding to
enact good measures and to inaugurate
good policies and to defeat bad ones.
With it he should aid in dethroning
one party and enthroning another for
the public good. With it he can help
to make the conditions which surround
his fellowmen vastly better or vastly
worse. With it he can cause Office
holders constituencies politi-
cians-to think, and to consider issues
vital" to which they had previously
given no attention.
So we do not hold the Republican
party as an organization-event though
it has been in power for generation
wholly responsible for saloon per-
petuation. Still less do we hold Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the Republican
Presidents who have preceded him
wholly responsible. Upon the voters
in that party who have endorsed the
wrong doing of these officials with
their ballots must the larger respon-
sibility rest. 1t must rest upon the
individual Republican, who, hating
the saloon with an utter hatred, has
nevertheless perpetuated it by sup
porting party which, when in power,
has given it permission to live. That
voter may have defended his course to
himself by the consideration that, be-
ing only one, he could accomplish lit.
tie. But so may the President say: Il
cannot fight this battle alone My
party has chosen to take no part in it.
I am it's representative. I must stand
on it's platform and do it's work along
the lines which it has laid down."
Let us hear the conclusion of the
whole matter. If the enemies of the
saloon desire that the saloon issue
shall be considered vital by the leg
islators and executives who hold it's
life in their hands, they should vote
with party which dares to array
itself against it, one which considers
its suppression vital" to the nations
