ANCE VIEWS,

This legalized liquor traffic az car
ried on in the saloons and gong shops
is the great tragedy of civilization.
The saloon has proved itself to be the
greatest foe, the most bllghtine curse
that has ever found . home Ia our mod

why | am political prohibitionist.
Prohibition brings the desired result
1t suppresses the saloon by law. It
stamps and brands the ssloonkeeper as
a criminal in the sight OF God and man.

The canteen stands as constant In
vitation to the total abstainer to drink,
as temptation to the moderate drink
err to drink more, and as a convenience
to the drunkard to load up on beer

this question: Is it best to keep con-

Gen. Bate carried Shelby county in
the primary Thursday by over 1900
majority, gazing II votes which assures
his re- election as senator. In view of
the fact that Memphis was considered
McMillin stronghold this is Won
derful victory for the hero of Shiloh.
A special to the Chattanooga Times
says:
''In all the county McMillin only
succeeded in carrying four precincts.
These were four wards in the city
known to be completely in control of
Mayor Williams. The contest in each
was very close, however, and Senator
Bates victory was decisive one. Eve
ry country district went solid for him,
and total of 1903 votes was all that Nc
Millin received outside of the city,
Senator Bate announced tonight that
he was now confident of reelection to
the senate. and thought that he would
have big msjority in the democratic
caucus.
The hero of Shiloh had the support
of the best citizens of the city. He was
openly supported by Senator e. W.
| Carmack, former Senator Thomas B.
Turley and many other promin ent cit
liens of the city. His victory was
simply case of the best element win
ming over the less reputable classes.
On the other hand, Mr.. McMillir
had the support of the gamblers, tbt
whisky men and the Williams admins
ton. He was on the scene in person
and conducted a hand-shaking cam
paign as if he were making the rae,
for constable, but all of the manipula
ton and all of the lew politics coulC
not secure a victory for him here"

Joseph W. Folk, a Winner.

Returns have been received from a
sufficient number Of the counties in Mis-
souri, to show that Hon. Joseph W.
Folk will be the democratic nominee
for governor of that state His victory
is as remarkable as it is encouraging to
the friends of good government. 1t is
victory that is gratifying, not only to
honest democrats, but to honest men
of all parties. tits triumph of right
eousness over wrong; of the people
over their would be bosses. It shows
what the hontst people of the country,
or of state or Of party, can do when
they determine to act.
Mr.. Folk entered the campaign with
the open opposition of Senator Stone,
of the national senate, of Governor
Dockery, of nearly, if not quits all, Of
the state officers, of the members of
the supreme court; of officials in the
cities; in short, of nearly the entire Of
fice-holding fraternity of his party in
the entire state, including state, county
and municipal officials. To overcome
all this was not an easy task. That he
did overcome it shows how the people
have been aroused, and how they have
asserted themselves.
AS we have said before, the result Of
the fight made by Folk and his friends
in the state of Missouri will bring en-
couragement to others in other states
and parties where the burden of the
yoke of bossism is worn and felt
There are times when men are opposed
to such things feel like giving up The
fight for individual freedom and goot
government; there is no state where
corrupt and tyrannical bossism has
played a higher hand than in the saatt
of Missousi. When Joseph W. Foil
entered the race for governor on hi
record as a prosecutor of official ras
Gals, many, while rejoicing in his cour
age aud his zeal, believed he was lead
ing forlorn hope. He may not have
expected to succeed in one single cam
paign himself; but he has and the vic
tory won is all the more gratifying.
Truth is mighty and will prevail. I

take fresh hope. A majority of th,
people of our country are honest
good citizens. 1t is only their indif
fernence that opens the way for tenn
porary reign of unrighteousness. Whel
things go wrong, let the people refiec
that they are in part to blame for it
they can set them right when they
