ment.

A fair sized crowd was present in
Simpson NJ. E. church, Saturday
night. at the meeting addressed iby
Rev. Silas O. Swallow of Harrisburg,
Pa, the Prohibition party's nominee
for the presidency of the United
States, and Volney B. Cushing. 'The
Silver Tongued Orator Of Maine. =
Seated on the platform with the
speakers were Rev. s. 7. jackson, OF
Simpson NJ. E. church, and ]. M.
Derby, of this city, chairman of the
meeting.
Mr.. Derby said that he considered
ii an honor to have man of DR..
Swallow s type speak in this city. HeS
said that he has known DR.. Swallow
for more than thirty years, and that
40 man in Pennsylvania is more loved
for the work he has done against the
liquor traffic, nor more hated by the
liquor sellers, than DR.. Swallow.
Mr.. DERBY Stated that although the
meeting was, in form. political
meeting. 1t is usual for DR.. sxpfse
to ppen.his meetings with nf,s
Mr.. Jackson then offered prayer.
Mr.. Derby spoke very highly Of
DR.. Swallow, and said that his name
will go upon the scroll of fame along
with the noble and prominent men Of
our time. He introduced him as
" Pennsylvania Fighting Farsou. I"
DR.. Swallow was greeted wit land
olapping. He is very tall iua of
strong appearance. and has gray
beard. He is editor of The Psnnsyl-
vania Methodist and superintendent
of the Methodist Book Concern for
GENITAL Pennsylvania. He has occupied
both positions for more than ten years.
DR.. Swallow said that he objects to
tho appellation of Fighting Parson,
ms he claims to be good -natured. and
not inclined to fight. He said that
he found himself somewhat handi.
capped by the fact that the meeting
was held in church.
He declared that it was not his in
tention TO speak against the Republic
cans or the Democrats. II will not
run down the Republicans, he de-
clared, "for the Democrats can do
that. Neither will run down the
DEM is, for the Republicans can do
that.
He expressed it as his hope to one
day see the liquor traffic stamped out
At the present." he continued, the
liquor dealers are our agents, your
agents, my agents and the govern
ment's agents. The liquor men offered
to pay tax. so that they would thus
secure the protection of the govern.
ment and place the government under
certain obligations to them. Go into
any saloon, barroom or liquor store,
here in Perth Amboy or anywhere
else, and you will find the govern
ment's written authorization displayed
in conspicuous place.
Nor is the liquor traffic our only
Issue in this campaign. You will find
that our platform also takes up civil
service reform. 1t l had my way,
Mormonisrn would not exist. No man
should have more than one wife at the
same time. If God had intended that
one man should have ten or twenty
wives, ho would have seen to it that
ten or twenty women we're brought
into the world, as against one man.

The Illinois game commissioners
receipts from fees and fines this year
will amount to 100000. The passage
of the present game law IN that state
made possible the creation of a fund
out Of which the game commissioner
could employ men to create respect
forthe law and insure proper protec-
tion for the game. No one is per-
mitted to hunt without a license, the
cost of which is 81 a year, and the
fees collected show that there are
$4,000 hunters in the state. With
the fund thus created the game
Wardens were able to do effective
work. A similar law should be enact
ed in South Dakota before it is too
late to accomplish anything. 1t is
useless to expect any reasonable pro-
tcetten OF game and fish when game
Wardens have no incentive to enforce
the law. They should be paid for
their services.

The Frankfort Messenger announc.
ed last week that it had been refused
considerable advertising from other
towns from merchants who desired to
let people know that they had Christ
mas goods for sale "But we refused
Them" says the Messenger, ''as we
believe the home merchants are of
such a disposition us to support a
home paper, but our columns, never.
theless, are shy on Christmas adyer-
tising." When Jay Jackson has been
in the business as long as some of us
he'll discover that such a procedure
will bring him neither friends nor
patronage. The merchant who
reads his bid for home patronage will
set him down as an easy mark to be
worked to the limit. The home
merchant never refuses any business
that comes to him from an adjoining
.town-why should the newspaper?
Business men as a rule are level headed
and respect manly independence and
far more likely to patronize a news
paper run on straight business lines
than one with a m%apy-rampy editor
ready to lick their feet.
