PROHIBITION vs.. ANTI SALOON
METHODS

Rev. Hall, the agent of the
Anti-Saloon League of South
Dakota, who lectured here last
week, did not exactly convince
The Press that the methods Of the
league were to be preferred as bet
ter than those of the Prohibition
party. His lectures were full of
assertions that the saloon was al
ways and everywhere law break
er; and this he applied to drug
stores which sell it without a
license as we'll as to the bootleg
ger.
The Press is predisposed to favor
the democratic doctrine of "per-
sonal liberty;' that is to say that,
in a state having license laws, a
man or woman has Il right to
drink if they want to. In such a
case the question of their right to
drink is not political issue. But
when the liquor power-which can
be none other than MEN who aid
and encourage the traffic in intoxi-
eating beverages-is admitted to
no ~ loxy brooE Eor +ho,, thu o,,1,,
remedy to a decent and self-re-
specting voter is Prohibition.
And the Prohibition party be-
lieves in the Abraham Lincoln
kind, viz: that saloons and blind
pigs shall go into some other bust
ness, by the signatures of the
President and governors of these
United States of America!

The Legend of St. Denis.

st. Denis was a wanderer in the
wilds of the Thessalonian forests for
the space of seven years. The strange
foods that he ate and the constant
companionship of nothing but beasts
and birds had a startling effect. His
fingers grew claws, and his hair be-
came rs the fine feathers Of an eagles
neck and breast. Finally, when near
ly heartbroken by the changes that his
wild life was making in body and
mind, he wandered over to fine look
ing mulberry tree and ate heartily Of
the fruit. The tree was enchanted,
and partaking Of its fruit brought a
change more terrible than all his other
transforamtions-he lost every SEM
blance to man, instantly changing
his shape and likeness to those of a
deer. He lay down under tree and
bemoaned his fate in these words: II
was of late a man, but now a horned
beast; l was a soldier, but now a prey
for dogs. My bed of down 1 must
exchange for moss, and musick for
hewleing windes." While thus lament
ing his fate the tree spoke to him In
words Of cheer, informing him that in
seven years he would be a man again,
"which," the account says, did truly
come to pass" .

AS long as politics controls parties and
parties rule the country, how can labor
stay out of politics and amount to
anything as force for its own welfare :?
Labor has the votes, but it allows the
politicians to split them wide apart and
set brother against brother and neither
ever wins. The politicians get all the
benefit.
