Duns S Review says not in twenty
years has it cost so much to live as
now. The increase is figured at 80
per cent. in less than seven years.
Bradstreets report also comments
on the increased cost Of living. THIS
increase indicates the power of trusts

while member of the Legislature.
He was appointed United States dis
trict judge by President Cleveland, +,
September +, 1886, and several years
later was made Federal circuit judge,

Charles w. Dorsett is the name Of the
Prohibition candidate for governor Of
Minnesota, and Backbone, the official or
gan OF that party, suggestively asks:
bet your blue ribbon that it won't be
Dorsett.-St Cloud Journal Press.
No, not if business men continue to
vote for those who, If elected, would
give a new lease of life to that So
called business" which preys upon
and lives upon every legitimate bust
ness and industry. Not if patriots
vote for those who would legalize the
greatest corrupter of the purity of the
ballot box. Not if temperance men
vote for boozers, Christian men for
foul-mouthed blasphemers and loving
fathers for the candidates of parties
which license pitfalls in the pathway
of their boys and their neighbors'
boys.
But suppose these classes should
this year conclude to support at the
ballot box only men of principle, who
stand for the church, the home, polit
ical purity and true prosperity and for
all that is right and against all those
candidates and parties which either
openly defend the wrong or are silent
regarding it. What then?
We are not able to promise such a
revolution this year, but neither is the
Journal Press able to state that just
such revolution will NOT take place
this year. Stranger things have hap
pened.

joy the same privileges in some form.
If it be true, however, as asserted by
this class of reformers, that "the real
attraction of the saloon is not drink,
but sociability," one would expect
that the proposed offset to the saloon
would be a place where sociability
reigns, but from which intoxicants
are excluded. Prohibitionists would
aid and are aiding such institutions.
It is strange, too, that the Tavern
neither encourages nor permits hard
working women and girls to restore
their tagging energies after a hard
days work with anything stronger
than beer, while their brothers and
husbands may order what they will.
On the whole the Tavern will teach
some valuable lessons or enforce some
old ones and we predict that they will
not be very unlike the conclusions
reached long ago by the most radical
prohibitionists.

1T is WAR NOW.

Don't fool yourself with the idea
that the Prohibition party is out on
dress parade this year. This is a
real battle. Solid and steady prog
ress is being made on all hands. Hate
for the saloon is increasing: The
arguments of the opposition are los
ing their influence upon the minds of
thoughtful citizens. 1t is becoming
clearer and clearer that there is no
hope in the direction of either of the
old parties. The Prohibition party's
platform is as sound as live oak. It
covers wisely and practically every
issue of the hour. Its candidates are
not only men of the highest character,
but also men well qualified for the
Offices for which they are nominated.
Nothing but votes are needed in or
der to make the saloon a mere matter
of history and the votes are coming.
The indications are that many thou
sands of them will come this year. We
repeat it, this is fight, a war, a
fight to the finish, war to the bitter
end. The saloon must die. It lives
at the ballot-box. There it must die.
1t ought to die this year. It may. If
it does not, it ought not to be be-
cause you are looking for safer posi-
ton from which to fight or bigger
army with which to fight or a day
somewhat nearer the victory before
beginning your part of the fight.

EDITORIAL.

Our State and National platforms
are giving splendid satisfaction on all
hands. We are sorry that they are
crowded out of this issue. We hope
to find place for one or both of them
in our next.
Does political party that dare not
defy the saloon deserve the support
of Christian? Does either the Re-
publican or Democratic party defy the
saloon? Does either deserve your
ballot? Will either receive it?
Six presidential tickets are now in
the field. Only one of these recog-
nizes the greatest issue in American
politics, the outlawry Of the saloon.
Which of these parties deserves your
ballot? Which will receive it?
Suffrage sentiment is growing. One
indication of it is that none of the
Southern delegations to the National
Prohibition convention raised word
of objection to any portion Of the
platform which was reported unani-
mously from the committee and adopt
ed unanimously by the convention.
One plank declares, "The right of
suffrage should depend upon the men
tai and moral qualifications of the
citizen"
The Prohibition party appreciates
the God-bless-you's of it's numerous
well wishers. But it is votes we are
after this time. Kindly feelings are
well enough in their way, but we
would willingly exchange a hay-rack
load of them for one ballot. Come,
now. Put your ballot this year where
1t belongs, in support of the only par
ty which holds with you that the
supreme issue in American politics is
the overthrow Of the saloon and that
that question will remain the supreme
issue until settled and settled rightly.

BISHOP PoTTER's SALOON.

Widespread interest attaches to
the establishment in New York City of
a saloon under reform" auspices. The
announced purpose is to serve pure
liquors and foods at a low price I'M
der the best moral conditions. Bishop
Potter was one of the speakers at the
opening and declared that the key
note had been struck. The exercises
closed with the singing of the Dox-
ology.
The Subway Tavern, as the new
saloon is called, is an attractive place.
decorated with paintings and plants
and supplied with the daily papers and
magazines. In the front room there
is a handsome soda fountain, where
beer is also freely dispensed to men
and women alike. In the back room
there is long bar, free-lunch
counter, a number of small tables and
a monograph. Women are not ad-
mitted to this room. The manage
ment prefer that there should be no
treating, but will not assume to die
tate in this matter. The barkeeper
will not be allowed to "set 'em up"
and no liquor will be sold to intoxi-
Gated persons.
The place is paying so we'll already
that .rathskeller will be opened in
the basement. Working girls and
well dressed women are patronizing
it. One woman with baby in her
arms said in the hearing Of a re-
porter 81 like to come here and get
a glass of beer. No one stares or
says anything about it but long-faced
men, who don't belong down here"
The same news dispatch says that
four out of five of the girls who attend
the place from a big factory across
the way order beer and many men
bring their wives. The manager says
that he considers beer as harmless as
soda water.
The general trend of comment is
adverse. Six ministers and six sa-
loonkeepers interviewed by the Min
neapolis Daily News agree in con-
demning the venture. The ministers
think it moral disgrace. The sa-
loonkeepers say it will not pay finan-
cially.
We are glad to see the experiment
made. We have little doubt as to the
outcome. It is logical consequence
of the position of such men as Bishop
Potter, who defend and practice mod
crate drinking" Bishop Potter says
he belongs to nearly dozen clubs
and that the working man should en-

WHY NOT THIS YEAR?

DR.. Swallow, in his speech of &C.
ceptance of the nomination for Presi
dent, declared that he was not at al
sure of defeat. This was not a bluff
as no one who knows DR.. Swallow
need be assured. It was rather a
compliment to the citizens and espe-
cially to the Christian citizens of the
land. Our great-hearted leader knows
that some day a majority of the voters
of the land will deposit their ballots
for the party pledged to carry out
their opposition to the saloon. He
has hoped and labored and prayed to
that end for years. He hopes and Ia
bors and prays that it may take place
this year and, being man of faith
both in God and man, he will not be
surprised if his hopes shall be realized
and his prayers answered this year.
Why should they not be? There is
the saloon; it ought to die and die at
once. Here are the ballots; the thun-
der and lightning of heaven is in
them. Here, also, are the voters, mil
lions of them, who hate the saloon as
they hate the devil and these ballots
are their ballots placed in their hands
by God and their country for just such
purposes as the pulverization of the
saloon. The old parties neither can
nor will take up this ISSUE The moral
and Christian voters in their ranks
know it. They know about the Pro
hibition party and the kind of stuff
of which it is made. They know that
it's success means the death of the
saloon. Millions of votes, we say, are
in their hands, one vote in each mans
hand. They will cast them for some
party, either one which represents
their convictions on this burning is
sue or one which fails to do so. Why
should they not stand by the party
which champions all that they hold
dear? Why should they not give it
the support of their ballots and do so
this year? Why should it be thought
a thing incredible that the great
Christian church and the great body
of law-abiding and saloon-hating citi-
zens outside of it's membership should
do the wise and practical thing this
year of voting themselves out of part
nership with the saloon? What is
strange about the idea that these
clean and honorable citizens should
this year put into the ballot-box their
condemnation of the political parties
which stand in with the saloon? What
is there unthinkable in the idea that
such defenders of our country's best
should this year vote their heartiest
approval Of the political party which
is willing to live or die on it's de-
mand that the saloon must die; or
that the one brave and clean party
which asks and pleads for power in
order that it may give the saloon its
death blow should receive that power
this year at the hands of those whose
sympathies are with its high and holy
mission, but whose ballots have thus
far been withheld from it?

1t is safe to say that Methodism can
control at least two million votes, while
all churches unitedly have command Of
