man from, as he arises in
the legislative hall and says:
Mr.. Speaker, and gentlemen of
the house, that's a ie1 But if
you will notice, his hand is laid
on his stomach instead of his
heart. With an air of self-con-
ceit. he says that he favors self
government, and with a smile of
approval on his face, he rather
boasts that all Prohibition laws
have been violated and that the
people need to be educated on
temperance. We're I sent out to
shoot the man whom I believed
competent to educate the people
on temperance, I would not pop
a cap at him. He believes in
,self-government. With his con-
sent l will ask him a question.
Sir, do you believe the adulter-
GUS liquor traffic is capable of
taking care of herself? If so,
why in the name of God are you
not willing to grant the divorce
and let the old devil go on and do
it? England's greatest States
man never said a grander thing
than when he said, IT'S the duty
of the State to make it as easy
as possible for the people to do
right, and as difficult as possible
for them to do wrong"

pie must not have the privilege
of voting on this question, but

Card Of Thanks.

It is with deep appreciation
we acknowledge the kindness and
favors of our friends and neigh
bors during the late illness of
our father, Mr.. Charles N. Ober-
schmidt. We heartily thank
everyone for any act of kindness
or word of sympathy; but to Mr..
w. P. Smith and family we are
especially graceful for favors al
most unprecedented. May Cod S
blessings be showered upon each
and every one, and in time Of sor-
row may friends as kind come to
their assistance.

!, and fellowship. We're I a liquor
dealer, I would see to it that I
would not invest my money and
whisky in men who would blush,
and with clenched fists resent it.,
when it was even intimated that
they are working in the interest
of my business.
When people marry, they take
a solemn VOW that they will live
together "after the manner of
Gods Holy ordinance" and when
one party or the other violates
this vow, they can no longer live
together in peace. The great
State of Mississippi and the
liquor traffic are married, and the
truth of the matter is, if it must
be told, the liquor traffic has
committed adultery and the
State is suing for divorce. Boot
ed and spurred, the liquor traffic,
with her masters in the saddle,
is in league with every house of
ill-fame and every other crime
committed in the State. She
says you must support and main
tain me while [ go forth murder
ing your sons and debauching
your daughters. You must sup
port me while I make widows of
your wives and orphans of your
children. You must support me
while-I kill all your preachers,
tear down your church houses
and lay my bloody hands upon
your pure women. You must
support me while I make your
children orphans and thrust
them upon the hard earnings of
Christian communities for sup
port. / build up nothing, but
tear down everything. IL I can
have my way, I will not allow a
sober man nor a pure woman to
breathe Gods air within your
borders. Your preachers may
go forth with an open Bible and a
pure gospel, your mothers may
sing their temperance songs and
pray for your sons; you may
have Prohibition mass meetings
and your temperance rallies;
your temperance people may
crowd the galleries in your
legislative halls and pray for
victory; but what care for all
this, as long as I can control GER
tain members in both houses
with my money and whisky. The
Catholics may build their Orphan
Asylum at Natchez, the Baptists
their at Jackson, the Methodist
their sat Water Valley. the Pres
lbyterians theirs at Columbus;
but all that ] propose to do for
these Christian institutions, is to
furnish them with orphans, and
this I will do as long ais money
and whisky have any control

This. in brief is what the liquor
traffic proposes to do and Is do

THE LEGISLATURE AND THE LIQUOR
TRAFFIC.

In compliance with the wishes
of the Lincoln County Baptist
Association, in which there are
about 5000 Baptists, I spent last
Monday and Tuesday in the city
of Jackson in the interest of the
bill before the legislature, the
purport of which is to submit a
constitutional amendment to the
sovereign voters of the State,
whereby they may have the blood
bought privilege of expressing
their wishes as to whether the
State shall continue as partner
in the damnable liquor traffic.
After sitting, and with some
degree of patience, listening to
the argument, pro and con, my
impressions were somewhat like
those of the Dutchman who was
elected to the Legislature, and
on his return home was asked
by one of his constituents what
were his impressions. well, :"
said he, "dere ish more foolsin
de worlt besides me-" 1t was
evident, as usual on such occas-
ions, the liquor men had not
failed to supply their representa-
tives with plenty of whisky to
back up their argument. It was
a little strange indeed, that
among the AZ who voted to take
care of the liquor traffic, there
was but one man who had the
grit to stand up and say that he
was opposed to Prohibition in all
it's qualifications. The others
were all some kind of Prohibit
ionistss so to speak. One man
who seemed to have partaken of
the liberalities of the liquor traffic
until he was almost too full for
utterance, voted, II" with very
feeble voice. Knowing him and
the noble people that he was
there to represent, I thought,
l"Old Fellow, that vote certainly
came from the region of your
heart. for evidently it did not
come from your stomach. You
are with US in heart, but your
stomach is far from us. !"
Your stomach and your heart
Are a long ways apart.
/ There is one feature of the ar.
lgument, as made by those who
were taking care of the liquor
TRAFFIC, which / think favorable
to the Prohibition cause, and thai
lis, every speaker on the negative
side, save one, considered it {
reflection If a Prohibition speaker
lintimated, that the gentleman
who.had preceded him, was /
whisky man, but no man consid
lered it a reflection to be called /
Prohibitionist. This proves con
clusively that those are ASHAMED

lbition cause is in good standing
