LEAKED FROM THE OUTSIDE.

IT wO more residents Of the George
Il town Jail have failed to appre-
ciate the hospitality accorded them
and have left without formal adieu to
their host. After such a breach Of
good manners it would be surprising
if the sheriff should consent to re-
ceive his former guests again under
any circumstances.
This is not another case Of leak in

Declaration Of independence
From the Impending Tyranny Of the Liquor
Traffic. A Twentieth Century Document

We hold these truths to be self-eVi-
dent; that the American Home is the
citadel of American liberties; that it's
protection and preservation and the
loyal support and advancement of it's
highest and holiest influences is, and
must ever be, the first and foremost
duty of every patriot, whether states
man or private citizen; that The
American Public School is the West
Point of the people for the training Of
American youth in civic patriotism;
that whoever assails it or threatens it's
moral and intellectual ascendency is
a self-confesSed traitor to his country
and a self-evideat enemy of the re-
public; that The Christian Churches
of America and All Forms of Religious
Sentiment whose high purpose is the
inspiration of man and the uplift of
humanity, are the most precious So
cial institutions of American democra-
cy; that any organization of trade or
commerce which puts itself in oppo-
sition to these institutions, defieS their
teaching, ISLANDERS their principles, and
fosters every vice and crime in the
calendar of infamy, is moral and
political anarchist and an unmitigated
curse; and that any institution which
habitually resists all law, undermines
trade, filcheS unearned millions from
the poor, cOrruptS the electorate, har-
bors and abets the CRATER, and the
professional politician, establishes it.
self as the plague-spot in the slums
of every city, sucks the life-blood of
youth, crushes the last hope of age
and poisons the moral atmosphere of
American life with the stencil of the
bottomless pit, is an overshadowing
pestilence, and the greatest financial,
physical, and moral tyranny of the
ages, and calls in thunder tones for
vengeance and annihilation.
We therefore, patriots of the United
States of America in this one purpose
united, appealing to the Supreme
Judge of the world for the righteous
ness of our cause, do, in the name and
on behalf of countless of our fellow
citizens oppressed by, and at the
mercy of this usurper, solemnly pub
lish and declare that the people of
these United States of right ought to
be free and Independent of this tyran-
ny, and that all political and CONNER
cial connection between them and the
Liquor Traffic ought to be and shall
be totally dissolved. And in support
of this Declaration, with a firm reli-
ance on the protection of Divine Prov
idence, we mutually pledge to each
other our Lives, our Fortunes, and
our Sacred Honor.

Prohibition Party
What II Is Not and What II Is. The
Meaning OF a Ballot

The Prohibition party is not a tenn
perance society, where each member
must sign the total abstinence pledge.
There are drinking men and even
drunkards who vote the Prohibition
ticket at every election.
The Prohibition party is not re-
ligious society. Infidels have just as
much right in the party as preachers.
The Prohibition party is not bal
ance-of-power party, a mere mug
wump floating weight on the political
see-saw to- compel the election of
good men" to office.
The Prohibition party is not organic
ed to simply defeat the Republican or
Democratic parties as such.
The Prohibition party is not organ
lied to make good men by law nor to
carry on moral suasion campaign.
The Prohibition party is an organ
ization of men who believe that the
saloon is a curse to this country, and
that the saloon ought to be prohibited
by law The saloon is the enemy of
labor, of capital, of morals, of the
home, of good government, of pure
politics; in fact, the enemy of every
thing that is good.
There is only one method given us
whereby we can inform the govern
ment that we are opposed to the sa-
loon-through the ballot-bOX.
Can we do so by voting the Demo
cratic ticket? Every sane man in this
country knows that the Democratic
party stands for license first, last and
all the time. Therefore, vote for
the Democratic ticket is a vote for
license and against prohibition.
Can we express our sentiments on
the saloon question by voting the Re-
publican ticket? The Republican par
ty stands committed to the legaliza-
tion of the saloon under system of
high license. Therefore, a vote for
that party is a vote for license and for
the saloon.
But vote for the Prohibition party
is vote against the saloon every time,
and the Government is officially in
formed of the voters position.
1t is absurd for man to claim that
he favors prohibition so long as he Of
ficially tells the Government that he
is in favor of license. A man who
votes with saloon-keepers and the bit
ter opponents of prohibition is GER
tainly not Prohibitionist in any sense
of the word.
The Prohibition party welcomes in
to it's ranks all who believe that the
saloon should be abolished by law.
True Reform.

THE COLLEGIATE PRoHIHITloNIsTs

Lincoln, Neb., June %. Before an
audience of over 1000 people the winners
of eight different state contests in the
Intercollegiate Prohibition series for 1905
competed for the highest honors in the
central section of this national oratorical
movement. Minnesota was represented
by Henry G. Scholberg Of Hamline Uni
versity. In his Grafton on "Our Common
Foe' he struck squarely at the source of
the power of the liquor traffic in a graph
ic manner. First place and first prize,
$50 in cash and six months scholarship
in the OFT school of Oratory, were award
ed to w. e. Monbeck, Kansas. The sec
ond prize went to Missouri and the third
to Iowa.
On the morning following the contest
opened the Intercollegiate Prohibition
Training Conference which continued six
days. It was attended by college young
men and women who expect to make pro-
hibition a life work or will enter some
prohibition work at once. Four regular
Specialists. W. q. caIderwood conducted
the class in Organization and Methods
Quincy Lee Morrow presented Publicity
and Meetings. D. Leigh Colyin discussed
Principles and Functions of Political Par
ties. Henry S. Warner was instructor on
the Social Demands For Prohibition. On
Sunday night prominent churches heard
addresses by MeSSrS. Morrow Calderwood
and Taylor. DR.. w. +. Crafts and Virgil
G. Hinshaw also addressed public meet
ingS.

Kindred Evils
Which Bolster Each Other and Use the
Saloons TO Perpetuate Their Existence

Falls Beacon, sends editor Applegate
word of cheer in his effort to curb
the greed of railways, but warns him
that it will prove impossible to down
railroad greed without mourning the
opposition of the other greeds, "for
they all stand locked arm in arm and
their one objective is to prey upon
the common people, the producers and
consumers of the nation"
"In this state, says this cores
pondent, "the railways are piling up
net earnings of $4,000 per mile per
year, because here they make their
own rates, as against only $1,700 net
per mile in Iowa where the legislature
made the rates. This means an an
nual robbery of over $4,000 per family
per year. Then we have Lumber
combination, whose lumber costs it's
members between three and four dol
lars per thousand, while it costs you
and me, the consumers, $4,000 thous-
and feet and upwards. Our Lumber
rich rascals have, according to expert
testimony, denuded government lands
to the tune of $25,000,000 year: and
they are now allowed to tax the public
to the tune of from 500 to 1000 percent
profit on their manufactured product.
"The Beef Trust, with one set of
books for Commissioner Garfield S
government experts to examine, and
another set containing the real facts
safely concealed in safety deposit
vaults, has for years robbed producers
and consumers on an average of from
$4,000 to $4,000 per family year.
There is not a wagon, or farm imple-
ment bought but that the purchaser
pays an unjust tribute to the Steel
Trust. Congress cannot pass pure
food bill, because the adulterators OBJ
ject. Penny postage cannot be had
because, forsooth, the publishing mon
opolists object. We cannot have ef-
fective railway legislation, either state
or national, because the railways OBJ
ject.
"Our hands are tied in all the large
cities for the reason that the corpora
tions and rich rascals can with a little
money usually control enough saloon
hummer votes to elect their tools.
This entire crowd Of greedy rich and
vicious poor stand together; they are
brothers in object and efforts; they
all want something for nothing, and
a good deal of it, too: they all want
money, and some of them want, in ad-
dition, our sons and daughters. In
striking the railway robbers you hit
the entire line and have their united
opposition. But in doing this you have
sounded call to better citizenship.
The time is at hand when voters must
in self protection stand for moral
principles, and elect to office only men
of known good moral character and
positive virtue, who are awake to these
grievous moral wrongs, and who when
elected will have the ability to do
something effective and not be brow
beaten and deceived by political trait
ors and rich rascal corporations"

Read what the Dixon Star says of a
meeting last week:
.Thirty-fi hundred people heard
Mr.. Sunday on Impure Amusements"
Friday night. 1t is conservatively es-
timnted that 1900 people were turned
away Had It been possible to have an
auditorium that woul1 accommodate
10, 900, and the fact have been pub
lished. there is no doubt that it would
have been crowded to standing room.
"An excursion from Dekalb brought
over 300 people, but they arrived after
0 o'clock and were unable to gain ad-
mittance. Three interurban cars
brought scores OF Sterling visitors, but
they were likewise disappointed. The
tabernacle was filled at O'Clock and
the streets were crowded with people
who were turned away by the hun
dreds. For an hour the throng OF hr-
manity surged back and forth about
the entrance.
MANY OF those who composed the
congregation for the afternoon meeting
remained at the tabernacle so as TO be
assured Of seats for the night meeting
Many took lunches with them. From
O'Clock on until the huge structure
was filed there was a continuous stream
oi arrivals to hear the evangelist's
greatest sermon. Every available
space in the building was crowded, ev-
en- the rostrum and side aisles. The
revivslist spoke for two hours and TWEEN
y-five minutes, his manner being that
of the strenuous activity displayed at
his first meetings here.
Loud applause greeted the remarks
of the evangelist at many points in the
sermon. At times the people held
their breath ut some of the astounding
statements; at times they were con-
vulsed with laughter and frequently
they were spell.bound by the indis-
putable statements brought home to
them In n manner they had never be-
fore heard.
