Natl Temperance Congress
Petitions President Roosevelt TO Attack

ST. John Prophecies.

The Congress was splendid sue
cess in point of attendance, number
of prominent leaders who took part
and in the political character of the
discussions which took place. Gov. st.
John received an ovation. Clinton N.
Howard, national chairman Chas. R.
Jones, Wiley J. Phillips and other
leaders hit hard and their utterances
were enthusiastically endorsed by the
assembly. The various temperance
and Prohibition organizations each had
charge of the program for one day.
Western colleges were represented in
Prohibition oratorical contest. The
honors were won by J. Percival Hager-
man, Occidental College, Los Angeles.
Important resolutions regarding the in
ternal revenue system were adopted
1862 were repealed Immediately after the
war with the exception of the tax on
liquor. The internal revenue system has
vested capital exceeds $500, 600, 900 and its
retail cash income is nearly $1,000, 000,-
900 yearly. The internal revenue receipts
100000 and the receipts of all state and
local governments are less than 5000, ,00O,
900 annually It's direct and indirect cost
exceeds $4,000, 100000 annually.
In view of these tremendous facts and
of the relation of the liquor traffic to the
religious, educational, scientific and COM
mercial welfare of the people, the con-
gress appealed to President Roosevelt to
break the official silence of the present
and past administrations for more than
forty years upon the completely of
the national government with the legalized
liquor traffic and with the same nlagnifi-
cent courage and manly independence that
have characterized his craftsmanship to
the present hour champion the peoples
in his next message to the national Con-
gress declare that this alliance must be
broken and the internal revenue bulwark
and forever.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO
YOUNG MEN.

You cannot retain your self-respect
if you are loose and foul of tongue.
A man who is to lead clean and
honorable life must inevitably suffer
if his speech likewise is not clean and
honorable. The future welfare of the
nation depends upon the way in which
we can combine in our men-in our
young men-decency and strength.
There is no good of your preaching to
your boys to be brave if you run away;
there is no good of your preaching to
them to tell the truth if you do not
Unless there is spirit of honesty in
man, unless there is a moral sense,
his courage, his strength, his power
but make him dangerous creature in
our life-a man, whether from the
standpoint of our social or political
system, to be hunted down. In civil
life, the greater mans ability, if it
is not combined with the moral sense,
the more dangerous that man as a
citizen, the worse he is as a citizen.

''Well, sir, it is an Internal shame!"
What is it, John?"
"Why for the past few weeks this
Prohibition paper has been showing
up how these rumsellers control our
politics. They dictate the nomina-
tions, prevent the enforcement of law
and even the legislature is in their
grip. I tell you something must be
done. wish the whole accursed busi-
ness was wiped off from the face of
the earth"
"Well, the way to do it is to vote
for it,"
"Oh, well, it's no use to vote for
prohibition until public sentiment is
ready for it."
"John, I have heard hundred men
say that during the past year. How
are you going to. show public senti-
ment except by voting your individual
sentiment? If your sentiment is ready,
vote it, and others will, sooner or later,
come with you. So long as you vote
the same ticket as saloon-keepers, you
are voting their sentiment for license
and not yours for prohibition"
That's just what this paper has
been saying"
"Of course. BY the way, the SUBJ
scription for that paper runs out this
week"

THE PROHIBITION PARTY.

From 1866 to 1905 there were twen-
ty-two minor" parties organized in
national politics. The Prohibition
party, the first one of the twenty-five
organized in 1869, is, with one excep-
tion, the only one of these twenty-five
parties now alive, and it is more thor
oughly organized and carrying on a
more aggressive agitation than ever
