Of the Prohibition party say things
which the following touches lightly
on. etc: The saloon, a bad thing of
course, but ii Is a business and bust
ness is said to be based on business
laws and laws Of the land are sup
posed to he based on the laws Of God
or In other words on Justice and sure:
BIZ the liquor law Is tarred with tile
same stick and by the same people
who make other laws and how many
speople who do not know one thing or
scarcely one thing about whisky or
saloons, try to say something about
them, saying in the right time, place
and way Is all right, but how many
knows what, when and where to say
for the most effect and best results?
Some who represent the Prohibt-
ton party as they call it and perhaps
the meaning is right, but the writer
thinks the name is against the party.
Prohibition. Prohibit what? Well,
Just liquor and Intoxicating drink.
They surely have not come out with a
platform showing what their inter
ests resin regard to the management
OF this great union Of States. and
the protection Of them and their laws
and people.
The Prohibition party, as the writ
er understands it, has never said
much about anything but plain and
straight whisky. which is bad
enough, and great many who say
the most know the least.
Enough said. too much; as every
body knows it is an evil. The un-
popularity of drinking is to-day do
ing more against the liquor business
than all the prohibition speeches
there have been made in West Vir-
.ginia for the last twenty years. Men
are firing of it themselves and would
vote with any party who would de-
clare for the abolition Of the manu-
facture and sale of it In the United
states of America and accompanied
by a genuine platform of good gen
eral government. The saloon man,
the drinker and the manufacturer
would all join or II not all, enough
to overrule, over power, coniscate
and wipe off the earth and destroy
all the rot gut in America in thirty
days. Well, in fact, it could be got
rid of as If they would quit making
it. There are enough drunkards now
to drink it UP in a little while and
they would be willing to do it. Go
at it in the right way and you will
get plenty of help. If you don't, some
other party will leave you out and
off the list and the bag to hold with
out any credit other than talking
about the disease. Give us a rem.
edy. Your pills are not strong
enough. While you may help one or
gan of the body with your remedy,
we die for want of nourishment for
the many others connected with our
anatomy Give us some medicine for
the whole big world and we will vote
the drunkards by the thousand, the
Lone Star will vote and help drink
some. too, il they run short Of help.
II it's no secret, give us your plat
