WE CAN WIN.
BY Hon. Frank S. Regain, Rockford, III

Our party can win whenever the
clean, honest, decent people have sense
enough to go to the polls and vote the
Prohibition ticket. How can we get
them to do this?
I am convinced, from careful observ-
alton, that the American people are
looking for way out. They fully rea-
lie that something vital is wrong and
are willing and ready to listen at
tentively to any one who comes before
them with a clear, logical and sane
discussion of the saloon question and
it's bearing upon public affairs.
In my estimation just two things
are necessary to send the Prohibition
party to the front in American politics.
In the first place our party must have
faith in itself Our speakers and some
of our papers must get over the old
wall 1--WE can't win" What right have
we to ask a man to vote ticket we
admit can not win? What right has
any man to say, "Of course we will
not win" or 1--WE don't expect to elect
our men," Who gave them authority
for such statements? If We don't ex
pect to win we should disband and
quit. We do expect to win. We are
going to win What is better still, we
have won. I never allow man to tell
me 1--WE can't win" without prompt
denial. I insist we can win and prove
it by the assertion that I did win. Do
you suppose I would have been cleo
ted to the Illinois Legislature had
gone over the tenth senatorial district
and asked the people to vote for me
and then added, "But, of course, l
will not be elected?" What has been
done can be done again.
Since then we have elected large
number of legislators, and county and
township officers. What has been
done in these districts is possible in
every other district in the country.

OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG MEN.

The man with literary talents and
a nose for news" has an unlimited
field for power and influence in the
Prohibition mOvement-even greater
than that of the public speaker. He
NAV not become so well known as the
orator, he may even remain In the
background, obscured by the name OF
a paper, as editorial writer or mere
news reporter, but his journalistic tai
ent, matched with tremendous energy
and a shrewdness to use it at the right
moment and place, make him one OF
the two or three most valuable men
to the cause in it's present stage OF
development. Prohibition literature
must meet every form OF prejudice,
personal interest and political opposi-
ton; so it must be catchy and newsy,
so as to interest the Indifferent. In
connection with some private bust
ness, the young man who makes IL
his aim to keep his county weeklies
or city dailies filled with Prohibition
news, so written up that they will be
glad to get it, which means in such
a style that the average public will
read it, and do this work in gentle
manly manner and persiStently, will
soon become an unobtrusive, but pow
erful factor for the cause in that COM
munity. Then the temperance and
Prohibition journals of the country,
together with weekly papers in many
of our smaller towns, which may be
purchased and made Prohibition in
editorial tone, offer large field for per-
manent life work for the cause.

ate Prohibition Association in Inter

UNCLE SAM A BIG LIQUOR
DEALER.
By Eva Jones.

A house divided against itself can
not stand More than half the area
and about third of the people OF the
United States now have prohibition
law, state, county, municipal or or
some local kind. The United States
government is in the business OF max
ing and selling drink, in that it has
very heavy financial interests involv-
ed. The distiller makes whiskey for
about Is cents gallon. The U. 3.
government requires that it be paid
$1.10 also for every gallon made, and
the consumer foots the whole bill.
Uncle Sam takes charge OF the dlstll-
leries and warehouses all the time to
see that he does not get cheated out
of any share, (much the greatest
share), of this money, which the
drinkers spend for the stuff. In like
manner the beer business is compelled
to give the U. S. national treasury 81
a barrel.
Now WE are the whole thing, NUM-
cipal, state and national. We had bet
ter get consistent. So long as, in our
capacity as national citizens, we are
satisfied with having federation toll
crate, and permission keep on permit
ting for stipulated sum paid into the
national treasury, prohibition will not
work locally very well anywhere. we
shall not deserve to have it work well
We have got to learn to be clean and
square on this thing clear through to

AN EDITORS CHALLENGE.

The editor of the Wisconsin Chris
tian Advocate, published at Oshkosh,
which by the way contains as
straight-out Prohibition party matter
as comes from any press, issues the
following challenge to enemies OF the
saloon to "get together" He says:
"This is our slogan: Prohibition with a
Prohibition party behind it. AS PROOF 4;ooI
that we are not worshiping any political
party whatever, not even the Prohibition
party, we do here and now declare e.. that at:
whenever either the Republican party or
the Democratic party takes up this all
important issue in good faith, and un-
qualifiedly prOnounces against this license
policy, they can have our vote.
"If every Republican and Democrat
would be as ready to take this step with
reference to their party Affiliations HAT mnen
at the next election. When this is done:
when once men are put into 9fflce eeete n
prohibition and in the feasibility of car
rying it out, then the days of the traffic
will be numbered That day is COM
ming"

STREET MEETINGS.
BY Virgil G. Hinshaw, Field Secretary

BY Virgil G. Hnshaw, Field Secretary.
Street meetings over the state are
proving successful. Men who will not
listen to a speaker on the inside OF
building will listen for hours upon
street corner or in park. One thing
which has been sadly neglected by
Prohibitionists is getting in touch with
the rank and file of the people and
teaching them some of the simple
truths connected with the Prohibition
argument. For instance, the writer
was recently discussing the liquor
problem with one of the college presl-
dents of Minnesota, when the latter
asked "Why are you endeavoring to
elect men to congress on the PrOhibi-
ton ticket. The reply was given:
Because congress alone has power
to regulate interstate commerce, and
thus to say whether liquor shall in
wade a state whose law prohibits the
manufacture and sale of liquors"
This very simple truth was news TO
the college president, and is news to
thousands of educated as well as un-
educated men throughout the United
States. It is time that men were
knowing that the reason why neither
North Dakota nor Maine nor Kansas
has absolute prohibition is-not be-
cause those states manufacture liq.
uors - but because surrounding
states ship liquors into their territory
contrary to their wishes, proceeding
which an act of Congress alone can
prohibit.
A multitude of such truths can be
forced upon the popular hearing in
Out-of-door meetings.

A CHURCH PAPERS TRIBUTE.

In our opinion never was public senti-
ment SO strong against the liquor traffic
as it is today During the st; John cam
cagO could not secure the publication of
a notice of Prohibition meeting for
either 'love or money How different
now! Prohibition political news is found
in all of our dailies.
The Prohibition party, like other par
ties, has made mistakes; it's leaders have
not always acted with wisdom. Not
Withstanding it's plumbers, 1t is the grand
est party in the land, the only party con-
tending for principle; the only party with
an issue aside from spoil.-The Free
