UP TO THE CHURCH.

Bishop J. N. FITZGERALD of the M.
f. Church. speaking from the Ocean
Grove, N. j., Chautauqua platform the
other day, declared that there would
be no saloons in America if American
church-members voted as they pray.
The bishop evidently has no fear of
the effect of putting a little religion
into ones politics.
This calls to this writer's mind that
some years ago, when Bishop Fitz-
Gerald was a resident of Minneapolis,
alluding to some passing event in the
prohibition world one day we remark
ed, THAT will be a pretty hard nut
for those prohibitiOnists to crack who
are not members of the Prohibition
party" The bishop promptly replied,
There are no prohibitionists who are
not members of the Prohibition party"
That struck us as pretty flat-fOoted
declaration, especially since probably
80 per cent of the voting membership
of the distinguished churchman's own
church and nearly all of his associates
upon the Episcopal Board were still
training with one or the other of the
license parties The bishops recent
declaration at Ocean Grove seems to
indicate that he has not changed his
mind upon this point.

just a Word

Boys, you will have all the trouble you
can meet to get along in life with the
brains you have without muddling them
with cigarette smOking.-Wm. II. Berry,
State Treasurer of Pennsylvania.
Soldiers of the Republic, the battles
of the present are identical with the
battles of the past. The form of war
fare only is changed. The moral con-
flictS waged in our nation are as truly
battles as We're the conflicts of Gettys-
burg and Lookout Mountain.-David
Gregg
There are those who will not accept the
teachings of the great minds whom l
have quoted and will deny that the liquor
traffic is an issue in American politics
today. But the drunkard's wife don't
deny it, nor the parents with the drunken
son, and it may thus be an issue in your
family very soOn.-Dr Sias G. Swallow.
The Christian church ought to keep out
of politics when national questions are
involved, when it is a question of the
tariff, or the monetary policy of the ma
ton that is to be decided. But when moral
questions are involved, when it is a ques-
ton of clean, honest and efficient adj
ministration by clean men, then the
church ought to get into the fight for the
sake of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Hanly.

A PARTY OF THE PEOPLE.

If the Prohibition party stands for any
thing it is for the destruction of the
liquor traffic.-Quemahoning Pa) Sen
tinel
Right you are. But it stands with
equal firmness and bravery for several
other reforms which are greatly need
ed. Vote the Prohibition party into
power and unjust monopoly would re-
ceive a death blow. The railroads
ed and managed by state and national
governments in the interest of all the
people. Bribery would be made very
inconvenient. The tariff, if continued,
would not be allowed to be such
bolster for the trusts. Labor would
receive it's just reward The right of
women to citizenship would be recog-
nized And by the initiative and re-
ferendum the people would be enabled
to work out civic reform to their lik-
ing.
The Prohibition party is pledged
to these and other reforms. The
overthrow of the saloon would pave
the way for them all. The Prohibi-
ton party recognizes the fact that
the saloon bulwarks all the iniquities
and the license system rOts the pub
lie conscience.
Referring to the relation existing
between that system and one form of
public wrong now in the public eye
and nostrils-the second plank of the
state platform declares:
wide spread graft and corruption of
public life menace the stability of our
government. The license system is the
most insidous and prolific parent of all
graft. The elevation of the Prohibition
party to power will put the government
In an attitude of hostility to every form
of corruption, wrest it from the control
Of private and selfish interest, corporate
again into the possession of their own"

ROTTEN MEAT AND DRINK.

Chicago saloon habitues are con-
siderably excited over the discovery,
by Food Inspector Murray, of a
plant containing thirty stoves, over
which six men were working in an
endeavor to prepare decayed pork and
beef into a semblance of it's original
form, and thereafter manufacture" it
into free lunch for the saloon trade
1t remains to be discovered just why
denizens of the Windy City should
get excited over little rotten meat
which it's consumers are supposed to
get free, while it rejoices to share
in the proceeds of the sale of equally
rotten drink, vastly more injurious to
the health and morals of the people,
Possibly it is because the fOul-smelling

parts it's offensive odors to the breath,
while, on the other hand. the use of

of those who drink them that peculiar,

1t is now the turn of men who vote
for license by voting with license
parties, not to take their lives, but
to take a mighty VOW that they will
no longer perpetuate the saloon by
their ballots.
The saloons and pool-rooms of the
country are the Ravens of the criminals,
the hatcheries of crime, the nesting
places of debauchery, robbery, murder,
brawls, vulgarity and indecency.-Appeal

So says the most widely circulated
Socialist paper in the nation. And
the best treatment it can think of for
these 'hatcheries of crime" and nest
ling places" of all vileness is to run
them under government auspices.

THAT SAENGERFEST PICNIC.

The city editor of Twin City daily
OF rather yellow hue has expressed
surprise to the writer that, with such
an array of facts, we did not run the
headline of our article on the big
Saengerfest Sunday drunk across an
entire page and write it up proper"
This leads us to plead guilty to hav-
ing written very conservatively.
Horrible as were the facts which
we gave, no one of the management
of the st. Paul civil or police admin
istration has seen fit to call our state
ments in question. We had hoped to
be called on the carpet to name the
police officers who drank while on
duty, and the one, at least, who was
intoxicated, but this honor has not
been accorded us, although we mailed
marked copies of our write-up of the
affair to the Mayor, Chief of Police
Police Captain and to every member
of the Board of Police. The poor old
Saint seems joined to his idols of
drunken laWlessness.
But there will soon be an awakening
and hunting for cyclone cellars.

A FIELD FOR PATRIOTISM.

on the overthrow of the gigantic
wrongs of today, even though those
wrongs be under the protecting folds
of the Stars and Stripes.

Case of Dragging.

banquet the vicissitudes and excite

experience the other night.
"He was summoned at the police
station to examine an unconscious
prisoner The prisoner, muddy and
disheveled, lay on the floor of the
cell room. The physician bent over
and examined him, and then, rising,
said in loud, stern voice:
"'This mans condition is not due
to drink. He has been drugged.
"A policeman turned pale and said
in timid, hesitating voice:

dustry such as man never saw be-
fore. The Orient, with it's 100000
900 or SOO,OO0,0OO people, under the
lead Of Japan, is adopting Western
methods of an industrial civilization
based on the railroad, the factory and
labor-saving machinery. Africa,
continent whose gold mines are doubt
less indicative of it's other natural
resources, is taking its place in the
new order of things and soon may
become to Europe what America was
for several centuries after the settle
ment of Jamestown vast field for
exploitation and enrichment. South
America, whose resources are as vast
as its territory, is undergoing great
Developments development, in fact,

the rapidity Of their growth, are rival.
ing the United States, while nearly
all Europe is enjoying an expansion
in manufacturers and commerce.
1t is, indeed, a golden era upon
which we have entered, for the
worlds gold production is commons
urate with this expansion of industry
Or shall say this expansion is COM
mensurate with gold production?
From 1892 to 1892, 400 years, the
worlds gold output was about $780,
100000. Since 1892 the total has been
about $4,000, 100000 year, with fair
prospect of it's reaching within the
next few years $4,000, 00O,0 00 1t is quite
probable that the output of the 20
year period between 1892 and 1917
will exceed the total of the 400 years
from 1892 to 1892. During the first
half of the nineteenth century the
total production of gold was $751; OO,-
900, while during the second half 1t
amounted to $4,000, 100000. The
stimulating effect~of this huge increase
in gold production will doubtless be
seen in an outburst of Industrial &C
tivity throughout the world.
1t would, indeed, seem that Europe,
Asia and Africa, as well as the Amer
lean continent, are all at the thresh-
old of period of advancement in ma
terial affairs, and, necessarily, of
higher range of prices and of an adj
vance in wages such as mankind has
never known. At such time 1t be-
hooves the bankers of the South to
broaden their horizon. to look out on
world-affairs and to be leaders in car
rying forward the world-dominance OF
this heaven-favored section, the equal
of which is not found elsewhere on
earth.
