FAIRMoNT, W. va, NOV. 2, 1906.
The prohibition Of the liquor gai-
&c is the greatest moral. social 4
nancial and political question tint to
day confronts the American people
In the opinion Of every Conscientious
student OF current. history there Is no
other question Of such vast and CON
manding Importance as the liquor
problem. The traffic in alcoholic bev-
erages has become the greatest enemy
of the home, church and State ~
other reform" of any importance can
be permanently settled until lithis grea
evil is destroyed. The almost Whole
sale corruption Of voters, the polla
tion Of the ballot box, can be traced
directly to the influence Of the saloon
in American politics.
If the local, State and national gov
ernments of our nation are put into
the hands Of sober citizens, the pe1
pie can rest assured that all other
questions. as well as the prohibition
Of the liquor traffic. win be settled III
the interest Of justice, and for the yeIg
best welLbeing Of the great mas
people.
Not less than 100000 are spent IN
nually in the saloons Of Marion conn
ty. This vast expenditure Of money
is an intolerable burden upon every
honest industry. On an average,
ty families must be deprived Of tts
full measure Of the necessities ana
comforts of life to support one saloon
keepers family. This is in no sense
of the term of Square Deaf and tlle
