Of the Prohibition party say things
which the following touches lightly
on, etc: The saloon. a bad thing OF
course, but It is business and bust
ness is said to be based on business
laws and laws Of the land are sup
posed to be based on The laws OF God
or in other words on justice and sure
~ the liquor law is tarred with the
same stick and by the same people
who make other laws and how many
people 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 Prohtb1-
ton party as they can it and perhaps
the meaning is right but the writer
thinks the name is against the party
Prohibition. Prohibit what? Wen,
| Just liquor and Intoxicating drink.
They surely have not come out with a
platform showing what their. inter-
ests are in regard to the management

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

Enough said, too much: as every
body knows it is an evil. The IN
popularity Of drinking is today 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 1t 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 genuine platform Of good gen
eral government The saloon man.

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
1t. There are enough drunkardS now
to drink it up in a little while and
they would be willing to do it &C
at it in the right way and You VIII
