The Ocala Banner
is for Prohibition.

Frank Harris's Ocala Banner has de-
clared that il is for Prohibition in
Marion county. 1t says:
In the approaching prohibition cam
paign this paper will throw the weight
of its influence on the side OF those
who are struggling to vote the county
dry.
If it were to attempt TO print all
the articles pro and con in a contest
OF this kind it would be overwhelmed
with literature. and some of the arti-
cles would be compelled 10 go I'M
printed, and the authors of the reject
ed articles would feel aggrieved, so
our business manager has concluded
to fix a price for the publication of
these articles, and the same has been
accepted by the literary bureaus of
the two factions.

WOMAN AND HER SPHERE.

Editor, Pensacola Journal:
Having been requested to write
something concerning woman on the
subject of prohibition, we feel by so
doing We are treading a dangerous
path, and running the risk of forfeit
ing the admiration of the good woman
on one side, and losing our scalp from
the frivolous on the other. We.
therefore, approach the subject with
the greatest reluctance and fear. for
woman. as rule. will not have her
motives questioned or intentions i'm
pugned, particularly by man.
lnasmueh as We have been taught
from our youth and at our mothers
knee to have the greatest respect and
tenderIess for the opposite sex, we
hope Mat should a single word drop
inadvertently from our pen. detracf-
ing from her loving care and inf1u-
enee, that she will attribute it TO our
ignorance or an Imperfect knowledge
Of her mental and moral constitution.

+ What is woman'S sphere in this

elevating him above the plane of bar
barism and bringing him up to the
highest point of civilization, or was
it for the purpose of wrechng his life

pistol shot or liquor? Let the woman
answer. 1t all depends upon her con-
duct
We have known hundreds of men
brought back to the path of rectitude
and honor through the loving care
and affection of a good woman, and
she who attempts to accomplish by
force and governmental laws what
should be done by kindness will fail
deplorabIy. What do we mean? We
will tell you Should it be her mis-
fortune to be linked to a man of in
temperate habits, who keeps late
hours, and who comes home intoxi-

out; you are drunk You are disgracing

his condition, such treatment will find
its way to the remotest corner of his

and redeeming traits.
Senator Wigfall. of Texas, said upon
an occasion in the Confederate con-
gresS, when Jefferson Davis "shed
tears" and was reproached as being
too weak to rule, that there are times
In the life of every man when it is
better to take counsel of the heart
than of the head" A more worthy
aphorism could not be given to wom-

plicity of home rule by undertaking
the policies belonging to the domain
and province of your husband and son.
Should you have a hayward son or
husband. stick to the part that nature
has marked out for you, and our word
for it you will win.
Show your power at home, cast a
halIow around the family circle. by
your example of refinement, patience
and love. and you may then boast of
having fulfilled that high and lofty
mission that God has assigned you.

soon the clouds break away leaving

have to get it some way. IL the taxes
increase, the rents win also. and there
the poor man suffers. Perhaps the
grocer or butcher Will raise the price
on certain articles. How is the poor
man to pay for it? The employer will
not raise the wages. He will say that
he has too many expenses and can
not meet the demands of the en-
ployeo.
Mrs. Hokett says: IF there is one

strong language ther>, for some of
the most refined and respected drink
beer, and also whiskey. Even doctors
order 1t for some invalids, so it really
is necessary in some cases. OF
course they drink beer moderately.
As to Mr., Sindorf: He must have
