REFORMERS MUST UNITE

1t was Sheriff Pearson, elected on
straight Prohibition ticket, who,
though he died in the attempt, closed
400 illegal saloons in the city of Port
land, Me. 1t was Sheriff Bonde of
Kandiyohi county, also a Prohibition
list, who is causing the law violators
of the city of Willmar to feel the grip
Of righteous law-enforcement by a
fearless official backed by a party or
ganized to enforce the law and i'm
prove the law. It was DR.. Swallow,
the Prohibitionist, who caused the
Pennsylvania Republican gang of
treasury looters and Capitol burners
to tremble in their boots.
But there are others. 1t was Mayor
Jones, the Republican, who, having re-
spect for his solemn oath of office,
closed the doors of the saloons of
Minneapolis on Sunday, made home a
happier place on the day of rest for
thousands of families and saved a
million dollars a year to those fam
lilies and to legitimate business.
And it was Gov. Folk, the Democrat,
who grappled with the liquor traffic
in st. Louis, the city which is the
most notorious violator of the liquor
laws on the continent, and compelled
them to take a much needed rest one
day in seven and it is he who is now
striking terror into the ranks Of the
brewers by urging additional legisla-
ton to make law-enforcement easier,
to extend to st. Louis and Kansas

Post Card Offer Withdrawn

The government postal authorities
have advised us that we may no long
er offer our Post Card premium, on
the ground that it is a more valuable
premium in proportion to our sub
scription price than the postal regula-
lions allow.
Of course this is a disappointment
to us, especially as we had just begun
our Easter Card campaign. But
Uncle Sam is agin' us and as, at this
writing, The Public Weals gunboats
are rather out of repair, we surrender.
We continue our great Seed Prem
ium Offer See the description on
fourth page.
The campaign for new subscriptions
must not stop or even slacken. We
are rounding the first quarter-pole
toward our goal Of 5000 new sub
scrloers between last November and
next November. We need your help
and need it now. The Government
compels us to withdraw our Card
Premium. But it has not abolished
the saloon. That is as diabolical as
ever. And that is sufficient reason
why you should ask your friends to
subscribe for our paper.

| City the privilege of voting out the
saloon if they will and to abolish sa-
loon ownership by the brewers and
distillers.
What will come of all this? The
Republican and Democratic parties
give no indication of purpose to OPP
pose even the lawleSSneSS of the sa-
loon, much less to array themselves
for the overthrow of the law-viOlating
institution. Will the Folks and
Joneses (their number is increasingly
go back? We believe not. Will they
continue to fight each other at the
ballOt-boX over comparatively insignif-
icant issues while they behold the sa-
loon, as it is pressed to corner, unit
ing it's forces regardless of party? We
believe not. They must get togeth-
err They will unite. Where? We
don't know. Further, we don't care.
We are confident that we speak the
mind of the great body of Prohibition
lists when we declare their willingness
to rally to the Republican party, or to
the Democratic party, to help to Or
ganize a new party or to stay where
they are, so that they can be with the
largest number of the open enemies
of the saloon in political party open
ly and unequivocally committed to it's
determination.
One thing is clear. For the present,
at least, the natural home of every
enemy of the saloon is in the Prohibi,
ton party. The increase of it's vote
will press the issue to the front.
Every ballot cast for it will weigh
nightly in the accomplishment of
this result. Every vote cast for it
means, and is understood to mean
these two things: First, I believe that
the saloon issue ought to be settled
next. Second, the proper way to
settle the saloon issue is to extermin-
ate the saloon.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE?

If the life story of Evelyn Nesbitt
Thaw teaches anything, it teaches
that evil associations at questionable
places and at unseemly hours over the
cup of intOxication is fraught with ut
most danger. There is another moral
that ought to be drawn. 1t is one
which many will overlook. A multi
tude of respectable citizens will hold
up their hands in horror at the exist
ence of social conditions which make
such evils as have been recently
chronicled possible. Do they realize
that the sale of the drink which has
played such an important part in
these awful events is authorized by
law? Do they remember that they in
their citizen capacity are lawmakers?
Do they, not only the citizens of New
York city and state but of every state
in the Union, know that their ballot
for political parties which at state
capitals enact laws legalizing the sa-
loon and at the national capital ar
range for raising a revenue from the
liquor traffic buttresses the whole
business of manufacturing and selling
the drink which damns our boys and
girls alike?

Editors Say-SO

Virginia Pen: Don't feel lonesome be-
cause you are left alone. 1t doesn't prove
that you are left behind!
Midway News: There are those who
believe that if women were let into the
game they would even make politics re-
spectacle.
Defender: Venango work is no new
scheme no short cut; it is simply the
idea of working tremendously along party
lines and keeping at it; and the major
part of the whole idea is the keeping
at it.
Patriot Phalanx: Saloons must be
made to bear the expense" Was there
ever such flimSy reasoning on any other
subject palmed off upon the people?
Where and from whom and at what cost
must the saloons obtain the means to
bear the eXpense?"
Interior: Surely it is worth enthusiasm
this enterprise that proposes to redeem
and regenerate a world A man who
CLOVIS over the hope of favorable sale
of northumberland he contemplate
with calm pulses the wonderful hope of
buying back to God the race of humanity?
Intercollegiate Statesman: The Scand-
inavian students in Minnesota are whole
hearted in their work against the saloon.
They study the problem broadly, debate
it intensely contribute their money and
make the best Of workers in the practical
field as well. The overthrow of the liquor
evil is to them worthy life-purpose.

today. The growing relief from those

today. The growing relief from those
burdens is inspired by a growing
spirit of Christlikeness in our rela-
tons to our fellow men. AS never
before men are seeking to extend the
kingdom of Jesus Christ by throwing
such an environment around humanity
as will make it easier for men to do
right and harder for them to do wrong.
Whatever will dignity honest labor
or separate it from evil associations
or protect it from robbery by cormor-
ants, whether licensed or unlicensed
is the Lords work and every person
who engages in it is to that extent
the brother or sister or father or
mother of Jesus.

THE DOOR is OPEN.

The Peoples party seems to be pass
ing. 1t has not, however, lived in
vain. 1t has been a factor in compel
ing the other parties to take up the
fight against enthroned wrongs. The
natural home for most Populists is in
the Prohibition party. They are large
ly opposed radically to the liquor traf-
fic and in many political divisions
their party has declared for it's ex-
termination. The Prohibition party
stands for practically every reform
advocated by the Peoples party which
is now approved by the intelligent and
candid reformers of today.

JUST a Word

Men, use your ballot to protect your
homes and mothers will be glad to bury
their hatchet.-Carry A. Nation.
If the traffic in ardent spirits is i'm
moral, then of necessity are the laws
which. authorize the traffic; immoral.
And if the laws are immoral, then we
must be immoral if we do not protest
against them.-Gerritt Smith.
We do not pretend that everyone who
drinks an occasional glass Of wine be-
comes a drunkard. But we do affirm
that everyone who drinks wine throws
the whole weight Of his influence in favor
of the drink customs that do make drunk
ards.-Dr. Theo. l.. Cuyler.
You have no right to luxuriate. If
you are Christian men, you should sell
your sword and garments, go into your
neighbours house and start public opin-
ion, and rouse and educate the masses.
One soul with an idea OutweighS nine
ty-nine men moved only by interests
Wendell Phillips.
1t is not, however, that a man knows
that is to be the final step; in the future
the question is neither to be how a man
was born, how great his wealth nor even
what he knows, but how he serves his
fellow men. Here is the true, the final,
aristocracy which never can be displaced
not what he does for himself, but what
he does for others.-Andrew Carnegie.

THEY HURT TRADE.

Sixth street constitutes a part Of
the Minneapolis patrol limits. Business
men on that street in the vicinity of
Hennepin and Nicollet avenues are up
in arms regarding the proposed open
ing of another saloon there. The Tri-
bune quotes the manager of a large
store as saying, Saloons and cigar
stores are parasites in the eyes OF
real estate men.* i They do not
bring desirable trade from our stand
point and their patrons are an en-
barrassment to the women who come
to the big stores, and it is after all
the women who do the most buying.
They buy for themselves and the men
in their families"
Where is the saloon wanted any
Way?

SMUTTED By SMOOT,

After four years "consideration" Of
the eligibility of Reed Smoot to a
seat in the U. S. Senate the outcome
is that he has been allowed to re-
main by a vote of AZ to 20. AS we
predicted last month, the issue was
determined not by judgment or on
principle but according to party exig-
ency. All but three Democrats voted
against Mr.. Smoot Of the % adverse
votes only nine were cast by Repub-
licans, Senator Clapp being one of the
number. Senator Nelson voted in
favor of Mr.. Smoot. We suppose this
furnishes additional proof that the
Prohibition members of the legisla-
ture should have given him their bal
lot

BAPTIZED IN LABOR'S NAME.

A unique ceremony was that which
took place in Chicago recently when,
by the forms Of baptism, the life of a
child was solemnly consecrated to the
work of uplifting humanity. We do
not understand that the ceremony was
looked upon as a rite intended to take
the place of that administered by most
of the churches. Although under the
auspices Of the Allied Printing Trades
Council, it was performed in a Method
list church by Rev. DR.. Miner, repre-
senting the department Of Church and
Labor of the Presbyterian church.
We like the idea To devote life
to the cause of labor is to consecrate
it to the help of humanity. It was
Jesus, the carpenter, who said, 'Tnas-
much as We have done it or have not
done it unto one of the least of these,
We have done it or have not done it
unto Me-" More and more is the
world awakening to the fact that
whatever emphasis properly may be
laid upon belief, it is even more i'm
portant to do as Jesus did than to
think as he thought. Great burdens
and grievous to be borne rest upon
laborers and other classes Of humanity

MAY GET THEIR DUES.

The Supreme Court Of Wisconsin
has just decided that the license of
any saloon may be revoked for any
infraction of the liquor laws In case
a violation of such law is not immedi.
ately followed by the revocation of the
license in question, the city council
may be mandamused and impeached
for malfeaSance.
The machinery of law is getting
oiled up for the accomplishment of
it's real purpose, the prevention and
punishment of crime. Before long
wOuld-be saloonists will be sent to the
penitentiary instead of to the legisla
tura
The public weal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1906-1908, 1907-03-01

The Prohibition party is in the field
not because it can win thus and thus
easily or at such and such a time, but
because fidelity to right requires
that there shall be in the political
arena a party committed to absolute
right upon the saloon issue. For the
same reason the Prohibition party will
stand in it's place and fight until the
saloon dies.

CHARGED WITH ACTIVITY.

The saloonists are finding out that
the Prohibition party is electing can
didates these days and that these Of
ficals do business as soon as their
day of opportunity dawns. Here is
"The Wine and Spirit and News" for
instance, which notes unusual activ-
ity throughout the country along tenn
perance and prohibition lines 1t con-
tinues:
wherever the legislatures are in ses-
sion there is agitation for some sort of
temperance legislation so-called. At the
last election a number of prOhibs were
chosen in different states and these are
largely responsible for the discussion
And it is still blacker for the sa-
loOnists further on.

asked why she had never married, re-
piled, why should 1? have a stove
that smokes, monkey that chews
tobacco and parrot that can swear"
Now will the horrid men be good?
AS we have remarked from time to
time, the canteen is dead. Once in a
while there is conclusive contraction
Of the muscles such as sometimes
takes place in corpse, but it is dead
And, by the way, it's death is a fore
runner of the death of the saloon.
The Presbyterian ministers of In
dianapolis who endorsed the high
license bill then pending but since de-
feated repudiated the action of their
own general assembly and that of the
Indiana synod as we'll. 1t is we'll that
the union ministers meeting came to
the defense of true Presbyterianism
by denouncing the proposed measure
OF the worlds history the South Caro-
lima dispensary died the death; Ten
nessee so extended it's prohibition of
saloons within four miles of school
houses as to practically blot out the
AAquOl III dlllC duu du dII0upL0U re-
submission of the prohibition question
to vote of the people failed in Maine
and Kansas.
The Business Mems Association Of
Creston, Iowa, reports that out of 100
men who pay their bills promptly only
three are drinking men, and 81 per
cent of those on the blacklist of per-
sons refused credit for cause are sa-
loon-keepers, bartenders and grog-shop
patrons. If the liquor issue had no NOR
al tinge the saloon is doomed. The idea
is slowly but surely percolating
through the craniums of business men
that the institution is one Of the direst
foes Of legitimate business.
The American Woman's Suffrage
Association has 100000 affiliated and
$4,000 active members. DR.. Anna H.
Shaw, president, says: I'm no other
year since the ballot was given to the
women Of Australia have as many
women received enfranchisement as
in 1906" Referring to the campaign
IN Oregon, she says that the chief op-
posing forces to woman's enfranchise-
ment are the organized liquor-traffic
and the corporate interests. Of
.ourse.
