worker and leader in all phases of the
Fellowship work, and we could never
appreciation of his beautiful spirit of
cheer and devotion and of his untiring
self sacrifice in doing his share in the
executive, altruistic and spiritual I'M
dertakings of the Fellowship, and in so

A GRILL FOR THE EDITOR y
IF P. Dunno i'm the famous Dooley
Sketches.1

And are the pa-apers wi1lin' con-
tinued Mr.. DooLEY, that the saloon
keepers shall say how much license the
pa-apers ought to pay for permission
to advertise the High Life 'Duff's
Whisky ETC., that the highwaymen call
for before they go out to catch their
helpless victims? Would you say HEN
messy, that $4,000 a piece was too much
for them to pay? MOI They ought to
be paying not twice, but ten times that
lege of carrying on their nefarieus
business
They pretend to be holy, and yet
ask their patrons to consume the rot
gut whisky and rank beer that no self
respecting saloonkeeper would have be-
hind his bar. No, HENNEsY, SCHWARTZ
MEIsTER, with all his faults is an honor
able man beside thin editors. The
whisky bloat that goes out from the
saloon to sandbag unprotected females
is a gintleman beside the i1igant bloat
that owns the pa-aper which for dol
lar in hand knifes the public with a
stiletto ad. All, friends, when it comes
to gettin' down on your knees and
kissin' the brow of the goddess of lib
erty lynn in the mud for the sake iv
the coin, the publisher of a metropolitan
daily can give poor saloonkeeper
cards and spades and beat him all hol-
low. BENEDICT ARNOLD and JUDAS Is
CARROT were noble min beside the iditors
that take blood money, trust money,
hush money, amy money at all, just so
it is money"
"Why do they do it?" said Mr.. HEN
messy. "The divvle only knows reniied

1t is well-known fact that the con-
gestion of SO many idle, shiftless ne
groes in the cities is largely due to the
fact that they can get liquor there more
easily and cheaply. The result has been
seen in the scarcity of farm labor
throughout the South as we'll as in the
increase of negro crime in the cities
If through Prohibition these negroes re-
turn to the country to labor in the fields,
the economic situation in this section
will feel the benefit, and the negroes
themselves will be healthier and better
off in every way-The Nashville Ten
neSSeeGH.

Listen, listen, don't you hear the sound?
The morning seems to glisten on the rising

There is music in the air,
You hear it everywhere,
There's Prohibition music all around.

am Prohlbltlonist; because to vote

ticlpant in its deeds. To vote for either
old party, is to become a promoter of
the liquor business-hence a promoter
OF idiocy, insanity, adultery and murder.
10 cast such a vote in ignorance of the
above facts, is no longer excusable. To
do it knowingly, is to commit a sin
against God, before which robbery and
profanity pale into semi-innocence.

| am a Prohibitionist; because I
know Prohibition to be right, both as
a matter of righteous principle and
God-approved practice; because the rum

superlative curse to our fallen humanity
and is only frought with shame, misery,
disgrace and death, both of soul and
body to its sad victims.

Prohibition party is the only party with

Elkhorn, Wisconsin.
| am a Prohibitionist; because the
liquor business is an unmitigated evil,
the worst enemy of God and man; the
