BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE,
could be raised at the sacrifice Of the
i drunkard's family! 8
Now in regard to the drug store. Let
the learned gentleman read chapter IS
4 penal code) of the Revised Statutes Of
4 1906, and he can learn how to fight the
i drug god ;;' and it would be we'll if
4 the people in general would read section
Il 1885,, which gives any relative or guar
4 dian right to forbid any druggist under
4 heavy penalty, TO sell, barter or give
4 any intoxicating liquor to any relative
! or ward who is in the habit of becom-
i ing intoxicated.
/ AS to the liquor ordered from other
4. states by private parties for their own
use, the orders are generally small and
4. far between. In the eastern part Of
q Burleigh county, where 4 now live,
q there is not as much liquor shipped in
q IN twelve months as a saloon would sell
in twelve hours. Ali the money now
spent for liquor in the eight townships
doing business at Driscoll would not be
sufhc1ent to pay the salary Of police,
an officer that we now have no use for.
4 The result is that the people are .sig-
8 noranto Of the value Of police and q
lookup.

Now in regard to the church. The
4 learned gentleman from Ward county
a says that he is not making an attack
on christianity No; not on that So
called christianity, spelled with a
small &; but it is a shameful desecra-
ton to OF the Christianity of Christ. A
man whom the Sermon on the Mount
would Jar and who ridicules the AL
, mighty and All-wise God for His man
. agement Of the Garden Of Eden would
DO better not to mention the names
4 Christ" and 'Nazarene In the. Ser
mon on the Mount Christ outlines his
doctrines as the Great Teacher Of man
kind; and as the Nazarene the christian
sees him bearing the burden of the
SINS OF mankind resulting from the fall
IN the Garden of Eden. Nor should he
concern himself about "the Pickering IS.
TEEN OF public bowed at the foot 81
/ the cross He who was raised on the
cross will look after that. In no STATE
IN the union is the church doing create,
and nobler work in proportion to thu
population than in North Dakota. BIZ
the real trouble with the learned gen.
] tlernan is that the church is really edo
ing and not simply believing It i.
educating the people to self denial, t.
| charity and to self sacrifice. People arr
| willing to deny themselves the temper
ate use Of an article that might temp
| others to lntemperance. They are will
ing to share the burdens Of their les,
fortunate brother to make his life easie
! and brighter. Yes, they are even will
ing to sacrifice time, money and comfor
OF life for the betterment Of their fel
1 lowrnen. This, the learned gentlerna,
contends is ignorance fighting prog
ress, advancement, etc" and must b
stopped. m s5
| Then he seems to know about sspub
| lie, evidently something outside ane
opposed to the church that he claim
has an inherent right to try condition
for betterment;;" and he adds: ssseThe,
! will try it now. Religious opposition
. to the question Of resubmission will no
B be tolerated. /" Now it would be inter
esting to know how he is going to con
stitute this public" so as to exclude til,
I'church members and their religious in
fiuence By what mathematical differ
entiation is he going to eliminate til,
4 power Of the Infinite from the irafnitesi
NAL man? An intelligent and logica
discussion of the question Of resubmis
sion will hurt no one; but it should no
be made an excuse for abusing God ant
the church. s
t is true that prohibition does nc
altogether prohibit; but it is becomin,
more effectual every year. An engin,
converts into profitable work less thai
40 per cent Of the energy Liberated
from the fuel, yet we will not discard
/ its use till we find something better.
As for prohibition the people o
North Dakota have spoken through it
representatives; and they are speaking
now. New laws are being passed max
God speed the cause!
