Ithrc wn through t.e mtel,ieelt anG
united action &: the Christia
churches We shall have in this fighf
every Christian minister il Cair
lboth white aud colored Every
I preacher knows that the word of G
is against the saloon. The storm /.
coming and God's hand is in It an
taaay for the place he has for me ir
this battle. | am nothing but trutl
in everything. and with Gods he'r
I ! shall strike this viper with al til
power he gives me, and | will II
fail for the saloon shall 20 fro
| Cairo If there IL soldier with nos
cnongh bravery 10 face the foe II
had better desert before the hattl
opens. We have not a preacher 1
Cairo who viii not stand by hi
stD." II We have preacher with
cotton string for backbone. our
prayer Is before me begin the battle,
"0h Lord give this minister bone in
his back and steel in his blood for
we can't face the combined liquoi
interest in Cairo, if we start out wit
a leader who may fail us. Every ont
Of YOU Christians who vote with tht
saloon element endorse that card OF
Frank Hinkle If you vote with the
LIQUOR element or do nothing to close
The saloons in Cairo. and then Mr.
Hinkle comes to church and says y
went to Join your church" At once
the minister will say, According Il
the rules of our church it is not pos |
sibie fer you TO be admitted for yo'
are engaged in a business which yoi |
admit makes men commit suicide |
and drive them insane am |
n the poor house" Well, that is
strange, " replies Mr. Hinkle "A few |
weeks ago YOU voted to make me 0
and now you refuse to lei |
me Join your church because | Am / |
saloon Eeeper." Now | would lFe |
to fnow how that preacher or churc'
member Is going to reply to Mr.
Hinkle? AS a matter of fact he can
'eply. As preachers and people WI
stand convicted cf hypocrisy before
he community so long as we con
inua to preach and nrav and pass
resolutions fer prohibition and yote
q perpetuate license in our city:
.annct shake off completely with tn
raffic so lcng as that is our inconsist
mt attitude.
Judge Wall said the other day thai |
he ten saloons in Mound City pai'
or license $4,000 and that thes
alccns took in as reported through
he banks s12 900 each annually, max
ng Sl20.0c@. Now for this $l20,000
aid into the saloons. these saloons |
aid to the city only $4,000. There is
clear loss to the people of Mound |
'itv of S11j.C90. The wise man OF

anne thing. when he says my old
