pleased with the name, The National Pyokibi-
ZIONIST. 1t indicates the purpose of our party.
The liquor traffic is national evil 1t requires
a national weapon to fight it.
1t is an evil that must not be dallied with
no temporizng, regulating restricting
ures worth fig The cheapest the quick
est, the most satisfactory and effective way is
to prohibit it. Hence the name National Pyohi-
bitonist We fail to see how better name
could have been found. Now let every tenn
perance man subscribe for it at once!
It's editor, Mr.. FERGUSON, is a trenchant writer.
His editorials always ring true. Shiy-shally-
ing policies find favor with him. None
of our exchanges have been more welcome or
more carefully read than the publications under
his CONTROL and now we await with great ex-
pectancy the pleasure of listening again to the
Voice of the Defender of the Home" with
the garb of The National Pyohibitionist upon
him. May this newest and greatest venture
be abundantly successful
THE NATIONAL PRoHIBITIoNIsT: Enclosed
find check to pay for twenty-five annual SUBJ
scriptions to The National PYohibitiomiSt, list
of which is herewith enclosed I wish that at
least one thousand Prohibitonists would do as
am doing, thus adding twenty-five thousand SUBJ
scriptions to your list, and substantial bit of
cash to your bank account.

congratulate you on the new paper. 1t is
beauty, and bright promise of brighter day
that l believe is dawning for the Prohibition

heart on learning of the reunion of forces, and
the determination the part of all to work
for the upbuilding of the party. With such

to hope that slogan of "a million votes i'll

next few years the complete annihation of the
legazed liquor traffic? May God grant it.

ANNA SLOAN WALKER,

Decatur, Ill.
IHE NATIONAL PROHIBITIoNIST: Il want to ex-
press my intense interest and appreciation of
the very gratifying change which you have lately
brought about in the Prohibition newspaper
world. l am confident you will be made glad
by the way all friends of the cause will come to
your support.
While I am sorry to see the name Defender,
which / had the privilege of giving to the late
paper and which in its best sense meant so
much, taking its place among the relics of the
past, and while 1 shall always remember the
grand work of that paper and the sacrifices
of its editors with joy, because of my having
had a small part in the struggle, and to think
that there are men in the world who are willing
to immediate themselves in such wise upon such
an altar, for such a cause, yet I sure the
new name is much more appropriate. 1t brings
the publication out into the open; challenging !
all enemies of Righteousness to open warfare,
and putting them the defensive. All hail to
the name, and the fellows back of it.

From the Christian ConServator.
Not since The Voice was printed a score of
years ago have the proportionate approximate
unity of the Prohibtionists been applied to one
national paper as the one born from a combna-
ton of The Defender of New York city and
The Home Defender of Chicago last month. Its
combined subscriptions number about $4,000.
From the Venango Daily Herald
Comes to the editors desk, with its finely
printed sixteen pages of conviction, the new
national Prohibition weekly, The National Pro-
hibitionst. In it are merged The Defender (New
York; The Home Defender (Chicago), and The
Neqc Voice, long the most potent power for
Prohibition in the world This gives it nation
wide clientele, if not worldwide one, OF the
best posted and most enthusiastic Prohibition be-
LEVERS 1t is edited by the talented, persistent,
widely Inexperienced WILLIAM P. F. FERGUSON of
New York, former editor of The Defender, and,
before that of The NeaO Voice, one of the strong
est and most forceful men in the Prohibition
movement. In its business corps the paper has
EDWARD E. BLAKE, a clear-headed young man
with long business training, who formerly owned
The Home Defender, and Mr.. PENDELL, former
business manager of The Defender. Experience,
brains and enthusiasm will combine to make this
the mghtest organ for Prohibition the move
ment has yet seen. May God bless The Ma
tional Prohibitionist!
From the Wisconsin Christian Advocate
This is one of the best things that has yet
happened and an event which the Wisconsin

movement combines in one, The Defender, The
Home Defender and The Nezv Vosce-a consunl-

should be devoutly thankful. The Advocate is

PLEADS FOR SONS
C0NKLIN DEFENDS
BOYS ON ARSON CHARGE.
They Were Accused of Setting Fire to
Bloomfield Barn-Decision
Reserved.

William Conklin. the father of Ev-
erett and Stanley Conklin. 8 and II
years old respectively. appeared as
their counsel in the Juvenile Court be-
fore Judge Ten Eyck today. The boys
were charged with arson in setting fire
to a barn in Bloomfield avenue, Mont
clair, on October Z last.
The boys story was that they were
only burning leaves on a nearby lot,
and that the fire was wholly accidental.
The father made a good fight for
his boys, trying to prove their inno-
cence. The judge said that while
matches had been used by the boys,
there was no evidence that they had
deliberately planned to set fire to the
barn. At the same time, he said. de-
cision would be reserved, so as to de-
termine whether or not there had been
criminal carelessness.

DENVER ms
CONVENTION
FIGHT
Democrats Select July
for Their National
Gathering.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-In Denver,
on July z. the Democratic national con-
vention will meet to nominate candi-
dates for President and Vice-President.
Such was the decision of the Demo-
cratic national convention in session
at the Arlington Hotel here. 1t was
a close race between Denver and
Louisville for the honor of entertain
ing the big gathering; in fact. it was a
contest between the mints, and the
mint which produces the gold won over
the mint which contributes to the
production of the julep.
The feeling of the committee was
that with Denver's money the national
committee could do more toward de-
fraylng campaign expenses tina it
could with all the enthusiasm which
might be engendered by the entire
output of Kentucky's distilleries.
Two ballots were required to deter
mine the convention city. On the
first vote Denver had 90; Louisville, IL;
Chicago, 5, and St. Paul. /. 1t only
required a change of one vote to de-
eide the question in favor of the West
ern city. That vote was given when,
on the second roll call, Alabama, the
first State on the list, changed her
vote from Louisville to Denver. When
Illinois was reached Roger Sullivan,
committeeman for hat State. with
drew Chicago and voted for Denver.
That determined the matter, and the
second vote stood: Detroit. 80; Louis
vile, IL. Urey Woodson, committee
man for Kentucky, then moved that
the selection of Denver be made unan-
imous, which was done.

BREWERS
AGAINST
RAISE
Big Establishments Oppose
Beer Increase. Reforms
in Saloons.

At a meeting of the New Jersey
Brewers Association. held in the
Union building yesterday afternoon, it
exists among them as to the propriety
Of increasing the price of beer at the
present time. Those said to ppose the
proposition are Ballantine, ~Feigenspan,
Wiedenmayer and Hensler, four of the
largest beer-making establishments in
this city.
Unless these four brewers can be in
duced to join the others, the increase
Of rates will have to be made under
difficulties. Owing TO the system that
prevails, whereby most of the small
dealers are at the mercy of the brewer
by reason of the latter having COM
plete ownership of or mortgages on the
places of business, they can make the
advance On a great many of their $
toners without fear of losing Gus
toners. However. the Independent ones
will naturally buy the product which
they can get cheapest and on the best
terms, thereby making a general ad-
vance a difficult undertaking unless it
can be made reasonably unanimous.
The brewers who nave baked at the
proposition to raise prices are unani-
nous with their brethren in the matter
of cleaning-up the whiskey business, by
which they hope to check the prohibit
ton wave that is spreading over a
large portion of the country, threaten
ing to gain strong foothold in this
State.
There is some difference of opinion
o--z-- 4lo 1, f,trarc &c m how
this should be done, and as to just how
far they should go. However, IL they
work unanimously, they believe they
have the power of enforcing most any
code of ethics or morals that they de-
eide is for the best interest of the bust
ness.
| They hope to be able to rid it of the
law-breaking element, and of the dives
and places that appeal to the worst
class of drinkers, encourage vice and
foster crime. This they hope to do
by refusing to sell to men who do not
preserve a standard of conduct COM
mensurate with the demands of the
best element of the community in their
places.
1t is known hat collectors for the
big brewing establishments have been
telling their customers that if they do
not obey the provisions of the Bishops
law they need expect no assistance from
the brewers IL they get into rouble.
They have been told that If the brew
ers find that they are violating the law
relative to Sunday selling or neglect to
remove screens, they will assist the
authorities in having the offenders pun
ished.
At another meeting both matters,
that of raising prices and that of re-
orming the business, will probably be
taken up in detail, and an effort made
TO reach some equitable basis upon
which to take prompt steps.

POLICEMAN BOWLING
ACTS AS TROLLEY POLE
Made Himself p Human Link When
Car Was Stalled on Rail-
road Track.

People who filed a trolley car were CON
siderably frightened last night when the
trolley pole of the car broke just as the
electric was crossing the spur of the rail
road track in Clinton venue at Badger
avenue. The men In charge OF the car
were new men. and did not understand
how TO move the car off the track.
The whistle of the railroad engine was
heard. and this frightened the occupants
of the car. This is Policeman Dowling's
eport of the affair. as recorded by the ser.
geant in the First Precinct Station:
Trolley car No. 175S, of the Broad
street line, broke down on the railroad
crossing at Clinton and Badger ave-
nues at S:15 o'clock last night. AS both
the motorman and the conductor were
green I took the liberty to climb on
the 'oof. / held the trolley pole, which
had snapped in leaving the wire. with
both hands, and the car got sufficient
power 20 leave the tracks as n freight
train passed WILLIAM BOWLING.
"Patrolman, third grade
The railroad spur which crosses Clinton
avenue at Badger avenue is known as the
West Newark branch of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. On the south side Of Clinton
avenue there is a freight-house. Few
freight trains pass over Clinton avenue ia
or from 1t daily.
The superintendent of the branch said
today tina the last train in either direc-
ton went over it at $40 O'Clock last night.
The railroad company knew nothing Of the
Incident. Residents near the crossing did
not remember a train passing after I
o'clock.

BREWERS RAISE BEER.
New York Retailers Also Likely to
Make 81 Advance.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The brewers OF
New York have decided to raise the price
Of beer a dollar a barrel, in consequence
of which the retailer will do likewise.
Charles J. Warner, the secretary Of the
Brewers Board of Trade. declared yester-
day that no other course was open to the
makers.
EVERY ingredient used in the manufac-
ture Of beer has gone up, and so has the
price Of labor" he said A year ago W.
could get the best malt at sixty-two cents
a bushel. Today it is almost impossible
to get 1t at sl.25. Everything has increased
the past year from seventy to 100 pei
cent and many rewer are operating al
a loss in consequence.
Oats that could be purchased eleven
months ago at thirty-five cents are quoted
in Chicago today at ffty-nine cents, and
the cost of transportation must be added
to that"
Brewers said that the bucket brigades
and those who generally use bottled beer
will be the heaviest taxed.

John Cay.
IF you intended leaving on a sea voy-
age today, and are superstitious, postpone
your departure. II you intended planting
flower bulbs TO bloom in the spring, wait
until tomorrow. If you were about to en-
bark on some business enterprise, see If
you can't wait a day.
For today is Friday. More thar that,
it is the 18th of the month. There is no
use trying to fight against the combina-
ton. The wisdom of ages has proven
that Friday the 18th Is a day of i'll omen.
Woe to the man who, on this day, quar-
rels with his wife. and does not throw
salt over his left shoulder, for that would
but be adding to a combination already
almost irresistible. No good can come of
the day. If it passes and you find your
self unscathed you may return thanks to
your lucky stars.
