LET US NOT FORGET.

Against the prohibition move anent tn ir is being formed vast Federation of all the liquor inter tests in America 1t is expected khat this federation will include the representatives Of the 3,632 Fistilleries and breweries, the 17,111 wholesale houses and the .225, 1000 saloons-a business that pays an annual tax to the gov ernment Of S2O7, ,124, 900.
 { You will, 1 think. agree that that this is to be a struggle be- tween organized forces. Truly. as some one has sai1, it is to be a monstrous, incon e.vatle de ltl rgrapple such as the world has never witnessed" We have al- ways known it it was no child's play Only faith born of that divine conviction that Goi is omnipotent, and that He will not have His wor T return to Him void, but will have it accomplish that whereunto it is sent; and believing that He meant what He said when he declared: They shall not hurt or destroy in my mountain; for the earth shall be tull of the knowledge of the Lord hs the waters cover the sea-" fould have induced us to enter Oattle against such a foe
 The liquor federation has in deed learned it's tactics of war fro it's enemy. It is sending out tons of literature among the far mers of the country, and to read it. one not acquainted with the real condition of affairs would think the whole business world, and the government besides, were dependent on the liquor business Cor their success. TO one acquainted with conditions it is simply disgusting in it's arrogant claims and it's many false state ments. 1t has millions to put in it's campaign of education." as they call it. We have men and women of heart and hope and faith. with money, too, and above all with the powers of heaven as their inspiration and director, and so with confidence, they turn their faces like a flint to the ene- my knowing that victory will be theirs.

Missouri's Opportunity At The
National Corn Show.

The fact that the State of Mis-
souri, won more than her share of
prizes in the Agricultural Exhibit
at the Omaha Exposition in 1898.
is an indication of what the Mis-
souri, farmer can do when he is
given the opportunity. The Ma
ti0nal Corn Show which will be
held in Omaha, December 9th To
10th. will give Missouri another
chance to show what the State can
produce. Every loyal Missourian
should feel that it is his duty TO
aid in whatever way possible in the
showing that the State will make
at this time. The fact that the
season has been unfavOrable for
corn thus far should only cause us
to redouble our efforts in this di-
rection since il will be impossible
for Missouri to make the showing
that she should unless our farmers
give more than the usual attention
| to this matter.
A large list of premiums has al
ready been prepared for the best
exhibits Of corn, oats, wheat grass
es. etc, and il is quite time that W,
were making our preparations TO

who have good grain in the straw
