AGGRESSION
BY H. P. FAIRS

To advance the Prohibition cause at this time
it is necessary to at once begin the 1912 cam
paign by expressing our own positive conviction
that we now have the sentiment, and all we need
is capitalization of that sentiment in the bal
1ot-box. Had we but sixty days longer for this
campaign I verify believe we'd be able to run
our Chain vote far above the million mark.
We need to not relax, but redouble all our
energies for a constant, perpetual, aggressive,
persistent and yet kindly, agitation of the ques-

DISCIPLES INDORSE PARTY IDEA
Christian Church in International Convention
Outspoken for Prohibition

New ORLEANS, LA October 2O-(Special cor
respondence)-The great international convention
of the Christian church, otherwise known as the
Disciples, in this city, adopted on Thursday of
last week series of strong resolutions which
were part of the annual report of the Ameri-
can Temperance Board of the church of which
Judge Samuel R. Artman is chairman and DR..
Homer J. Hall, secretary The sixth resolution
of the series says:
"That we adopt as the principles of the Church
of Christ on the temperance question: 1st, To-
tai abstinence for the individual. End, Prohibi
ton for the state and nation. 3rd, A political
party in power committed to this policy of state
and national Prohibition and the enforcement of
all laws"

ANOTHER LIQUOR LIE

Saloon Advocates Flood the Country with
Falsehood About Conditions in Birmingham
BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA October 2S-(Special
espondence) -During the last two or three
weeks, hundreds of newspaper clippings from var-
Gus parts of the country but particularly from Ohio
have been sent to this city with inquiries concern
ing the accuracy of their statements These clip
pings are, almost all of them pretended quotations
from the Birmingham Ne70s, setting forth the al
legged failure of Prohibition in Birmingham and
the terrible caamities that will come upon the
people because of the adoption of the Prohibition
policy.
The piece de resistance of the stuff is long
table of Occupation taxes said to have been
made necessary by the adoption of Prohibition
The liquor dealers and brewers are paying for
the insertion of this matter in daily and weekly
papers throughout the country, for the purpose of
making weight against the Prohibition idea, at
tempting to persuade the people that Prohibition
does not prevent the sale of liquor and that the
loss of saloon revenue necessitates enormous
taxation
There are several important facts in the case
l. The article in question never appeared in
the columns of the Birmingham Meas. That pa
per was the consistent champion of the Prohibi-
ton policy and believes in it and champions it
today, and has again and again called attention to
the highly satisfactory results of Prohibition. The
editor of the paper denounces the publication as
a rank perjury.
II. The occupation tax which exists in this city
was not imposed account of the loss of sa-
loon revenue and existed long before saloons were
abolished. The figures of six years ago, for ex-
ample, are before the writer. In that year, 1902,

PRESIDENT ELIOT RETRACTS
Great Harvard Educator Renounces the Posi-
ton of Moderate Drinker and
License Advocate

BosroN, October Especial correspondence
Last night, presiding at the banquet OF the No
License League in this city, President Chas. w.
Eliot of Harvard University made speech about
which all Boston is agog today. Most OF the
readers of The National Prohibitiomist know
that President Eliot has for several years past
been widely quoted by the advocates of the sa-
loon as a moderate drinker and as defender of
the licensed sale of liquor He is member OF
the executive board of the so-called Committee
of Fifty" whose books, although they have
revealed some most serious facts about the
LIQUOR traffic, have been widely used by the liquor
interests because of their hostile attitude toward
Prohibition.
It was surprise, therefore, to a large number
of his hearers, and even more of surprise to
the thousands of people who reading the
reports of his speech this morning, when DR.
Eliot made two very clear announcements
l. That, although he had all his life been
moderate drinker he is now persuaded, by ser
entifc investigation, that even the moderate use
of alcoholic drinks is prejudicial to physical and
mental health.
H. That, although he was at one time an
opponent of no-license and believed that the
policy was wrong and useless he has come to
understand that it is valuable for public welfare,
and that he believes that in the city of Cam
bridge, where Harvard is located, the no
license policy is we'll enforced and accomplishes
most excellent results; and, further, that he be-
lieves that interference with individualism, to
the extent of prohibiting the saloon, is justified
by public necessity.
President Eliot took occasion to say that he
does not think that absolute Prohibition, to the
extent of making it impossible for people to
obtain liquor in some other way than purchase
at the saloon would be wise, but admitted about
that also he may perhaps change his mind about
that. inasmuch as he has already begun the
process of change

ton with the one purpose and object of get
ting the better element to henceforth vote their
real convictions and express at and through the
ballot-box just what they want this government
to do To this end | suggest the following
plans:
First Insist on every Prohibitionist not only
taking a Prohibition paper himself, but getting
at least ten of his voting friends to take and
read the paper, getting them to pay for it. If he
can, but paying for it himself, if they will not
Also to this end we ought to have national
organ that could be put out, as is the Socialists
paper at the low price of twenty-five to fifty
cents per year.
Second We must adopt Christs plan, which
also seems to be the Socialists idea, of taking
the message to the people, not waiting for them
to come, but going to them on the street corners
and to every school district in our land. To this
end | am going to endeavor to have at least
one meeting in every schoolhouse in Our country
in 1909, and if the Prohbitionists all over the
country will pledge themselves to do this and
then use plenty of literature at such meetings,
will win the day.
These meetings can be conducted and made
interesting by those of Our folks who are not
proficient in platform work, by using the graphic
phone, with speeches of our leaders interspersed
with songs, such as the "Twn Ballots" etc.
In this connection | suggest that the national
committee arrange for the furnishing of graphic
phones for all who willing to hold
meeting per week for our cause.
Third. In order to get in touch and keep in
touch with our workers and our voters, we need
and must have as rapidly as possible, a COM
plete organization in every county of every
state, to the end that we may effectively carry
out the first two suggestions above outlined
It is admitted by politicians of both of the
old parties in this state that if the people would
only vote for what they really want our ticket
would be elected by handsome majority and

years: My, OH My, what a rafting among the

They give six months, year or many years
of the best of service under the proper leader
ship And then they can graduate into the most
capable and broad-minded of our later leaders.
They are available and mean business and their
faith is boundess-faith in themselves and IN
the cause-two essential means to success.
What have they done? There are now many
young men at work in the Prohibition party, the
Anti Saloon League superintendent, assistants,
local option leaders, young lawyers who win out
in their home communities gum-shoers, legisla-
tive organizers ETC., trained in the ranks of the
college Prohibition movement the past few years.
This year alone nearly 200 new young recruits
were sent out into the legislative Prohibition
battles in Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa and in other
work in several more states.
After the great victories for the party in Min
nesota two years ago Mr.. w. g. Calderwood,
secretary of the state committee said, There is
honor enough to go around, but no efforts con-
tributed more to the final results than the loyal,
heroic enthusiastic work of the college men,.
1t will take months to estimate correctly the
service rendered by the seventy-elght college
men during the past summer and tall, IN the
same state, or by the sixty-hve who gave up
their vacation to the cause in Illinois.
On the verge of greater victories it is well to
get a broader insight into the principles of
political science that underlie lasting reform
We must avoid fall-back in interest by being
broad. We should see that there is no room
for such plumbers as followed the anti-slavery
victory Let us have no disgracing carpet-bag
regime Let us re-guard the privileges of our
foreign-born peoples while insisting kindly but
firmly that the brewery and dstillery, no less
than the saloon are not part of American per
sonal liberty, but must be banished eternally
And let us see clearly what present policies tend
to mass the saloons and the saloon-loving people
into communities from which it will be most
difficult to dslodge them and where their raw
ages are greatest on account of the poverty of
the people.
Many of our workers should study the ques-
ton little more broadly this winter, get view
into the resources-look further out, than their
own township, town, residence section" county
or method We need to take the next step dl-
rectly toward these sources The Intercollegiate
Prohibition Association is out for permanent re-
suits enforced by an organized constituency
In brief, the next thing is the last thing over
again:
"a Repeat with greater enthusiasm and
with more money back of them the methods that
brought the greatest actual results the past two
years. Forget everything else.
CO Keep broad minded by reviewing the
principles of social and political reform which
permanent success may be won.

the city of Birmingham raised $1se,ooO from gen
eral property taxes and 100000 from occupation
tax, exclusive of saloon licenses which amounted
to only $4,000. Since Prohibition was adopted
there have been some slight increases in certain
lines of occupation tax, but the increase has nor
been considerable in any case. heavy increase
was not necessary to provide for the small amount
of money Cost by closing the saloons. In point
of fact the large reduction in crime and poverty
which has followed the no-hcense policy will more
than recompense the city for its loss of saloons

Jap Editor in Ireland.

A Japanese editor has been visiting
ireland recently, and telling the Irish
that no Occidental people pleased him
so well as they did. He said he was
much struck by the resemblance
which these two widely separated ISL
and peoples bore to each other
mentally and morally-both having in
common and developed in marked de-
gree, idealism, spirituality, patriotism,
quick-wittedness. impulsiveness, gen.
erosity, warmheartedness, courtesy
and exceeding kindness to strangers,
readiness to resent injustice, and in
ordinate love of fighting for fighting's
sake. We don't know whether the Irish
took all this as compliment or not.
We believe the Japanese editor forgot
one important point of resemblance
between Ireland and Japan, when he
failed to say that the flag of ancient
Ireland was a "Sunburst," and the flag
Of modern Japan a Rising Sum-" prac-
ucally the same idea. If that doesn't
show an affinity, what does?-Sacred

WHAT THE EYES TELL.
A trustworthy. Guide to Ones Dis
position and Character.

Every feature of the human face is
| believed by some person or another to
disclose the character of its owner.
Perhaps the eyes are as trustworthy 4
guide in this respect as there is.
No two pairs of eyes are exactly
alike, and it would be impossible 70
give any fixed set of rules for thus
| reading character. A person must rely
upon his own judgment for that. Be
low, however, are given a few general
hints on the subject.
Large, clear blue eyes usually denote
sensibility of character and a capacity
and willingness for work. Their owner
is also likely to be fond of enjoyment,
jealous and often inquisitive.
Owners of deep set eyes receive i'm
pressions accurately and definitely.
Great thinkers usually have had sold
gray eyes. for gray is the color of
shrewdness and talent. Eyes of this
description generally denote better
heads than hearts.
Green eyes occur more frequently in
women than in men,. Tncy denote
courage, energy and pride. Occasion
ally they accompany a jealous, venge-
full disposition.
Black eyes are difficult to read. They
often show a quick disposition and
sometimes are treacherous.
Round-eyed persons are not great
thinkers. They are open-hearted OBJ
servant and often inclined too much to
luxury.
People with narrow eyes see less.
think more and feel with greater in
tensity.
Brown eyes denote loving though
judicious temperament.
Women with light brown eyes are
fond of gayety, shrewd and often of
conquettish sposition.-Exchanga
