 This step was taken in spite of the receipt of private letters from Port of Spain declaring that bacterIlogical examinations of rats there showed the existence of the plague among the animals. It is considered particularly hazardous because should the plague make Its appearance here. 1t would complete the ruination of the colony and make more difficult and compli- cated any possible action on the part of the Dutch government against Venezuela.

was for blameless son of the church, man
whose work has been in close touch with the
church, a man whose church associations, as
we'll as religious character, are above suspi-
cion-it was for such a man to utter the
startling truths that Mr.. HOWARD uttered
and the ministers of Rochester listened to on
Monday of last week. This is not the criti-
cism of an outsider; this is not the carping
of someone with grudge or grievance; it
is the thoughtful, earnest word of man
whose heart and soul have been bound up in
the church
Of course there will be, in certain quar-
tiers, the disposition to deny and to denounce
Mr.. HOWARD. 1t seems to us that nothing
could be more unwise. At an hour like this,
instead of denial, we need thoughtful ques-
tioning. If these things be true, what shall
be done to meet the situation thus created p
that is the question for the church and
churchmen to discuss.

and Kansas and North Dakota, the public
officials have connived with law-breakers to a
shameful extent. In all of these states the
professional politician and the political news
Tapers have sold themselves to the liquor in
Iterests.
The fatal mistake made by those who be-
lleved In Prohibition in these states lay in
their neglect to put in power a Prohibition
party. The Prohibition law was adopted but
Its enforcement was left either to avowed
Observation-Disclosures or to sympathetic" peo-
pie whose political interests lay with ma
tlonal party committed to AUTHORIZATION.
The southern states may we'll profit by this
example. Either complete regeneration of
!. the Democratic party in the whole country
must take place, or the South must cease to
owe allegiance to national party that is
hand-and-gove with the drink power and
put the relns Of it's state government in the
hands Of the Prohibition party.
A failure to bring this to pass will, sooner
or later, mean the notification or repeal of
the Prohibition laws over which the whole
country is now rejoicing
We have no expectation of the regeneration
OF the Democratic party nationally In our
Judgment the South will find its only saliva
ton in marching out of the Democratic
camp, where it has nothing Of common in
terest with the men who are in real party
control-the thugs of New York and Chi
cago-and pitching it's political tent in the
clean camp of the party that champions the
issue in which the South is today so vitality
Interested
The South belongs in the Prohibition
party; the Prohibition party is today the only
party that can serve the real interests of the
South.

AND THEN WHAT?

Elsewhere IN this paper there will be
found reproduction of a circular which is
being widely sent out by the liquor interests,
making extravaganza and untruthful claims
for the business of manufacturing intoxicat-
ing liquors, along the line of its alleged i'm
portance to the farmers and workingmen of
the country With the reproduction of the
circular appears critical review of it's state
ments IN which many of it's errors are
pointed out. It is the purpose here to en-
phaslze one or two important features of the
case.
Let us start out with admitting for argu-
ment's sake, the accuracy of the liquor deal
er's claims. Let us admit that he buys of
the farmers every year to the value of some
one hundred and twenty millions of dollars
OF farm products Che does not do it, but let
us not argue about that now ;let us continue
to admit, again only for the sake of argu-
ment, that he pays laboring men almost
ffty-five million dollars and that his pur-
chases from general sources turn into the
hands OF the producer the immense sum of
money that he would have us believe to be so
expended.
Admit it all, and then what?
Suppose that the farmer does find in the
brewery and in the distillery market for
large part of his grain. Is it worth WHILE
from the highest, broadest standpoints, to
use his grain fields to raise He'll?
Z That, from any standpoint of sound NOR
ais, were answer enough to the whole argu
ment, so far as it concerns the farmer. The
liquor dealers document is an immoral doc
ument, when it appeals to one class of the
public to serve their own interests by helping
to do damage to their fellow citizens.

HOWARD'S PROPHETIC MESSAGE

Seldom, it seems to us, has any utterance
addressed to the representatives of the Chris
tian church rung with force more nearly
apostolic and prophetic than the utterance
of CLINTON N. HOWARD addressed to the
ministers of Rochester and published else
where in this paper. Many men could not
have said the things that Mr.. HOWARD said !;
many men should not have said them. 1t

THE CANTEEN

The pro-canteen liar is sorroWfully wend-
ing his weary way among the newspaper Of
fices of the country, occasionally getting
little notice for his misrepresentation and
little hearing for his mendacious and oft-ex-
posed nonsense. Once in a great while some
paper gravely informs it readers that a
"strong effort is to be made to induce Con-
gross to repeal the foolish anti-canteen law"
A recent letter from reader, excited by
the appearance of one of these made-to-order
editorials in some daily paper, inquiries why
we do not "throw ourselves into the breach"
to fight the canteen as we FUSED to fight it."
The answer is very simple. The canteen
fight has been won. The institution is out
lawed and discredited. The shoulder
strapped place-holders around Washington,
who have covered themselves with falsehood
in their effort to restore the military saloon,
are known and read of all we'll informed men
to be just what they are-convicted liars
There is hardly one chance in a thousand
that, with the Prohibition agitation swelling
on all sides as it is, with the Prohibitionists
laundering at the Capitol door, the canteen-
ers will get the slightest attention in Con-
gress, though perhaps the Secretary of War
will secretly lobby in their behalf and the
President will be known to be upon the
brewers side
The restoration of the canteen, considered
in itself alone, we should look upon as a
calamity, but from some points of view we
actually would be glad to see the majority in
Congress mad enough, with that blind mad
ness that precedes destruction, to put the mill
tary saloon again in operation. We mistake
the temper of the American people, if it
would not be easy to bury the Republican
party, not only deep, but face dowm, if it
should be guilty of that atrocious folly.

THE NATIONAL PRoHIB1TIoNIsT

close against himself the enormous market
OF the thousands upon thousands of homes
where the saloon commands deprivation, poor
and seanty living?
One need only look at the change which
comes in the living of family when the
father and provider forms the drink habit
rulnously, or the contrary change that comes
when drinking man goes to spending his
wages or salary for the support of his fam
lily instead of feeding the gin-miller, to I'M
derstand the force of this.
Is 1T worth while, too, for the laboring
man, for the sake of the paltry ''job'' that the
liquor manufacturer offers, to perpetuate a
system that irrecoverably ruins an army of
laborlng men every year and blights their
homes and families? Was there ever more
brutal proposition than the proposition
which the liquor dealer makes to the laboring
man-that he should keep the chance to earn
the brewers and distiller's dirty dollars at
the expense of the bodies and souls of his
fellow laborers?
Of course, we do not need to make the
argument along this line. It is susceptible
of abundant proof that, were the liquor bust
ness removed, the handling of the food and
other products that would be demanded by
the increased expenditures of the people and
would be provided by the field and the fac
tory, would employ labor even better than it
is now employed.
Is it worth while for the laboring man,
that he may earn the few dollars that give
the brewer or the distiller the chance to
steal millions in dishonest profits, to close
against himself the opportunity of providing
the necessities, the comforts and the Injuries
of life for the homes from which those mil
lions are stolen?
Or take into consideration for a moment
the question of the revenues Admit their
magnitude without argument, but turn and
soberly ask the people of the United States !:
Is it worth while, for the sake of allowing
the brewer and the distiller and the gin
miller to collect few millions of dollars of
revenue from the people (for, mind you, it
is merely collected from the people, is it
worth while to pay into their hands, in re-
turn for no valuable service, for no commod-
tiles of use furnished, two thousand million
dollars, every year9
The liquor interests have made their
strongest plea and it has no soundness in it
not word which should appeal with force
to an intelligent and thoughtful citizen. The
scheme is audacious in its conception; it is
being audaciously carried out; it has behind
it organization and wealth, almost beyond
computation. It will deceive some; it will
confuse the minds Of some of the great jury
of the people for a season. But, when the
American people as a whole have weighed it
carefully, they will pronounce it "incompe-
tent, irrelevant, inadmissible" and proceed
to put in execution the judgment that has
