The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-16

Who says Prohibition is a failure?
The men who want it to fail; the men
who are organizing everywhere and
contributing vast sums of money to de-
feat it the men who break the law, who
sneak their outlawed traffic over the dry
line in disguised packages, falsely la
beled bottles and lying bills of lading.
These "disinterested' witnesses are loud
est in proclaiming the failure of Irohi
bition
The president of the Distillers' Sc
curity Company gives out statement
during the week that "long experience
shows that Prohibition always increases
the consumption of drink" and that
same day his company cut the custom
ary dividend to its shareholders by too
thirds. Whisky stocks have dropped Al
points on the New York market since
january, 1907. If Prohibition increases
the market, in view of it's widespread
extension those twelve months, why did
not the stocks rise and the dividends
increase?
Why all this alarm in the whisky and
beer journals over this widespread Eek
tension" of their trade by Prohibition?
Why are the ice men, and brewery
supply men, and bar fixture and ma
ci1inery men organizing and soliciting
contributions to help the liquor inter
ests defeat the advancing tide of Prohi-
hilton (which threatens to engulf us"
The answer is plain enough. 1t is
because they see in this rising tide OF
Prohibition the end of the saloon.
~ do not mean local Prohibition.
1hat will never end the saloon, be-
cause it leaves untouched the brewery
and the distillery. No local method that
will leave the people of ward or town
or county at the mercy of such an o.
ganized body of anarchists as the max
ers of beer and whisky confess them
selves to be, will ever settle the liquor
question.
The people will not be satisfied with
local endeavor The South tried that
ior years, and the anarchist saloon CEN
tered in the large cities and resorted to
every trick and device of perdition to
subvert the law, until the outraged peo
pie extended the boundaries of the pro-
hibitory law from town to county and
county to state. And it will keep on
extending for the same reasons, until
the dry line will cast its anchor on the
east in the Atlantic, on the west in the
Pacific, and run another from Duluth
Ia the Gulf
\ Chicago paper illustrates the ex-
tension of local Prohibition territory
with a cartoon entitled Backing the
devil off from the map" We are in
favor of that, because we recognized the
aet that in every great reform the
.i,vl does lot of backing before he
turns tail and runs But what we want
TO put the devil on the run, face for
ward; and nothing but national Prohi-
htiou in the hands of its friends, 7olH
do that
In spite of saloon anarchy, on the in
side and outside, local Prohibition has
proven marked success when it is COM
pared with any other method of dealing
with the saloon.
Who says it is a success?

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1908-08-13

Lee Davis, of Warren was in the
city, Saturday and almost called it
a lost day, because it was his third
day. he is R. F. D.. carrier, away
from his work in nearly four years.
Mrs. D. Phillips, of near Philadel-
phia, was in the city Saturday en-
route to Kansas City. Her fourteen
year old son while climbing a fence
several weeks since, shot himself
in the hand. They were going to
Kansas City to have an operation
performed on the hand.

Card of Thanks.

We take this method of thanking
ALI friends and citizens for the valu
able assistance rendered us during
the destruction of our home by fire
last week. James Smith.
Henry Elzea of Hannibal, has
been visiting his brother, Samuel
Elzea, who is 81 years old. He told
us: Brothers sands of life are near
ly run. A few days ago a blood
vessel in the throat was ruptured
and was likely to cause his death
at any moment. ~

GREAT BIG FAIR
Is What Manroe City Has Aug 1908

OF the numerous good fairs held
in Monroe City that Of August 1903,
easily leads the past.
1t opened Tuesday with record
breaking attendance for first day.
Listen, one hundred and ten
flyers on the grounds and twenty
five in the city because of lack OF
stall room. The other stock here is
good.
Tuesdays races in quality sur
passed anything ever on the Mon
roe track and the show rings were
good. Hannibal sent a great crowd
yesterday but Palmyra, well, she
does not seem inclined to return our
visits although goodness knows we
always give ten to one for what we
ever received.
There was one display there by a
home factory. We refer to the four
first-class well finished wagons
made by Pierceall & Drescher.

Campaign Badge.

Political campaigns cause freak
bets and agreements. While things
we're warm Sam G. Demaree a
supporter of Cowherd and Price
Young a hot Ball member agreed
If the primary went for Ball,
Demaree was to wear a Ball badge
until the November election and if
it went for Cowherd, Young was to
wear a Cowherd badge until the
election. OF course has lost and
now Sam insists on Price wearing
a Cowherd badge 6x10 inches in
size.

Went Down.

The Sodality team at last went
down before its old adversaries, the
Greenwood team.
They played Sunday afternoon at
the Christian park, the score being
7 to 4 in Greenwood's favor.
The state primary is over and
there are none to regret that it is
passed. Of course there will be
many temporarily disappointed by
reason of the result. but this would
be true whoever won, when there is
a sharp contest. There is but one
way to do in politics and that is to
look pleasant whether you win or
lose. 1t is a game of chance and
you must make up your mind to
take defeat good humoredly. Just
who will win the nomination all
along the line it is too early to say
1t has been left to all the people to
decide and their decision is final
and should be cheerfully abided by
and Endorsed. Some one must lose
and every one must do as they
would expect to do in case you were
the winner.--Moberly Democrat.

Simmons For The Ticket.

We acknowledge having been
fairly defeated for the Democratic
nomination for acknowledgement
and have no complaint nor eX-
PLANTATION to offer save we did not
get enough votes. We ran the best
we could on our limited amount of
finance. There is not a sore place
upon our political body and we
bear no enmity toward a single
Missouri Democrat. It is our earn
est desire to see the Missouri De-
mocracy triumph at the November
election and to see William j.
Bryan carry the state by an Old
time majority, and he Mysterious
Stranger" banished forever from our
borders.
During the campaign we travel
ed some with each of the guberna-
torial candidates and formed a high
opinion Of each. AS to the nomi-
nee, we learned to admire him and
formed a close attachment to him
personally. He is a true gentleman
in every sense of. the word and it is
our opinion formed from close per-
sonal contact, that he will be indie
pendent and fair in the conduct of
his office. Mr.. Cowherd is a city
man, but is a sturdy, unassuming
gentleman and is a true friend of
the great mass of the people. He is
an organizer and campaigner of
great ability and has few equals
upon the stump. With COwherd as
governor the law-abiding people of
Missouri need have no fear. The
dignity of the state will be main
tanned and the laws steadtastly en-
forced. We hope every Democrat
in Missouri who gave us his sup
port, and the only regret we have is
that there were not more, will rally
to the ticket. They cannot please
us better than by throwing theil
hats in the air for the nominees
We are ready to 90 anywhere anC
do anything to assist in the election
