MY ProhlDltlon TRENDS are prone
to giving statistics" in proof
that ''the demon rum" is respons-
ible for nearly all the crimes that
curse the body social. They han
die figures with the same familiar
confidence that the iuggler does
his balls, and ever does the pro-
duct answer to the sum desired.
Does a Christian fall from grace
through eating the forbidden ap-
pie? Rum was the tempter. Does
some up-to-date Lochinvar run
away with a maiden fair, upset.
ting the desires Of her parental
progenitors? Rum is chauffeur.
Does a president bust his bank in
"~promoting?" The odor of Rum
clings to its vaults, and fills their
emptiness with fearful contem-
plation. If steamboat blow up,
Rum is in its hold, and when a
train goes through a broken
bridge, or an epidemic of diph-
liberia desolates the homes-in
each and every instance, your
true Prohi will digger" it-statis-
ticate it out that had it not been
for the Demon Rum none of these
evils could possible have eventu-
ated. Therefore, you may credit
me when | say that l Am amazed
at the following perverted statis-
tics put forward by the National
Independent, seeking to prove that
where Rum is barred from enter
ing, crime, casualty and wick
edness do nevertheless prevail.

they may be disproven-nothing
doubling their fate when a compe-
tent Prohi "figgerer" takes them

THE FATE OF GUFFEY.

Out west here, where the Standard
Oil and al its workings find mighty
little favor the fate that met one Colo
nei James Guffey of Pennsylvania is
viewed with considerable satisfaction.
Guffey had thimble-rigged the Pennsyl-
vania delegation so as to control it in
spite of the primary. laws and all the
common rules of fair politics. and he
had been accustomed to running things
his own way at home so long he
thought national convention would be
easy. s.E
Before the convention met. Mr.. Bry
an had told the anti-Guffey delegates
remarking among other things that
Guffey was bushwhacker, Guffey re-
torted in violent language, denouncing
Bryan. Most naturally. MIR. Bryan OBJ,
jected to having Guffey on the. national
committee, where he would be in posi-
ton to betray the party and its candi-
date. and the Issue was made in the
convention before the committee on
credentials. Although some of the
strongest eastern delegations stood by
the Pennsylvania. he lost his contest,
and the rollers were put under him and
his bogus delegates with the utmost ce-
lerity. The result is to throw Guffey
ont of the national committee. give his
opponents control of the Pennsylvania
delegation. and qualify him for the
junk pile as a political wreck.
AS a. matter of fact, Guffey and his
kind belong in the Republican party
Politics with them is not matter of
principle at all; Democracy and Repub-
licanism are exchangeable terms repre-
senting opportunity for barter and prof.
il. IL they found it to their advan-
tage to betray Bryan in the coming
campaign II wouldn't take three min
utes 10 make the deal. The sitting
process which has eliminated their class
from Democratic counsels has gradual
ly sent most of them to the aid of the
opposition, where they belong; and
Guffey's departure about finishes the
job. If he had any notion of the pro-
prieties he would have stepped out of
his own accord; but, lacking any such
notion. he has gotten exactly what was
coming to him.

fighters and their entertainers.
Then the noses of the battleships
will be headed toward Alden, Arabia,
and after that, by easy stages, through
the Suez canal into the Mediterranean.
Off Gibraltar it is proposed to combine
our fleet with a great British fleet and
afford the people fortunate enough to

spectacle the world has ever known.
And at last the ships will sail due west
until they reach their own land once
