The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-23
THAT LIST OF GIVERS: WHAT 1T
MEANS
MEANS

Considered in itself, there is nothing ess
pecially inspiring about a list of names, no
matter how long it may be; but the list
which we publish elsewhere in this paper
this week, containing the names of more
than two thousand Prohibitionists who have
already pledged to the financial support of
the national committee in the campaign of
1908 is both impressive and inspiring. Here
is great company of men and women, few
of them rich, many of them peoplerin
humble circumstances, all of them so i'm
pressed with the Importance of the great
cause for which the Prohibition party stands
that, without the hope of cent of valuable
return, as sheer gift, they are laying down
thousands of dollars for the prosecution Of a
political campaign which, from the stand
point of the politician, has for years been
considered as hopeless as hopelessness. sem
The sight may well make any thoughtful
citizen pause to consider sis~
There must be something real, something
tremendously important, about a cause
which can command such devotion. tits
all the more impressive when we remember
that most OF these people have been giving
for years, some of them for decades, and
that their enthusiasm and courage and faith
are just as high today as ever
Were the outlook of the Prohibition party
as inscrutable and cloud-curtained as it has
been at some times in the past, this exhibiz
ton of faith and courage would of itself bg'

THE BREWERS THREAT OF CIVIL
WAR


Chicago's "whisky rebellion has taken
another step in its defiance Of law and Amer
lean institutions. On Sunday, January 10,
the speakers of the so-called Omitted So
cieties" outdid themselves in their former
reckless ranting and openly threatened armed
resistance to the laws of the state of Illinois
In meeting at Schoenhofen Hall, one, Emil
dorchester, who, by the way, is deputy
sheriff of Cook county, said
"In 1856 l was in Louisville, where the Ger

We are fighting with ballots now, but 7ve can use
bullets again"
At the same meeting Nicholas Michaels,
raging against the prohibition wave" as a
revival of the Shareholders rebellion" de-

"Our fathers died on the battlefield in defense
OF liberty and personal rights of the slaves. We
aOH do as mach for our oa0n liberty"
In beautiful harmony with these ranting
utterances of these brewery-paid, beer-in-
spired rebels is the editorial declaration of
the Chicago Daily Journal of last Friday:
Chicago is a community of more than two
million persons, of whom two thirds are of for
eign birth the children of foreigners 1t has
the right to govern ITSELF to make its own laws"
The editorial in question was in comment
upon another instance of a Chicago jury re-
fusing to convict a saloonkeeper who con-
fessedly had violated the laws of the state.
In the matter of foreigners it behooves
us all to speak with moderation and in the
light of well-known historic facts. All of us
who now inhabit these states of the Union,
with the exception of the little handful of
native Americans whom we call Indians"
are, in certain sense, foreigners or of for
eign parentage Yet certain principles and
customs, traditions and laws have been so
long associated with the civilization that has
grown up in this country that they are prop
erly considered American.
