period, not only would the North and South
have come together in new Union, in the spirit
of brotherhood in which GRANT and LEE clasped
hands at Appomattox, but with such leader
the new nation would have freed itself of the
worse slavery of drink, long decades ago.
There is peculiar fitness that we seize the
celebration of the birthday of such man as the
day on which to make the greatest stroke in the
reforms history toward accomplishing the work
that was dear to him.
The proposition is simple 1t is just this That
every reader of The National Prohibitionist, in
so far as such service comes within the range
of his or her possibilities, utilize the anniversary
day of LINcoLNs birth, Wednesday, February 10,
for the securing of the largest number of sub
scriptions to The National Prohibitionist that it
is possible to obtain
Of course, this does not mean that work prior
to that date is to be intermitted or in any way
neglected; it centralizes and focalizes efforts

indeed, zvH this be the gramdest the zvorld shall
ever haze seen.-ABRAHAM LINCOLN, February
22, 1872.
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-30

The proposition made last week to celebrate the
nnety-ninth anniversary of the birth of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN by a splendid dash in the "Great For
ward Movement" to put The National Prohibi-
t'on'st, as the foremost representative of the
greatest reform of modern times into the homes
of thousands of the American people, meets with
cheering approval everywhere, and the enthu
siasm of our workers has led to the decision to
place the matter before all readers in this promi-
nent fashion
Of the fitness of such a work for the celebra-
ton of such day no one can for moment
question. Of all the great men of American his
tory man was ever more uncompromisingly
the enemy of the drink curse than LINCOLN no
saw its peril to the nation more clearly
Born in Kentucky, less than a year after the
first temperance society was organized in New
York, in a day when total abstinence was still
rare he became total abstainer Enlisting in the
early Prohibition movement in Illinois, his adopt
ed state, he served enthusiastically, until the
the question of national union overshadowed it.
Scarcely had the guns of the Civil War ceased
to thunder when his mind reverted again to
the intermitted struggle and the very morn
ing of the day when the act of drunken fool
inflicted upon both North and South the most
terrible disaster of all the bloody years of the
war, wrestling with the great problem of
building the nation, he announced as the "next
great question" for solution the liquor traffic
many of the dire disasters of the reconstruction

man National Prohibition Committee.
upon that day to give us all the inspiration of
great united effort
There are just two things, perhaps, that need
to be said
lhe first is statement of the necessity: There
never was day in the reforms history when
the Prohibition paper so vital necessity as
it is today. With the liquor traffic rallying to
spend its millions to deceive the people, with
uncounted pages of the daily press spreading
tasehood and Misrepresentation abroad the re-
form cannot make its way save it be championed
by journal of unquestionable ability, resstless
power and universal circulation The very fact
that there are other papers which today begin
more or less, to present something of Prohibition
information, the very fact that new alinements
are expected, makes it necessary that there shall
be- everywhere throughout the country a central
rallying point that will not swerve nor falter
but will keep the standard full high advanced
every moment.
The second thing that needs to be said is
word of incentive: Let us take for illustration
the Salvation Army Comparatively few, poor
ostraczed to an extent, that organization by its
special days, its weeks of self-denial its rally
ing for united effort on the part of its wide
scattered forces, has made itself one of the might
lest of engneres for good in the world and
has belted the earth with its centers of power
With devotion and an earnestness that any
where nearly approach the devotion of the Sal
vationist, the Prohibtiorists who read this paper
can make the twelfth day of February count for
an advance before which the saloons power of
hell will tremble-and not only tremble but
crumble
Now, for practical items:
l. Take every subscription that you can get
every day, between and February To-
2. Send in subscriptions, preferably in groups
of five, every subscription accompanied by the
money to pay for it, just as fast as you can
3. Avail yourself of the 6O-cent rate which we
give to all workers. The regular price of this
paper is $1.Oo per year, and you are comforting
favor upon any man to whom you sell years
subscription to it at that price, but we give you
the 6O-cent rate to help you pay your expenses.
4. If you want to buy in advance Post Card
Subscription Certificates send $500 for fve each

Occupancy of Mining Claims

The mere placing of a tent and few tools and small supply of provisions upon placer mining claim are not suf- ficient alone and of themselves to con- stitute possession. But where pros hector has in such good faith tempor- arily gone away from his claim for the purpose of purchasing supplies or pro- visions or for any other temporary purpose, intending to return and re- sume his actual occupation, possession and labors, such temporary absence IS not to be construed as an abandonment ment to bis rights to the ground, ana that one of his rights to the claim, ana another entering upon the claim during such temporary absence could not ln- itiate any right thereto.-Charlton vs. Kelly, Alaska; 156 Federal 433.

A Little Mistake

Lady Con the Metropolitan railway London)-Please, sir, will you help me get out at the next station?
 Gentleman-Why, certainly, ma'am.
 Lady-You see, sir, it's this way. Be- ing rather stout, have to turn around and get out backward, and the porters always think am getting in, so they push me back into the carriage and say, "Hurry up, ma'am." I've passed four stations that way already.-Suc- cess Magazine.
