rection? Members of the coored race do
get whiskey in the South, even in prohi-
bition districts, and If the Bishops reason
ing is good for the North it is also good
for the South. If prohibition is wrong in
the South it is wrong in the North, and the
same argument holds good the other way.
Liberal minded men and women have
long known that the friends of prohibition,
as well as its advocates, do not, as rule,
come from either the Episcopal or Roman
Catholic churches. They come from the
more militant sects of Christian profession
who seem to take an especial delight in
regulating the affairs of their neighbors
but cry stop" the moment those neighbors
attempt to apply little regulation of their
own. The history of prohibition proves its
fmpotency, it's viciousness and undesir-
ability. Leave prohibition to the church
and it will prove the rock upon which it
will immediate itself. Allow Freethinkers
to continue In the advocacy of temperance
and it's superiority will be demonstrated

Chamber and the obseqious doorkeeper,
recognizing the robe, not the man, admitted
him. He took seat which, among others,
had been appropriated by those claiming to
be dukes, whereas, the visitor was simply
posing as a lord. Dukes are of higher
order than lords. This created a con-
troversy and the imposition was discovered

Whether it be true or not we do not

A JOLT FOR BRITISH LORDS.

Most of us have read Mark Twains In
nocents Abroad and we have been tickled
with it's rich humor. We have also read
his Prince and Pauper, and the impressions
made were, in effect, that even the court
iers of the king, including the king and
queen, were unable to discern that Tom
CAVITY was not their own son, bone Of their
bone, flesh of their flesh, and heir to the
throne of England. The peasant, pauper
lad, was compelled to assume the role Of
prince of the realm against his wishes and
because of his repeated protestations and
declarations to the contrary he was deemed
to be afflicted with dementia and a seal
was placed upon the lips of all his attend
ants. We all know, who have read, that
the satire beneath the story was in effect
an argument that prince and pauper were
of flesh and blood alike and to carry 1t
still further, as they were equal at birth an
equality would be established in death.
In his relative position to the universe the
lad, his only distinction came from the
man created custom of permitting kings to
rule over them.
A similar case in point. For generations,
pr since the establishment of the British
parliament, hereditary legislation has been
tolerated, and permitted, through the
medium Of the House of Lords. In some
way or another it was felt that Lord had
been cast in a superior mold. was of an
order higher than the general run of
humanity, and, therefore, entitled to privi-
leges and honor that were denied to the
common people. This notion has been
given jolt, by one, James Parker Roe, an
aspiring Englishman who claims to be
tainted or blessed, we know not which,
with noble lineage and claimed the right

TREAcHERY IN THE HEPBURN BILL.

Continued from page q
ward off the Entertainments OF depotisn
and tyranny. Church and state are not so
far apart in this country as names indicate,
and the plotters are working both to de-
stroy Freethought and Freespeech, without
which there can be no such thing as
liberty in any form. The stealth with which
the Hepburn postal law has been intro
duced and the silence of the associated
press ON the matter is ominious, for by such
sneaking and underhanded means did we
get the Comstock law that has put so many
Freethinkers in living tombs of stone and
iron because they were freethinkers. Only
those who wish to tyrannize over mankind
and to get and to hold unjustifiable privi-
leges, are opposed to freethought and free
speech; only such are working for restrict
i've laws on human action where natural
rights are concerned, and when they are
seen doing these things, self preservation
and the welfare of posterity says resist
them.
Good and evil are always fighting for
supremacy, and under no government can
it's citizens retain the liberties they have
or obtain more without constant effort.
You cannot be off your guard without en-
0angering your rights, for plotters are
sleepless and ready with unpleasant sur
prises il you are; and when you discover
opposition to the free interchange of
thoughts between man and man, you will
find it emanates from grafters with special
privileges, would-be despots, or religious
bigots.
There is a reason for everything, and
those who work in the dark to accomplish
results never did like publicity; and those
who believe in special privileges and
liberty for the wealthy class only, hate an
agtator worse than a religious bigot does
an unbeliever, and all of them want law
Immediately to silence such citizens. But
the man who believes in right and justice
and don't want something for nothing, is
not opposed tn free speech and n free
press, for he defends no system that robs
and Expresses the producer and consumer;
in other words that generates paupers and
millionaries.
If ever the wrongs that prevail In society
are remedied, they will disappear because
of freespeech and free speech paved the
way; and any man who attempts to stand
in the way Of these natural and necessary
rights, is an enemy of his race and a de-
testable character that invites the exc
crations of all mankind who love and de-
sire liberty.

SMILES

Smile little, smile a little,
As you go along,
Not alone when life is pleasant,
But when things go wrong.
Care delights to see you frowning,
Loves to hear you sigh;
Turn smiling face upon her,
Quick the dame will fly.
Smile a little, smile little,
All along the road;
Every life must have its burden,
Every heart it's load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness,
With your grief to SUPP
As you drink Fates bitter tonic
Smile across cup.
Smile upon the troubled pilgrims
Whom you pass and meet;
Frowns are thorns, and smiles are blossoms,
Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder
By sullen face,
Smile little, smile a little,
Brighten up tne place.
Smile upon your undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
Der his task waits wealth or glory;
He who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss or sorrow
In the passing years,
Smile a little, smile a little,
Even through your tears.

"Our little girl was two months old when she got rash on her face and within five days her face and head were all one sore. We used different reme- dies but it got worse Instead of better and we thought she would turn blind and that her ears would fall of'. She suffered terribly, and would scratch until the blood came. At night we had to pin her hands down. This went on until she was five months old, then I had her under our family doc tors care, but she continued to grow worse. Re said it was eczema. When she was seven months old started to use Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, and in three weeks - what a changel kept using the Cuticura Remedies for two months and our baby was a different girl. You could not see a sign of sore and she was as fair as a newborn baby, and all for the small cost of a dollar and seventy five cents where we had spent ten times the money for doctoring., She is now two years old and has not had Q sign of the eczema since.
