Our Gettysburg

From the Northeastern Christian Ad-
Vocate.
Unless the signs of this great hour
are altogether misleading this country
has reached the Gettysburg of another
mighty conflict. Not more significant
was the retreat of Lee with his battle
torn army into Virginia in 1868 than are
the alarmed and retreating forces of the
liquor power in this land in this
good year of 1907.

THE GENTLE BLIND TIGER
From "The Battle of the Bottle" in
The Saturday EVeNing P0St.l

Sandy Bottom was having a barbecue,
ahd Sandy Bottom was awful dry.
"A well-dressed stranger rode up to the
edge of the woods and stopped his
horse in a secluded place. His store
bought clothes and striped shirt con-
tributed to a general air of opulence
and wisdom. Sonny Spriggins had
long neck like a goose. and about as
much curiosity. He sided out of the
crowd to investigate the stranger.
"Howdy?"
"Howdy?" the stranger replied with
a wink, and produced bottle from his
saddle-bags. Want to buy bottle of
tea?" he asked, and then he winked
again, The mystery and adventure riv-
eted Sonny's attention.
How much?" he inquired.
"a dollar a bottle, twenty bottles,
take all or none You see," he ex-
planned confdentially, 81 can't stay here
all day a-sel1in' this kind O tea. Git yo'
friends an buy me out.
Sonny saw the point; he ambled back
to the barbecue and put his friends
next Better not too many O. you
fellers come-jes Skinny an Jim an
me-three's enough" So Sonny and
Skinny and Jim sought out the winky
stranger and bought twenty bottles of
TEA at one dollar per-
Sonny got out his knife and went to
digging at a cork.
"Hold on" suggested the stranger;
wait till I get plumb away"
Sonny saw the point again, and
waited while seventeen other impatient
buyers gathered for the distribution.
The stranger was gone, and Sonny
took deep pull at the bottle. It made
him sick in soul and body-his face
showed it. He dropped his bottle and
sneaked off while the other boys were
pulling out their corks ''It is tea,"
said Skinny.
The others said various things.
>"He tole us to wait till he got plumb
away, an, b'gosh we done itp' Jim
threw his bottle into the creek and
marched back to the barbecue.
Eighteen enlightened citizens followed
him.

The subcommittee was selected
when the new national committee met
for organization Immediately after the

OF Hitchcock insist that more than
half Of the eight members will vote

vocates Of Vorys say that Ave mem.
bers favor the election OF the latter or
OF some man other than Mr. Hitch,
cock. II Is conceded. however. that
the chairmanship depends absolutely
upon the wishes OF Mr. Taft. who has
not publicly expressed any preference
Nevertheless. he has indicated that the
question Ia one OF practical politics
and that no selection will be made for
sentimental reasons.
