rod were gracefully draped over the
chancel railing that had been covered
with rich green foliage. Huge punches

just as they said good bye, Mrs. Behen
threw a bunch of envelopes to the
bridal party Miss Cleona Weather
holt caught the ring, Miss Anna Cren

Only Mooleyville precinct voted wet,
but as it was a county election, the
whole county will remain dry.
Nook and Custer raced for the lowest
PERCENTAGE of wet vote with Nook in
the lead. She had only eight votes in
favor of whisky selling and is therefore
entitled to be called the banner place in

and that the moral question involved
justifles the state in making law alb
solute The same plea would cover an
attempt by the federal government to
impose law on the individual states
forbidding under heavy penalties the
sale of any commodity manufactured
in the states, and yet such an attempt
would be considered an invasion of
the rights of the states. Gunpowder
is made to kill; it is the biggest single
agency in the taking of human life.
Still, what an outcry there would be if
the Congress passed law forbidding
the manufacture or sale of this COM
modify!
The Advertiser, on the other hand,
accepts the situation in the following
paragraph:
Now that we are to have statutory
Prohibition, the law has got to be
enforced. We are glad the Prohibi-
ton organizations are to be continued.
Their influence will go long way
toward enforcement of the law. There,
has been entirely too much intoler-
ance, too much bitterness on both
sides of the question We hope it will
pass away and that all good citizens
will join in an effort to see that Pro-
hibtion does prohibit.

all over the nation, until now the Ii
quor trade is fairly frantic with appre
hension and dread of its DOOM That
means that the time to strike the death
blow, by lifting the ProEibitionists
however fair they may look, can only
temporize with the right solution Of
the question. The only right thing,
and, therefore, the only effective thing
that may be done, is to forbid the
wrong, and elect men to office who
will enforce that mandate This sum-
mons all the men who have promised
that they would join in the movement
when the time came, to action, right
now.
There is now enough enthusiasm and
news of activity on the great subject
to furnish ammunition for the least
active of the men and women who
love the cause, to win supporters.
They have no longer the slightest ex-
cuse to remain idle in the ranks. The
victory hour may be fastened up the
years until it will be only question
of months until the horrible evil is
banished, if the real believers in the
cause will get hold Of the tugs and quit
dragging on the hold-backs.
Now the nation is half awakened on
the grandest moral reform which ever
claimed the thought of man. Why
not have an uprising of the young
people of the Y NJ C. AS, the
Christian Endeavor Societies, Epworth
Leagues, and all the rest of the earn
est-minded young men and women of
the city, state and nation, to pray, and
work, and distribute literature, and
bold great meetings, arousing mighty
enthusiasm for the saving of the suf-
fering. the beaten, the starved, the vic
tins of injustice and oppression, of
slavery and heartbreak, chained to aw-
full punishment by this curse of curses
Let lis get busy. Let the year 1908
see this mighty question swept into
first place in the thought and action

HOW ALABAMA
TAKES 1T

The different ways in which the op-
ponents of Prohibition in Alabama have
taken the passage of the Prohibition law
is illustrated by the utterances of the
Advertiser of Montgomery and the Reg
lister of Mobile. The Register says:
They 1.-THE Registers ideal citizensl
resent state interference in affairs that
properly belong to the individual coun-
ties, just as the Democratic party has
always resented federal interference in
affairs that properly belong to the
individual states. The passing of stat
utory Prohibition is violative of the
right of self-government in local af-
fairs which has always been accorded.
1t will perhaps be contended that the
sale of intoxicants is not local affair,

THE EXCUSE GONE.

The Venango Daily Herald strikes a
true note in an editorial appeal to its
readers. The editorial opens with ref
erence to the fact that thousands of men
have for years been saying, "When the
Prohibitionists have a chance to win l
will no longer delay to vote their ticket"
Assuming that that time has now come,
the Herald says:
Every excuse for apathy or idleness
in this matter has now departed. The
people have awakened tremendously

work the more efficient work will be done
by it. In such an educational society to
free people from idolatry and superstition
lies the safety to the masses, and not
the danger" as she claims. Yes, our
church-all the membership vest power
in their officers and teachers to carry out
the provisions of their constitutions and
bylaws But those elected officers and
commissioned teachers, and even the laws
under which they act are subject to the
will of the church as body. How then
can that body be enslaved by its self?
No danger of it's lapsing into idolatry
and superstition again because its examin-
ing board will require all teachers to
teach under certificate of competency
A lapse in the teaching would cause the
abrogation Of the certificate and COM
mission by that board. To know a fact
is not mental slavery. To unite with
others to enable all who know the same
fact to employ teachers to make it known
to their children is not physical slavery.
True, one can remain out of this So
SiCIy anu save Ills anu leL HIS GILL;
dren grow up in dolatry and superstition
to turn those saved dollars over to those
mistaken teachers, but it is very poor
economy and poor judgment to do so.
The idolatrous churches would never
miss a million like your dropping out.
They would continue to flourish unchecked.
But if that million would then unite with
the Church of Humanity and employ
competent teachers of it's discoveries they
could shake every idolatrous society in
the world from center to circumference.
But of course, if like her, they should
think more of few dollars than the res
cue and preservation of their children
from idolatry, and superstition, and the
general progress of our race to civilization,
then they would remain fossilized dead
beats until they die unmissed by any
body. But they need not think for a mo-
ment idolatrous societies, or any other
kind, will die of grief for them.
