uuuIe-makers. Who could denv that
the liquor traffic was driving women
TO work in factories. in workshops,
and at Washtuhs who ought not to be
there? The trade union movement
was opposed to child labor. yet who
could deny that the liquor traffic was
driving into industrial life boys and
girls who should be in the school or,
on the playground? The liquor traffic
tended to decrease wages, never to
increase them. The use of alcohol
made workmen less skilIful. and drovef
men to lower scales of employment
and reward. Every cent spent in the
liquor business was wasted. bringing
no social benefit or moral uplift."
Said President Lewis, who believes
that the trade unions are doing more
for the cause Of temperance than any
other institution in the world"
IF you want to know where the
miners OF America stand upon the
temperance question, I'll tell Won. In
our constitution we have clause
which forbids any member to sell in
toXicants even at a picnic. That's
what we think of the liquor traffic.
Some people say that the saloon ia al
necessary evil. don't believe in that
Kind of doctrine. / don't believe that
legislation alone will eradicate the
traihc. Nothing but the spread of ed.
ucation will accomplish that
the Christian churches are estab-
lished for the purpose of renlacing
paganism with Christianity; the trade
union movement ia organized To edu.
cate the people. TO drive out igno.
rance, and elevate the toilers of our
land. Because the liquor traffic tenda
to enslave the people. to make them
satisfied with improper conditions
and keep them ignorant. the leaders
OF the trade union movement are
called on to fight the saloon Lit.

All doubt as to the attitude of union

more to bring misery upon innocent
women and children than the money

No man has a hit to spend a

workingman does not yet earn enough

THE DANGERS OF BoLTING

A number of the insurgent newspapers
OF the state arS urging insurgents to vote
against Martin and Burke, the staIwart
nominees for congress, and in favor of
the democratic nominees. Among the
newspapers taking this position is the
Canton Leader. edited by Col Linn, who
is an appointee of Governor Nessey.
Should the advice be continued, it
would give great offenSe to the SlaIwarts
of the state, and they might be tempted
to retaliate. Col. Linn should not
overlook the fact that Mr.. Burke secur.
ed 33,254 votes in The late primaries,
which was 1882 more than Governor
Wesley received. by what right does
Col. Linn assume that the people did
not know what they were doing when
they nominated Mr.. Burke, but that
Governor Vessey is the real choice Of
the republicans? The insurgents who
are openly advising the cutting of thC
stalwart nominees for congress, are
tempting fate, because Governor Vessey
can not begin to be elected governor
without the stalwarU vote, and if party
loyalty is not binding on the insurgents
it might also not be binding on the
stalwarts. Boiling is a double edged
sword, aud Governor Vessey's Canton
appointee, along with others, should
realize this. Sioux Falls Argus Leader.

Unable to Tell the Truth.

There are many interesting develop
ments as the drink habit becomes
more and firmly fixed. One is the loss
of veracity. The head of an inebriate
asylum says they have to take away
all money, jewels and other valuables
from the inmates so they will not use
them for buying drink. Buy It they
will and then conceal it and lie abonr
It.
Rum drinking and lying go together
for the influence of drink is to bring
not only physical but moral ruin. The
sense of veracity is especially hard to
restore, but there can be no genuine
and permanent reformation without

"WORLD NEEDS SAFE

Little Rock, Dec. 14. What the world needs now is a safe and sane Christmas, states Henry Sims Hartxog, president of Ouachita College, "just as much as we need sane and safe Fourth of July. 1 walk down the streets of Little Rock in the afternoon, or visit the shops, and find people there on the run, ner. vous women almost fighting their way to counters, and more ner- vOus woman behind the counter trying to satisfy the customer. It looks to ne like it is travelling ten miles over a rough road to get cinder path of 100 yards at the end over which the vehicle very rapidly passes. It is a question if the little enioyment secured out of Christmas is worth the price. We should be more simple in our celebration of Christmas and it will sometime become that way"
