Temperance Notes.

What is the only thing in the
world that will make a father
pawn his baby's shoes? Think
well about this before you vote
against the ratification of the
Prohibition Amendment.
We all know that drinking peo-
pie pay their saloon bills before
any other debts. This is fact
a stern, incontrovertable fact of
which every business man is q
witness.
The 'reguIationists" would
cut off a mad dogs tail and for
bid him to bite after eleven O.
clock at night or on Sundays.
The fool Prohibitionists idea of
regulating" o mad dog would
also be to cut off his tail-but
cut it off just back of the ears.
A short time before his tragic
death President Mckinley said:
Every man who votes for l.
cense becomes a partner to the
liquor traffic and all its conse-
quences. Every conscientious
voter who has the interest of his
country and his family at heart,
and who respects his own sense
of honor, should think of this be-
fore voting against the Prohibi-
ton Amendment.
1t is a fundamental fact in the
business world that any business.

Injuries its patrons Injuries the
public. No one can find a single
exception to this rule. The sa-
loon Injuries its patrons. Can
any one deny that? The saloon,
therefore, is injurious to the pub
lie. Can any one deny this con-
clusion? If not, how can we.
consistently license a saloon at
any price?
The liquor people. in their
fight against the Prohibition
Amendment, have hauled down
the "piratical black flag" and
raised the banner of The Tax
payers Protective Association. "
By this means the liquorites are
trying to gain a responsibility
they never had, and to deceive
the people and smooth them
down with the salve of any oily
name. Verify the hand is the
hand of Esau. but the voice is
the voice of Jacob. A respect
able name cannot lend respecta
bility to disreputable business.
nor give creditability to discred-
liable fight. The people are
neither deaf, dumb nor blind.
The liquor people are now bus
ily engaged in organizing local
branches Of their Taxpayers
protective Association" among
the colored people of Mcdowell
County. This Association"
seems to thrive best among
those poor miners down there
who pay no taxes. Strange ism t
it? Why did the rummies begin
organizing their Association"
first in Brewer Schmulbach S
building in Wheeling, then next
among the negroes of the mining
districts? Are those the taxpay-
ers" they want to protect?'
1t won't take the average voter
long to see through this trans
parent fraud.
rs Moral Suasion a failure. "
is the title of a phamplet gotten
out by the liquor press bureau at
Wheeling. Moral suasion has
been a failure largely because
the people have enacted license
laws TO prevent its being a sue
! cess. 1t is these same liquor
dealers who have profted by the
failure of msral suasion. The
people are now getting ready tc
try a little legal suasion." Wher
moral suasion fails in preventing
a thief from stealing, the peo.
pie put him in jail That is wha
they propose to do to the saloor
keepers.
