readily acknowledge the dseputabe character many dens
in which liquor soldfor the very appearance of
sufficiently revolving convince themselves-but
they out boldly meetings of their various
tons, and say all earnest "The low dive go;
make the saloon desirable" And wonder of wonders
they have succeeded making good people be-
ieve that the saloon may possibly be made respectable
that the temperance reormers we'll join them in this
laudable effort! Be remembered that the of the
drunkards starving family in way abated by the

Is This Libel?

When the people OF GRANVILLE voted Tor saloons,
and made that city plague spot in White county,
expressed ourselves freely that were accused
of lbelng every man, and child in the city of
GRANVILLE which not true, but we did express our
contempt for the pharsaical hypocrites who for the
sake of revenue stood idly by while the devil mar
shaed his forces for the capture Of that fair city.
For two years GRANVILLE has been menace to the
people of White county, source of evil Influences
She has fostered institution that posons the soul
of She has been the author of poverty, shame
and crime For sake of revenue the people of Gray
vile sgmatized themselves and brought disgrace to
White county, broke the heart of womanhood and
damned her young manhood. GRANVILLE took the
cursed blood money enjoyed it, feasted and saved
taxes-and then became gorged, sick and repentant.
She has had enough She is done with saloons.
She prefers honor and a good name to revenue. She
that manhood is worth more than tax money. She
has driven the devil from her streets. She once more
stands erect and claims the respect of She
raises her face toward Heaven, and God once again
kisses it with the sweet sunshine of His love-and
say Amen
Homes Will Be Desolated and Hearts Broken.
The devil hasn't been driven from White county
He has gone back to his old camping ground at the
county The people of Carmi about to take
him into their bosoms. They will give him the glad
hand. They too want revenue. They prize it above

churches line up this fight? If with the cooperation
of 1000 churches the AntSaloon League has been
able to the results have enumerated above
what could it not do with the cooperation of 1000
churches? Isn't this, after ALL the gst of the whole
matter? Doesn't the outcome, after ALL depend upon
the united action of the churches?
Follow Your leadership
Leadership is necessary in any movement. 1t is
especially necessary in this movement against the
liquor traffic There must be concentration of effort
uncation of plan, the bringing of temperance senti-
ment to bear upon common point of attack. That is
what the Anti-Saoon League is for The liquor ee-
ment testihes that the Ant-Saloon League is the
ganization that is doing them the damage If that be
true and it is true it should go long way toward
bringing every temperance and woman into line
with the Leagues kind Of campaign. There must be
leadership, and the leadership must something
it must be followed If the leadership is not good it
should be gotten rid Of If the leaders of the Anti
Saloon League doing their duty others should
be put in their place; but while they are leaders they
should be followed There must be discipline in the
AntiSaloon army These facts too patent to need
emphasis.
And Particularly Just Now
We have gone through hard primary campaign
and have made unprecedented gains in the nomination
of county option for the legislature The victory
is in sight. The passage of county option law is
strong possibility But the situation is so close and so
critical that the outcome may be determined by few
churches a few individuals who fail to do their
duty. 1t may be matter of single in the next
legislature. We do not exaggerate or overstate.
United action by the churches and united action
among the voters in November will bring the victory
but united action is absolutely imperative It is the
thing most needed in the temperance warfare in
Illinois just now.
