Money IS an alluring power. Men of all colors, of all nationalities, of all professions and calliDgs. o1 all circumstances and conditions of life are attracted and control ed by money. Money literally exercises lordIy dominion over man. Money waves his magic wan, and man Is instantly trans formed into whatsoever money listeth. Money says to this man

 These facts make the Liquor Traffic the most harmful and the most insidlous foe to morals add to our civilation The income of this traffic is far greater than that of any other combination or trustin the world. Theirincome lis represented by the annual expenditures for liquor.
 There are one billion, four hundren million dollars spent annually for liquor in the United States alone. We can not think in those numbers. It is more money than a man can count in a life time.
 We hear much in politica' parlance aboutthe great Tariff question and the tariff receipts of the United States are some thing like one hundred and fifty million dollars a year, or about one tenth the amount that we

The Prohibition Campaign
 Now On.

The State Wide Prohibition campaign is now on in Arkansas. This should rouse the finer sen- abilities of the good citizenship of the entire state to the highest tension, and cause them to go to the polls on the 9th of Septem-
 Der with ballot pure and clean, and vote for the passage of Bill No. 2. with a patriotism that will
 make the Angles smile. Because in this is the life or the death of the great Liquor Traffic in our
 beloved state.
 The liquor traffic has given our
 state more trouble, and done us
 more harm. and retarted our pro- gress more than every other evil
 put together.
 The liquor traffic kills more
 people, despoils more virture, wrecks more homes, breaks more
 hearts, makes more poverty, and
 causes more sorrow and distress than all other evils combined. It l is the biggest and worst mone- tary power in the world. The

The ARGUS:
 As we seem to be lost sight o1 over here, I thought I would dis abuse the minds of ye public and claim our rightful prerogatives. The Summer weather is idea for growing crops, tho we will soon be too dry again.
 ] MT. Conley has given up the Mcdonald Hotel and Mrs. Me Donald is back at her former place of business.
 1 Mrs. Collins speaks of going back to Little Rock this Fall, but her Roe friends trust she may yet decide to remain one of us. We would miss her very much, especially in Sunday school work.
 Mrs. Julia Tillman left last week with one of her nepheWs to spend awhile with relatives and friends at her old Mississippi home.
 J. D. Minnis and little daugh- ter, Jewel. have been on a visit to relatives in Missouri.
 Some of our former good church members have turned their attention to the dance hall and have induced many of our young people to participate in the dance till they now have quite a mania for it. 1 forbeal giving any names for 1 am sure they would be ashamed to see their names before the public as encouraging dancing after being loyal workers in the church. There are some of our young people. however, who will not be induced to participate ir lit. We heard of one lady visit. ing here from Clarendon, wht was approached to go and take part in the dance, but she cor teously though firmly refused saying she believed it to bt wrong for church members tt engage in such worldly amuse ments and that she hoped tt raise her children to shun tht ball room. We only wish there were more of such staunch, Coo serving Christians, who can ant should say no. when approached to do wrong. Yes, if there ar' those who like to dance just le them come to Roe and they cai be filled to their hearts content l And, in the meantime, we would ask the prayers of the righteous in our behalf that the few faith i full ones may hold out and con tinue to be God fearing and Cox serving, and that something may be done that will cause our CT ring church members to see thei errors and turn from their sim that God may pardon them be l fore they have led all our young people to fall into temptation sin and perhaps the loss of thei immortal souls. We trust thi 1 will be received in the spirit 1T which it is written, kindly. ant 1 that it may cause some one t stop and ask himself, Am 1 do ling my community right?"

1. " aquoL. Just stop and think. And then think aga;a a'u
 In the last decade of tbe [ a;
 teenth century. our great yova,' e' ment was thrown into ras, a, "Gemini-fits" over the s;lvsa s' question, and a mighty cry went up from every part of our borI ~sa' CTS for The free unlimited coinage of silver, Sixteen ~ tu one,' Mould that silver bu,, IT ion into dollars and send ;r o,,. in circulation among the peonls =, :, Many and mighty were the cr, for the silver of our country And that possibly would hava been all right. But the entire silver product of the United States for one hundred years from 1792 to 1892 was one billion three hundred million dollars or one hundred million dollars las. than the liquor bill of the IJn;ted States for one year.
 There is another great and commendab enterprise of tha United States. The Panam. Canal is a matter of internationo, interest, and we have heard much of it in the past several years, and we are going to have 2 big celebration at its openino This is alright because it is a h;o Ithing and it ought to be cale. lbrated. But take the liouor hin |of the United States for one year only, and you can build the Panama Canal at a cost of four hundred million dollars, and have the neat little fortune of a billion dollars left. Make it short, look at 1t straight. The liquor bill |of the United States alone ;s |$3, 838, 585 per day the wear round.
 The question naturally arises. What does the liquor traffic do with all this money that is pour. ing constantly into its cofrers?" It uses it for it's selfish and ne- farious purposes, going up aid down in the earth seeking whom it may devour. It is devouring more than a hundred thous. and lives every year, debauching the innocent, despoiling the pure and bringing everybody and ey- erything possible under it's own satanic power. It works its way into the governmental affairs. it corrupts politics, it perverts leg islation, and 1t defeats justice in the courts. In fact there is no crime, either mentionable or un- mentionable that can not prop erly be laid at the door of the liquor traffic. And as long as this green-eyed monster is al lowed to have a legal existence in any state or nation it will give great trouble to the body politics. and inject the poison of its virose into all our civil and social institutions. and we are bound to suffer intolerable wrongs as long as it has a legal right to live among us.
 There is but one way to con trol Cor to regulate the liquor traffic, and that is to break it's neck. Kill it dead. Give it ab- solutely no living existence be- fore the law. 4
