Abraham Lincoln on Prohibition

lhe liquor traffic is a cancer in So
clety. eating out its vitals and threat
enfng destruction, and all attempts to
regulate it Will not only prove abor-
tive but aggrevatc the evil. If tie
prohibition If slavery is good for the
black man, the prohibition of the H.
quor traffic is equally good and consti-
tuuonaI for the white man.
There must be no more attcmpts to
regulate the cancer Iiquor traffic:
1t must be cradicated: for until this be
done, all classes must continue exposed
to hecome victims of strong drink.
Ih" most effectual remedy would
be the passage of Il law altogether
aboIlsh'ng the liquor traffic.
After reconstruction. the next great
question Will be the overthrow OF the
liquor traffic. april -. 1861
Law must protect and conserve

W. n. Harrison

From the Grand Island Daily lnde-
pendent. we gather the following in
regard to w. II. Harrison, brother to
I. J. Harrison, who passed away at
Clarkson Hospital at Omaha last Sun
day and was buried under the auspices
of the Masonic. l. O. o. +. and Elks
Lodges on Monday afternoon at Grand
Island, Nebr.
Mr. Hsrrison had gone to Omaha
for Medical treatment when Il sudden
stroke of apop!eXy siezed him shortly
after his arrival at the city. He is
survived by Il wife. four sons ard a
daughter, all living at Grand Island
and all grown.
Mr.. Harrison has been in the lumber
business since he was II years old and
at the time of his death was President
of the Nebraska Lumber Dealers AsSo-
citation. He has served the people of
Nebraska in various capacities. having
been member of the City Council of
Grand Island. member of the House
and senate, having held the office of
President of the Senate and was also
Post master of Grand Island from 1898
to 1862
He was an influential member OF the
Masonic. Odd Fellows. Elks, Woodman
and A. O. L. W. lodges.
He took an active interest in music
and athletics and was an enthusiastic
admirer Of base ball. having managed
the local team the past season.
The State Journal in writing of Mr..
Harrison, said, Few men in the state
had SO large and devoted circle of
lntimates among leaders of men. He
had some of the characteristics that
caused Zachary Taylor to be called fond
ly 'Old Rough and Ready and he had
of the practical ideaiisn that
characterized Abraham Lincoln. He
was a master of men through under
standing and sympathy ard desire TO
serve the general good, and ambition
to make the state a better place for
his fellow men. For gentle, but most
positive thwrating of bad legi. laton,
and for mastery aid in the enactment
of progressive laws, Harrison should
be long remembered and also :or the
charm of his maniiness and for his
modesty after success, God Rest Him. -
Tn" same paper says editorially:
He probably did more than any
other one man to break down the rail
road domivntion of the politics OF
Nebraska. When he was postmaster
of Grand Island he took his political
life in his hands and came down to
Lincoln to prevent the Legislature from
carrying out corrupt bargain in the
naming of senators. He lost the post
Office as a result of this courageous
fight. but succeeded in bringing a new
era in the politics of the state and
made the sacrifice with the greatest
Willingness and good nature.

The Right Of the County to Vote

Why should the question of saloons no saloons
be submitted to the county whole first before be-
ing submitted to the villages cities?
First: Because the county is the smallest unit
of government which includes all classes of people,
who taxed together and elect acknowledgements

Second: Because the taxes of the county are paid
proportionatey by all taxpayers within the county
Third: Because the countys institutions and

Fourth: Because the liquor traffic is institu-

The City Needs the Country
Vote

By Hon. Seaborn Wright.


1t is fundamental principle of our government
that there shall be mo taxation without representa-
ton" That the city saloon in peculiar and
direct the people of the county is unquestoned
and yet under present law the living beyond the
city limit is Observation-Disclosures absolutely voice in
the settlement of the evil he is taxed to control
Greater than the question of taxation is the
slant danger hanging over the women and children,
who live in their quiet country homes beyond the city
limits-unprotected by police regulation the
women and children of the cities. The city saloons
turn their drunken savages loose the helpless peo
pie. Yet the of the country has voice in set
ting this great question, endangering his wife and
child.
The danger to the children of the man living be-
yond the city border is great the danger to the
city child 1t destroys both with equal hand Is the
farmer to his bright ambitious boy go down under
the overpowering temptation of the city saloon and
have voice in its control or abolition?
The average city man will recognize the Justice
OF county option-which simply enfranchses the man
of the country in the settlement of the liquor prob
lem 1t is the brewer and dstiller who would deprive
them OF voice in the settlement of the question.
County option in no sense commits any or
any county to the abolition of the saoon-t simply
enfranchises the people of the county at arge-gving
them the light of ballo-when the question at ISSUE
to vote as their individual judgment Dictates
Outside of the question of absolute justice to the
country is the question of safety to the city
Gradually the saloon is raising up class of savages
in cities, with all the rights of citizenship and
Of its sacred duties. These savages are the
willing tools of the political boss. Tammany Hall in
New York. Coxlsm in Cincinnati, and Hinky Dinlsm
in Chicago, with the infinite graft and rotenness of
these systems, are direct results of the saloon system
If | know anything on EARTH I know that the
honest men OF our cities struggling for good govern
ment for the control of vice, militant and aggressive
will ultimately need the strong country vote to keep
them in the contest When they vote against county
option, they strike death-bow to good government
in our cities, and destroy the support upon which they
must ultimately rely for victory

Memorial Day
Henry w. Longfellow.]

Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest.
On this field of the grounded arms,
Where foes no more modest
Nor sentrys shot alarms
Ye have slept on the ground before
And started to your feet
At the lannon's sudden roar
Or the drums redoubling beat.
But in this camp of death
No sound your slumber breaks.
Here is no fevered breath,
No wound that bleeds and aches.
All is repose and peace
Untrampled lies the sod.
The shouts of battle cease.
1t is the truce of God.
Rest, comrades, rest and sleep.
The thoughts of men shall be
AS sentinels to keep
Your rest from danger free
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers
Yours has the suffering been;

character. Teachers of youth are
speaking of what they call robustness
of character, by which they mean the
embodiment of those recognized man
ly or masculine elements which are
regarded as essential to success. No
one questions the value of such traits
but the fact that gentleness is neces'
sary to well-rounded character
should not be overlooked. BY gentle
ness is not meant effeminacy, or soft
ness of any kind, but that real, genu'
inc, sterling quality in one which has
ever marked the truly great men OF
the world. Someone says, "The truly
great are the most gentle"
The grace of gentleness is worth
cultivating, for both it's elemental and
utility value. The absence of it
makes one crude, rough, boorish, and
unfit for respectable, cultured society
Perhaps one feels that he is not al
ways as gentle as he should be. That
is a hopeful sign. 1t is ones privi-
lege to cultivate this virtue in daily
life until it increases. The fact that
one knows he is not gentle prepares
him to become gentle.

WHOSE PLACE WILL YOU TAKE

When mechanic, physician and teach
er have passed;
When the lips of the statesman are
silent at last;
When the drunkard has reeled from
the bar to the grave
And we miss from their seats the
gay scoundrel and knave;
Tell me then! as the ranks of life
widen and break,
Whose place will you take, lad
Whose place will you take?
Here's the farmers boots soiled by
the acres he titled;
Here's a glove that the hand of the
gambler once filed;
Here's the miller's grain cap, the
chief Justices gown,
And the coat of a citizen loved by
the town;
Here's the lazy mans chair and thu
loafers' old shoes;
They have left them for you, lad
Pray, which do you choose?
Up the mountains of life are new
sleeps to explore;
On the streets of life many an un
opened door;
There's a song of life yet with neV
notes to be sung;
There's a future that waits for tn,
hearts of the young.
Then what are you fitting for? Who's,
place to take?
And what place will you make, lad
What place will you make?
