While these facts point to q big VIC
tory for the drys, there is not the real
significance attached to them that there
is to the returns showing that four coun-
ties that were already dry REFUSED
TO GO BACK TO THE WET COLUMN.
Upon the occasion of dry victories in
the past, the vets offered the explana-
ton that it was 'tONLY A WAVE, SURE
TO RECEDE, WHEN THEY WOULD
BE ENTRENCHED MORE FIRMLY
THAN BEFORE"
The refusal of the dry counties to go
back to the saloon SUPPORTS ALL OF
THE ARGUMENTS OF THOSE
WHOSE EFFORTS MADE THEM
DRY.
They urged that men who supported
the saloon would find their conditions
bettered and that legitimate business
would be helped.
In these counties the dry forces APP
pear to have successfully met the argu-
ment that if the saloons were banished
the state would lose revenues which
would mean an added burden for the
taxpayers.
The result proves that the taxpayers
have had to take on no such additional
tax burden as to cause them to want to
change back from dry to wet.
In these counties, the result proves
that the banishing of the saloon has
brought eontentment to fresides, now
more secure, and happiness and pros
perity to the greatest number of people.
Otherwise, unless we do not under
stand human nature, these four coun-
ties would have returned to the wet
column.
The result in these four counties can
mean but one thing, and that is that

MR.. LOucks, ADDRESS.

This should be the paramount .issne
for the Christian citizens of the
world; and ! want to thank you for
giving me this opportunity of express
ing my views on the most important
topic that could be given any one for
discussion. In the brief time allotted
me l can only submit a few thoughts
for future study and development.
The topic assumes that politics
has been captured, and is being ad-
m%inistered by Gods enemies, in ,vie-
latian of His laws, for the oppression
,of His children, and this Is a .bugle
call to recapture it.
Meaning of ."Politics.."
The term politics" has "A double
meaning. AS used now by the aver
age citizen practical politics" ssigni-
fies something to be avoided as bad,
immoral, degrading, ,ungodly; that
the decent citizen cannot afford to
mix in with for fear of contamina-
ton and loss of character. The
Standard dictionary definition is:
Skilled to adjust those preliminary
measures which :s1eal from the peo-
pie, without its knowledge, the power
of choosing its own rulers" 1t is q
very mild definition when we consider
how these rulers have administered
the affairs of government against
which we protest. They might we'll
have stopped with the word people"
The second definition ef politics by
the same authority is: 1.-THE admin
istration eof public affairs In the in
terest of peace, prosperity and safety
of the state. political science, in a
wide sense embracing the science of
government and civil politsy"
That is better. To capture politics
legislative machinery-tor God,
that it may be administered by Christ
Mn statesmen. under the guidance
and laws Of the ALI Father in the
interest of, and for the benefit OF. all
His children. Equal opportunity tor
all. That does not mean, as SO often
ignoTaatly stated IAN equal division
of all wealth and property" 1t does
mean that every child of God should
have an equal opportunity for the
use of the natural sources of wealth
provided for all by the Creator for
the maintenance of life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness"
1t was not Intended that this should
be free, for It is said (Thes. 11-10):
"If any would not work, neither
should he eat" He was to be giver,
free opportunity to work. and enti-
tied to all the fruits OF his labor. The
result was to be left to his own free

preston.
In their mad rush for the accumula-
ton of wealth, they are depressing
the people. That is strictly forbid
den in verses IA and Is: I'VE shall
not oppress one another
The great cause of oppression and
distress is, and always has been,
that when the ungodly are in control
of politics, they have been doing in
the past, and are now doing, all they
can to promote and protect the pri-
vate monopoly Of public utilities
and utilities for private gain, which
is the chief cause of the present high
cost of living, strikes, lockouts, and
the millions of unemployed, and part
ly employed.
Equity and Justice.
We want to substitute therefor a
system of government administered
by Christian statesmen, in accord
with the equity, justice and righteous
ness Of the laws laid down by the
All-Father, in the interest of, and for
the benefit of, all His children.
i will only refer at this time to the
two necessities, land and money, that
were then being monopolized by the
ungodly to Cypress the people, have
always been, and are now where per
mitted. Free access to land is a
prime necessity for life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" 1t is un-
natural and unfraternal that any one
member of the human family, or COM
.bination of them. should be permit
ted to keep large tracts Of land out
OF use for speculative purposes, while
millions Of their fellow-men are suf-
|fering for want of access to a small
part OF Gods free gift to all His chill
.dren. In verse % He commands:
The land shall not be sold forever;
for the land is mine" with the en-
iphasis on '"'is mine" And if for any
reason possession of the land, out
side the walled cities, was given to
another, it was only temporarily, and
had to be returned to him or his fam
lily at the year of Jubilee. Private
monopoly of land was prohibited by
God for the protection of all His
children, and an abundance created
for all.
The best way to encourage the
back to the land" or forward to the
Hand" movements is to re-enact Gods
laws. Back to the law meal back
Ito the land. This would go a long
way towards solving the great prob
lem of the unemployed, OF which we
know but little here, but which is
very acute in the large cities. 1t
would also eliminate the need for
charitable organizations to a large
extent, if not wholly. .a 5s5sgq
Money Monopoly. s#6ss
The private monopoly Of money
and its use for gain, is and always
has been one of the greatest causes
OF oppression known to mankind.
What does Gods law say about its
use for gain? CVerses ~35-56-37).
In substance: eff thy brother is
in need, relieve him. and the whole
human family is included thus:
yea, though he be a stranger, or a
s%ojourner." Take thou no usury of
him or increase. Thou shalt not give
him thy money on usury nor lend
