PREACHED SAME
SERMON -FOUR TIMES

A certain preacher once repeated
his sermon OF the previous Sunday.
His hearers thought it rather strange,
ing that is, those who noticed it, but
said nothing 10 him about it. On the
third Sunday the identical sermon was
repeated again. This time many no.
tced it and wondered about it, but
no one mentioned the matter to the
preacher. On the fourth Sunday the
very same sermon was delivered again
for the fourth time. The members
of the congregation then appointed
a committee to call upon the preach
err and insist upon an explanation of
this strange repetition of the very
same sermon. The preacher calmly
told the committee that in this partic-
ular sermon he appealed to his con-
gregation to do certain things which
should be done by them as Christians.
II have observed that these things
have not yet been DONE" he said, and
until they are there is no use of my
going any further, so | have been
preaching the same sermon waiting
for the congregation to follow its
precepts."
Many readers of the American
Issue, who have seen the lists of
accommodation on the front page
week after week, may have wondered
why this same matter appeared re-
peatedly.
The answer is simple. The Anti
Soloon League recommendation tell
the voters definitely, exactly and posi-
lively how National Prohibition can
be won and must be won. The inn
portance OF these recommendation is
so great, compared to anything else
that might be said that it is absolute
ly impossible to print anything more
Important until after primary cleo
ton day.

NATIONAL IMPORTANCE OF RATIFICATION
BY ILLINOIS
By Edwin c. Dinwidde Legislative Superintendent of the
Saloon League of America
Continued from Page ID

We are at a point where National
Prohibition is not only a probability
but almost an assured fact We can
only lose now by downright in
difference, provincialism, or actual re-
fusal to follow accredited leadership.
We are at point where some of
US believe National Constitutional
Prohibition will be adopted next win
ter whether Illinois ratifes or not,
and yet we might be in situation
where the failure of Illinoise to rati-
fly might be responsible for the defeat
of this benefcent policy throughout
the nation. And we might lose Illi-
nois by the failure or indifference of
our natural friends in few senator
ial or legislative districts in the state
possibly even in one.
Illinois ought to ratify promptly
for her own sake, as we'll as to insure
Nationwide Prohibition to the coun-
try at large. It would be state dis
grace not to do so: 1t would be a
crime for every Prohibitionist not to
do his utmost in practical way to
insure this result.
The practical things to do are:
First, make the carrying of the
primaries in both parties ones first
concern on September II. Go to the
polls early and then work to have all
of ones neighbors and acquaintance
on our side do the same thing.
= Second; dry voters should not cast

II Illinois IS to be one OF the
tl-rty-six 4 majority in both the
Senate and the House in the
state Legislature to meet in
January, 1910, must vote IN ia
vor of ratification.
The legislative candidates
dominated at the primary cleo
ton on September Il, in practi
cally every case, will be elected
at the general election on No
vembcr ).
There are enough dry voters

thereby insure the election of a
majority for ratification, provid-
ing the dry votes are united for
the right candidates.
TO win Illinois Tor ratification
dry voters must go to the polls
on September II and vote for
legislative candidates Endorsed
by the Anti-Saloon League.

their ballots for unendorsed candi-
dates but should be willing to sink in
oividual preferences for candidates
who are thoroughly right and have the
best chance to win. The vets should
not be permitted to gain members of
the Senate and House by uniting their
forces while drys permit ours to be
divided.
Illinois is too big and important a
state not to have large influence upon
the other states of the Union. Let
every Prohibitionist do his utmost on
September eleventh to insure an over
whelming victory in The next Illinois
Legislature.

A DIVIDED ARMY

Dividing the enemy's army is one
CT the oldest and most common meth
eds employed by military strategists.
It is as simple as "one-half of four
is two" An army is only as strong
as the portion of it that fights to-
gether.
The dry cause is only as strong
as the total of votes united. A vote
for candidates NOT endorsed is a
vote wasted,
The only hope OF the Illinois vets
is to divide the drys. United the drys
can not be beaten.

Prohibition Party
to Help Nominate
Ratification Men
State Chairman Explains Primary
Law and Suggests Duty TO Sup

Voters Can Help Ratih-
Cation


Voters Can Help Ratii-
cation
/ The following statement by Rob't
II. Patton, State Chairman of the Pro-
hibition party, explains the primary
election situation as it applies to
members Of the Prohibition party.
In pursuance TO the resolution
adopted at the state convention we
will not place in nomination any cand-
idates for the legislature before the
primary election. Your State Chair
man, in company with our National
/ Chairman, Y. 6. Hinshaw, recently
conferred with the State Superintend-
cnt of the Anti-Saloon League, and
The State President of the W c. r. u,
and have agreed upon policy of issu-
ing through the special edition OF the
Patriot-Phalanx a joint recommends
ton as to candidates OF the old part
les for the Legislature. By thus
presenting to the enemy united
army we feel sure that we will elect
Legislature that will ratfy the Con-
stitutional Amendment and enact
statewide Prohibition.
Prohibitionists and the Primary
No doubt many of our Prohibit
tionists will be DESTROYS of knowing
their legal rights as to participating
in the primary election. / am here
with giving a statement of the law as
| understand it, First, those who have
signed our state petition cannot vote
at the primary election, if they are
/ challenged on that ground. All other
Prohibitionists who have not voted
for some other party candidates at
primary election within two years
can, if they desire, vote at the pri-
mary election, and choose the ticket of
either party they desire By doing
! this they do not bind themselves to
that party or bind themselves to vote
that ticket. The only effect of such
choice is that they cannot vote any
other party ticket at the primary for
two years.
Duty to Help Illinois Ratify
III any prohibtionists can see that
they can help nominate dry candida
tes at the primary election on Sept
ember II, by doing this, | cannot see
/ how such action can be construed in
any way as disloyal TO our party;
and as We desire to secure the
ratification OF the amendment, it
will be we'll for all of us to con-
slider we'll whether it is not our duty
to do so. The fact that we have voted
the Prohibition ticket at the general
election within two years, or that wcs
expect to vote for our state ticket
this year, does not disqualify us from
SO voting. The only grounds for bar,
ring us from vote at the primary
is that we have at 4 PRIMARY
ELECTION, within two years, voted
some other ticket, and as we have
had no chance to vote a Prohibition
ticket at the primary election within
two years, out voters arc all qualified
to vote at the primary election this
year, excepting where challenged on
the ground o. having signed our state
/ netition

Lunatics Rule Over
People in Many Parts
of Europe and Asia

There have been a large number
of lunatics and imbeciles among the
reigning houses of Europe. Not one
of the royal families is entirely free
from a hereditary taint of insanity
"a taint which in ordinary life
would be regarded as an insuperab,e
obstacle to matrimonial alliance for
their children.
Every dynasty of the old world has
furnished its quota of princes and

II is only recently that the mad
klng Otto of Bavaria found relief
from the tortures of insanity in the
grave. This crazy monarch's demen-
TIA was like that of Nebuchadnezzar
and led him to believe that he was
either a four-footed animal or n
pird: He was raving lunatic all
ms life and was confined to rhe
Castle of Furstenseid. Once he man
aged to escape and make his way to
Munich, where, entering st. MichaeIs
church, he threw himself down on
MS knees before the altar and com

loud tone of voice, that He would
graciously restore the light of rea-
son to His unhappy servant, Otto. in
order that he might become a bless
ing TO his people" The painful scene
was brought to a close by a priest
who had long known the king as a
boy. Recognizing his monarch, he
succeeded in quietly leading him
away into the sacristy.
Otto's predecessor on the throne
of Bavaria, Louis II, was drowned in
Lake Staremberg while attempting
to escape, after having been placed
under restraint as insane.
Before his ministers and relatives
resorted to the extreme measure of
depriving him of the reins of power
