I he Liquor Question.
Views of an Earnest Prohibitionist?His
Advice to Voters.
Mr. Editor: I'lease give me
space to say a few words on the
liquor question. As we have
heard so much about it and saw
so much of if, I can't help Iroui
speaking out against, liquor in
*i. .* :* t
cytri v iui ill it may picociu
itselt.
Some people say we can't
have prohibition because wliis
key will be shipped across the
line into our etate. Then, what
must we do ? sit down and do
nothing? No, no, ten thousand
times, no. That is just what the
devil and all the whiskey men
want the prohibition party to do
?keep still.
I know that, there is a great
deal of whiskey shipped into
Lancaster county, but drunkeness
has decreased, at the least,
60 per cent since the dispensary
was voted out here last fall.
And what is good for this
county is good for the whole
United States. To those who
can't see how we are to have
prohibit ion, I will tell you
my idea is to keep ever-lastingly
at it Keep working and praying
until we get our forces s'rong
enough in Congress to pass a
sweeping .Prohibition law. It
may not come while we live,
but I surely believe it will
come, and that, in a few years.
But it it don't come until we
are dead, our work will not
have been in vain?it will be
good lor our children. There is
plenty lor us to do yet, so let us
fpt riclil ilnwn fn wr?rlr nnrl sop
P?^v " -n"* " " ? "vv
that there is no one sent to the
Legislature of our state, nor to
congress, who is not a strict
prohibitionist. Let us pick men
with clean hands aud with an
honest heart?men who love and
honor God and want to work for
the betterment ot our homes and
country. I will not vote for any
man, I care not who he may be,
who lines himself up on the
whiskey side.
The man that will not vote for
prohibition because some men
will order and drink whiskey,
and because he can't stop it all
at. once, will vote for the whiskey
side; that is, the man thai
has been nothing else but a
whiskey man. And let me tell
you, *?od says that you are a
fool. He says strom: drink is
raging, and whosoever is deceived
thereby is not wise. Whatsoever
a man so wet h that shall he
also reap So, then, if you vote
tor a whiskey man and he iroes
and makes a whiskey law, you
will by ihat reap a harvest of
drunkards. Thai law will cause
mail' a hack to go naked, and
little f-'v t to "a hire and many
a poor one to li'l a drunkard's
crave and a devil'.- hell. So may
G <d help you as a voter to look
this 111 iiit square in the lace, and
I know when you do that, you
will V'?to tor no whiskey man
We h >vo neve r expected, as a
prohibition party, to get rid of
Mlronc drink all at once. It is a
great questi n and it will take
som time to settle it right, and
tha i- the only wav to settle it.
Some may tell you that because

tliey can't vote it out of flu
whole world at one mighty sweep
that tliey will not vote lor ptohibi
tion, and they very well knov
that Rome was not built in i
day. Neither is the prohibitior
party tryinn to vole whiskey of
the lace ol the earth all at once
But we do want it out of oui
state,' first, and then we wanti
out of our na'ion, and we wil
never stop fighting the devil and
his rum shops as long as there i:
one to be found.
Any man that claims to be i
christian and votes lor whiskey
does not belong to Christ. T<
pray, "cive us mis clay our <lailj
bread" and then go and vote t<
legalize the whiskey traffic whicl
takes the bread out the mouthi
of thousands of helpless mother!
and children; to pray "lead us no
into temptation" and then vot<
to place this the greatest tempia
tion of today before our men
and boys; to pray, "deliver uf
from evil" and then vote for hi
evil which has no equal; to praj
their sacred prayer and then g<
out and vote for whiskey, if
nothing hut open mockery he
fore God, and God is not mocked
The church member who votes
for or rents his property foi
carrying on the whiskey traflh
is sowing seed that will coun
against him in the day of judg
ment.
So let in, as people living in i
free country, \'v>te lor no'hin*
but a straight out prohibitior
man to fill every office Iron
Governor down.
I So Mr K. lit??i* - if lliia drtPsn
not 111 x<m1 in your sweeping an(

in your paper, and into tin
heart ol some voter that ha*
nevi r voted for a prohibition lick,

for it this fall.
