think, and after thinking awhile if
yon could realize the graft, greed and
rascality of the parasite class and the
misery caused by it, yon wonld feel
at once that this is not the proper

I cannot sing the old songs,

As a newspaper man you are in portion
to 9ee the critical condition in

which our country is in, and do see it
: more clearly than any other person
can see it. But if newspaper men
(Democratic) publish the truth as they
Bee it, how long would they hold their
job? How long before their wives and

hope, of the working class. There is
one feature about it that we prize very
highly, and that is politicians cannot
get lead nearly so easily as they did in
the Farmers' Alliance and People's
party, because our uonstitution requires
a two year's dues paid up membership
in tho party to make one eligible
to become a candidate for public
office; besides that every Socialist in
the world now holding public office is
subject to recall by a majority of the
membership whenever that majority
by referendum vote so orders.

are passing round petitions
for signatures asking that no election
be held on this subject at this time for
the reason that the "Webb'' law, recently
passed by Congress, will remedy
many of the evils which the dispensaryites
claim necessitates the re-establishment
of the dispensary. It matters

A Temperance Lecture.
We heard a lad of a boy wearing
knee pants remark a few days ago,
that "if he was old enough he would
vote for Coley Blea9e for Governor,
because if he committed a crime that
he had to be sent to the penitentiary
ho wnnlrl rmrilnn him T)nes t,hftt: show
encouragement or not? We are only
predicting, not that we know, unless
some radical change takes place between
now and two years hence, Governor
Blease has a following in this old
Commonwealth of ours that will send
him to the United States Senate.
Well, we are all weak human beings
and we do not all look at things exactly
the same way. We do not propose
to dictate to the good people of
our old home county what they shall,
or what they shall not do. Our experience
in handling dispensary whiskies
for nine or ten years, convinces
me that it is morally wrong for the
State, or any individual, to place temp- I
tation of this kind before the people.
In lh9-i, or Ji)5, when the dispensary
was established in Chapin I was
insisted npon by some of my warm
friends to apply for the position as
they knew that I would carry out the
law to the letter. With pood intentions,
as I understood the law with its
restrictions, I applied for the position.
Now, I want to show you what a dispensary
could do if the people were
so inclined. The stock of whiskies
averaged about $1,500 in half pints,
pints, quaits and gallons. Average
the stock in quarts at $1.00 per quart
that will give us 1,500 quarts; to half
this into pints will srive us 3.000 pints.
i W ' I
Have you any more than 3,000 voters I
in the county. At one little local dispensary
3,000 pints at 50 cents per
pint, enough to make every voter in
the county drunk.
In closing my letter I have a iuestion
to ask you. When the summons
comes for you to leave this world and
enter into the mystery of the world beyond,
which would you rather take
with you a bottle of whiskey or the
Bible? The bottle represents yes and
the Bible no! B. B. H.
