The dispensary is convenient, public and constant temptation to the i drunkard, to the young and uniniti ated. In short, it, the dispensary, is a hard downward pull on evervthing good in thecommunity.

He is under UO personal obligation to the church.

Some men else protects life, liberty and have turned against prohibition property, thea every citizen is iu Union lately because it does under obligation t<> help tfie | prohib t. They say it is too hard church, and he is a bad citizen who would injure the church. But his duty is to the state and not to the church; that is, his service for the church is a civil service and not a religious ser vice. In addiessing ourselves to the non church member, we there fore appeal to him as a citizen, and as a man. All civil governmet rests on moral principles. The basis of all their laws is in man’s moral nature. The essence of all crime against the state is moral evil. What ever is morally right is consistent frith good government and is good law, whatever is morally wrong is subversive of good government and is bad law . Any law which instigates and cnltivatea. immoralities will undermine and tend to destroy all law and government. Man is capable of civic government only because he is a moral being, has a moral nature. Not reason, hot conscience, the moral sense, is the basis of human govern ment. a Let us apply these principles to the dispensary. Does tT e dis pensary help or injure good morals? Does it promote obedi ence to law, or lawlessness. Does it any way make better? Does it in any sense protect life, liberty and property? Does it tend to promote human happi ness? Does it in any way aid the state to perform its proper func tions? If it does none .of these things, and I suppose no one would say it does, how can » to get a drink now. And I dare say there i* not a man in Union County today who takes his drink would be in favor of shutting the lid down so tight that they could not get a drink unless it be some who already see whiskey i? their rum and want to quit it entirely. The confirmed drunkard who isn’t such a foot or devil that he wants to be a drunkard favors prohibi tion. The strongest appeals I have ever had to work for prohi bition have come from drunk ards . They beg me to help them to quit. Still addessing myself to the iutelligen*., conscientious citizen, who is without faith iu prohibi tion either because he never had any, or because he is discouraged by the failure of the law, I ask, have you considered what you will get in its stead when you es tablish a dispensary? To establish a dispensary in Union will be to place here a magnet which will draw every immoral element in the County to it, or to make it plainer to some folks, it will be to drag a corrupting carcass to the highest eminence and thus attract every moral buzzard in the county to it. Your blind tiger, or lawless citi zens, your drunkards, your frauds, your vile womeh, your low typ? politicians, will all draw nigh and find a friend and helper here. It will prove* the best rounding up and corraling device the devil ever had for handling his cattle. Dispensaries have always bred blind -tigers. Ihey have always bred graft (or theft good citizen, or a man who has and fraud aie the better words.) any regard for m«ral duties favor They have always bred deuoa a dispensary.

The newspaper is a hu;;e shop window, carried about the ci‘7 and delivered daily into hundreds cf t 1 ; ds of homes, to he exam ined at the leisure of the reader. Th is sh op window is unlike the actual plate edass show case only in o/. -v «... it l..splay of descriptions ins:. . of articles. You have often been impressed by the difference between the decorations of two window-trimmers, each of whom employed the same materials for his work. The one drew your attention and held it by the grace and cleverness and art manifested in his display. The other realized so little of the possibilities in the materials placed at his disposal that un less some one called your attention to his bungling you would have gone on unconscious of its existence. An advertiser must know that he gets his results in accordance with the skill exercised in preparing his verbal displays. He must make people stop and pause. His copy has to stand out. He must not only make a show of things that are attractive to the eye but are attractive to the people’s needs as well. The window-trimmer must not make the mistake of thinking that the showiest stocks are the most salable. The advertiser mus.t not make the mistake of thinking that the showiest words are the most clinching. i Windows are too few in number to be used with indiscretion. The good merchant puts those goods back of his plate glass which nine people out of ten will want after they have seen them. The good advertiser tells about goods which nine readers out of ten will buy if they can be convinced. Newspaper space itself is only the win dow, just as the showcase is but a frame for merchandise pictures. A window on a crowd ed street in the best neighborhood, where prosperous persons pass continually, is more desirable than one in a cheap, sparsely settled neighborhood. ’ An advertiserrient in a news paper with the most reader^ and the most prosperous ones possesses a great advantage over the same copy in a medium circulating among persons who possess less means. It „ would be foolish for a skop to build its win dows in iiie alleyway—an i just as much so to put i*s advertising imo newspapers which are distributed among “alley-dwellers.” * (Copyright, 19US, by Ttlbune Company, Chicago.)
