A Plea For Prohibition.
i
We are again lacing this question
of importance. which has for
years been coming up before the!
public rniml for settlement.
Although we have not seen it j
settled in a way satisfactory to us,
we have seen omens of the coming!
victory for Prohibition as a result
of the eflbrts of its advocates.!
And as election after election:
passes away, tlie promise we see J
in iheir results is on of 1 ri 11 mj>,%, J
in the near future, lor this great
and good jause. |
Men's eyes are at last bein?r:
opened to their responsihiiily as I
voters and as citizens in allowing!
this breeder of evil and nnhappi-j
ness to liold sway over themselves j
and their sons and daughters.
We are a liberty-loving people
and the hand of an oppressor cannot
remain on us always, but
nr lj|(?r mir <trfin<' ri<rllt
arms will be raised in a victorious
effort to be free. We repeat, we
are a liberty-loving people, and
yet there are thousands who daily
and hourly bow in submission to
this merciless oppressor without
ever putting fort hone honest effort
to stay jts power. They
would not tarry a moment if a call
were made to preserve their
country's freedom, but would
fight and die willingly lor the po
litical liberty they enjoy. But
when it comes to fighting a bligii
I ^
terof hearts and homes, a producer
of tears and aching hearts,
they shrink from the field,although
their on'y march would be a trip
to the polls, and their only weapon
a prohibition ticket. How
long, oil. how longshall the feeling
of indifference chill the hearts of
men who are able to help those
who canfiot help themselves!
Voters, citizens, be what your
better selves tell you to be, do
what duty tells you to do, and the
victory is won. Do not think Hiat
your vote is useless against so j
many. Let each man do his part
in the work, however small his effort
may seem, and it will not be
in vain. This beautiful country of
ours, will then prosper as it never
Las done belore and our people
will,be blessed above all people,
because we will have uputout the
unclean thing from among us."
In the name of your State, in
* .-..I
me name 01 your community, ni|
the name of your sons and daugh- j
tors, in your own name, in thej
name oi your God, think. If you
have not felt the pain and knownot
- the effects of this sin in your own
home, give us your help for the
sake of those who have.
It you have been
blessed so as to escape this human
blight, you are the more bound to
extend a helping hand to those
less fortunate. Oh, that we all
mighi realize to how great an ex
tent we are oi'r brother's keeper.

To Friends of Prohibition.
Now for the second primary.
Ler. us all get t<? work and use
every legit male means in our
]>ower to get men to vote for and
rally around the man who seems
to be leading a forlorn hope, but
\i'hr\ with nnr wnlor i>h/t nmvfirc
can and will turn ,a seeming defeat
into a glorious victory. Away
then with any prejudice that does
not hold with reason.Let us get to
gether and put our shoulders to
the wheel and get men to realize
that this cause represents God,
home and family, and that the!
standard under which we are!
fighting and hope to win, is the j
only one that true christian?;
should hold up at all times.
Some men claim that they want |
whiskey kept out of the State;!

if they are sincere. Away with
blood money in educating the!
rising generation. May God help :
us to do light always.

An Old Ide*. 1 ]
Every day strengthens the belief of cmlnent
physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the nxyority of our diseases.
Twenty-five years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula of Browns' Iron
Bitters. The many reinarkablecurca effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
