Temperance Timber.
The saloon supplies the weapons
for the uuceasing and deadly war
upon-the home.
Wheu liquor dealers are busy, the
devil is glad.
Driuk revenue is wet with tears
.
and stained with blood.
Many a man has drifted into the
drink habit through the advice of a
^Kphysician.
! "There is no plague that scourges
^Bao lash that stings, no fire that
^^>uras with such baneful heat as the
P legalized ram traffic?this blot of
blots upon a civilized nation.''
Wbett the American conscience is
\ . no longer stifled at the baliot box,!
the American saloon will no longer
exist.
"Poverty never drives a man to
driuk unless be wants to go; bat
drink drives a man to poverty
whether he wants to go or not,"'
It would be like dynamite under;
the saloon, if just where he is the'
I. minister would begiu active work
W against it; if, just where he is, the J
voter would cast his ballot for Pro-!
hibition.
k The liquor question is the douiinant
question in American politics
. and the partv that deals not with it
>;s born blind.
When saloon-meu are pratiug to
x voters about the vast good done by
license money they forget to tell bow
much it costs to support the magistrates,
the courts and the jails.
"The making, selling or using of
intoxicating beverages is a wrong
against the public welfare, and all;
the legislation in the world can not'
change the fact one way or the oth-;
er*" I
The mistake of the State is iuj
| locking up the drinker instead of1
' the drink.
"The devil soon gets a mortgage
upon the man who drinks?and he:
already owns the man who sells."'
Every dollar spent *at the saloon (
bar comes out of the grocer, baker,
butcher, dry goods man, and such
others as are ministering to the;
needs of life.
' The 'almighty dollar' still rules.
It is that which upholds the liquor
traffic and shuts the mouths of hosts
m of Christiau voters. It is time for
Moses to descend fiom the mount
and waken the conscience of Israel
promenading around tiic golden
calf."
"The way on t of the liquor curse,
aaa the way out of every social
course is through an enlarged conception
of the dignity and destiny
of man.''
The saloou by its political influence,
is a peril to every free and
sacred institution of our natiou.
Instead of the revenue from the
liquor traffic supporting the government,
the government must support
the traffic.
All other kinds of poisouiug are
L few in comparison with those ocHkigsioned
by the habitual use of
W strong drink.
I Tiie "personal liberty of oue
I man should not spell personal slavI
ery for another.
I The Bible presents u stronger
8 Prohibitory Law than was ever
8 written on the statute books of any
8 commonwealth. It is the law of
Christian Brotherhood and makes
. . . y**z --'V ; ',UK .
the Christian a Prohibitionist, iu!
spite of society or busiuess or pol-1
itics.
The whisky business is forever,
j undent he ban of Christ. Temper!
aucc work is Cbristly work. 5>o the
| Christian cannot compromise here
and remain a Christian.
The great danger which threatens
the American people is not the armies
of Eurofie, or a Chinese boy-'
' cott, or au excessive high tariff, or
| impure food-stuffs, but the legalized
1 Honor traffic.
Saloons may go oh, like the
brook, forever. Men may die in
them like tlies and hell grow fat on
! drunkards. Girls may be betraved
and l>oys baited hellward. Homes J
may be destroyed and women and
children beggared, but you can an- '
wer, 'Xot by my vote* '*
Take the sanction of law and the !
protection of government away from
the liquor traffic, and the people will |
soon trample the vile thing into the
very dust.
"The world never knew a worse
iniquity than lutemperauce, neither!
nnrally, socially nor financially."
The pearl that sparkles in the bot- (
torn of a wiue-glass is ouly the bubble
called "Disappointment."
Drink's grip can uever close on
mm who closes nis lipsag*mst urinK.;
There may be 110 bread at home: J
but there is always beer and whisky!
at the bar.
All monopolies sink into insignificance
when compared with the whisky
mouopoly.
' The Christian man who prays for
God to sweep intemperance from the
land don't mean it nnless he is will,
ing that God should use him as the
broom with which to do the sweeping."
"The rum-hole must be closed or
the rum hell will engulf Christendom."
"If every flask of wiue produced
should be taxed $1,000, it would not
be enough to pay for the tears it has!
wrung from the eyes of widows aud '
orphaus, uor for the blood it has;
dashed ou the Christian church, nor J
for the catastrophe of the millions it
has destroyed forever."
Do you want to take a census to
enumerate your children and say, "1
will so regulate this evii that this
child shall be mine and that one the
saloon-keeper's?''
The curse of Cain is resting c
this nation, and as sure as righteou
ness is right and sin is sin, thei.
must come a day of reckoning. Ix>ok
to yourself, voter: ar? vou carrying J
the brand of Cain?
"A river of rum. a mountaiu of :
gold, a cloud of tears, a boulevard of j
broken hearts, a ic-d Niagara, down I
which the best blood ot the nationjis
pouring, a valley of dry boues, white
with a million ruui-made skeletons. '*
This is the terrific indictment against
this infernal liquor traffic.
War is terrible, and many of our
best men have gone to their graves'
through wai; but strong drink has
carried more victims to the grave in
America than has war.
"Break down the American home,!
and the fabric of free government
goes down with it. There is no foun-'
tain of influence so pure as the'
Christian home. Corrupt that, and
every artery of national life will be !
tainted.
For its own safety this government
must build around its homes all possible
safe-guards,and by every means i
in its power protect these nurseries i
of their future statesmen and rulers.*'
"Prohibition is in the air. The j
nation'8 heart is beginning to throb j
to its music. The rising tide breaks;
all along the shore and each succeeding
white-fringed billow washes
further up the strand.'*
Georgia is added to the list oft
prohibition States and the whole!
Southland is moving toward prohib- J
ition.
"Let the work for prohibition go
on until every patriot who loves his
country, every Christian who loves i
his God, every philanthropist who
loves his race, every father who loves
his child, every son of the republic
will march to the ballot boxes of the
land and under an avalanche of freemen's
ballots bury beyond resurrec-1
tion the American saloon."
"Where is the citizen.
Whose hand shall grasp the patriot
pen I
And write the edict strong and grand i
Which shall emancipate the land.
And crush the oligarch of drit k?
When men shall act as now they think,
* nd all united [ed."

As is customary during the dull
season some news scribbler, to till
out a column, sets the ball a-rolling
?n/l flic nthpN ehin in. This time
the subject is "kissing" an J we present
a few of the many clever "getoffs"
of budding rhymesters, with a
concluding stanza of our own, giving
Kmgstree a place in the picture. By
the way,the sentiments of the editors
of the Abbeville Medium and the
Branchville Journal would be illuminating
on this particular subject.
