You may vote to "let the saloon
alone" but it will not "let you alone."
—Rani's Horn.

"The saloon system largely in
creases our taxes by multiplying
•rime, producing poverty, breeding
nsanity, creating disorder in com
nunities, and lessening the productive
esoUrces of this country. It don't
ay to allow one man to make drunk
ards, and then tax other men to pay
sheriffs, jurors and judges for catch
ing and punishing the drunkard, far
etter punish the drunkard-maker and
stop his business entirely. It don't
pay $o tolerate a business that brings
poverty to thousands of our people,
and then tax quiet, industrious citi
zens^to relieve that poverty." In
•»bort, it is not just to tax the honest
aborer to make good the losses and
•epair the ruin caused by the rummunity
traffic hence every tax payer ought to
vote against it.
Horace Greeley once said "Th
way*,to deal with the liquor traffic is to
tak$ that dog's tail off back of his
necf." That did not mean high
license.
to
Some people say "If we can't enforce
a prohibitory law wouldn't it be better
to hedge it in with high license?" No,
a thousand times, no. If you get on
the side of God and home and do your
duty as a citizen, God will take care
of the results.
This is a serious matter and
that we cannot pass by lightly. "Make
a clain, for the city is full of viol
ene|!" Make a chain to hold down
fast and tight that which is so de
structive to the welfare of our town.
Every man is making a chain and that
chain is no stronger than its weakest
linjc. I makes no difference how per
fect you may be in this or that, the
strength of your chain will be meas
ured by the casting of your ballot.
You talk about it letting you alone!
It lets nobody alone! There is? not a
mother in all this land who sees her
boy coming reeling home drunk (and
there^are many of them right here in
WS£h»ar and vicinity), who deck res
that the saloon lets her alone, al
the* tfgh she lets it alone!
We heard of a young man in the
far west years ago, who inherited
from his father's estate quite a sum
of money—between fifty and one hun
dred thousand dollars. He married
one of the most lovely Christian girls
in the community—beautiful, loved
and respected by all who knew her.

those days—took a wedding trip to
Europe. They remained there two
years. This young man coming sud
denly into possession of this great
estate—for it was great in those days
joined clubs, attended the races, got
to drinking and gambling. Losing at
gambliqg, he endeavored to regain the
fortune lost, and went on from bad to
worse, until he became a common
drunkard. During the two years tbey
spent in Europe, a child was born' to
them. At last, as the result of his dis
sipation, they found themselves! al
most penniless they had just enough
to bring them back to New York. He
sold his wife's jewelry and parted with
all the clothing that they could *pare,
to get enough money to take them to
their old home, and when they got
there, she, of course, was broken
hearted, humilated—he, a blear-eyed,
bloated wreck! He had left there but
two years before a bright, sober, high
ly respected young man—a young man
of future, fame, and honor in the com
where he was raised. His
friends rallied around him and tried
to save him, but he had become so de
bauched and profane and brutai, that
he spurned their friendly offers at
last, with the aid of friends and by the
solicitation of his wife, who had been
stricken with consumption, they moved
south in the state, where there was a
good town, but where there were two
or three saloons. It is hard in this
country, outside of a prohibition
state, to find a place where there are
uo saloons. They moved into a cabin
in the outskirts of the town. She was
on a bed of straw, hollow-eyed and
pale—her little boy, then about ten
years of age, her only watcher. While
was with mamma, papa was at the
saloon cleaning out the spittoons for a
drink.
And this poor mother, in her great
distress sinking day by day lower and
lower, not having the comforts of life,
at la9t, one day, in her great agony,
said to her little boy, "Oh, Tommy,
won't you pray for mamma?" Tommy
knelt down and said, O Lord, wilt
Thou look down upon our humble
home? Wilt Thou bless my dear
mamma? Wilt Thou, Lord, relieve her
of her great suffering?"
And then the drunken father came
in, caught him by the hair, threw him
upanthftfiooj^^kicked him and. cuffed
him and beat him, and said, "Now,
you little scoundrel, If I ever come
home and catch you sniffling and
praying over your mother, you leave
this house, never to darken thi& door
again!" And a week later, mamma,
growing weaker, Tomms faithfully
watching by her side, said to him in
her great distress, in her agony, just
able to speak in a whisper—"Tommy,
I pray again." And the little fellow
had scarcely knelt kown when this

brutal father came in and beat him so
cruelly that he could scarcely walk—
his own little boy—his own flesh and
blood—and said to him, "Now, you
little scoundrel, pack up your duds,
leave the house, and never darken this
door again." A drunkard's boy
don't have many to pack, but
he gathered together such as he had
in a little bundle, and went to his
mamma's bedside, laid down his bun
dle, tenderly threw his arms around
her neck and kissed her and said,
'•Good-by, mamma, good-by!"
•'Where are you going, my darling?"
I don't know, mamma, but papa tells
me that I must go away because, mam
ma, I prayed for you but I won't for
get you, mamma: I will remember you.
I will pray for you, mamma, when I
am gone." And then turning to his
brutalized father—brutalized under the
laws of the country in which we iv
