As a citi zen of this stuto I must not dodge the respon sibility of meeting this question. I must vote and I must bear the responsibility of my own vote. Aye. there's tlie rub. If I vote against prohibition , my vote will be in favor of the sa loon , which will involve the drink traffic with all its direful consequences of lawlessness and crime. If I vote against prohibition , I am vot ing in favor of a traffic which destroys more menyoung and oldruins more homes and costs more money than war , pestilence and famine combined. What has the saloon and liquor traffic done that is any benefit to tho family , the community , the state or the nation , that I should vote for it. If it has put one dollar in the public treasury , it has taken more than two out of the tax payer's pocket to meet the ex pense of the crimes caused by its business of making paupers and criminals. Now if I vote for prohibition , 1 voto for the destruction of the saloon , for the stopping of the cause and curse of drunkenness ; I vote for reduction of over fifty per cent , of our taxes ; I vote for the peace and purity of the home , for tho safety and pence of the community and the prosper ity of the nation. How shall I vote ? For or against the saloon.for or against thedrink traf fic , that is the question. My vote may decide this question for weal or woe. Which shall it be ? My vote may save many a man from a drunkard's grave , many a home from sorrow and may turn other homes , now wrecked , into abodes of comfort and sobriety. My vote can not be a party one. Now it must be a citizen's vote , looking to tnegreatestgood of the great est number. It must be a vote on which I may ask God's blessing. For he has command ed , "Whether ye eat or drink , or whatsoever ye do , do all to the glory of God. " Now if I can be sure of anything , in this world , it is this , that I cannot glorify God by voting for the rum traffic , and I cannot vote for the saloon without transgressingthogolden rulo.forl am sure I would not want a saloon to corrupt my boys , if I had any , and therefore I should not vote to put the temptatiou in the way of other men's boys. But I must vote for or agaiHst the saloon , for there is no other issue of im portance before the people , I must decide my vote and account to God , the judge of all the earth , for the same. I cannot vote against pleading women and helpless children. lean * not walk up to the ballot box and vote as the saloon keeper does , as the gambler , as tho be trayer of innocence does. No , I cannot do that , for my Bible says go not in the way of the wicked. Avoid it. Pass by it. Again I read in the Bible , "Blessed isthempnthatstandclh not in the way with sinners , norsitteth in the ceunsels of the ungodly. " Whatever wrongl may have done : n the past , here is achance to do right ; here is a chance to do a good deed for humanity and , by God's help , I will do it. I'll voto for prohibition. A merchant , after selling and using an arti cle for years , knows something of its merits , Mr. W. 1) .

The George Frederick school house Sunday school aud scripture lectures are prospering as well as possible. The attendance and inter est in the acquirement of religious knowledge are very good.

The school is once more at work and every thing is alive on the question of knowledge. Knowledge is power.

I BANKSVILLE and VICINITY. o For our next candidate for governor , Gilbert L. Laws. Mr. Joe Whittaker thinks of going to Colora do and taking a tree claim. Base Ball Banksville vs. Ridge. Saturday of last week. Score , 17 to 14 , in favor of the Ridge. A rousing meeting of tho republican club.j in Gerver precinct , was held at the Dodge school house , on Thursday night of last week. An error occurred in our notice of marriage , in last week's issue. The lady was MrsIda Frost , instead of Miss , as stated by Tne Trib une. Wonder why tho U. L. Ps. didn't give Fred W. Butler an oflico ? Suppose Fred thinks "S60 a month and expenses" is good enough for him. So do we. The petition for additional mail service for Banksvillc and Vailton has gone in to the de partment , and it is barely possible that some who signed it may live to see the petitioners- prayers granted. ' Misses Lcnna Lodge , Flora and Anna Bell , and others brought their escorts and partici pated in a leap year , terpsichorean party at the residence of W. H. Benjamin , one night last week. A very enjoyable time was had. Mr. James Houchln , who is threshing over quite a considerable territory , tells us that he has threshed more wheat that yielded 20 bush els per acre than fell below that figure. "What's the matter with Red Willow county for wheat ? We met our f riend.Gus. Kerndt , of Bird City , last week , in McCook. Gus. is one of those fel lows who are nevor out of humor and who , as a consequence , get more enjoyment to the square inch , out of this life than anyone. Ho was just returning from an extended visit east. Well the nomination for governor is made , and whilo we have nothing at all against the Hon. John M. Thayer , we still contend that the convention could not have done a wiser act , nor put In nomination a mau who would have done more honor and credit to the office , than it would bad it nominated the Hon. Gilbert L. Laws , than whom there is not , in the state , a man of more excellent morals , firmer integri ty , nor more exalted honor ; and we believe he will yet serve the people of our state as gover nor. If anyone who believes that this country is a failure as a country will look over a field of corn on the farm of W. H. Benjamin , we will insure them to be convinced of their error. We venture the prediction that there is not in the ceunty , and very ftw fields in the state that will surpass the exhibit. The one thing neces sary in this country , us m every other , is thor oughness in farm work and not , as some Geem to suppose , the success of the U. L. P. God forbid that we should ever have tho U. L. P. candidate for county attorney to dispense Blackstone for us. "Whom the gods would destroy they first mako candidates of the U. L. P. Sivaiit. Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is the most successful preparation overproduced for Summer Complaint , Cholera Morbus , Dysentery , Diarrhoea , Bloody Flux and Chronic Diarrhoea and thousands of per sons will certify that they believe their lives have been saved by this great remedy. It is the one preparation that every family and every traveling man should be provided with , especially during the summer months. Many cases of Chronic Diarrhoea that bad resisted . all other treatment and baffled tho skill of • good physicians have been permanenly cured by it. Sold by all druggists.

I Characteristics 1 i Which , more than anything , else , have contributed to the phenomenal growth of The Chicago - > fl Daily News , giving it a circulation larger than that of all other Chicago dailies combined. It 9 seems strange that the first practical , combined application of two such common sense principles in )9 ) journalism should have been left to a paper as yet only twelve years old. And yet true it is that in this 9 fact lies the real secret of the unparalleled success of The Chicago Daily News. Briefly stated ; 9 tnese principles are : First. THE DAILY NEWS Is a daily paper for busy people. Of all mankind the people of Chicago and the busy north west are the busiest. And yet perhaps no equal number of peo pie are to be found who appreciate so keenly the necessity of an intelligent knowledge of the world's daily doings. They recog nize that they , more than anyone else , are the world's providers in many of the most important necessaries of life. How im portant , then , that they should have their daily intelligence of every event , the world over , which by any possibility can affect their diversified commercial holdings. And in all the higher interests of life where can be found a like number of people more keenly appreciative of all that contributes to progress in art , literature , science , religion , politics , and the thousand and one things which make up modern civilization. And yet , strange to say , right here in this great , busy north west , in its busy metropolis Chicago , there has taken place the creation and development of that most cumbrous , unserviceable , time-destroying thing , the " blanket-sheet" newspaper. With the blindness of very fatuity this monstrosity of journalism , this breeder of mental dyspepsia , has steadfastly imposed its mountain oI"un - threshed straw to the demand of the people for the winnowed grain of fact. It was out of the very incongruousness of such a condition of things that The Daily News had its birth. People wanted the News , all the news but they demanded it apart from the over powering mass of the trivial and inconsequential. It is because The Daily News satisfactorily meets that demand that its circula tion is over " a-million a-week. " R. M. Lawrence , Williamsville , 111. , says : "The 'big daily' is too much for me. Not that a person is obliged to read every thing printed in the ' blanket-sheets , ' but one having anything else to do doesn't have time to hunt through the long-drawn twaddle for a few grains of digestible food.

THE DAILY NEWS ' 9 Is an Independent , truth-telling newspaper. ' 9 The reader can count on one hand the known newspapers M whose statements in matters of politics can always be accepted * • | as at least intentionally truthful , and commonly so in fact. , 9 On the other hand , it is the all-but-universal rule to praise ; j9 one's party and candidate to the skies , and to cry down the ( | opposition party and its candidate to the verge of the disreputable. j | So common have such silly and reprehensible methods in jour- M nalism become that they pass unnoticed , and are accepted as a f M matter of course as an evil inseparable from practical politics. ' M But this is only another mistake of the thoughtless. The Ameri- M can people are intelligent enough , thoughtful enough , fair enough > H to appreciate and endorse honest , truth-telling journalism in 4 1 truth to prefer it to the misleading , the truth-discoloring dishonesty fl of the " organ. " M The demand is more and more for the fair , impartial , inde- \ M pendent newspaper which give the reader all the news , and gives j H it absolutely free from the taint of partisan bias. This done , an ' M expression of opinion , based upon facts , will commend itself to M the thoughtful reader even when he may not find himself in M agreement with the conclusions deduced from tht premises. H Disagreements are of small moment if only confidence in honesty | of purpose remains. With no mere political ambition to gratify , ' M no " ax to grind , " the impartial and independent newspaper may j H truly be " guide , philosopher and friend" to honest men holding M every shade of political faith. And this is why The Daily ' M News has to-day a circulation of over ' a-million-a-week. " ] | M. Wygant , Sibley , Iowa , writes : "I am well pleased with v k The Daily News , I bred-in-the-bone' M although am a - - - Re- publican with a carpet bag experience in the South ending in H 1872. The extreme fairness of The Daily News , giving 9 credit where due regardless of party , meets my approval. " H When to two such comprehensive elements of popularity THE DAILY NEWS fl now adds a third in its unparalleled price reduction to One Cent a day , it offers a combination of | attractions at once unique and unapproachable by any other American newspaper , and one which < jH wilL surely multiply its friends throughout the Northwest by the thousands. ; 9 The Chicago Daily News is for sale by all newsdealers at One Cent per copy , or will be | mailed , postage paid , for $1.00 per year , or 25 cents per month.
