The Voter's Soliloquy.
How shall I vote is the all absorbing : question
ofthohour. I must vote yes or no. 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.

There are Two Distinguishing. 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. " t I

Second. 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. The farmer and mechanic can now < B
afford as well as the merchant and professional man to have his metropolitan daily. H
