TEMPERANCE COLUMN I
Conducted by the McCook W C T U
ww
The nation is founded on manhood
and womanhood the saloon on the
wrecks of both
Alrendy in view of the epring election
and possible local option can be heard
the cry of tho fearful ones predicting
the death of our town should it go dry
In our opinion it were better far to die a
natural death than die of delerium tre
mens as it seems to be in a fair way of
doing at present
KEEP ON FIGHTING THE SALOON
One of the most encouraging pieces of
news which the daily papors liave
chronicled for many a long day is found
in a report of a meeting held in Chica
go last week by a so called Manufactur
ers and Dealers Club One of the
principal speakers at a banquet held
under the auspices of this organization
whatever it may be was one F P Esler
editor of Humanity Mr Esler pointed
out the necessity which existed accord
ing to his idea of combating effectively
tho efforts of the anti saloon forces and
especially of the ministers of the United
States Doubtless because there is
greatest need in this direction he called
attention first to the necessity of re
forming the saloon keepers and ended
by recommending an agitation which
shall lead to the divorce of the minis
ters and church influence from the pro
hibition question He further suggest
ed the advisability of boycotting busi
ness men who helped the opponents of
the rum traffic He then went on to
say The key to the situation is to
drive the ministers out of the fight If
the ministers preach prohibition in the
pulpit if women as in Philadelphia
will march the streets with banners
singing Onward Christian Soldiers
theres no force that can beat a fight
like that The question is not a moral
one although it has moral aspects and
no Christian minister has the right to
stand in his pulpit and preach it
If you are going to bump your head into
prohibition it is going to win But
there are always ways of sidetracking
public issues Id make the legislative
bills so bad that they would never
pass
This indeed is hopeful Hitherto
the saloon keepers have sheered at the
cloth and held up to derision the
rampant parson declaring that the
ministry is composed of effeminates who
are powerless to touch the liquor trade
Now we observe that the united minis
try is a potent force which must be re
sisted and by all the powers of a united
liquor trade Mr Geo W Peck of
Wisconsin the one time influential ed
itor best known as the author of
Pecks Bad Boy brouirht the
making to an impotent conclusion by
an address in which he reiterated the
worm eaten assertion that prohibition
does not prohibit He made such ridic
ulous statements as that in Atlanta the
real estate business is dead that in
North Dakota the railroads are refusing
passengers because they take up the
room of whisky barrels and that in
Maine boys and girls are agents for
breweries and distilleries In other
words the first speaker declared that
prohibition is ruining the liquor busi
ness and the latter speaker declared
that prohibition is booming the liquor
business
The moral of all this is that every
minister should keep on in the work of
opposing the saloon in every wa pos
sible It is evident that the saloon
keepers are on the run and ihey ought
to be prodded by the bayonets of the
Anti Saloon League they ought to be
shelled by the repeating guns from the
pulpit they should be bombarded with
arguments from the religious press
When saloon favoring speakers thus ac-
knowledge the tremendous influence of
an aroused Christian manhood there is
hope for further temperance victories
