Realizing that this. re- public was founded upon Chris-t tia'n principles and can endure only as it embodies justice and righteousness, and asserting that all authority should seek the best good of all the governed, to this end wisely prohibiting what. is wrong and permitting only what is right, hereby records and pro- claims: . ‘ DEFINITION or PARTY AND amnion- . scar er minus. 1. We accept and assert the definition given by Edmund Burke that “a'party is a body of men joined together or the purpose of promoting. by heir joint endeavor, the national interest upon some particular principle upon which they are all agreed.” We declare that there is no principle now ad- vocated, by any othef'party,which could be made a fact, in govern. ment with such benefieent moral and material results as the prin- ciple of Prohibition, applied to the beverage liquor trfiflic; that the national [interest could be promoted in 'no other way so surely and widely as by its adop- tion and assertion through K a national policy, and the co-oper- at-ion therein of. every state, for- bidding the‘ manufacture, sale, ex- portation, importation and trans- portation of intoxicating lionrs for beverage purposes; ‘that We stand for this as the only principle, proposed by any party anywhere, for the settlement of t a ,question greater and graver than any other before the American. people, and involving more profoundly than any5 other their moral future, and financial welfare; and that all the ’ patriotic citizenship of théh country L-.'_ LAKE FOREST, agreed upon this principle. how: ever much disagreement there may be as to minor considering tions and issues, should stand to: géther at the ballot-box, from“th'isr time forward, until Prohibition is theeetglblished policy of the United Bates, with 'a party in‘ power to enforce it and to insure its moral and material behefits. ' We insist that such a party, agreed 'npon this principle and policy, having sober leadership, without any obligations for (suc- mess to the saloon vote and to those demoralizing political oom- binations of men, and money now allied therewith and suppliant thereto, cock!

We submit that the Democratic and Republican perties aw alike insincere in their aseumed hostil- ity to trusts and monopolies They dare not and do not attack the most dangerous of them all, the liquor power.

AUGUST 3.‘ 1900. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian c 'mrch‘ recently gave. utterance to the follomng panti- ment: ' 1 “That this assembly respect. fully appeals to the President of the ' United States to entry the AntLCanteen law into full force and eflect, in accordance with its natural meaning and intent of Congress, by issuing an order as Commander-in-Chief of the army for the total snppi'eaeion of army saloons, at least until the Attorney General’e opinion has been thor- oughly mm by tiresome.” 'What w'e‘fant to know is‘did the president pay any attention .to thia voiée of a great and grand church body? Not a bit of‘it. He ntterly‘ ignored every word and every sentiment in that re- quest. In lioing‘so he ignored positive lawâ€"the enactment of the national 00qu â€" and through the attorney general, a Creature of his own making, he most notoriously distorted the plainest possible anglo-aaxon En- glish and twisted it into exactly the opposite of what it distinctly says, and that too in face ofithe fact that the president approved this same act of Congress on the 2nd day of March, 1899. “That no :oflicer or .private soldier shall be detailed to sell in- toxicating drinks on a bartender or otherwise, in any post, exchange or canteen, nor shall any other person be required or allowed to sell such liquor in any encamp- ment or fort, or on any premises used for military purposed by the United States; and the Secretary of War is hereby directed to issue such general order as may be necâ€" essary to carry the provisions of this section into full force and efiect." ‘ ' Can any possible language be any clearer than this? ‘ Nor shall any other person be required or allowed to sell such liquor in any encampment or tort, or on any premises used for military purposes by thefnited States." And yet it was loived at Camp Thomas, Chickthnga; CnmpCop- pinger, Mobile; Lakelnnd, Florida; and at Montank Point, and- these notorioua‘ groglhops were all in territory where the sole of intoxi- cating liquor vru prohibited by law.
