We ask m»m of evory shade of politics, Of every creed iu religion, to join us in our earnest efforts to stop the liquor trafie and seal up the dram shops. It is unreasonable and arbitrary to demand a law which shall squelch tin1 cause of the effect we a!l deplore. Here is a mau who contributes nothing towards his* own support; he is a tax and a ritaisance, vi­ brating between the grog-shop and the station house. Sober men have to foot his bills, support his family, suffer the in­ fliction of his bad habits, and run the risk of his torch and his knife. Now is this a fair and square condition of things? Shall the innocent be burdened with the sins of the guilty? That man would take care of himself and of those who de­ pend upon him, if the liquor shops were dosed. He would contribute his share of tax toward the support of the institu­ tions bt government, and he would cease to be a scarecrow in soeiety. Now rum lights his torch; rum nerves his arm to strike the innocent; rum fires the tempter which make his mouth break out in erup­ tions of wicked speech; ruin sharpens the blade of assassination. We ask for a law of prohibition which shall say without circumlocution, "No man shall poison another man: no man shall sell to an­ other that which will deprive his mind of reason aud his heart of feeling." We de­ mand prohibition because it is in accord­ ance with the laws of self-preservation-- first law of nature; because is is practical and has worked wonders of reform where it has been carried into execution; be­ cause the tax-payers and all the decent members of society, and the w ives and children of all, are entitled to its protec­ tion; because even the dram-sellers and their drunken victims will be benefitted by it; and because it is in unison with the high and holy enactments of God in the Ten Commandments. There we find no half-Way law, no license for the commit­ ting of sin. "Thou shalt not steal," is the language of the Scriptures. He who receives nujpe^" without returning an equivalent steals. The rum-seller does not give an equivalent for the money he receives; hencevhe steals. We ask onr human legislators to echo the divine leg­ islation, and say to the dealers in rum, "Thou shalt not steal." Thou shalt npt make thy neighbor steal. "Thou shalt not kill" by selling that which does kill a hundred thousand victims a year. Pro­ hibition is a translation of the sixth com­ mandment into human law, "Thou shalt not kill"--not even for five hundred, or five thousand dollars. "Thou shalt not kill" with arsenic, nor with alcohol, by degrees or suddenly, in the city nor in the eountry. This is prohibition. We want to prohibit vice and crime,' theft and murder, and all the evils which flow from Intemperance. p. m r P; : . t- > i > ; m V • CHEATING I" HORSE BLANKETS Nearly every pattern ef Hors* Blanket is imitated in color and style. In most cases the imitation lopks just as good as the genuine, but it hasn't the warp threads, and so lacks strength, and while it sells lor only a little less than the genu­ ine it isn't worth one-half as much. The fact that & Horse Blankets are copied is strong evidence that they are THE STANDARD, and every buyer should see that tile trade mark is sewed OO inside of the Blanket.
