The saloon' is the mother of misery, want aod crime. The saloon is the open mouthed bank ] wfiere the hard earned savings of the laborer and others are deposited, but | never returned. It takes the dollars and destroys the persons ability, physicially I and mentally, to make other dollars. To foster the saloon business jails, asylum?, hospitals and expensive courts have to be maintained by excessive taxes. The I merchant, banker ftnd manufacturer adds his taxes to the cost of his goods | and interest, and the fanner pays it all, with no redres&iexcept to vote for Prohi­ bition.--James Bajnes, Editor American j Swineherd. a A Talk With Young- MM. One of the commendable features of our j system of government, is that every native born citizen of this republic is | eligible to the presidency, but the candi-1 date for that office must be a man of pure morals. We will not, we cannot condone "a, man who aspires to that high office, even the errors of his youth. ] We therefore say to all young men, be | very careful of your character and repu­ tation. Character is what we are, repu- j tation is what we seem to be. How many men in the after years of their lives have | to regret some act of their early days, some spot on their character which, like I the blood in Hamlet will not "cut" at | their bidding. Money will not erase it. Influence of friends will not obliterate it. It will stand as a specter to bar their way | to positions of honor, profit and trust. Young man, examine your past life, and if you have an unblemished character, •then firmly resolve that you will so I maintain it. Think not that you can | revel in hidden, crime, and that the world I will be deceived by a fair outside. "Be sure your sin will find you out." Keep your feet away from the slime of sin, and lift your thoughts to higher, nobler aims. Avoid the very appearrnce of evil. Apply j yourself to the acquisition of useful knowledge, and then if there shall come] to you a time when your countrymen shall desire to call you to honorable I political positions, they will not have to raid the country overtoclear up scandals, | and other blots that have fastened them­ selves upon you. Be honorable and just I in all dealings, that when your services are needed in any capacity you will net | be looked upon with distrust. *- ecu 3)6*1? vaqislj fronj aiglet, Wljet?
