Gentlemen, the sword of the Spirit, Sf wielted with true godly force, will not need the aid of care nal laws to bring about its good ef fect. There are other evils far worte than that of liquor to be fought against, What docs the Lord say about it? To the drinker: “Wine is a mocher, strong drink is raging and whosccver 18 thereby deceived is not wise.” To the proud: “Woe, woe be unto the proud, for they shall be cut down and cast into hell.” To the spencthrift the Lord said the love of mioncy fs the root of all that is evil. Of the three evils, liquor seems to he the least, notwithstanding Christ tells your “HF T telifted up, I will draw all of these men unto me,” Then you may work to get na- tional temperance, but this would also be impossible, fon there is dope enough already ‘prepared to last for twenty years to ,come. So, dear Christian, lay down your elub used to ficht liquors, tone up your heart and hift up Christ as He has bade you and all will be well ‘The followinn con- ditions would exist if national tem- ferance was possible and all kinds of dope called liquor was put out of rerch: The men who love drink would use any and all kinds of de- istructive stimulants, like cocame, opi: um, and many others, to give vent ta [tet feelings, These men would hate all and despise the church We now look Inck at the past when uneducated man and wlfe lived in just almost century and raised great fanulics o| imily and womanly cluldren, despre We fact that at every crossroad there were liquor distilleries and every place ef merchandise sold liquors, from 3 |erink to’ Warrel Now it, ie calted the only cyl So, det us build stil hioases, make good Iquors, sell then At cost, nearly, and save men's Moncy Tmen’s fives and men’s souls, If you fal to do this, here is what will come: ‘Some gond man will con on the te; submission ticket and pet elected, and xt know the rest The exictence o! sthe prohititory law dees not credit the ureat men of Amcricy with self-cat trol or sclfabiltiiess it shows that al must wear a lesal muzzle to hecp $0- her Tf you fail ta adopt this in your state, you show that wealth ana tu: ucation are a detriment to the nation.

Judging from the returns of the recent electron we are are forced to the conclusion that the Democrats guessed correctly when they asserted that the majority of the Bull Moose vote would go to Wilson for president, and comparing the vote on governor in Kansas this week and on United States Senator two years ago, we are forced to believe that the Republican standpat fellows were duped by the Bull Moose and that as long as the Moose fellows are getting the plums and the standpat fellows are getting "hash-e-square-lull," this doublecross business will continue. DR FROST DIAD. The Plaindealer regrets to announce the death of one of the foremost citizens of Nashville, Tenn., and all the South, Dr. J M Frost, who was the founder of the Southern Baptist Sunday School Board. Dr. Frost was a great friend of the colored people and it was through him and his great concern that the colored newspapers are being recognized in the world of advertising. We are sorry that he was taken as there are so few good Southern white men like him who accord the colored people the same privilege they enjoy themselves. Dr. Frost was born in Georgetown, Ky, Feb 10, 1848 in the same state where Lincoln was born and we must say he was imbued with the same spirit and there is no other place for men like him but heaven The Plaindealer extends sympathy to the bereaved family.
