Tbc Great Sis of Ike Charci. The great sin oi the church is the icensing of the liquor traffic.

Luther raised his protest against

this very thing in the Roman

church, and brought about the

great Reformation. The thing was

theu known as ths "sale of indulgences," and undertook to justify

men before God from their sins up

on the payment of a price into the

Roman church. License undertakes to justify

men for a Drice before the law of

our land to absolve men from any

complicity in the learlul crimes

committed witcun the saloon ana

committed without, for which the

saloon is responsible, for, as in well

known, every sin in the calendar of

crime is committed in and by the

authority and power of the saloon ;

and for all these, those who have

sold the article (which takes from

their customers all power to do

riehO are held absolved by a gov

ernment as great and powerful as

that of the United States of Amer ica.

Yes! the government, held up in

her positson by men as good and

noble as the world ever knew none

other than the noble manhood ol

the church of Jesus Christ. These

men. like Paul, are persuaded that

they do right when they walk to the

such an unholy thing as the license of the liauor traffic, which equals

Disprove the statement below, ye

followers of Jesus Christ, before you

dare to cast another license ballot :

The Liquor Traffic every crime

known to God or man.

License of the Liquor Traffic

complicity in every crime (by the power granting such license) known

to God or man. A vote for license of Liquor Traf

every crime known to Ood or man.

Be careful ! do not say it is a lik

1st. Take paper and pen and sit

down and write tbe name of every crime known to yourself, and those

which God baa named, and ask

then in earnest, if tbe saloon has

not been an agent, in any manner, to bring about any or all of these

crimes.'

2d. Ask. as you pray God for

guidance, (and you a lover of Jesus Christ have no right to ask other

wise,) if the power (tbe govern ment) which sella to a man, or any set of men, or allows to a man or any company of men, tbe right,

whether upon the payment oi a price or not, is not directly responsible for such crimes? 3d. Ask of yourself, while you pray God to show you where the guilt lies, (and a Christian wants God's opinion,) if the voter who votes tbe power of his government to license the sale of the privilege to sell intoxicants to make men drunk, that men may commit

all manner of crime, is not guilty as an arcomtilicR of the crime that

man commits? Now, Christian, stick to this mat ter until vou are able to prove be

and I am certain that we shall ans

Sit-Wav-BackTown

Up-Bittkb-Ckeek,

Mister Kditear: Christmas is of

the past, and a happy New Year ia

no more, and the glonous 4th of

July is too far away in tbe bright

future to as yet spend sleepless

nights over its celebration, so we il

lustrious citizens of Sit-way-back-

town have concluded after mature

deliberation to inform vou of tbe

fact that we are engaged in the mel

ancholy occupation of getting ready

to electioneer for somebody, for

some-kind-of -office, of some-kind-of

place, on some-day of some month

of tbe year 1902. In other words

there is going to be a primary election in the coming spring at Sit-

way-back-town, and we are not only proud of it, but we are getting ready for it.

Say, Mister Editeur, were you

ever at one oi our primaries r 11

not, you don't know what you missed. We have two kinds. One of them we call a mass meeting, and tbe other one we designate a primary election. It all amounts to the same thing, and is a distinction without a difference. Tbe same

man gets there anyhow.

A mass meeting is only a little

slicker than a primary, but the same

machine runs it. Whenever a mass meeting takes place in Sit way-

back-town on a certain day in a cer

tain year, it always comes together

at the school-house known as

were the greatest and grandest and

most enthusiastic mass meetings

ever held at the Kindergarten school of Sit-way-back-town.

The other way to express the

sentiments of the leaders of the peo

pie is what we are pleased to call i

primary election. Here is a thing which must be all fixed up before hand. The election board is made

up and oiled a long time before the

day of tbe primary, and when tbe people come to express their choice about their candidates, the machine runs as smooth as the proverbial ice after a freshet. Now, Mieter Editeur, in the near future we are to have a primary electioo, to nominate candidates for

the coming geneial election in this autumn of tbe year 1902. Sit-way-back-town is shiver'n from center to

Why the Raw Sagar Tax Sbos.d N

Repealed. Frum the "American drucer," ! at, 19UI. It is a direct tsx on tbe workingman's wages. It is an iniquitous tax if not needed for revenue, and because that which it seeks to protect needs no protection other than that essential to counteract ths bounty-fed ugars of Europe. Hawaiian and Porto Rican cane-sugar

and domestic beet-sugar sold at a no-duty price would return a bandsome margin of profit, insuring a constantly increasing output of such sugar. Raw Sugar Should be Free: Because the present taiiff is unjust, in that it encourages and produces inordinate profits, all taken from the pockets of the people, and add

ing to the cost of living. It encour-

circumference with excitement about iges ciM8 legislation. It is a mon

the various candidates. In my next

letter I will have something to say about these various candidates, and if I am not exterminated after my next letter, there will be others. So get ready for the flood of the spring of 1902. Old Moss Back.

Raw Sugar Should be Free : Because sugar is an absolute ne

cessity ot life and essential to the,

health of tbe people. Because free

sugar would greatly encourage and

increase the jam, preserve and jelly industries of tbe country. Under cheap fruit and chap sugar tbe markets of the world for these industries would be ours. Great Britain employs 150,000 working peoole in this branch of trade alone, and produces merchandise to the

value of $50,000,000 or $60,000,000

yearly. Every farmer, therefore, is interacted in this phase of ths question.

Raw Sugar Should be Free:

Because the present is s most propitious time to enact beneficial lrgialation of this kind. The government does not need the revenue, snd tbe beet and colonial cane pro ducers do not need tbe protection.

A Happy New Year to all. Tbe watch meetipg was fairly well attended New Year's eve at the church. Tbe Xmas entertainment at the

church Xmas night was good, and

Santa Claus and hia family created a sensation among the children. The tree was one of tbe finest sver bad here. Proceeds tsken in at tbe door were 127.75. All enjoyed

themselves and had a "Marry Xmas." Bro. Estas was the guest of An

Lawrence Rudolph went to Petersburg last Sunday to see his sweebeart. Ella Breidenbaufh and Maggie Becbet were visiting at Henry Hodman's. Everybody is having a bog killing time at present. Tbe people of this place gave to Bro. Betas a Xmas gift a purse of $9,85, and they hope it was appreciated. Dr. R. A. Gray is home visiting his parents and many friends and enjoying tbe holidays.

of which, so far. scant notice has

been taken, although it is believed to be to-dav the sole surviving rep

resentative of that voyage across the

Atlsntic. This doll, selected by William Peon's daughter, Letitia,

was sent by her to a little Miss Raokin, of Philadelphia, and, after two hundred eventful yean, still retains in a marked degree, much of the brightneea and beauty of those early days when she was ths pet of one little Quakeress after another. Her

drees, not having changed with the

changing fashions, is the Court dress of that period, and is made of striped and delicately tinted bro

cade and velvet; the skirt is very

full and is distended over sn enor-

m jus hoop. She is twenty inches

in height, and her figure n lojgwaisted and slender, as were tbe Court beauties in those days. The full basque spresding out from tbe

belt over the skirt enhances the

Sam jealously guards it is the process of manufacturing the fibre pa

Tbe paper ia manufactured of the finest rags, cleaned, boiled and mashed into pulp. Aa it ia rolled into thin sheets silk threads are introduced into it by a secret process. These are the distinguishing marks, making imitation of tbe paper wellnigh impossible. Tbe sheets of paper, already counted twice and placed in uniform packages at the paper mill, are stored in a Treasury vault and ieeued to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing as wanted.

Before leaving the Treasury they are counted three times more, and the receiving official at the bureau must receipt for them. Then tbe bundlee are unwrapped and the eheeta are counted 28 times by a corps of women. This ie to insure that sach printer gets the recorded number no more, no leee. If one sheet of this precious paper be loet the entire force of men and women having access to the room where tks misplace nisnt has occurred are kept in, like so many school children, to find it.
