^OBJECTS AND AIMS
| j - OF THE -
j ^ PROHIBITIONISTS.
t
By contract with the editor of
the: Newport Independent this
column and perhaps one other
will be devoted to the interest of
prohibition for the next three or
four months. Original and se
lected matter will be furnished
from different sources and any
friend of temperance or prohibi
tion in Jackson county is re
quested to send in items of in
terest from time to time.
The recent prohibition conven
tion at Indianapolis was charac
terized by an enthusiasm born of
strong faith in the ultimate tri
umph of the principles they ad
vocate.
Dr. Silas C. Swallow of Harris
burg, Pa., was chosen as the
standard bearer of the party and
nominated for the presidency of
the United States by acclamation,
and George W. Carroll of Texas
for vice president.
We do not expect to see a pro
hibition president installed at the
white house after the next elec
non, Dui.we wm seen some uay,
and that in a shorter time than
many believe. The liquor traffic
is fraught with evil and with evil
only, and when the public con
science is more fully educated
and men waked up to the enor
mity of this traffic, like other
and very much less evils, the
people will rise up in their might
and hoist this monster from his
place of power and bring to
themselves freedom from a ser
vitude more galling and a tyran
ny more exacting than any auto
crat ever placed upon the necks
of a free and independent peo
ple.
THE PLATFORM ADOPTED.
The following is th e platform
adopted:
“The Prohibition party, in
national convention ^assembled
at Indianapolis June 30, 1903, ;
recognizing that the chief end
of all government is the estab- j
lishment of those principles of !
righteousness and justice that
have been revealed to man as
the will of the ever-living God,
and desiring this blessing on
our national life, andibelieving
in the perpetuation of the high !
ideals of government of the;
people, by the people and for j
the people, established by our
fathers, makes the following
declaration of principles and
purposes:
“1. The widely prevailing sys
tem of the licensedSand legal-!
ized sale of alcoholic! beverages
is so ruinous to individual in
terests, so inimical to public
welfare, so destructi , e to nation
al wealth and so subversive to
the rights of great masses of our
citizenship, that the destruction
of the traffic is and for years has
beep the most important ques
tion in American politics.
'32. We denounce the lack of <
h statesmanship exhibited by the
leaders of the Democratic and
Republican parties in their ro
isaL \
fusal to recognize the para
mount importance of this ques
tion and the cowardice with
which the leaders of these par
ties have courted the favor of
: those whose selfish interests are
advanced by thelJcontinuation
and augmentation of the traffic,
until today the influence of the
liquor traffic practically domi
nates national, state and local
government throughout the
! nation.
j TO WIPE OUT LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
“3. VVe declare the truth,
demonstrated by the experience
of half a century, that all meth
ods of dealing with the liquor
| traffic which recognize its right
j to e$ist in any form, under any
system of license or tax or regu
lation, have proved powerless to
remove its evils and useless as
checks on its growth, while the
insignificant public ^revenues
which have accrued therefrom
have seared the public conscience
against a recognition of its in
iquity.
“4. We call public attention to
the fact, proved by the expe
rience of more than 50 years,
th t to secure the enactment and
enforcement of prohibitory legis
lation, in which alone lies hope
of the protection of the people
from the liquor traffic, it is nec
essary that the legislative, exec
utive and judicial branches of
the Government should be in the
hands of a political party in har
mony with the prohibition prin
ciple and pledged to its embodi
ment in laws and to the execu
tion of those laws.
“5. We pledge the Prohibition
party, wherever giveq, power by
the suffrage of the people, to the
enactment and enforcement of
laws prohibiting and abolishing
the manufacture, importation,
transportation, a,nd sale of al
coholic beverages.
‘ ‘6. We declare that there is not
only no other issue of equal impor
tance before the American people
today, but that the so-called is
sues on which the Democratic
and Republican parties seek to
divide the electorate of the coun
try are in large part subterfuges,
under the cover of which they
wrangle for the spoils of office.”

There is a tag difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest maimer. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
