A Strange Siege.
I It Is hard for the man of the afreet to
realise tint power of weapon* that are *plr-
nnd not carnal. The organized liquor
wta of the land nro probably amased
■ »ewlldere«i over tha recent swift sue-
• ‘chsIoii of . victories for prohibition. The
thing seems Incredible; they spent the
money, they employed the lawyer* and lob
byists, they organised tbelr forces. Vet rout
la tha imtcome. Not balitg able to discern
spiritual things, they do uot take Into nc
count tha prayers of uncounted women and
men who have a strong hold upon God
had regarded as negligible quantities. Still
the fact remains that th* walls of some of
their Jericho* lie flat. „ . .
Pratt/ much the same state of mlml
tqnst nave been that of the people of
Jericho who watched the approach of Josh
ua's army. .True, tbelr heart* had l>een
molted within them at the new* of God’*
wondrous dealing* In behalf of Israel. They
were prepared to flee from a frontal attack.
But tbl* flummery scared nobody; a crowd
of silent marchers, n company of eeremo-
ulall.v-robed priests blowing trumpets, a
sacred bo* borne by priest*, more marching
men. and the whole encircling the city with
out letting loose a single arrow or driving
a military spear. The L'anannitlsh equiva
lent for "fanatics” was doubtless heard In
sneering tone* around many a Jericho camp
fire that night. '
A different note wan heard shortly. Tha
grim silence of those marchers, undisturbed
by taunta and Jeers and stones and flltb,
must have got on tin* nervea of the be
sieged. It was n universal truth which the
psalmist espressed when he wrote
quietness and in confidence shall be
strength.” Once In a Japanese lew

oven ns the Louie crowd try to “rattle” the
pitcher of the opt»on(ng baseball team. If
such a colloquialism may be permitted In
thl* connection, the people of Jericho were
“badly rattled” by Joshua's extraordinary
exhibition of confidence. That abaolute
faith «>f the marcher* whs enough to shake
anybody's bravado.
A Cowardly City.
Home cities and neighborhood* and na
tions are notoriously craven. They never
assert theuiselve* or defend themselves; ever
they full u prey to the strong. Its own
history of -defeat fought against Jericho,
just hs n sense of conquest fought with
Joshua. George Adaui Htnlth says concern

A good story will always bear

“Good Clothing on Credit.”
Now, good clothing means well made clothing
all the way through—good style, good tailoring,
good materials, inside and out. Those things
make value—they make a garment worth what
you pay for it.

■Atlanta will iecure the Rational pro
hibition Convention In the aumraer of
1908 If th. proper representation 1.
mad. before the national committee
which baa the matUr In charge.
Thla la the opinion of Charles It.
Jones, of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the committee, who. In company with
F. D. L,. Squires, of the Aeeociated
Prohibition Preaa, arrived In Atlanta
Thursday on a tour - of the' Southern
states.
Mr. Jonea declared that the leaders
of the prohibition party look with fa-
vor upon the proposition to bring tbe
convention to Atlanta.
"After January 1,” .aid Mr. Jonea,
“Atlanta will be the largest prohibi
tion city In the world, and there Is a
strong sentiment among the party lead
ers that the convention should be
brought her*. < > - ■■
Must Show Rsssons.
“When the'committee meets;ln Chi
ctgo on November 20 to select a place
of meeting AUanta should have
strong delegation present. The com
mittee must be convinced that the city
has adequate hotel service, a hall auf-
ilclently large- to accommodate the
delegates, and It must be shown that
the climate from June to August Is
good, as the convention will be held
during, that period. There will prob
ably be between eight and ten thou
sand people present and the convention
will last two or threo days. A presi
dent and vice president will be nom
mated."
The Inst convention was held In In-
dlanapplls In 1004 and 8.000 delegates,
representing 500,000 prohibition voters,
were In attendance.
In speaking of the progress of the
prohibition movement. Air. Jones said:
"We are herb to confer with tne
leaders of the Prohibition party move
ment In Georgia and other Southern
states. There seems to be quite a sen
timent In favor of Atlanta as the place
for holding the nO<t national tffotMbl-
tlon convention, which will meet be
tween tbe first of May and the first of
August next year, '
Will Bring Thousands,
“While here,' we' shall Investigate the
advantages of thla city for thla event,
which will bring together several thou
sand prohibition leaders representing
every state In the union.
“In addition to Atlanta, Invitations
will be presented to our national com
mittee, meeting at Chicago November
20 next, from Saratoga Springs. N. Y.

panied by Fred D. L. Bquires; editor- of
the Associated Prohibition press, which
Is one of the departments of our na
tlonal prohibition work. Through this
department w# are In constant touch,
not only with all the temperance and
prohibition publications, but also with
all the leading dailies and religious
weeklies. Through tills means we have

"Liquor is Doomed.”
'The liquor business Is doomed, not
only In Georgia and the South, but In
the nation as well; there Is not a state
In the Union where the beer and whisky
makers have not been placed upon the
defensive within the past twelve
months.
While the South, by Its splendid
prohibition victories In Georgia and
Oklahoma, has for thi time bring fo
cused the attention of tbe whole coun-.
y upon Its triumphant revolt against
hlaky and saloon politics, the prohibi
tion cause In the Northern states. In
stead of retrograding, as erroneously
assumed In some quarters, is making
almost equally rapid progress anil is
striking terror In the hearts of the
long-entrenched liquor forces of that
section.
Growth of Power.
"Take Illinois for example, where the
prohibitionists during the past six
months have conducted the most re
markable and successful popular agl-
tatlon\ln the history of the party
movement. With the aid of huge
chautauqua tents and a corps of some
of the best orators, singers and concert
attractions on the national prohibition
platrorm. the party leaders have held
over 1,000 rallies, covering practically
every one of the 105 counties of the
state, and reaching directly nearly two-
thirds of a million people of all classes.
At the last election the prohibition can
didate for state treasurer—W. P. Allln
—polled over 90,000 votes and carried
eleven counties and over 200 precincts
of the state, including Sangamon coun
ty and the city of Springfield, the state
capital. Thla was one of the prime
factors. In bringing about the passage
of Illinois’ new local option law, which
had been persistently defeated by the
tlqunr Interests at nearly every session
of the legislature for several years
past. Thousands who never were In
terested In the prohibition’ movement
heretofore are now among tile most en
thusiastic supporters of the Issue.
"The prohibitionists expeci to have a
presidential electoral tlcktt in the field
In every state of the Union In 1(08, and
will make the most vigorous campaign
In the forty years' history of the move
mem."
