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 *4W the second champion wrestler of , defend his title ngalust a new-comer—a quiet, modest man. The champion was The "ploug talk” of preacher* they plainly made anxious by the unpretentious nMMUrniiee of tbe other. He waa defeated in mind Wtforo he came to grins with bit adversary—and then he waa thrown out side of the ring. He bad been “rattled, 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 ing Jericho: "Her. people seem never to have beep distinguished for bravery; aud. Indeed, I>| Hint climate, how could they?

So great nut a waa I torn la Jericho; no heroic deed waa ever douo lu her. Hhe has been called ‘the key’ and 'the guard A good story will always bear repeating. So let us say again : “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.

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.

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.
