To the Editor Of the Freemdn-Dear Sir /:
Will you please allow me. as one of the
readers of your excellent and valuable
paper, to make few inquiries in regards
10 the Good Templars and other temperance
organizations in this section of the Keystone
State2 l ask these questions respectfully. +.
honestly and with the best wishes for the
temperance cause, believing as do that it
is the cause of all causes-a cause all good
citizens should be engaged in. Wherefore
| | sincerely hope that those who see these
few lines will not think that l ask these
sition to the Good Templars, or any other
temperance organization. The questions
are these, viz Where are the Good Tenn
plars of this section of the State ? What
have they done in the past year to elevate
the inebriate and save others from becom-
ing inebriates z Have they become discosr-
aged and abandoned the temperance field
| I hope not. What is the reason they do
not bring SONS of their temperance champi-
ons among us to discuss this great question 2
Why are they not more aggressive? -? How
many men have they prevented in the
last year from procuring license to sell in
. toxicating drinks in this district Why do
! they not extend an invitation to the Minis
ters of the various churches to preach a
temperance sermon once in a while? Is it
not their object to go about doing good. TO
reclaim the fallen and prevent others from
falling into the drunkard's grave2
! Now, Mr.. editor, earnestly request that
some of the prominent members-district of
| ficers who wear fancy collars. &c, give
me an answer to the above questions. Let
US have more LIGHT.
Altoona City, April 9th, 1869.
