"GO TO THE FOUETAIN-HEAD."

Judge Denny, while preparing to SEN
tence the Crusaders, volunteered a bit of
advice, which was this: "If you wish
to get rid of intemperance, do not try to
do it by praying before saloon doors,
but 90 to the .folntain-hedd."
If the Judge had been talking TO the
voting half of the population of Oregon,
his advice would have had an air Of be-
ing practical, which it had not, being
spoken to non-voters. Everybody
knows that men could, If they would,
have prohibitory law. But they will
not have it. The earliest settlers OF
Oregon favored temperance and prohibit
ton. The first Governor of Oregon
strongly urged it upon the Legislature
in every annual message TO that body
There was the best opportunity in the
world to keep whisky out of this coun-
try from the start, and why was it not
done?
Because men said, ''The Hudson Bay
Company have always some liquors on
hand; IL are do not sell IL, they will have
monopoly of the business" and they
did not believe in monopolies. Rather
than the H. B. Co. should drink wine
and brandy, or sell little of it now and
then, they would have everybody sell.
ing it, and everybody drinking it, to be
even with the Company. That was
eminently good logic, certainly. From
that hatred OF monopoly the evil grew
to be what It is to-day. Going to the
fountain-head would involve the reform
of these able Iogicians, and the repeal o
their laws. Can women do il?
If Judge Denny can point out wal
by which the women OF Oregon can re
neal old laws or enact new ones withou
a vote, we shall be happy to be enlight
ened. But unless he can, or unless b
can give us the ballot, advising us to g

the merest mockery. Suppose tn

THE LADIES, MEETING.

One Of the most interesting features
of the Union Temperance meetings is
the s1adies, night.". After the first
'.stage fright'' was off little, the ladies
continued rapidly tc master the situa-
tiou. and some Of them make very good
short addresses.
If those who intend to speak will only
get their subject in hand before they get
up, and speak with the object to bring
forward distinctly some idea, or tell
some anecdote, they will soon find that
they can draw large audiences, and so
enlarge their opportunity for doing
GOOD. We never felt so well satisfied
with being a woman as since we have
seen our sisters come out fearlessly for
their right, under God, to do some Oh
the worlds work in their own way.
The marks of their own bondage are
upon them yet, showing in many ways
in sad and care-lined faces, humble and
hesitating voices, faulty grammatical
construction of sentences, and ignorance
OF some Of the conventionalities. This
is to be expected Of US. We are only
ehildren-neSer have been permitted TO
grow to our proper stature-but by ana
by we shall perhaps come of age, and be
able to act accordingly. Meanwhile we
thank God for the dawn of light, and
cheer on our sisters to their Heaven-ap-
pointed work. Let everybody go to their
meetings.

COUNTY ". s. CONVENTIONS.

The time appointed by the Executive
Committee of the State w. S. Associa-
ton for holding Conventions in the sew
eral counties is now close at hand.
We hope that those Vice Presidents
who have received the instructions Of
the Committee have made the prelimi-
nary arrangements for successful rally
Of the friends OF Suffrage in their re-
spective counties. Work-earnest, per-
sistant work is all that is necessary to
make these meetings a grand success.
We have out-lived that stage of our
progress wherein ridicule was arrayed
against argument, to such an extent
and with such effect as to deter the
timid from an open expression Of their
views. 1t is now possible for persons
having a reason for the faith that i;
within them TO obtain respectful hear
ing of a respectable audience, whil'
these reasons are made plain.
And though there are many who ye
strive to silence argument, which thel
cannot overthrow by ridicule, innuend'
and misrepresentation, these, their onl.
weapons of offensive or defensive war
fare, pointless from long and constan
use, make not the slightest impression
upon the armor, triple-plated with right
truth, and justice, in which the advo
Gates of equal rights are encased.
The one thing that has so far most re
tarded the advancement of our princi
Piles in this State is the want of con
certed, united action among its leader
and friends. To overcome this was tn
design of the Executive Committee il
appointing certain days at regular in
tervals for these meetings, and furnish
ing Vice Presidents with similar an
complete instructions for carrying o
the work to the best advantage. 1t
expected that there will be at least tw
conventions held in each county b'
tween this time and the special meetin
OF the State Association, in Septembe
at Salem. See to it, Vice President
Secretaries, friends, that we are fu
nished at that tiale and place with fu
accounts of the progress of the cause
your respective counties, and be assure
that earnest persistent, systematized 1
Dor will shortly bring about the gl
rious results for which noble, self-sael
ficing men and women have so loI
worked, watched aud prayed.

ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE Ma
TI0KAL VI. s. ASSOCIATION.

For more than a quarter OF century
the representative women of this ma
ton have held annual meetings, de-
manding the recognition Of their rights
as citizens of the United States.
In halls of legislation and courts Of
Justice, as well as in Conventions,
woman's equality with man in all civil
and political rights, privileges and i'm
munities, has been debated and vari-
Ously decided by popular opinion, stat
ute law and judicial decree, without ar
irving at any permanent settlement of
the question. And until the world
learns that there should be but one code
of laws and morals for man and woman,
this question can never be settled. But
the discussion has reused woman her
self to new thought and action, and
kindled in her an enthusiasm that the
best interests Of the nation demand
should be wisely directed and con-
trolled.
The fact that women are already vot-
ing, holding Office and resisting taxa
tion; that thousands are enrolling in the
Grange movement and Temperance Cru
sade; that Woman Suffrage is to be
voted upon in Michigan at the next
election, should warn the Government
that the hour for its action has come.
1t must now determine whether wom-
ans transition from slavery to freedom
shall be through reformation or revolu-
tion-whether she shall be permitted to
express her interest in national ques-
tiOns through law by the direct power OF
the ballot, or outside of law by indiree!
and irresponsible power; and thus, by a
blind enthusiasm, plunge the nation
into anarchy.
For an earnest discussion Of the duty
of the hour, we invite all persons inter-
ested in woman's acknowledgements to
meet In Irving Hall, New York, on the
18th and 18th Of May next.
Speakers announced hereafter.

COMING.

The California State W. S. Associa-
tion will hold its annual Convention
during the coming week. The editor Of
this paper, who went as delegate to the
same from the o. S. w. S. A., will sail
for home Immediately after the close of
the session, so we may expect her on
the first steamer in May. She has been
travelling and lecturing necessarily in
the interests of the Temperance cause,
during her few weeks solourn in our
sister State.
Though somewhat worn with these
constant demands upon her time and
strength, she is still active, energetic
and determined as ever.

WE ENDORSE.

The nomination of Hon. w. c. John
son, OF Clackamas county, for District
Judge, meets our unqualified approval.
He is a man of ability, discernment,
sound judgment and strong sense of
right. In proof OF this we submit the
following resolution offered by him at
the late Convention of the State Woman
Suffrage Association, in this city:
Rcso'rod That the distinctions now existing
under the law between estates in dover and es-
tates in courtesy, by which when the husband
dies his wife has the use Of one-third OF the
real property, and when the wife dies the hus-
band has the use OF all her real property, j. am
unjust and inyidious relic OF leudal barbarism
and should be abolished.
He will, in the event of his election,
fill the responsible position named with
honor and credit to the party that has
placed him in nomination.

THE TEMPERANCE ELEMENT IN THE
COMING ELECTION.

It must be apparent to those who have
noted the agitation and consequent adj
vancement of the Temperance reform,
that the Temperance element in this
State, il rightly directed and applied,
will prove power in the coming cleo
tion. It is scarcely to be supposed that
the Convention shortly to be held in
this city, will attempt TO put forth
separate ticket.
Such a course would be both futile
and unwise-futile, inasmuch as certain
defeat would await such candidates /;
unwise, because there are already men
In the field who are Of known Temper
ance principles, whom to endorse would
give prospect of success.
Temperance, like religion, is often
{" wounded sore at her own affairs and
among her friends" by the untimely
and mistaken zeal of her votaries. The
truth is that many Of the laborers in
this cause have been more enthusiastic
than practical, and while expecting
great results, have neglected to form
feasible and sensible plans whereby
these results might be achieved.
Ii is indeed time for us TO understand
that misdirected effort, however indus
triously and vigorously carried forward,
is but waste of time-a useless eXpen-
diture of energy and a vexation of spirit.
We have long enough endeavored to
exterminate this evil tree, whose fruit
age is poverty, misery and death, by
hacking at-perehanee looping of some
of its branches. We have not as yet
been able to so much as check its vigOr-
GUS growth, much less to uproOt it.
Lodges may work, lecturers continue
their eloquent appeals, ministers exhort,
women pray, Temperance Conventions
meet, discuss the question and pass reso-
lutions, and the future will still repeat
the past and its verdict will be failure.
So long as we are afraid TO touch this
thing in politics, so long will our best
efforts be futile. The Temperance peo-
pie of this State expect of this Conven-
tion a strong, comprehensive and radi-
cal platform. They also have right tC
expect candidates to be placed thereon
who will have a chance of success, or al
least whose defeat will not be so over
whelming as to render them cause o
laughter to their opponents. This car
only be accomplished by re-nominating
the best and strongest candidates already
in the field, who can he relied upon a.
Temperatures men.
We DO not expect the greatest politica
triumph for this cause while women ar,
not allowed an expression through th,
ballot box, but even if Temperance mel
must be in a minority, they may by
: prudence, wisdom and discretion, rende
, the minority respectable host, witt
= whom TO stand were an honor
