WOman's Rights.

This is where the editor of the
Crescent stands on the question of
Woman's Rights. The most exact
ing of us wouldn't have demanded
so much. BARRING few of the pu-
gilistic planks, we endorse the plat
form, and honor the chivalry of the
editor:
"To some, extent, at least, we are
in favor of women's rights. Wo-
man has the right to oppose the
whisky curse. She has right to
defend her home and precious dar-
lings against the brutality of a
drunken husband. She has the
right to defend her son from it's al
Turing influence. She has a right
to, and should see that her daugh-
ter does not keep company with a
young man who imbibes. She has
right to see that her daughter
does not marry a drunkard. She
has a perfect right to use every eff
fort to drive the curse from the vi
cinity in which she is raising boys
and girls. She has a right to horse
whip the degraded wretch who sells
her son whisky. She has a right
to be heard both publicly and pri-
vately on the question. Her name
to a petition to the Legislature for
the suppression of the curse has the
right to command twice the atten-
ton and count double as much as
that of a voter, andshe has a decid-
ed right to have her requests re-
spected in this matter. She has a
perfect right to dictate to her hus-
band and sons as to how they shall
vote on the temperance question,

Our wv. C. Z. U. Organ.

Said Mrs. Tudor, State Superin-
tendent of Literature for Maryland,
after looking over the w. C. I. U.
page of the FREEMAN, off you wo-
men of West Virginia don't do ef-
fective work and make solid and
rapid growth with such an organ
at your command, you ought to be
ashamed"
She took a number Of copies of
the FREEMAN to show the temper
ance people Of Maryland, and ex-
pressed her determination to see
what could be done toward securing
a similar medium of communica-
ton for the W. G. T. U. of that
State.
We repeat this, that our own wo-
men may have juster apprehen-
sion of what costs US so little and
yet is so invaluable.
We are sure there is no inten-
tional neglect or lack of apprecia-
ton of our paper, but we are just as
sure that proper consideration of
its benefits would lead to renewed
oaou+o - 10 Ioho1f
Do you ask how it shall be done p?
Try and realize that it belongs in
part to you, and feel interested in its
success editorially, and financially.
Do all in your power to make It
page to which you can point with
pride.
Give the cause for which it is la
boring some of your best, freshest
hours of thought and put these into
short, suggestive articles for its col
umns. Send every item of interest
bearing upon the work that you
can gather.
Urge every member of your I'm
ion to subscribe, that they may
keep posted on the rising of the tenn
perance tide in order to become
sufficiently interested to do the
work laid out by your local Union
in order that they may know WHAT
OTHERS are doing and how THEY
MAY DO.
Send your neighbors the paper
till they become interested, then
urge them to subscribe. Work tor
it's circulation as if you really be-
lieved you had lot and part in it..
1t may not be all that you desire
it, all that it might be. But have
you done aught to better it? Don't
condemn, but help. 1t is the best,
ALL we have-labor to make it bet
ter. Speak frankly to it's editor.
She will gladly accept any sugges-
ton or receive any criticism.
Only let us labor together for its
increased usefulness and interest.

especially when it does not conflict
in any way with their fixed polltl,,

when it is dangerous for men in

disregard the wishes of the women

soon follow such an act.

Report of Committee on Secnr
ing a Day of prayer During
Week OF Prayer.


Our readers will be interested in
the following Report from Mrs FL
len Watson, Superintendent of De-
partment on securing "Temperance
Day" in Week Of Prayer:
To the Womam'a National Christian
Temperance Union:
BosToN, MASS. October q, 1880.
Your committee come before Won
with areport full of encouragement
SO full, in fact, that we hardly
know how to lay it before this con-
vention. Our sisters all over the
land have aided US in every imag.
Unable way. Illinois had dupii.
cate blanks struck off, and sent
them to every temperance organ
ization in the STAGES. Maine sent
US three conferences inside of ten
days; Iowa sent four presbyteries
and the State Sunday-School Con-
vention rolls; and rolls of sigma
lures came from the pastors of
Michigan; Massachusetts, sent one
hundred and FIVE Unions in one
roll, each Union signed officially
by the President and Secretary:
Boston sent US Joseph Cook; New
Hampshire secured Neal Dow, and
sent him on in company with forty
six ministers; State after State
signed officially and sent in the
majority of their local Unions, and
now we have every reason to be-
lieve that many committees will
be appointed to assist in this work.
We are under great obligations
to ministers and Christian gentle
men all oyer the world for sigma
lures and for letters of encourage
ment and sympathy. We are sor-
ny that the want of time and space
makes it utterly impossible to tell
how many endorsements have
reached US from General Assem-
blies, Synods, Conferences, Presby-
teries, State Temperance Alliances,
and Sunday School Conventions;
four annual M. e. Conferences and
the Presbyterian Synod of Erie
have been added to the list within
the last six weeks. We gratefully
acknowledge the signatures of W.
E. Dodge, Theo. L. Cuyler, Albert
G. Lawson, J. n. Stearns, and other
officers of the National Temper
ance Society; also of George H,
Stewart, Clinton B. Fisk, Felix R.
Brunot, VIM. Clafin, H. Thane
Miller, J. Fl. Vincent, S. ], Niccols
and other members of the Amer,
can Branch of the Evangelical AL
lance, and feel like taking up
more than our honest allowance Of
time by reading letters and sigma
lures that came from India, Chi
ma, Japan, Siam, Turkey, Syria,
Egypt, Greece, Denmark, Sweden,
Prussia, Germany, England, Ire
land, Scotland, Canada, and our
own Alaska. One writer says:
"Intemperance is alaoays one of the
greatest obstacles missionaries have
to contend with"
Your committee are fully i'm
pressed with the necessity of unit
ing the Christian Church in this
warfare on the liquor traffic; they
also believe the temperance cause
has a right to day in the Week of
Prayer, and they expect to work on
till the request is granted, knowing
it will not take many years, as they
already have the promise of hearty
cooperation from Christians all
over the world"
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. ELLEN M. WATSON, Chairman.

cago, Ill. And as far as possible
have each member take the FREE-
,MAN, as it's columns contain intor-
nation in regard to our local work,
reports of the various Unions
throughout the State; as well as
suggestions how best to direct the
forces.
Your Pres't should order from Mrs.
Caroline Buell. Little 10c book on
parliamentary law prepared ex-
pressly for our w. c. T. U. This
will enable her to dc business after
a business fashion and that is one
.important lesson we women have
yet to learn.
Have "Question Box" every
meeting with slips Of paper on
which are written pertinent ques-
tio2s. Let these be among them;
Who are our National officers?
Who are our State officers }?
How many and what depart
ments of labor has the Won ans
Christian Temperance Union?
How many are organized in West
Virginia and who are their Super
intendents?
Which of them can our Union
engage in with prospect of useful
ness?
Any information desired with
regard to any of these divisions of
labor may be had by addressing
the National or State Superinten-
dent of that Department.

have, free of charge, The Directory

ance Union, and every officer and

these.

Although number Of these sug-
gestions have been made before in
these columns, the fact that | am
still receiving the same questions
shows need of their repetition.
You see, if every worker reads
the FREEMAN, this necessity would
be done away with.
But we do not complain, as we
said before; we are only too glad to
give the help and see the work go
on, and we urge all to ask any
questions, and we will answer
through the FREEMAN, and invite
comment and suggestion from any
source.
