regret to have to announce that, in
our opinion, it will fail for reasons

can be had, but the price demanded

He laughed so hard that it has
created within us sweetness and
good humor that it will take much
of party spleen and bitterness to
eradicate.
Miss Mosher's talents as reader
and elocutionist helped to make
this day long to be remembered.
Sunday was beautiful day, and
before noon fully 5000 people were
on the ground.
The day was opened with an old
style Temperance experience meet
ing under the lead of Col. Hoy. 1t
would have done your soul good to
hear the Prohibition testimony of
brethren from the Pan Handle,
Maryland and Virginia.
Rev. Rumsey Smithson, Of
Alexandria, Va, then preached two
magnificent sermons, which capped
and keyed the glorious arch of
argument which had been building
during the week, with the indis-
pensable keynote OF moral prlncl-
pie. The morning subject was
"God in Government and in
Politics" In the afternoon "The
goring OK who is responsible ?"
Thank God for those two sermons,
and may He grant that the
terrible responsibility be impressed
on the conscience of the Church
and arouse it to action.
Mr.. Hawks proved that he could
be serious and impressive in his
earnest exhortation after Rev. r.
Smithson's sermon.
The night was given to Mr..
Thomas and Mr.. Smithson who
most solemnly and impressively
closed the eight days service by
forcible appeals for instant and
earnest work. Work! Work /!
Work II! ! was the burden of their
discourses, and we know that their
appeals will not be in vain.
The East strikes hands with the
West, and our State is united in
the great struggle for Constitutional
Prohibition.

A Splendid Body.
Excellent Legislation and Grand
Good Time.

Reported for The Freeman.
The Grand Lodge l. o. G. I. of
West Virginia met in Martinsburg,
Sept. l, 2 and 8. Nearly 200 mem
bers were present from all over the
State and it was remarked that q
more intelligent and earnest body
never assembled in the eastern
Pan Handle, The private sessions
were marked by close attention to
business, and while cheerfulness
and good humor prevailed, levity
and empty chat were absent.
The reports from the delegates
were full of encouragement, and
clearly proved that the energetic
canvass made this year under the
management of the Good Templars
has done much to push West Vir
ginia into the forefront of the fight
between the Home and Saloon.
Two PUBLIC MEETINGS were held,
we'll attended, and addressed by
Messrs. Cornwell, Carter, Freer,
Hetzel, Martin and Thomas, and
soon, before the adjournment of the
Lodge, cheering news was received
of Prohibition converts enlisted
upon the Home side. There was
much important legislation in the
interest of the Order, providing for
the retention of State Lecturer
Thomas, and continuous canvass
for Good Templary and Prohibition
throughout the coming year.
A COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATION
was appointed, which will confer
with the Executive Committee of
the w. G. T. u, and have full
charge of the Good Templar effort
for Constitutional Prohibition and
Scientific Instruction. This COM
mittee is constituted as follows:

NOW'S THE TINE TO PUSH

Our special offer, as already an
nounced, is to send THE FREEMAN,
at rate of One Dollar Year to all
new subscribers secured between

The FREEMAN has no other bust
ness or purpose than to render the
best possible service in the cause

sible constituency.
If it can materially enlarge itg
constituency, it can come and con-
tinue to come at one dollar. 1t is
for our friends to say whether its
subscription lists shall be doubled
or trebled. If they so decide, the,
matter is settled.
If Prohibition sentiment is de-
veloped and crystalized into law, it I.
must be done largely through the
medium of Temperance papers,
To get these papers into fami-
lies, requires the active work Of
friends in every neighborhood.

MEMORIAL TO THE LEGISLATURE.
The following memorial was
drafted, will be signed by the Exc

houses of the Legislature early in
the coming session.
We, the Grand Lodge of l 0. G.
T. of West Virginia in Annual
Convention assembled, represent
ing nearly 100 Lodges throughout
the State, do respectfully memorial
ize your Honorable body to enact a
law, providing for the teaching in
all schools supported wholly or in

and Results of alcoholic stimulants
upon the human system"
We, also, most urgently pray
that bill be passed submitting to
vote of the people, Constitution
al Amendment, prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating beverages in this State.
We believe that the people should
be granted the Democratic right Of
a vote upon a question Of such
vital Importance to the future of
our Commonwealth.

Sentiment was manufactured by
the ton, and votes were made by
the score at the great Temperance
camp meeting at Shenandoah
Junction, jefferson county, Aug.
1928.
The originators builded better
than they knew, and unbounded
credit is due to our neighbor, John
O. Aglionby Esq, whose zeal, energy
and money made the affair possible,
The eastern Pan Handle and the
neigh boring counties in Maryland
and Virginia have been aroused to
a pitch of enthusiasm which will
not soon be allayed.
All the addresses dealt with the
remedy rather than sentimental
platitudes, and the most radical
utterances were greeted with un-
stinted applause.
A STIRRING EPISODE. PARTY STRONG
Elk THAN PRINCIPLE.
At the very outset, John L..
Thomas struck the keynote of
local politics when in straight
forward terms he impeached our
late Senator, Major Melvin, with
having "broken mis- pledge to the
Temperance people, stultifed his
record and convictions, and violated
his Son of Temperance obligation
in voting against the submission
bill in 1888"
Mr.. Melvin was in the audience,
sought Mr.. Thomas, and made a
statement to him which gave our
Lecturer an opportunity which was
not lost. On Sunday afternoon be-
fore an audience of nearly 5000
people, Mr.. Thomas said SUBJ
stantially:
"Mr. Melvin desires me to make
a statement and l do SO most gladly.
He denies having made any direct
pledge to sthe Temperance people
of this district as to his action on
granting to the people of the State
the Democratic right to vote upon
the great public question of Prohi-
bition. He says he received a
letter from Shepherdstown COM
mittee asking him to SO pledge
himself, but he replied that they
ought not ask him for a pledge ;
they knew his record as Christian
and Son of Temperance, and they
ought to take him upon faith. 1
asked Mr.. Melvin if his vote
against submission was not q
violation of his S. of T. obligation,
and he was not prepared to reply.
asked him next what he intended
the people to infer from the words,
Nthey ought to take me on faith"
He replied that his convictions all
inclined him to vote for submission,
that he had intended to do 80, but
he found that the vote on the
question would be close, one or two
votes either way would decide it's
fate; he remembered he was elect
ed as Democrat, by Democrats, to
represent the Democratic party,
not as a Temperance man, by
Temperance men, to represent
Temperance; so believing that the
interests of the party we're in
Jeopardy he cast aside his own
conviction of right and justice and
voted for his party and against
submission. In short, Mr.. Melvin
asked you to take him on faith; you
did take him on faith, you were
most bitterly disappointed, and
you don't propose to b disappointed
any naoreP '
The deafening applause that
greeted the last sentence was an
emphatic endorsement of the
speakers utterance, and that
endorsement will be again manifest
at the polls.
