The advisory committee of the
Brewers Convention, lately held at
Niagara Falls, reported that it had
been investigating the working of the
compulsory temperance education law,
especially looking into the textbooks
used in states under this law. Their
conclusion is that "there can be no
objection to having proper views on
the abuse of alcohol taught in the
schools" and that the "errors" taught
in the new books, on hygiene are not
so glaring as to demand vigorous ac-
ton. But one part of their report
does demand vigorous action on the
part of the w. c. T. u, if it tells the
truth. 1t is that "many of the schools
have not fully complied with the law
in its spirit, while others are tacitly
ignoring the provisions of the act. 3"
No law ever enforced itself, and as
we are so constantly reminded, our
temperance educational laws were
secured by non-partisan action, no
party stands behind them to enforce
| them. The W. G. L. u. must see to
it that they are enforced Union

Go to the Polls.

If there is anything to be feared by
the Republican party as to the result
of the coming election, it is the ele-
ment of indifference and personal
irresponsibility which too often fol-
lows several years of party success. A
great majority often becomes an ele.
ment of weakness for this reason; and
the JOURNAL would thus early remind
the Republican voters of Pierce county
that the only assurance of success for
their state and county ticket lies in
going to the polls and voting a straight
ticket, even if that is the extent of
their political activity. 1t is always
safe to assume that your political
opponents will be at the polls in force,
ready to take advantage of any apathy
on your part. Particularly is this true
this year, when there are three parties
besides your own in the field, and all
actively working for the same end. the
defeat of the Republican party. The
result of such defeat would not be the
success of the Temperance, or Prohi-
bition ticket. nor of the Labor ticket.
The only result possible, and the re.
suit most to be feared, would be the
elevation of the Democratic party,
whose history in this state is such as
not to reassure the taxpayers OF
awaken a desire for its success.
Again would we appeal to every
voter who loves the good old party to
lay aside Cor day, or part of day,
all other work, and devote the time Sc
taken to work for the Republican state
and county ticket, and there will be
no fear but that Pierce county will
come up with fifteen hundred majority
to which the ticket is entitled.

Bob Ingersoll has declared that he
would like to see the laboring men
