in a country where every citizen has
right to his own opinion. So far as L
know, the W. c. Z. Z. of Kansas has made
no assault on any party. Individual or
official neglect of duty has been exposed in
cases where it seemed necessary. and the
cry that it was done for partisan or mer-
cenary reasons is only another proof OF the
well known truth that men judge the
motives of others by those that control
their own lives. The Kansas w. Z. 1. y.
is not partisan.
The address favors abolishing the liquor
laws by national legislation. Favored not
leaving to public schools the entire work
of teaching children temperance.
The address was followed by report OF
corresponding secretary and treasurer
The money received was 5000 and ex-
penses leaving $500 in the treasury.

of the Young Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union. The meeting was presided
over by Mrs. Mack, of Washington, who
is superintendent of the ''Y." work IN the
Fourth dist:ict. The devotional exercises
were conducted by Miss Laura Woodcock.
