DEAR FRIEND:
We send you this Constitution that you

We must utilize these spring evenings in

coming familiar with the tactics of the
enemy that we may be able to combat them.
TheWoman's Christian Tenn erance Union,
representing the Motherhood of the State,
urges you to active effort before the din of
political battle comes on to stiAe reason AMI
conscience.
viii you not send me names of other per.
sons in your County who would organizes
CLUB and lead in this work for the Homef
Ii you think Union could do more effec-
tive work, send at once for Constitution and
plan of work for W. 7. U.

Miss Simpsons Victory and How
It Was Achieved.

We give the report of Miss Simp-
sons brave defense of the homes of
Point Pleasant, before the County
Court, as reported to the Wheeling
Register:
A special telegram to the Beg
lister from Point Pleasant, w. Va,
April 9Th, relates an interesting in
cident which occurred in the court
room of that place on the above
date. The County Court was in
session and an application to sell
liquor in the town of Clifton was
under consideration. Two petit
tions, one for and the other against
the issuance of the license had been
presented. The former contain ed
the names q one hundred and
twenty-three voters, the latter in
Guiding more than two hundred
names, but s.las! only eighty-fve
were voters. The other names,
however, were those of women and
children, the chief sufferers from
the accursed traffic in intoxicating
drinks. The attorney tor the ap,
plicant presented at the same time
the application and the two petit
lions, not failing in his plea to call
attention to the fact that the pro-
testing petition was signed largely
by women and children. Now it
seems that a daughter of the license
applicant was employed at the time
in indexing the county records, and
in her hearing it was reported that
the license would be granted,
Arising from her desk and throwing
her apron aside, she fastened to
the court room and asked permits
sion to be heard. This granted, she
began az appeal such as never
came from woman in that build
ing before, and was rarely, if ever,
excelled before that bar. Refer
ring to the statement of the attor-
ney concerning the women and
children she said: "True, they are
not voters, but they are American
citizens, and as such they demand
the right guaranteed them in the
Constitution of the United States,
namely, the right of petition" AS
she concluded the court re- consider
ed the order and adjourned, no IL
cense being granted. All honor to
the young lady! Would that all
the women of this State realized
the necessity for immediate action
lon this great question!

ED. FREEMAN:

ED. FREEMAN:
Rev. w. NJ. Weekly addressed
our people on the Amendment re-
Gently and we had a good time.
There was o crowded house to hear
the issue discussed in a -parti
san wav. The speaker gave the
License system a regular scoring
The able discourse was well receiv-
ed by all and did great good, except
in the case of a few soreheads who
declare they will not vote for the
Amendment if there is a Third
party ticket in the field. The meet
ing gave Freeport big boom.
The Amendment is getting
stronger and will have majority
here. After the address, a League
was formed with III. B. Prible as
President and Charles R. Lane,
Secretary.

Mrs. Jennie McClurkin has been
appointed delegate at large to the
National Prohibition Convention,
and Mrs. Jane A. Johnson, provi-
sional delegate. Those ladies are
both in favor Of Woman Suffrage.
We trust they will not need to
stand up for their rights at a Third
party Convention. The ladies will
await with interest the action of q
party that solicits their attendance.

Neither of US are given to stand

doubtless vote for them, when the
opportunity presents itself.
