SALEM, W. VA, June %

SALEM, W. VA, June %.
DEAR MRS JOHNSON:
Again | have the pleasure of
writing you concerning our Union.
Under the auspices of oar w. G. y.
u, the Loyal Legion of our town
Sgave SIN entertainments on last
Thursday evening; after which
the ladies gave an Lce-CFeam sup
per; but terrible storm, 80 much
interfered with the program, that
by general request, the enter
tainment was again given on Sat-
urday evening, June %. A large
crowd was present, and she child
rem entered heartily into their
work. The "Prohibition Program"
was rendered, and all seeraed pleas
ed VITA the proceedings. How we
trust that those bright-eyed boys
and gals may never have theis
lives blighted by intemperance.
After the literary exercises an Ice
Cream supper was again given and
a merry time ensued.. We cleared
a small sum, but | do not know
how much. II we only did some
little good for our State and loved
ones we feel that our time was we'll
spent.
Our Union still feels encouraged
to work in this grand cause.
Hoping that the Convention
may be success, am,
Yours in the work,
MAY RANDOLPH,
Cor, Sec.

Why Not2

If Mrs. Morgan, the Tyler county
woman who is accused of murder.
ing her husband, is guilty, the law
should take its course without re-.
gard to her SEX.
If women are incompetent be.
cause OF sex to take part in the
making Of laws, why should thew
not on the same ground be excused
from suffering the penalty of the
law ?-Mrs. Thompson IN Echo. \
The Local Government Electors
Act has passed both Houses of the
British Parliament and received
the sanction of Queen Victoria
1t gives women authority to vote
IN the election Of county officers in
England and in Wales.

EDITOR FREEMAN:

EDITOR FREEMAN:
We have had two good meetings
recently. The Charleston Glee
Cub was over and cheered US with
their Prohibition Songs, also Rev.
r. Workman gave US an interest
ing talk along the-Amendmsnt
line. We have added Is more to
our number. Our Program con.
sisted Of Reading, Speaking, Essays
and Singing. l received the pa
pers you sent me and have distrib-
used them. I was glad to get them
az | have some neighbors that do
not believe in the Amendment
We have just received quite lot
OF the Convention edition of the
Voice and will distribute them. We
need all the Amendment literature
we can get. Can you send US some
samples go we can prepare ourselves
to get what we need We contem-
plate having an Amendment Mass
Meeting and get some five or six
surrounding clubs to unite with US
and have grand good jubilee
time. Gould you furnish us good
speaker for the day? l think it
would be appropriate for Mrs. Nc
Clurkin to come as she organized
the club. | think it would do her
heart good to visit Charleston once
again and see how the clubs are
prospecting and the great good she
has done. Will let you know about
our mass meeting soon as we decide.
| am sincerely yours,

The Doll Question.

From the Union Signal, organ of
the National Wom.an's christian
Temperance Uasoa. Nd
The irony Of criticism, has re-
ceived fresh illustra ton Of late in
the onslaught made upon Miss
Willard as the enemy of childhood,
especially of that favorite toy, the
doll. Perhaps few women havs de-
voted their lives more e1olusi vely
than she has cone to the interests
of the home, orhaye set more forces
in motion to defend that Citadel
of purify and peace" as she is wont
to cali it. Bus Miss Willard did
say that the doll, as we have it, in
these modern days, fostered love
of dress and display. This is the
head and front OF her offending.
To the old-fashioned, simpl y-attired
doll we find her making no object
ion; indeed, she says that with
such she used delightedly to play.
Her Wow is, tAat living. pets e1u-
cate children on a higher plane
thanFrsnch dolls; that the fatherly
instinot needs development naops
than tbs motherly, and hence the
doll should DO for boys rs well as
girls, and that the too. exclusive
devotion of the latter to the care
of their dolls often deprives ahem
of needed outdoor exercise dulls
their curiosity concerning the
mechanism of the woald, and may
help TO explain why womsa are
not yet Inventors. She claims
that the care of dolls does not i'm
part the instinct Oh motherhood,
but that in every woman's heart
that instinct is the central motive
power, whose broadcast manifesto
ton is found in those women who
through the kindly channels of the
Christian Church, and the philan
thropies that it develops, have
shown themselves to De mother
hearted toward shat most winsome,
yet most hayward Of all children,
whom we call Humanity" Miss
Willard desires us to say that she
is confident the editorial gentle
men who have reflected upon her
womanliness of character, will, in
the light of this explanation, glad
ly do her justice by publishing he,r
true position as herein given.

LET FACTS ANSWER.
How it Prohibits In Iowa.

AS to how Prohibition prohibits
in Iowa let the eighty-six counties
free from saloons answer. Let the
empty jails of more than half the
counties in the State answer; lei
the decreased population OF the
penitentiarles answer; let the de.
creased court and criminal ex.
penses tell the story; let the test.
imony of judges, of sheirihs, Of
county clerks and auditors, OF
governors of the State, establish
the fact that the will of the people
has been effectuated in the Danish
ment of the saloon. Let the test
imony of the lately rebellious cities
where the power of public senti-
ment in favor OF law and its en-
forcement has closed the saloon,
testify that what is right to be
done, can be done, and that the
last remnant of the saloon power
on Iowa soil is being conquered.
Let the Capital of the State with
its $4,000 inhabitants, its hundred
churches ana sabbath schools, and
not one saloon, testify TO the majesty
and might of the voice Of the peo-
pie in righteous law. The very
atmosphere OF high moral senti.
ment which characterizes the
life of the State, testiSes to the
absence Of saloon corruption. The
steady advance of public sentiment
crystalized into law to meet every
device and evasion by which the
saloon seeks to prolong its life, is
manifestation of the unfaltering
purpose that has put away the
