Unnecessarily Agitated.

We have only room as we 60 to
press to caution the public against
any aspersions against the W. G,
T. U. that may appear in the State
Journal.
The Journal of to-day has a very
bad editorial in reference to the re.
marks of the W. G. L. U. President
at the Prohibition Convention.
The charges therein made are simp-
ly unfounded and the comments
utterly unwarranted. The Journal is
UNNECESSARILY agitated during this
hot convention week, and will
fell better when the political
weather is not SO oppressive.

EDITOR FREEMAN
The people of Dallas were favor.
ed with an excellent Temperance
address, by Prof. J. A. Dill of Bur.
dette, Kansas, on Monday evening,
July 23rd.
He dwelt upon the Prohibitory
Amendment issue pending in our
State, with great satisfaction to our
people. Many passages in his ad.
dress were of thrilling interest, and
presented with great dramatic
power.
We do most heartily wish that he
could give large part of his time
to our State, during the present
struggle.
We need to keep just such men
in the fed, men who thoroughly
understand the issue in all its
features and bearings, and who are
able to present their thoughts in a
prudent and forcible way.
Having passed through the tenn.
perance struggle in Kansas, exper-
fence has made him wise and prac'
tical in dealing with the foe.
He earnestly counsels the hold
ing of series of Gospel Temperance
Meetings in all the school houses
and churches throughout the State
for month preceding the election
This he would hope and expect to
awaken temperance revival
among Christian people, and quick.
en- and sustain an active interest
until the decisive battle is fought
at the polls.
He counsels the different Amend
ment Leagues to hold conventions
in the cities and rural districts OF
the State, and to appoint delegates
TO attend these, tor counsel ana
prayer over the work in which
they are engaged.
He also recommends that the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Unions and Amendment Leagues,
after the victory is gained, be con-
verified into Law and Order 80
cieties to see that prohibitory laws
be enforced, from the very begin
ming, against those who would De
disposed to resist them. This was
done in parts of Iowa and was en-
inently successful in securing the
ends sought. These counsels We
feel should meet with the hearty
acceptance of all our Unions ana
Leagues.
Let us begin Immediately W
plan and work on the line which
he has marked out. Prot. Dill Is
very confident that if the Christian
people of West Va. engage dllli,
gently and prayerfully in TINS
work, God will crown thell
efforts with success, and that III
Nov. next our State will be dell"
cred from the curse of rum.
