And will never surrender the fight until
we have put whisky out of the sight in
this old country. Applause Let the
shots that have been fired in Georgia
against this internal traffic be heard re-
verberating through every State in the
Union. lApplause.] These mothers are
tired of seeing their boys and husbands
going down to drunkards graves, and feel
that if you men don't do something TO
stop this abominable traffic the good
women of this country will rise up some of
these days and put the accursed stuff out of
the country forever. [Applause.l

But want 10 see the day when every poor.
broken hearted woman and mother and
wife III this country Can vote the stuff out

YOU Amt FIT FOR ANYTHING BUT THE
GOATS TO BUTT YOU,
And l would hate to be the goat that had

NO PURE GIRL CAN AFFORD TO GO ON A
BALLROOM FLOOR.
! Applause. " Amen''] As an honest man
trying to lead pure life, would never act
towards another mans wife or daughters
| in any other manner than / would want
him 10 act towards mine, and don't want
/ to see a man with his arm around nv
wife or daughters, therefore l never do il
myself. lApplause.] There amt boy in
town that would 20 TO a stag dance.

| presence OF the opposite sexes. Whatever
| becomes of US, let US see that our daughters
are pure. [Applause.]
SOW BATHROOMS AND REAP DUDES AND
| DUDINEs.
[Laughter.] | believe that dudes stole a
march on Providence, for | don't think
that when God put Adam in the Garden OF
Eden he had any idea of making a dude
[Laughter.] Sow dude and reap a thin
blefal of calfs-foot jelly. Laughter. ]
Sometimes have thought
IT IS NO HARM TO KILL DUDE,
Because murder is the unlawful killing Of
a human being. [Laughter.] What do you
want of them? DO you know what dude
is? He is a little pimple on the body Of
| society, demonstrating that It's blood is GU,
