| young men of our State must fall.
| On the morning of June 10Th, just the
day after the election, one of the daily
papers had ali article headed, "what shall
| we do with the boys" Speaking of the
unemployed boys on the street, the person
said ''they should be taught something
more elevating, and more generally prac-
teal than shining boots, collecting cigar
stumps, investigating slop barrels, gather
| ing rags, etc. We know that only evil can
come out of that kind of life, and Penn
syvania let the golden opportunity pass to
| forever take from these street waits, the
temptation of the saloon, for there is where
death turks for the unwary feet of the
| homeless boy, be he foreign or American
| born. Pennsylvania poured out her treas
ure to relieve the suffering at Johnstown,
opened heart and hand at the call for aid
and then in few days closed heart and
hand against the children of her own CON-
monwealth, who will, by thousands, fall
into and be lured to death in these licensed
gilded palaces of SIM
We are not defeated, not showed under.
No! thank God principle can not be de-
feated, we stand out in the broad sunlight
of Gods grace and know His approval
rests upon us. The only thing that we be-
lieve is showed under is non- partisan Pro-
| hibition.
We have much cause for joy-twenty-
nix maj no
Amendment means something-eight conn
Ties in Pennsylvania have had no license
for a long time. Forest county has been
without license four years. Warren conn-
ty about eighteen months. Since June 80
there has not been licensed house in In
diana county.
For twenty years there has not been Ii
censed hotel or restaurant in Potter CONN.,
ty, and Judge Williams says 'the county
has steadily grown in population and bust
ness, while pauperism and crime has stead
lily decreased"
So we never expect to occupy neutral
ground when there is height above to be
reached by courage and faith. Every one
who worked for the success of the Prohibit
tory Amendment in Pennsylvania, every
one who voted for 1t, can now wash their
hands of all the crime which will come
through the liquor traffic.
He who voted to have the saloon remain,
voted against his own family, voted that
wives should still be beaten, children
should still be ignorant, half-fed and half
clad, paupers should still be created, the
state should still take a revenue from that
which disgraces and destroys its subjects,
the home still be in danger, the purity and
innocency of childhood DETAINED, mother
hood uncrowned, God dishonored and dis
owned If the saloon business is still per-
mitted to fasten its coils around the inno-
cent and unsuspecting, the coming years
will tell as the gears do noao, of withered
lives and hopeless deaths, blasted fortunes
and ruined homes.
So beloved, we women have buckled on
the armor for the conflict knowing that we
stand for principle deep, wide and as
high as Heaven.
And right the day must win
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be SIM"
He who stitch upon the throne says:
'sWrite the vision, and make it plain upon
tables, that he may run that readeth it.
"And it shall come to pass that in all the
land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall
be cut off, and die, but the third shall be
left therein. And l will bring the third
part through the fire, and will refine them
as silver is refined, and l will try them as
gold is tried, they shall call on my name
and l will hear them, will say this is my
people, and they shall say the Lord is my
God. "-Henrietta H. Forrest, IN White RID
