trustees and pastor OF this church, for
its use, and kindness shown; to our

assisted in SO generously furnishing
entertainment in homes to anunusually
large convention; to Miss Marie

tribnted TO our pleasure by their sweet
songs; to Senator Clark for his grand
plain talk on the most important lines

10 our retiring president, Mrs. j.
Ellen Foster, TO whom our hearts are
linked by ties of tenderest regard and
love, through the associations OF ali
the years since the organization OF the
Iowa union, we tender grateful re-
membrauce OF her work with and for
us, and pray heavens choicest bless
ings upon her wherever in the future
she may be, still claiming her as an
Iowa woman and holding her in our
hearts sister well beloved.
Resolved, That prohibition is n
success in Iowa. That this fact has
been emphasized by the presence OF
the original package saloon during its
short reign this summer. The con-
trast it furnished to the condition we
enjoyed previous TO its invasion was a
convincing object lesson in proof OF
the efficiency of the prohibitory law.
Whereas, The shadow of the sa-
loon darkeued our borders under the
invasion of the original package de-
cision, and the terrors OF the liquor
traffic struck CONSERVATION to the
hearts of the home;

passage of the Wilson bill and shall
hold in grateful remembrance the
members Of congress who worked so
faithfully for and sustained the meas
ure with their votes.
Whereas, We believe that on the
thorough teaching OF scientific tenn
perance instruction in our schools and
colleges depends largely the future of
our children, and that in our Judgment
the old Smiths physiologies are attend
ed with disastrous results, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we ask not only
our superintendent of this depart
ment. but all w. G. T. u. women and
all temperance people to use every
endeavor to replace these books,
where they are in use, by the revised
series of the physiology known as the
Union series, or such other books us
are true to the scientific standard of
temperance teaching.
Resolved. That the prayers and
sympathy of the Iowa w. G. L. U. are
offered freely and fully to the temper
ance people Of Nebraska in the pres
ent struggle TO establish prohibition
in the constitution of their state and
we will cheerfully contribute in every
way to aid them il this great fight
against the liquor power, and we
recommend the cause in that state to
the hearts OF the people OF Iowa.
Believing that all forms OF gambling
are detrimental To good morals, we re-
joice in the advanced step OF legisla
ton in the passage OF the anti-lottery
bill by congress.
That we remember with gratitude
the members OF the Twenty third gen.
eral assembly who stood so Loyalty By
the prohibitory law and preserved 1T
for the protection OF our homes.
Whereas, The last annual meeting
of the state union directed the dele
gates to the National w. C. T. U.
convention to use their best Judgment
in relation to the action by the ma
tionalslnion upon the question OF par
tisanship and -partisanship.
Resolved, That we endorse their
action in Withdrawing from the con-
vention, after every effort had been
made to secure retrac ion from the
partisan policy of the national union,
and that we approve the wisdom OF
their course.
Resolved, That encouraged by the
advancement Of public sentiment on
the Acknowledgement of women, and
by the Success of the Wyoming law
we urge our unions to more dilligent
work in this department.
Resolved, That we call attention to
the fact that membership in local I'M
ions is based not only upon the pay
ment of dues and signing the pledge,
but also upon the subscribing to the
non-partisan policy of the state union
constitutionally expressed.
Whereas, The official organ OF our
state union, the Iowa Messenger, has
ever been and still is the exponent OF
fidelity 10 true temperance principles,
therefore,
Resolved, That we show our APP
probation of the work of our beloved
editor by more earnest efforts TO ex-
tend its circulation.
Resolved, That we especially urge
the passage of the bill in the next
general assembly forbidding the sale
Of tobacco in any form to minors; and
that we deprecate its use by our in
structions.
Whereas, The grand results OBJ
tanned through the medium of the
Loyal Temperance Legion work have
been so encouraging and reorganizing
this department as one OF our most
important lines OF work; and
Whereas, The boys ana girls OF
to-day are to be the voters, law
makers and educators OF tomorrow
and TO determine the future success OF
our cause; therefore, be it further
Resolved, That throughout our
state dlligent effort be made TO in
crease the l.. 7. L, organizations in
