On September %, John q. Woolley
was the speaker at Central Music Hall,
i'll one of the great Moody meetings,
which are as much a feature in the
Worlds Fair program for Chicago as
the Fair Itself Mr.. Woolley's sub
ject was 1.-THE Responsibility of the
Government toward it's Citizenship"
The report that comes to this office is
that this speech is the most thrilling
presentation of the cruel liquor traffic
that the present decade has heard;
that the speaker "broke his record" on
this special occasion; that the power
of language to reveal, to probe, to en-
force esponsibility upon human will
was a revelation even to platform
hangers-on. The audience was wax
under the sound of Mr.. Woolley's
voice, as almost with cheers it respond
ed to his picture of the citizen Christ
ian and Christian government. The
state and the church that does not
yield to the drawings OF Christ so lift
ed up might almost fear the doom of
Sodom. a hundred such fearless
men to present the truth in the pull
pit would make the ballot box sacred
as the altar and God in government
the motto of living republic.

The Use of stimuIants by Women.

The use of stimulants by women is
alluded to by the Boston Medical and
Surgical journal. which does not re-
gard the habit as widely spread. 1t
goes on to say that the habits which
have been commonly considered toler-
able in men, but intolerable in women,
appear to be losing their exclusiveness
in England, at least, and to be inyad-
ing the ranks of the female sex from
the top of the social scale. This has
recently been the subject of a some
what sensational address by Lady
Frederick Cavendish, before the Ma
tional Congress of the Church of Eng
land, in which the use and abuse of al
cohol and tobacco among the ladies of
the kingdom are graphically described.
She asserts that such objects as "nips,"
Cocktails" and "B. and SIS" and the
flavors of different brands of cigarettes
are as well understood by the female
as the male portion of large and
fashionable set, and that the custom is
becoming common for ladies to accom-
pany gentlemen to the smoking room
after dinner, and smoke and tipple
with them on equal terms. Drunken
ness among well-to do women in Eng
land has been known to exist for some
time, and the inference is that it is not
decreasing, but is rather stimulated by
the liberal behavior of the fashionable
classes.
In this country this condition of
things does not enjoy the same social
tolerance; but it is interesting to no
tice that on the same day that Lady
Cavendish addressed the English aud
ience the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union in New York listened to a
speech by Mrs. Nelson, in which she
claimed that large and constantly
increasing number of American wOm-
en- were habitually using different
stimulants, especially opium.-N. Y.

And that no man might buy or sell

Without referring TO what may have
been the original meaning of these
words, it must be admitted that they
apply to the license system Of our day.
No man can traffic in liquor save he
has the mark of the beast, which is a
license How long will the State dis
grace itself by licensing the most gi-

A Way to Make Our Meetings More In
terestinC.

teresting.
In answer to the question asked by
one of our local presidents, how can
we make our meetings more interest
ing, would suggest as the first thing
to be done-get your members to sub
scribe for the Union Signal and the
LEADER and when they do that and
read enough to see how grandly the
temperance work is advancing in the
world, there will be so many things to
tell about at the meetings and SC
much interest felt in the grand work
we are permitted to engage in, that
really the hour set apart for the meet
ing will not be half long enough. Ev-
cry local union ought to have reports
at every meeting from the officers and
suserintendents of departments. If
the superintendent of the different
departments will do their duty from
one meeting to the next, they can in
terest temperance union and enter
tain it delightfully."- and fill every heart
with sweet hope of better times in
the future. No one can more thor
oughly than l sympathize with the
president of local union, who is anx-
ious to see the work progress and feels
willing to make almost any sacrifice
for such a result and yet find only a
few, very few, ready to operate
with her in making the meetings all
they should be. 1t is indeed discour-
aging to go month after month to the
place of meeting and find only the
faithful few in attendance. 1t is a
great hindrance to the cause, and I
would that every temperance woman
might fully realize how much good she
can do by simply giving her presence
at the meetings and always wear the
white ribbon. l wonder that SO many
forget or neglect it. Surely no one of
our number can be ashamed of that
beautiful badge that typifies all that
is high and holy-all tina is pure and
true.
One of our members suggested So
cial meeting once month at the resi-
dence of one and then another of our
white-ribbon sisters and in order to
make as little trouble and work for
hostess as possible, she suggested that
each lady prepare lunch, just enough
for one person, and put it into her lit
tie basket along with cup and saucer.
When all had assembled at the house
of entertainment, the company would
sit together busy on some little fancy
work or whatever could be easily car
ricd along; or if they preferred an
evening of literary and musical enter
tainment, appropriate readings, white
ribbon songs or even discussian of
some plan of temperance work might
be carried out for an hour or more.
The business of the hostess would be
to have the table spread and furnish
tea and coffee. After the lunch was
eaten the cups and saucers would be
returned to the baskets and in that
way much of the DISTINGUISHING avoid
ed.
Ofcourse this is only for the enroll
ed members of the w. C. r. U. as a
means of bringing them together So
cially, and in this way awakening an
interest in the work.

The direct action of alcohol as mar
cotic resembles ether, chloroform and
morphine, and like them brings more

these poisoning effects to the social

An excellent plan has been adopted
by the National Prohibition press bu-
reau, whose headquarters are at 10
East 14th Street, New York City, for
introducing into the Demorest con
test system medals for original compo-
sitions. Three classes of original pro-
auctions are admitted as follows:-
First, For the words of temperance
or prohibition song, not to exceed four
verses of eight lines, with chorus if
desired Second, For the best dramat-
ic recitation ON temperance or Prohi-
bition, not to exceed one thousand
words. Third, For the best short sto-
ry of not more than fifteen hundred
words on temperance or Prohibition.
For each of these solid gold medal
is given. This will not in any way in
terfere with Mr.. DemoreStS generous
plan for recitation contests which will
be carried on as usual. We quote
from the circular: at is intended to
make this system self-sustaining and
in this way spread before the masses
the truth concerning the liquor traffic.
It gives an opportunity to thousands
of contestants who are debarred by
the rules from competing again for
Demorest medal, and will arouse
new interest in the contest work. Tenn
perance workers throughout the coun-
try should at once take hold of this
system and push it. Young men and
women, high school and college stu
dents, will deem it an honor to win
these medals. Any live person can
get up contest. Secure the contest
ants, the place of meeting, send for
the medal and advertising matter, pre-
pare good music, have a businesshke
chrisman, competent judges and a
good program, and success is certain"

How Inducements Arc Held Out to
Young Men to Enlist.
In Eighth avenue there is recruit
| ing Office for the United States army.
| In front Of the premises during bust
ness hours is situated an orderly whose
erect figure, bright new uniform and
fine soldierly bearing are well calcu-
lated to make a favora ble impression
upon the minds of discOntente d young
men who may be taken with a sudden
impulse to enter the service of their
country. On the streets in the neigh
borhood there are generally to be seen
two or three robust and well-fed young
men in the uniform of privates from
whose leisurely manner it might be
easily inferred that in time of peace,
at least, the soldiers lot was quite
happy one. ''The whole scheme is q
slick one was the remark of an ex-
private who only few weeks ago re-
ceived an honorable discharge from the
regular army after six years of service
in the west. 1.-THE whole scheme is
slick one" he repeated, land it catches
lots of fellows who are just as fresh
and green as / was when | enlisted in
Philadelphia nearly six years ago
Young fellows who are out Of work or
who are dissatisfied with their posi-
tions, or who are in a desperate frame
of mind after spree. or who are I'M
happy in their love affairs, accidental
" run across these recruiting officers.
and the idea suddenly pops into their
heads that it would be mighty nice
thing to join the army and thus run
away from their troubles.
They see the orderly and the pri-
Yates in their neat. bright uniforms,
with apparently nothing in the world
to do but to keep their shoes and
clothes well brushed. and what was al
first merely vagrant notion becomes
a determined resolution. They apply
for enlistment. and, almost before they
are aware OF it, have surrendered
large share OF their personal freedom
and become subjects of military disciP-
line. Too often they seek to retrace
their steps only when il is too late. and
in many cases they begin their army
service with sullen hatred against the
flag they have sworn TO follow. Once
in q while, but not often. fellow IS
exempted or is discharged after he has
been sworn in. but it IS generally he
cause he pleads the ba by act or through
some pull OF his friends on the war de-
partment. But the natty orderly on
duty in front Of the recruiting Office
and the well-fed p-ivates on the streets
near by-what of them, you ask? Why. /
they run the scheme I spoke OF in the /
first place. Uncle Sam is the shrewd- !
