spent to bring more perfection in the
lower animals. Why should there not
be an attempt to bring higher develop
ment In men and women? The SUBJ
ject is now covered by a spirit of false
nodesty instead of a, prayerful desire
to find a. remedy. Study of this Ques-
ton by mothers will do much in the
way Of temperance. The union may
help this.
The work of the w. C. T. y. was
traced and Mrs. Eddy made plea for
union of all temperance believers. In
whatever might be decided upon the
w. C. T. u, with white ribbons, will
be found in the front rank. The strug-
gle for abolition of slavery was severe,
but it won. AS that was accomplished
so will the triumph of prohibition
come out of the chaos of parties. The
women have entered the battle until
it is won. They have thrown down
the gauntlet to the hydra-heaoed mon
ster. They will continue the battle
with the one cry. THE saloons must
go!'
Mrs. Eddy was warmly applauded
for her very able paper and was given
a rising vote Of thanks.
Go Into Practical Politics.
NV " w. LUCK u OSQ6Ils lOOh up
Some of the Popular Objections to
Prohibition" He spoke in a running
way Of the stock arguments, and then
went on to say that there was one
weakness about the prohibition cause,
ana that was that the ministers who
are leading take too high q. stand.
They look down on the saloon people
and say, I'VE are going to vote you
out of existence while they say,
-
wanted to cast no reflections on the
efficacy of prayer but he believed 1T
will prove effective only when there
are &. majority of votes on that side.
The prohibitiOnistS must come down.
If politics are as dirty as the Augean
stables they should determine to clean
them out. Prohibitionists are impras;-
ticable. They are trying to 90 every
thing at once. They should see nov
politicians are laying wires and lay q
few themselves. The saloon men are
ready to put up the money. Prohibi-
tionists cannot succeed until they put
UP the money. They must take hui
man nature as it is.
The PocketboOk Nerve.
The world has had its ages. We
have had the physical age, when the
LCrd was on the side of the heaviest
guns. Now that is over because men
can kill each other too fast. Now has
come the commercial age. The nerve
that has to be touched nowadays is
the one that leads TO the pocketboOk.
The sentimental nerve brings tears,
but it doesn't bring votes. Votes are
wanted. People are interested in tariff
and silver because they touch the
money nerve. If the people can be
shown that their heavy taxation is
due to drink evils they will vote for
prohibition. Come down from the high
pedestal. Get it into politics.
Which Animal Shall Eat.
Now there are practical politicians.
One crowd comes in and another goes
out. They live on the public money.
