Canon Wilberforcs calls infidelity, i'm.
purity and intemperance the "trinity Of
evil"
We never could understand why some
liquor laws demand certificate Of "good
moral character" from man who sells
rum. II seems to us that the case should
be reversed, that the applicant should
be compelled to furnish undoubted proof
that he is totally devoid Of any moral
character and shame.

The liquor sellers tell % that prohi-
bition cannot be made to prohibit. just
think over that statement awhile. A
class Of men who live on the vices OF
their fellow. men, whose business causes
s5 per cent. Of crime and taxation, tell
you that even if the majority Of the
sovereign people should declare that the
saloon should cease, they will continue
to be law breakers. In short this vicious
minority tells you that the State cannot
enforce its own laws. Is this republican
form Of government q failure2 The
whisky seller tells you It is. What do
you say?
Miss willard says, "In America today
there are 100000 young men. 1t is
estimated that about 8, ,0O0, 900 of these
never darken church door, rs out Of
100 do not attend church, 95 out of 100
do not belong and 81 out Of every 100
do nothing to spread the Gospel of
Christ. On the other hand 81 out Of 100
are patrons of the saloon, the gambling
house and the house Of shame. On q
recent Sunday in Cincinnati, in one
hour 252 men entered saloon and all
but 16 were young men.

This government is greater than any
Of its vices. When any of its vices
become greater in force, the govern.
nent will die. When any class Of men
are able to defy the government success
fully, then 1t becomes the autocrat. If
you grant that the liquor dealers Of the
State are greater in power than the
State, then you grant that the State has
ceased to exist as commonwealth and
has become an oligarchy of the liquor
traffic. The supreme power Of the State
t il its government. If the dram shops
lave grester power than its experts, the
State is merely puppet in the hands o.
vital, aggressive and active force.

President OF the Massachusetts, w. O. T

which says "You will find five hundred

word political The rum seller ant
his patrons are always on the alert t.
protect their interests, not by going Il
church, but by attending the caucuse
and the polls. Do not devote your time
money or energies in petting inebriates
but aim directly at the saloon, wher'
vice and politics form dangerous com
bination. I would advise you not Il
waste efforts in trying to convert tn
heathen in Africa, but to be untiring il
the work of converting capitalists AM
distillers who are shipping rum to tina

Miss Clay dwelt at length on the influ

the age, and held that this is one of tn
great factors in the change that ha
taken place in woman g sphere, that tn

are today the lot Of women who advt
cate suffrage, were the lot of wome
years ago who attempted to earn he

Of employment. Taxation without reI
