We are grieved beyond measure that
the pioneer Prohibition party, whose
splendid record has up to this time kept
loyal to its ranks the women of the W.
G. T. u, should, upon the ground of
expediency, have seen fit to drop the
woman suffrage plank with the other
devisive issues. AS a question of inherent
right-a question involving n of the
fundamental principles of justice and
liberty-woman suffrage is not to be
classed with the pension, convict labor,
immigration, initiative and referendum,
nor even with the money question,
important as that is. Not even in bidding
for the Christian vote-in ''giving the
church a chance to vote her W resolu-
tions"-should the party Of moral reform
sacrifice right to expediency. A home
protection policy without woman suffrage
has no sure foundation. 1t is q house
built upon the sand. The rum or has

The Monitor-register., 1896-06-26

As to the attitude of the w. C. T. U,
toward the two National political parties
which declare for prohibition, each
white-ribboner must call to her aid her
own eonsecrated common sense. In the
famous st. Louis Convention of 1884. the
National W. G. T. U. announced that it
would continue to "lend its influence to
the national political organization which
declares in its platform for National Pro-
hibition and Home Protection" and the
last Convention at Baltimore reafirmed
the allegiance of the organization ''to the
Prohibition party as the only political
party with the courage to speak out
boldly in favor Of woman suffrage and
the total humiliation of the liquor
traffic" For the present, at least, each
one must decide for herself which party
furnishes the best embodiment of pro-
hibition principles and will most surely
protect our homes" In this, as in every
other crisis, the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union will be guided by the
same hand which has led it from the
beginning and brought it safely through
many dangers and difficulties. Union

All WoodstOwn people who have so
helpfully contributed to the Armenian
fund will be glad to learn that:
"Miss Clara Barton writes regularly to
her Washington friends of the work she
is doing in Armenia in the name Of the
Red Cross Society for the relief of the
destitute. In a letter received this week
she says things are looking more encour-
aging, and that everything is moving
along smoothly. The native women have
been furnishing materials and are making
clothing for distribution; seeds have been
distributed and many farmers are now at
work; and tools for both mechanics and
farmers are being distributed as fast as
possible. The Red Cross expects TO dis
dribute from twelve to fifteen thousand
oxen, a pair to each small village, within
= short time, they being very much
needed. The contagious diseases, which
for a time threatened the entire popula-
tion, are being overcome, but Miss Bar
ton says the present strong force of
physicians will be kept in the field for
emergencies"
