are few other places that 1 will not
mention, that would bear watching and
l think where mothers may show their
skill in annihilating the Liquor traffic
is to educate their daughters to shun
the young man who INDUCES in the use
of intoxicants, as they would shun any
one infested with plague.
How true it is that children must be
thoroughly imbued with just ideas of
rights and duties, and this is surely
duty they owe to themselves and to
God.
These things are the very elements
of which our citizenship is made, and
we fear that not enough pains is taken
with our daughters in teaching them
to shun those young men who indulge
even in social glass, for we believe
that the moderate drinker is the very
worst kind of drinker. And again, l
say if those old buffers would not act
the example, would not help the mat
ter along, or would hurry up and drink
themselves out of the way, what a
blessing it would be to the rising gener-
alton. And then what is the use of q
law not enforced and we women can
not be too ready to meet this dawn of a
better day.
| The question of women's rights
should not alone embrace suffrage, but
equal liberty of thought, speech and
action. 1 am interested IN woman and
her rights, her modes of progression,

in her abilities.

who now are educated up to its value
Unfortunately am not one of the
many, mainly through lack of opportu'
nifty for that study which brings along
with 1t intelligent conviction. l think
though that in educational matters, all
women are agreed as to the value OF
women. The question would natur
ally be put, as to the actions of women
on election days. Why most of them
would not vote at all until some great
vital moral point would be at stake
such as the liquor question ard then
they would turn out to q woman, and
stick together, and enforce the law SC
that prohibition would prohibit.

Son during the illness Of the son, Will

Merriam was made cashier and has re-
NAMED there ever since. He made 8
trip to the northwest not long ago upon
his official business.
The Hopkinton bank was established
in 1877 by Frank Earhart. In 1884 il
passed to Doolittle s. Son and remained
in their name until 1892, when the son,
F. w. Doolittle died. A reorganization
then took place and the name was
changed to the Hopkinton Bank, with
f. b. Doolittle, president; F. E. Viii
Hanson, vice president; c. E. Merriam,
cashier, and Mrs. NJ. r. Doolittle as q
fourth stakeholder. 1t has since con-
tinued to do business under that name
and will continue to do so until the
proper procedure has been gone through
that will entitle the new organization
to do business as the Hopkinton STATE
Bank.-Leader.
