True, it's central theme is
temperance. but that theme is SO
broad and so deep in its sign
ificance to the world that it en-
braces innumerable other
themes of great moment to the
present and future of the race.
While it is true that Everything
is not in the temperance cause,
yet the temperance cause is in
everything AS the evils of in
temperance are found to exist
in all classes AID conditions of
humanity, so the healing cur
rents of temperance work reach
es into all phases and relations of
life. This constitutes and classi-
fies it truly a great cause. The
Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union aims at success
through each of these numerous
and devious channels. 1t is
probably true-to the credit Of
the people be it said-that much
of the unpopularity of the cause
is due to lack of understanding
it in it's full significance. And
yet parents, you already know if
you will but stop and think. that
the liquor traffic will accomplish
the ruin Of your boy or girl if it
can. 1t has, its deadly pitfalls
set for them both, in it's twin
evils of drunkenness and i'm
purity, Are we doing all we
might to- protect them from
these dangers? What is to be
the condition Of these homes of
the futureif the boys and girls
are not saved from these cruel
snares? Surely it would seem
that no one could be Indifferent
to the importance Of this cause.
We want to call attention to the
Loyal Temperance Legion of
Cooperstown. 1t is fully organ
lied and alive, The seniors hold
their meetings in the evening,
! and the juniors in the afternoon.
At the last meeting of the
seniors their program was varied
by parliamentary drill, some
new members were received and
lunch was served. The earnest
efforts of the superintendent
and her efficient assistant de-
serve the hearty cooperation of
the parents and children of
Cooperstown. To be sure there
are other calls upon the time of
the children, as there is for their
elders, but place must be made
for the consideration of this
question, if not now in plans for
resisting it's evil infiuenc e, then
later in dealing with it's deadly
results. Parents is it well to al
low apothy, Indifference cares or
