Mrs. Nations method is not found in the
plan of work of the w. C.. T. U. and while
it cannot advise the use of force, except by
officers, it is aware Of the fact that Mrs.
Nations Ratchet has done more to brighten
the liquor sellers and awaken the conscien-
ses Of Kansas voters than the official force
of the State has ever done. Surely human
life is of more value than bars, mirrors or
pictures of an illegal saloon.
