I'VE have been doing lot of taking
about saloons, but don't you know, la
dies, it takes individual patronage to sup
port saloon, and it is the individuals
we want to work with. Did you ever
think about it? It's much easier to take
bees away from hive than it is to take
the hive away from the bees. Why, if
lyou went and grabbed hold of a hive
land started off with it, the bees wouldn t
stand it at ali-they'd make it very I'M
comfortable for you indeed-get in your
clothes and sting; you couldn't do it at
all But you go out there and plant
a buckwheat field somewhere and pretty
soon all the bees will go to it; then you
can slip in and take away the hive while
they are gone. Don't you see? What

field at home, and see if you can't coax

stupid little woman that couldn't devise
something Sweeter in the way of home
than a saloon. / know there are lots of

and sees his dear little wife there, with
the dear little children, why he'll just
say to himself This is the place for
me! 1t is love that makes this big world
OF ours go round, don't you know it, Ia
dies? Why, it was love that emancipat-
led Dreyfus-the love of one little true,
faithful woman. How that little wife did
stand up for him, and when all France
was turned against him, and even his
own people and hers said he was a trail
tor, she just went on loving him and be-
lieving in him until she turned the YER
dict of France, bless her heart. That's
what love will do-love can't be resisted
it's wonderful thing. Let's have more
of it, let's have more of it!
Now l amt going to say anything
more. Keep out of politics.
With this parting admonition Mr.. Muir
ply sat down, but when the ripple of
good-natured laughter had subsidized he
arose and invited questions. He softened
down his last statement by saying that
1t wasn't necessary for women to vote,
because she could get all the votes she
wanted by managing the men, and if
she didn't, all right, for vote wasn't
the greatest thing in the world.
Mrs. DR.. Whitney, president of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union,
asked Mr. Murphy what he thought of
the outlook for temperance in the United
States and Mr.. Murphy quickly answer
ed that it was glorious When asked
why, he said it was because of many
things; first of all, that all the great
corporation and labor organiza tons re-
quired men to be sober, and that to OBJ
tain work men must abstain. He said
that the world is growing better and
soberer every day and that there never
was time when the world was so much
appreciated it is today.
Another member asked him what he
thought of the prohibition laws as tenn
perance measure.
Now you have asked me a question 1
wish you had not" said he II didn't
want to say anything about that and
now 1 have got my foot in it," He went
on to explain his attitude towards pro-
hibitory measures, saying that he had
no faith in them; the prohibitory laws
had been weighed in the balance and
found wanting in all the States where
they had been tried they had dsappoint-
ed their best friends Wherever prohibi-
tory legislation had been tried there had
been continual strife and bitterness I'M
til every man felt like cutting his neigh
bor's throat, and the great peace was
destroyed
Another member, formerly of Maine,
asked Mr.. Murphy how about the sue
cess of prohibition in that State She
had ridden through Maine and had never
seen saloon all the way through
Mr.. Murphy laughed heartily "why,
Lord bless you, no." said he, you
wouldn't see them: how could you? They
didn't look like saloons on the outside,
but they We're there, my dear; of course
they were; have been in Maine myself,
and / tell you that there were plenty of
saloons there. Whenever you undertake
to force prohibitory laws on a city or
State you are putting an awful burden
on its officers. The poor fellows, they
are between two fires and can't do any,
thing. Here are all of US on one side
telling him that he is paid to do his duty
and to go on and enforce the laws and
II he don't we call him rascal and all
kinds of ugly names, and on the other
side they are hooting at him and fight
ing and struggling, and the poor man
can't accomplish anything. Why, every
where we hear people railing at public
officers anyway, and bemeaning and be-
Hitting them. What sort of patriotism
is that? Why, did you ever hear Of an
Englishman saying anything like that
about the Queen? Not much; he would
get hustled out of the country quick
Here we hear talk about President Nc
Kinley and all the rest of our great men:

of public men that ever breathed. glory
be to God / tell you you can't live on
prohibition. If the gospel of Jesus
Christ had been urged and preached as
much as the prohibition laws have there
would have been a lot of show for it.
ladies'! That temple would have gone
up in Chicago; there would have been
more Christianity spread through our
country, and much greater fight made
against liquor"
When asked about the prohibitory
measures passed in this City prohibiting
the sale to Hawaiians of whisky. gin and
rum. and only allowing them beer and
light wines, Mr.. Murphy said, when /
