NEW TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.

observers of the workings of temperance
movements have noted the fact that they
are productive of beneficial results exactly
individuals and communities against the
use of intoxicating liquors; Also that such
sentiment is not created by political cam
paigns against the drink evil The course
of the Womans Christian Temperance
Union is an illustration of this. Although
the Crusade" involving certain illegal
acts, that was preliminary to the organiza-
ton of this body was not wise proceed
ing, the union itself in its earlier years was
a distinct force in the propagation of tenn
perance doctrine. Its leaders and members
urged practical temperance, they encour-
aged the taking of pledges to refrain from
intoxicants, they interested children in the
work and formed societies among them. In
short. they constantly agitated the ques-
ton and the public was bombarded with
facts concerning the desirabiity of reform
in this direction. 1t was an educational
campaign, and except for occasional errors
arising from excess Of zeal, was accom-
plishing algood work. 1t exerted real in
fiuence. But in the course Of time the Ia
borers in the field grew weary OF what
seemed to them slow progress and began
to seek a short cut to the regeneration of
their erring fellow-creatures This seemed
to them to be through the political route,
and to the promotion of political plans the
,;1
itself. And precisely at that time it's infiu-
ence began to wane. 1t has not accom-
plished anything of consequence through
politics and 1t has ceased to be a moral
force. 1t still exists; it's name figures in
the papers now and then in reports of con-
ventions; it keeps its form but not its
spirit. At all events, If it is doing anything
practical in the way Of reform that fact is
concealed from public knowledge.
The need Of a society whose sole purpose
courage temperate practices has been felt
by many people and has resulted in the for
nation of at least one society of that sort.
At Three Rivers, Mich, an order calling it
self Temperance Volunteers was lately
organized and may be the beginning OF a
general temperance movement. Its motto
is Total abstinence" and its method is
moral suasion. 1t deals with the individual
and urges him to become an abstainer, not
only for his own good, but for that of
others. The idea of universal brotherhood
and the need Of exerting the best possible
influence on ones associates by indulging
in no bad habits is urged. The tributary
branches are called phalanxes. and the dis
cussion of religious or political topics is not
permitted at their meetings. The plan. as
given in detail in the publications of the or
der. seems sane and practical, and, being
so. deserves to be encouraged. Mr.. Frank
Knapp is leader Of the society at Three
Rivers; its originator is Mr.. Albert Griffin.

If the bill which has been introduced In
Congress for the establishment of a ma
tional theater at Washington looks mere
ly to the incorporation of such an institu-
ton under an act OF Congress 1t may be
unobjectionable, but IL it asks for govern
ment endowment or support it should re-
ceive no consideration. There is no clause
in the Constitution under which such an
appropriation could be defended. and the
people would not approve 1t.

At a very large meeting of the members

AT q very large meeting or the members
of Indiana >Commandery of the Loyal
Legion, Friday evening, Admiral Brown
stated that every other State which had
a warship named in its honor in the battle
of Santiago had presented the officer in
command with testimonial either by
subscription or public appropriation. He
alluded to the honorable part which the
battleship Indiana took in that brilliant
achievement and expressed the wish that
the Legislature might be asked to vote
money for a suitable testimonial. He was
inclined to oppose action by the Legion.
but the members were so impressed with
the proposition that motion was made
and unanimously carried authorizing the
the matter and bring it to the attention Of
the Legislature. In this connection 1t
should be said that Captain (now admiraD
Taylor. who commanded the Indiana at
the time Of the battle. has shown his re-
gard for the people Of this State by send
ing them one of the captured guns and the
battlefiag of the Indiana, which is dis
played in the Statehouse on all public oc-
casions There Is good reason to believe
that the patriotic people Of Indiana will
have the same Feeling in regard to a testi-
monial that was so positively manifested
in the meeting of Friday evening. To have
had ship bearing the name Of the State
take an honorable part in one of the most
brilliant naval engagements of modern
times is an honor which should be recog-
nized by some testimonial to the dis
tinguished officer who so skilfully COM
manded her on that occasion.
