THE w. {. 7. u. MEETS IN
ANNUAL CONVENTION
Protest of the President Against Vice and Ex-
cess-Serseant at Arms to Keep Members
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Not Nice for
SaIuteS SO Flags Will Be Used

Cincinnati Nov. 1S.-The thirtieth
annual convention of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union began a
session of six days here to-day with a
very large attendance, the 500 dele
gates constituting only a small part
of the visitors. Mrs. Lillian M. Ste
vens of Portland, Me-, in delivering the
presidents address, said:
Naturally enough, there comes first
to our minds the overthrow of the pro-
hibitory law in Vermont and New
Hampshire. This disaster came about
by a combination of political trickery,
the unstinted work of the liquor fra
ternity of the country and the deceived
and bewildered condition of some of
the voters of these states.
Faithful work has been done, maxi
ing sentiment in favor of an anti
polygamy amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States.
1.-THE Womans Christian Temperance
Union is to-day, and if true to its
heritage will ever be arrayed against
all forms of impurity and legalized vice.

We painfully recognize that there are
some evils that cannot be annihilated
in this day and generation, but we
ever more declare that these evils, If
they exist, shall do so in opposition to,
rather than by sanction, of law. The
best element of the American people
will always, if need be, unite in pro-
test as loud and as long as that which
resulted in the issue of the order from
the War Department, which practical
~ abolished the system of legalized
and licensed vice, which had existed
for a time in the far-away Philippines.
THE question, is liquor drinking
among women increasingly is hard to
answer. We surely hear more
about drinking women than formerly,
perhaps from the fact that the drink
ing habit attracts more attention than
it did in the days when nearly every
one used liquor in one form or an
other"
At the afternoon session reports Of
officers were heard. On account of
much talking in the audience, it be-
came necessary to appoint a sergeant
alarms. On motion of Mrs. Marie C.
Brehn of Chicago, the American flag
was adopted for the official salute, in
stead of the ''unhygienic use of hand
kerchefs, and a committee was ap-
pointed to secure the flag.
