Joined the "Quitters."
An Abolitionist Who Lost Both
His Courage and His Reward.

The following communication ap-
peared in the New York Voice of Oc-
tober 20, 1898. It is pertinent to the
present situation. When the Prohibi
ton fight has been won, there will be
thousands of sincere enemies of the
saloon whose huzzas will stick in their
throat because, when the Right need
ed their unfaltering support, they lost
heart and joined the "Quitters.'
Editor of the Voice: There was an
Abolitionist back before the Civil War
whom I knew, and whose experience is
worth repeating just now. He had been

COUNT Won HAESELER ADVOCATES
TOTAL ABSTINENCE IN THE
GERMAN ARMY,

An encouraging indication of the
growth Of temperance sentiment, even in
Europe, is the action Of Count Won Haes-
eler, lately commander of the sixteenth
army corps, and one Of Emperor Will
liam's military intimates, who has issued
a strong protest against the use of
strong drink by soldiers. The count has
been an abstainer for nearly twenty five
years, only drinking quarter of glass
of champagne on the emperor's birthday.
Even that, he thinks, is too much. 1.-THE
soldier who abstains altogether is the
best man. he says. HE can accomplish
more, can march better and is a better
soldier than the man who drinks even
moderately. Mentally and physically he
is better. Brandy is the worst poison Of
all. Next to it comes beer. Each limits
the capacity and lowers mind body and
SOUL Strong drink tires and only in
creases thirst For soldiers, water, cof-
fee, and, above all, tea.'' .

Looks Like Real War.
Young Methodists Enter Upon a Life
and Death Struggle with the Saloon.
Minneapolis District Enlists.

The war cries of the Epworth Her.
aid, organ of the Epworth League,
Methodist, are becoming louder, clear
er and more frequent. The issue Of
Aug. 29 contained an editorial headed
"This Means War;" in which editor
Jos. F. Berry calls attention to the
fact that the next movement of the
Epworth League is to be a temperance
crusade and outlines it's characteris-
tics. There is to be pledge-signing
campaign. Young people are to be
asked to abstain from liquor, tobacco,
profane language and all other forms
of impurity. Literature will be print
ed and circulated in wholesale ways.
1t will be in leaflet and booklet form
and handsomely printed and illustrat-
ed. The crusade also contemplates a
series of agitation meetings.. It is as
serted that "they will carry conviction
and stiffen the backbones of wabbling
saints" There can be no question
that there is large cultivable field in
this direction. The editorial contin-
ues:
"Then, last, this movement means
Speeches are good. Prayers are good.
Resolutions are good. Denunciations are
less to rout our altogether vicious enemy.
We must FIGHT! We must fight hard.
We must fight with a strength born of
desperation. It is a war into which we
propose to go, young men and maidens,
not picnic. In the name of God and
righteousness and of besotted men and
suffering women and starving children, we
call upon you to get ready!
This means WAR; The distiller is
against us. The brewer is against us. The
saloonist is against us. The respectable
citizen who rents his property for whisky
purposes is against us. The gambler is
against us. The dive-keeper is against us.
The politician is against us. The weak
kneed merchant and professional man
who think more of their business than
their principles are against us. The
time-serving Christian who thinks more
of his party than of his fealty to Christ
is against us. ALL THE SATANIC
FORCES WHICH ARE OPERATING TO
PULL MEN AND WOMEN DOWN TO
HE'LL ARE AGAINST US!
''This means WAR! The day of resolu-
tions is past. What does the devil care
for resolutions? What does he care even
for the ringing words adopted with
cheer at Detroit? While we have ire
solved" and "arraigned' and "denoun-
ced,". he has laughed: Our words have
made us a reproach to our neighbors,
scorn and a derision to them that are
round about us, a by-word among the
heather, and a shaking Of the head
among the people"
Enough Of this sort Of campaign!

THE FIRST GUN.

So far as we know, the Minneapolis
District Union of Epworth Leagues is
the first to make distinct and enthu-
siastic response to the new call to
arms. It is four-square with the truth
and with the declared position of the
Methodist church. At it's last monthly
meeting it unanimously adopted reso-
lutions which hail with pleasure the
news of the Leagues new forward
movement, send a word of cheer to the
Epworth Herald and it's brave editor
and declare:
That it here and now enlists in an
army to fight this evil by moral suasion.
by education, and by refusing to support
political parties or candidates committed
to the license policy, or which refuse to
put themselves squarely on record in an
attitude of open and aggressive hostility
to the saloon, and pledging active support
of, and corporation with such parties
and candidates as are in harmony with
the utterances Of the church.
AMEN!

AGES OF MONARCHS
WHO GOVERN EUROPE

BERLIN. May 2.-When Kaiser Will
helm called himself one of the young
est sovereigns in Europe a few days
ago, he was not so accurate as usual.
There are seven other reigning monarchs
younger than he. They are the Prince of
Bulgaria, aged forty-two; the King of
Portugal, aged forty; the Gar. thirty
FIVE: the King OF Italy, thirty-four; the
King of Servia, twenty-seven: the Queen
of Holland, twenty-three, and the King
OF Spain, seventeen.
In this connection it is interesting to
recall the ages of the rulers of other
countries. The King of Greece is fifty
two, the Sultan, sixty-one; the Prince
of Montenegro. sixty-two; King Edward
VII, sixty-two; the King of Roumania,
sixty-four; the King Of the Belgians,
sixty eight; the Emperor of Austria, sew
enty-three: the King of Denmark,
eighty-fve; the Grand Duke of Luxem-
burg, eighty-s1x, and the King of Swe-
den, seventy-four. Thus it will be seen
that the Kaiser is about midway be-
tween the octogenarian OF the north and
the boy King of the south.

MENU THAT LOUBET
FAILED TO ENJOY

PARIS, May president Loubet had
one meal which he did not in the least
relish IN the course of his trip to AL
geria He had reviewed the foreign
legion at Krieder and in the evening at
tended the banquet given by the native
chiefs. The menu was as follows:
Locust soup, sliced coucus, hashed
mutton and pepper balls; stewed mutton
with plums, artichokes, chestnuts and
eggs. Roast camel and asses milk was
also on the menu When ne said that he
did not relish asses milk he was given
sleeps and goats milk.
The repast proved a little too much
for the President, for he had to dip his
hands into the dishes with the rest al
the company, there being no knives or
forks provided, and when it was owe:
he asked for a drink of brandy. This
was obtained for him after difficulty,
but it did not save him from a severe
attack of Indigestion.

MRS. KATE WOOLSEY
ATTACKS HER COUNTRY
Republics the Implacable Foes OF
All Womankind.

LONDON, May 2.-Like Waldorf Astor,
the wealthy Mrs. Kate Trimble Woolsey.
of New York city, and a former resident
OF Covington. Ken, has not any use for
republics Mrs Woolsey has just pub
lished a book here entitled, Republics
Versus Woman" She dedicates 1t with
feelings of congratulation to the women
who are the subjects of monarchies; and
with feelings of sympathy to the women
who are citizens of republics"
Mrs. Woolsey is a Daughter of the
Revolution, so proud of her ancestors
that she prefaces her book with a bio
graphical note describing their achieve
ments; yet she declares that republics
are the enemies of her sex, as witness
the following quotation:
The greatest misfortune that ever be-
fell American women was when thei-
colonies broke away from English rule
for they must always desert their native
land and kith and kin, and live under a
foreign flag, in order to gain from the
superior sex that recognition which the
American republic denies them
Republics Mrs. Woolsey bitterly de-
clares, ARE ungrateful to women No
woman" she says, ever can be presi-
dent. for in republics the Salic law
reigns inexorable as death. Republican
ism is masculine monopoly, and neces-
sarily confers all its honors. powers
glories, and favors exclusively upon
men. Republicanism is woman's i'm
placable foe: between it and her exists
an irreconcilable conflict"
