A YEAR OF GOOD WORK
IN HENNEssEY.
BY Rev. J. M. Strong, Pastor First NJ,
E. Church, and President Min
isters' Alliance, Eennessey,
okla.

The year 1904 has been one of
civic reform and religious advance
ment all along the line in Hennessey.
To start with, the Ministers Alliance
was organized year ago by the
Pastors and Preachers of Hennessey
for mutual help and cooperation in
al good work and religious efforts.
The men forming this body were:
Rev. j. C. Schlienann, Pastor First
Baptist Church; Rev. B. d. Gillispie.
Pastor First Christian Church; Rev.
L. A. Tuner Pastor First Congrega-
tional Church, Rev II. K Bowermar,
Minister in the Free Methodist
Church, and the author.
We met every Monday morning. AS
this Alliance was organized for mu-
tmh help and cooperation, and that
the ihurches might be more closely
eiaea 81 their work, it was decided TO
hold open air union services Sunday
evenings during July and August, last
year. A platform was constructed
and seats arranged on vacant lots in
central location, union choir was
formed, and the pastors preached in
turn. These services were successful

Cotton
Fields are Yearning
for Idlers Of Cities
and Towns

Secretary J. B. Thoburn Of the board
OF agriculture, speaking Of the cotton
acreage in the territory and the rapid
spread of boil weevil in Texas, today
said:
"The cotton acreage Of Oklahoma is
estimated at 30 per cent greater this
year than it was last The United
statee department Of agriculture rated
the condition of Oklahoma cotton
above that OF every other cotton grow
ing state several weeks ago. Many
glnneries are being erected. Already
there is strong demand for field help
in several localities. The amount OF
Geld help that is needed in choping
out however. is small in comparison
to What will be needed when picking
time arrives. Last year there were
some places in the territory where the
cotton was not gathered as promptly
as it should have been on account cs
scarcity Of field help and the result
ant loss was considerable. This year,
with much larger acreage and the
prospect OF at least normal yielu,
the demand for help at picking time
will be much heavier.
Oklahoma probably has enotsh
idle people to supply this extra de-
mand III handling the cotton crop, if
they could be induced to work Mod
ern commercial and industrial activity
can surmont almost any obstacle but
they can not make over the nature OF
the drCne, hence there must be the
importation of some labor frcm neigh
boring states and communities where
there is less demand for it. rhe dis
cussion of this subject is already agi-
hating the minds of the people In sew
eral Of the cotton growing counties Of
Oklahoma WhetheT this imported
labor shall consist Of -hites or ne
groes or Mexicans sec ns to be the
main question at iss;e and all sorts
of argumeIts-com commercial, industrial
and social--ar being threshed over in
The discussion.
In this connection it is perhaps
well to call attention to the fact that
the rapid spread Of the Doll weovil in
Texas is credited quite largely to the
annual pilgrimage os cotton pickess
from districts that were infested with
that troublesome pest to those which
We're not. How they travel or why
they travel in this way may not be
easy to explain but the fact remains
that their sporadic appearance in
places heretofore minfested may
definitely DC traced to such source
very frequently.
While it is probable that the boil
weevil win reach Oklahoma in the
course Of time, the cotton growers Of
this territory should delay its progress
in this direction as much as possible
ano, to this end, they should hesitate
long time before inviting their in
PRODUCTION by the coming Of itinerant
cotton pickers from the region which
is now so badly infested. The various
commercial clubs and similar organiza-
tions which are now wrestling with
the problem Of securing more help for
the cotton fields would do we'll 10 bear
this fact carefully in mind"

But to return to the work of tha
Ministers Alliance, the manner in
which their temperance work was sus-
tanned and endorsed by the people
last summer, was shown by the mon
ster temperance rally, which practic-
ally closed the union outdoor meet
ings. There were 700 OF 500 people
present. Ten Nights in Barroomp
was given, the story being told by one
of the pastors, while another threw
the scenes on the canvas with his
stereoptican. 1t was the biggest meet
ing ever held in the town doubtless.
IN November another great step in
advance vas taken. Long before this
the Ministers felt the need Of organ
ized cooperation by the moral and
religious people of the town. So a
meeting was called OF business men
and others, and about 25 true ana
staunch men met, and the matter Of,
organizing for aggressive work WAS
discussed. Pres. Strong, of the Min
listers Alliance, presided; all the past
ors SPOKE, others followed The re
suit was, Civic Federation, which
should stand by the pastors, and work
together for Civic righteousness. VI.
A r. Lane was elected Pres; Nj.
Beckwith, Vice-Pres NJ. G. II. miller,
Sec. & Treas. A constitution was
adopted, and the organization at once
entered upon the work for which It
was created The Federation has
done a noble, successful work. It has
nov about 80 members, and continues
it's reform activities. 1t put up re-
form ticket at the spring election,
PIT up a strong fight and gained
partial victory. We now have a ma
jority Of the city council. Great ad-
vancement has been made all along
the line. But only a beginning has
been made. We propose to keep up
the battle, till complete and perma-
nent victory is achieved.
In conclusion let me say that every
saloon in town has been dealt with
according 10 the law and will be until
they all strictly obey the law or quit
business. After the polls closed last
election day, James Conner and Mr..
Myers opened their saloon and sold
liquor. They were promptly arrested
and pound over to the fall term of
the district court. We nave every
reason to believe that the officers and
courts will execute the law Impair
TALLY TO all in this anti-saloon hght.
Judge Rurford's late ruling in El Reno
against all betting, throwing up for
drinks, etc. in saloons, Is great en-
couragement for the law and order
loving people. Our motto is "The
saloon Must Co" We viii never leave
the field nor stop the battle till every
saloon in the land is out Of business
OF we die. when others will take up
the hght 70 carry It through to sue
cess.
Fathers and mothers Of Hennessey,
let us all do all we can to save our
boys from the awful curse Of the sa'
loon. Any boys soul is worth more
than the $4,000 annual revenue from
this awful traffic. To the mothers
and wives OF IIennessey let me say,
Organize Mothers or Woman's CIV
ie Federation and stand by the men Of
this order ana never stop the battle,
tin the saloon with its numerous inn
moralities is driven out OF our midst.
