WANTED-2,O 600, 600 BOYS.

Have you a boy to spare? The
saloon must have boys or it must shut
up. it's shop. Can't you find one? 1t
is great factory, and unless it can
have 1900, 900 from each generation,
for raw material, some Of these
factories must close up, and the opera
tives be thrown out upon cold world
and the public revenue dwindle! One
family out of every five must contrl-
butte boy in order to keep up the
supply. Will you help? Which of
your boys shall it be? Are you q
father? Have you given your share
to keep up the supply for this great
public institution that is helping pay
your taxes and kindly electing public
officers for you' Have you contribu-
ted boy? If not some other family
has had to give more than its share
Are you selfish? Voting to keep the
saloon open to grind up boys and then
doing nothing to keep up the supply !?
Ponder these questions, ye voters, and
answer them to God, to whom you
will one day give an account for votes
as we'll as prayers. And ye mothers,
wives and daughters. are you py pre-
cept, example and influence in every
possible direction doing all you can
to save the boys from the enticements
Of the horrible liquor saloon, and to
hasten the day when it shall be out

loon. And I may add, to bring to our
people the greatest possible measures
of purity. In the light Of all the
terrible revelations which must in
evitably come today to the seeker after
truth concerning social conditions
among our people, we are led to say
that one Of the greatest needs of
America today is fathers who are
fathers in the very truest and highest
and best sense of the term. Fathers
who will not weakly consent that the
dead line" is necessity, that evil
will exist and must be provided for !,
but pure. minded, living, high
principled men, who will teach their
sons that obedience to Gods laws is
the highest duty in life and will bring
its own reward in healthy body, q
clear mind, prolonged life and pure
happiness for all, concerned; while
disobedi fence and selfish qualification
of appetite at any cost will inevitably
bring its own punishment in dis
eased body, blackened soul and a
train of untold miseries.
There are those who are crying out
against the fact that women are
largely obtaining public employment
and ceasing to marry. If such be the
fact can we wonder at it when nearly
every man you meet makes a smoke
stack Of his head, chimney of his
nostrels and cesspool Of his mouth,
until his very presence is an insult to
the atmosphere and an offense to a
clean woman? Should women cease

to marry, could we wonder, when we
realize that those by whom they
might be chosen are too often unfit
for the companionship of the pure in
heart and life? en- the cigarette
and the saloon, the !, nnbling den and
the grothel, hold sway over so many
who are the husbands the fathers, and
sons and brothers of women, can we
wonder that some daughters hold in
higher esteem a lonely independence
than the companionship and support
of such? No! Not more marriages
unless each contracting party brings
to the sacred altar that purity which
is the others right; not more unless
there can be better homes; rot more
unless there can be better quality of
life. We have enough of the insane
and the imbecile, enough of the half
witted, the vicious, the ill born, pas
sion. cursed, -neurotic, rlckety and de.
fective.
The true wealth Of a nation is in
it's virtuous, sober citizenship; no de-
cadence causes such evil results as
does the decadence of virtue, and for
the perpetuity of family and national
life it is necessary that men and wo-
men shall be equally pure and vir-
tuous.

cation of our people until there shall

men as in woman. Let us teach that
fallen woman is no more fallen than
a fallen man. There is no sex in

in general. The editor picked
out no less than three stories
that were not at all original and
they bore their authorship on
their faces as plainly as if "This
is not original" were written
across them. There were several
others somewhat suspicious but
they seemed more as if the writ
ers had not been able to separate
what they had read from what
they had thought all by them
selves. The papers; mentioned
were written by the ittlest
Juniors who, perhaps, do not
quite understand what the word
"original' means. All Junior
stories must be not only each
Juniors very own in expression,
but just as much the Junior s

cidedly not original to re-write
an old story in ones own words.

hundreds Of stories into space sufficient for

Juniors can help in the squeezing process,
