The evening meeting in the Friends
Meeting House here on the first was largely
attended by an appreciative audience Any
attempt to report the address must seem
failure to all who were present to realize
the intellectual and spiritual power OF the
speaker, Henry w. WILDER. The 1.-Two
Factors of the Drink Problem presented
were the personal phase and the public
phase. In connection with the farmers, the
speaker said from an economic stand point
d young man can not afford TO drink, If he
does he may expect TO be a drug on the
labor market The man who does what the
crowd does, because the crowd does, will
meyer be among our immortals.. The public
phase of the question was presented first
from the standpoint Of the Supreme Court
OF the United States, all licenses to sell
liquor for beverages are unconstitutional
Is is beneath the dignity of the courts to
deal with this thing, it is within the PROV
dence of the people if you grant limited
franchise, you have right to take it back
as the lovers say restore anteeedent con-
ditions Prohibition simply restores nor
NAL conditions. government by the peo-
pie can meyer rise higher than the character
Of its citizens, whatever helps to make bad
citizens lowers the normal standard of the
governments; consequently it is the duty Of
government to assume the attitude OF hos
tility against evil; half the battle is to have
attitude of government right; then back it
up with right kind of integrity on the part
of the citizen and endorsements Of law. The
governments becomes partner in the de-
moralization of its own citizens at its peril
We cannot have corrupt politics without
having corrupt voters. The speaker men
toned several leaders Of polisical corrup-
tion-the logical product of the saloon.
We need concerned conscience to close
the recruiting offices of Generalization and
to educate type of civic virtue let every
citizen use his ballot to keep alcohol out OF
the community Anything that onght to
be can be in this governments. We are told
to wait for public sentiment; there are two
ways to get public sent ;ment-get behind
and push, get ahead and pull; no man
should consider public sentiments except to
use it; you are to be factor in making
public sentiment wrong, public sentiment
right, cry aloud and spare not; keep sweet
s'Let patience have its perfect work. Z
