Hartford. Conn. Oct. 26.--The thirty
third annual convention Of the Nation
al Women's Christian Temperance
Union opened here today. Mrs. LILLIAN
NJ. N. Stevens OF Portland, Me. pre-
sided and more than $50 delegates from
all parts OF the United states were
present and some from Australia, ia
pan, England. Greece and other coun-
tries,
The feature OF the morning session
was the address OF the president. Mrs.
stevens who has been at the head Of
the organization since the death, In 1898,
OF the founder, Miss Frances Willard.
Mrs. stevens address was as follows:
I'VE warmly welcome to this thirty
third convention OF the National Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union our
white ribbon comrades from other
lands and other chimes. We know you
will be an inspiring presence in gu:
convention and we humbly trust thar
In some degree. IN some way, the con-
yention may be helpful to you. Our
star spangled banner is dearer to us to-
day because mingled with its folds are
the iiags of other ountries--countrie
closely bound to ours In the comrade-
ship OF sacred work.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union Is organized in 10000 localities
In our nation; and In 100000 homes the
N rth "a.
and true.
THE liquor trade Is a mighty monop-
oily compared with which every other
monopoly falls into insignihcanco: but
the bulwarks of the trade are CONSTANT
ly being weakened. A widespread call
for new sort Of morality in public
officials has been heard in many
states; and in the nation at large
the idea has been emphasized that
large corporate and men OF greatest
wealth are not exempt from the re-
quircments OF the peoples laws I'm the
peoples courts. The liquor trade is
not only sustained by avarioe but by
an appetite more insatiate than that
Of miser--an appetite which uncon-.
sciously sways or controls the action
of the man who Is counted among
those never known to drink to excess.
Notwithstanding all this, the saloon
more than ever before Is regarded
with disfavor by respectable people.
Sooner r~later--every well-mear,ing
person who gives any attention what
ever TO the liquor problem, II he Is
capable OF sane reasoning, will come to
see the fallacy and the wickedness OF
any form OF license as applied to the
sale OF liquor for beverage purposes.
10 90 a
tian Temperance union on the question
of Mormonism Is well understood not
only by all members and friends OF the
organization, but by the public at
large. The Smoot investigation has
furnished fruit to justify movement
that will make polygamy an offense
against the United States; an offense
that can be dealt with In the United
States courts--hence It is plainly our
duty to favor and to work for ma
tional constitutional amendment" ;
