Work of the w.C.T.U. Again.

Honorable Hi Henry of the esteem
ed Clarion-Ledger, wins new claims
70 that distinctive title by "hieing'
around the true object of our men
ton of the w. c. 7. L., commencing
it for the good work it has done, and
anticipating other fields in which its
influence. sooner or later will operate
with telling effect.
Our valued contemporary, in an eff
fort to be playful discredits our
article by ignoring our purpose TO
impress that women has great in
terest in the enforcement of the laws
that conduce TO the happiness of her
home; that save her husband. father,
brothers or sons, and that contribute
a higher moral life to the age and SO
ciety in which she lives.
It's declaration that the" blind tiger
is an institution of men, and is pa
tronized ny men only is the strong
est invitation that could be given TO
woman 10 turn her effort and in
fluence to the destruction of that
evil
The saloon, also, was an institution
of men, was patronizedihy them only,
and was debauching them by thous-
ands, the women catching the re
sultant of its work in misery and
want. and the far greater suffering Of
anguish, i'm seeing the destruction at
her loved ones.
Yes. it is mans duty to look 10 she
enforcement OF the laws but thank
God women has not considered it
his alone when he has failed in that
duty especially in cases where her
home, the moral conditions OF her
community and the life. reputation
and destiny OF her dear ones are con
cerned.
She has turned the batteries of her
influence against evils that tend TO
debase mankind throughout all ages,
and will not desert in these DAYS of
the blind tiger.
TO her, not as political agent, but
as Il benign, accomplishing factor,
the world owes whatever of moral or
Christian civilization it has attained,
and, if it continues in its strides TO
higher planes. it Will do so through
her endeavors.
The effort of our valued contem-
porary to segregate the work of
woman from that of man in fields
distinctively moral, is a feat in
augumentative iugglery, the success
of which, we feel sure, the Clarion
Ledger would regret Itself
The Weekly CONNIE nded the W. c.
T. L. for its splendid service in aid of
Kidding the State of the Saloon. 1t
will further commend it for what it
may see tit to do in molding public
sentiment tc drive the blind tiger out
as well. 1t is the hearts desire of
the pure women of Mississippi TO ban
ish that evil also. If not openly ac-
tive now, their influence is at work,
and will eliminate in having all man
ly men, not show the white feather,
but wear the white ribbon.

The cotton conference, composed
of men most interested in the pro-
duction Of cotton. and now in ses-
sion at Memphis. will, doubtless,
adopt the expedient Of retiring sev-
eral million bales of the present
crop, to advance prices. Holding,
in our judgement, would accom-
plish the feat, but the ways Of the
cotton market, manipulated by
spectators entirely, are past find
ing out, and until the laws, or
organizations of some kind. regulate
value in the field Of production and
demand. suggestions are too an

just drop me a line, an I'll see they

Its good humanity, though. There's
two things love to do-frst, to down
the man who's me enemy, an, second,
to give good times to folks who's stran-

alderman bowed himself out with

is she too busy? I'll be back in a few
minutes, Dallas, and bring her with

alone Perhaps Dallas, too, under

than usual as her eyes met his.

time! And what a magnificent fight
you made! I was SO proud Of you.

REALLY? I remember you once said
I was a mere idler-a rich mans SON
and that you weren't at all proud Of

''That is past. We must forget it.
You are awake now"
''Forget it? Not for worlds. I owe
all my success to you, Dallas. It was
your face that strengthened me when
there seemed no hope. 1t was the
memory Of your words that kept me
brave and made me resolve to win
against all odds. You were my in
SEPARATION, the light in my darkness. At
each step thought Dallas would be
glad or Dallas would not approve Of
this And I steered my course &C
cordingly to victory"
"No, nor murmured the girl. ut

composites anything by himself. There
is always woman, I think, behind
every great achievement. The world
at large does not see her-does not
know Of her existence-but she's in the
heart Of the man who is making the
fight. He battles in her name as did
the knights Of old, and the triumph is
hers, not his. Whether his reward is
the crown of love or the crown Of
thorns, she is the inspiration"
