AN INTEMPERATE TEMPERANCE
ADVOCATE

In defining temperance Webster's
dictionary does not refer to the word
as relating exclusively to the degree
of indulgence Of the appetites. One
definition of the word is given as
Moderation Of passion; patience,
calmness; sedateness." A quotation
from Spenser: "He Gained his wrath
with goodly temperance" is given as
an illustration.
This defination Of the word is re-
spectfully referred to the Rev. c. e.
Cornell of Chicago, who yesterday in
an address before the Cook County
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
said:
II wish the decent people of Chi
cago would get so disguised with the
insolence and lawlessness of the sa-
loonkeeper that they would be com,
PEELED to vomit I wish the advocates
of liquor selling would continue their
brazen defiance of state laws until
they become odious I wish the
streets would run with blood in this
struggle. I'd like to go out with a gun
myself
And the fifty, members of the tenn
perance union present who applauded
the speaker loud and long might look
up the dictionary, too. And they might
take the time, too, to seriously ques-
ton themselves if the cause of tenn
perance Or prohibition will be aided by
the extreme utterance OF a fanatica1
speaker who wishes 'to see the streets
run with blood in the struggle

THE ILLINOIS suFFRAGETTEs.

1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
good women of the Illinois W. G. T..
U. do not take too seriously the adj
vice given them by Prof. George A.
Powles Of one of the Chicago high
schools in an address the other day.
II they do, the dignified old state of
Illinois is likely to become all mussed
up and that, too, just at time when
a presidential election is coming on
with the task of entertaining one of
the conventions, with gubernatorial
election impending, with more than
ordinarily warm campaign, with a
few odd asylum scandals to keep the
state agitated and with Emma Gold
man on the warpath rampant and re-
curing all the police available to pre-
vent her from spreading her beautiful
anarchistic tearchings. Prof Powles
believes that the women should strike
for suffrage and keep on striking I'M
til some Of them go to prison. Here
is the way he put it:
"I'd like to go down to Springfield
and bother Governor Deneen on this
matter. Have you ever tried it? Have
you can? Have you ever sent a petit
IlOl W OpfluSlelu containing lUU,UUu
names that you can get? Have 10000
of you ever gone down there and
blocked the capitol Hobbies and
streets? Have you ever braved a po-
liceman in the cause?
LET your enthusiasm carry you to
daring deeds. Hang around those in
power until you become odious. Get
men talking about your sacrifice"
Cause all the trouble you can; block
the lobbies and streets; hang around
those in power until you become
odious, and finally, get thrown into
Jail. Truly it's gay life the Chicago
professor would inaugurate.

JAPAN AND THE FLEr

Japan's invitation to the government
TO have the Atlantic fleet visit a
japanese port on it's around the world
voyage, and the. American govern
ment acceptance of the invitation
should be reassuring to those patriot
ic gentlemen who have seen war
clouds lowering over us every time
the skies were overcast It will give
them, as well as their equally patri-
otto and equally yellow friends in the
far east little object lesson for con-
sideration, which is that America and
japan are still On terms of cordial
friendship.
The Japanese government cleverly
seized upon the invitation to the fleet
as an evidence that it did not consider
the hostility engendered on the Pacific
coast by the Frisco riots a true in
dication of the sentiment here regard
ing the Japanese people. And the
governments acceptance of the in
vitation will give a manifestation that
the Japanese government has taken
the proper view of the situation.

the clerk made it daily practice to
take a daily lunch of pie and milk or
coffee at the railway lunch counters.
He has gone over the matter carefully

years on the road he has eaten enough
pies to make path eighteen inches
wide and twenty-seven miles long.
And it must be remembered in con-

seven miles of pie, that this was rail-

kind that mother used to make.
