ioi youhS men VINO 90 not drink
to fill the positions of import
ance. Banking institutions seek
sober men to do their work; mer-
chants look for sober CLERKS. A
drinking man cannot do perfect
work on the farm, aud so on down
through the line.
1t is the young men who lead
sober, industrious lives who stand
far the best chance of EMPLOY
ment, who stand at the head of
their chosen vocation. Then, in
the social life, the young women
respect the young man who will
give an emphatic "no" when
asked to take drink of intoxica
ting liquors. Not long since
party of five or six young men
were heard discussing a Ger
man" held in town not far
away, at which function Punch"
had been served. The question
arose as 10 whether or not a
young man could drink and not
be found out. One said they
could, but to the hearers de
light another answered that the
"boys" We're sadly deceiving
themselves if they thought they
could drink and 60 among the
young ladies and they not find
it out.
Oh, mothers! is it not time we
come to the rescue and teach our
boys the danger of strong drink?
leach them that it not only hurts
their influence but Injuries them
physically? There are many dis
eases caused directly from drink
ing.
Then teach our girls to shun the
boy who drinks as they would
serpent. If the women of this
land of ours would take a decid-
ed step forward in the temper
ance cause, there would be some-
thing done and we might hope
that in the near future the drink
curse would be banished from
our land. And l believe uni il
we do this that the "Demors
Drink, will gain a stronger and
yet stronger hold nnon our young
men ; more and more of our fair
daughters be married to men
who drink: more hearts be brok-
en- and homes ruined. The only
way we can hope to save them
is by patiently training them TO
shun the evil.
On, christian mothers, let me
appeal to you in behalf of the
children OF our land. can we af-
ford to 90 on as we are going,
and let our boys go with evil
companions, be taught by older
ones that to drink will not hurt
them, that they can drink as
much as they wish and yet 90
among the best of society? al.
low them to be the husbands OF
our daughters and then in the
end try to justify ourselves that
we did what we could! Can we
in the end say as Paul said, "II
have fought a good fight, | have
finished my course, | have kept
the faith?

That Fred NJ Warner will have TO
encounter much adverse sentiment In
all the cities OF the state seems more
certain as the gubernatorial fight
wakes warm and points in his record,
which he is not mentioning. are being
brought up for consideration.
One of these chickens now coming
home, to roost is the prison labor
amendment to the constitution which
was passed through the 1907 legisla.
ture with the backing OF the governor.
Union labor opposed II and. although
II carried at the spring election, IL was
largely because the question was not
understood by the mass Of voters.
Generally speaking. the electors will
vote for any constitutional amendment
on the assurance that the legislature
and governor have considered and IA
Worldly passed upon it and this amend
ment came up at an election which
drew particularly small vote In the
cities where union labor Is strong.
Now Warmers action is being re-
called, however, and he will be called
on to explain to the satisfaction OF
thousands Of union labor men why he
advocated and signed measure
which conflicts with their declarations
OF many years.
The amendment came up as senate
bill No. 1873, joint resolution No. 8. II
was passed by the house and senate
March 6, 1907, signed by the governor
and submitted at the election the fol-
lowing month. The only general can
didates chosen at this election were
two regents OF the state university.
The election was coincident with the
regular spring election in the town
ships and small towns and drew a
fair vote in the districts outside the
cities.
This amendment to the constitution
giving sanction to the teaching OF
trades to convicts was only an auxil-
larry move looking to the installation
of the state binder twine plant In
Jackson. which was pet project OF
Gov. Warmers.

clothing was of the finest material and
he had been dressed with scrupulous
care. The dresses and even the pin

was dressed in black when she left

years old, and talked very little about
herself Both nurses who attended
