HOW THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
is IN POLITICS.

The liquor traffic is in politics,
and it must be met and put to
death in that citadel. Call the
Iona roll of states which have
in the past secured state Prohi-
bition and ask how they lost it.
Political bargains and treachery
tell the tale in every instance.
Political organization is the only
remedy to prevent the repetition
of the same sad story in all the
territory that Is now freeing it
self from this curse.
The liquor traffic has no poll
tics and no patriotism but its
own business.
1t has for years dictated with
few exceptions all nominations
for political office at every local,
state and national election.
Its political strategy and power
are its citadel of strength.
To break 1t of it's power we
must compete with it in the
election of public officers.
To do that all men who are
opposed to it must ultimately
stand together in one political
organization, call it what you
please.
1t will be a political party no
matter what you call it.
We believe the time has come
for such great moral revolu-
ton. The nation needs now as
it has never needed new moral
issue infused into its political
life. The times are ripe for such
a political reaignment as will
place all the friends of the home
and of humanity from the north
and south, the east and west,
side by side against the common
foe of all. Such is the great
mission of the political Prohibi-
ton party. We have carried for
forty years and never lowered the
banner for local, state and ma
tional Prohibition, and so help
US God we will never haul down
that banner until the nation is
redeemed and the old flag we
love shall protect every home in
the Iand.-Robert n. Patton.

Needs and Opportunities of Farm
Women.
BY Mrs. M. Myers.

BY Mrs. Nj. Myers.
Driving over some of our beautiful
state roads or riding on the interur-
ban cars one is impressed by the
beauty OF some of the farm homes and
we think that the women Who live In
these homes must have few needs anu
many opportunities.
But the great majority Of our farm
women are not so fortunate as those
l have spoken Of. In fact there are
many OF our dear sisters with natures
as tender as our own, whose lives are
spent in very different homes. We
pass their places too, very often. and
our hearts ache for those whom fate
has ordered to spend their lives in
such apparently unhappy surround
ings. Struggling on for d bare living,
nobly trying to bear the burden them
selves, that their children may attain
better things; and like the noble
women of ancient Rome, asking no
honor save TO be known as the mother
of their children. Nor are they dis
appointed in this, for the history OF
our country shows that such homes
and mothers have given these To ill
the lists OF her honored sons and
daughters.
Women in general love beautiful
home, but even this. much as it may
be desired, is not ia itself sufficient TO
ill a woman'S life. Even the dear
ones in the home, and the duties and
pleasures IF every day life become
tiresome and monotOuS II not mixed
with proper mental exercise and social
relaxation. Our present day life
lacks much of the informal sociability
which Sweetened the lives Of our
grandmOthers and mothers. until to-
day lin some localities at least) only
formal calls and occasional meeting at
at church or in town Is left us for So
cial intercourse. This is not sufficient.
Women hunger and thirst for sociabil-
ity, mental food. moral uplift, such as
may be found in a well planned, up
tO-date society, especially designed
and planned by the large-hearted,
sympathetic women, who have seen
the need Of it In their own life and in
the lives Of other farm women with
whom they come In touch. Their
efforts met with meritted success, and
Is known as the Michigan Ladies So
ciety of Equity whose aims and object
Is to assist In every possible way the
mems Society Of Equity, and also to
give the farm women of America a So
ciety that will meet and fill all the re-
auirements of woman's life.
Here is the farm wOman's opportun-
ity. Look into this work earnestly.
Become member Yourself and do all
you can to get others TO join with you
Imagine, IL You can, the majority of
the farm women of Michigan united
and working along the same lines, for
the same purpose; then add to this all
the other states in the Union, and
what Is the result? Is there anything
we asked for we could not get? Give
the farm women of America very
few years o: united action. and we
will show TO the world a country
where the brightest, happiest and
best spot 10 1t is farm home, and a
society which, as an agent for the
good OF humanity, stands SECOND only
TO the church OF God.

When God Let's Loo,s a Thinker.

Beware when the great God let's

all things are at risk. 1t Is as when
confagration has broken out in a
great city. and no man knows what is
safe or where 1t will end. There is
not n piece of science but Its flank
may be turned tomorrow. There Is
not any literary reputation, not the so
called eternal names Of fame, that may
not be revised and condemned. The
very hopes of man, the thoughts Of
his heart, the religion Of nations, the
manners and morals Of mankind, are
all at the mercy of new generaliza-
ton. Generalization Is always a new
influx Of the divinity into the mind
hence the thrill that attends it.-Ralph

sport to initiate everything he did.
When the young man entered the par

proceeded to stroke his hair. Both
girls followed. Then he Strengthened
his collar. They did the same, and a

You're holding your head too high:
You're the slave Of a foolish pride.
With your face to the starry sky
You would try to look dignifed,
But you're trampling on the flowers
That around your pathway lie:
You are crushing the blossoms beneath
your feet,
And you never can see in your blind con-
ceit.
For you're holding your head too high.
You are holding your head too high.
You have nothing TO give but a sheer.
You are passing your old friends by
For the new. who are less sincere.
All, tbs all very WELL my dear,
With proud and scornful eye,

But youll often forget to look down at
