A word must be said about our

Importance Of the work demands. If
assistance to families not able to bear
their own burden alone is to be given
effectively and in any other than a

problem must be studied in the home
The policy in each case should be
carefully thought out and judiciously

Temperance People at Work.

The Anti-Saloon League is ear.
nestly seeking to put before the peo-
pie the Issues of the temperance CAM
paign which will close here March
9th, when a special election will be
held to decide whether Shepherds.
to wn will be "Wet" or "dry" for the
ensuing year. Monday night Rev.
DR.. Charles Ghiselin made strong
address before the League, when he
presented some striking figures relst.
ing to this great curse. He quoted
Biblical authority for his statement
that drunkenness ia a crime, and bold
ly charged that the saloons are the
manufactures of drunkenness and re.
sponsible for its attendant sins and
crimes.
Tuesday night Rev. Geo. s Bow
ers, OF Winchester. vice president of
the Virginia Anti-Saloon League, de-
livered an address in the college au-
ditorium that was very interesting as
showing what local option has done in
Winchester. He ave the predictions
of the liquor people and then related
the facts as they have been proven by
six months of local option. The liquor
people predicted that the city tax rate
would be increased Is cents on the
hundred dollars and the State tax l3
cents. The fact is, there has been no
increase in taxation whatever, and
there is no probability there will be.
They predicted that business would
be stifed, property values decrease
and premises left unoccupied. The
facts are that values have increased,
the salooon stands are occupied by
other business enterprises, houses are
all rented, and statistics show increase
of business in general. Labor con-
ditions have improved, building oper-
ations have been active, improvements
have been more extensive than ever.
Crime has diminished, arrests have
been fewer. and during January there
was but one prisoner in the Jail. Lo-
cal option has been fine success
there in almost every respect. Mr.
Bowers made hit when he referred
to the fact that Shepherdstown is pay
ing out $l4 040 year IN order that
it NAV collect $500 IN revenue.
Friday night Dr.. j. A. McAlister,
one of the leaders of the Virginia An
ii Saloon L ague, will be in Shep-
herdstown and make an address. The
people generally are invited to turn
out and hear both speakers.
Next Wednesday Rev. Ed. j.
Richardson, field secretary of the Vir-
GINA Anti.Saloon League, will be
here and speno several days. He is
famous caltoouist, and makes pic
tures while he talks. Rev. T. NJ.
Hare, president of the West Virginia
League, will be here on March 9th,
and other workers will be secured if
possible.
Rev. D. Fl. Kern was to have spok.
en- this Thursday night, but a tele-
gram received this morning states
that he is i'll and cannot come.
