Woman's Influence Rightly Rated.
Since the last heroic campaign in
Texas, the men of that state have come
to look upon the. temperance women
there with added respect and admira-
ton. This is not true only of men in
the ranks Of the temperance forces, but
also Of those antagonistic to the cause.
No greater compliment has been paid
to the valuable services given by wo.
men than that uttered by Jacob Vol.
tiers, one of the leaders of the pro-
liquor forces; In a speech made before
the legislative Investigation Commit.
tee. 1t was to the effect that voters at
the last election we're inundated by
white ribboners, and contained the
suggestion that laws restraining them
from taking part on election day,
should be, enacted. Could there be
more convincing proof that the cour.
ageous workers of the W. C. T. U.
have come to be a power which the
forces of evil realize they must reckon
with, and one which they fear almost
more than any other? Such an admis-
sion from the enemy puts new courage
into the heart of every woman who is
fighting the battles for God and home
and native land.-Union Signal.
Reform Schools and Breweries.
During q recent Investigation Of the
Indiana State Reform School for Girls
some interesting but depressing facts
were disclosed. They we're to the effect
that by far the greatest percentage of
girls in this institution comes from the
three cities of Indiana which have the
largest number OF breweries: Indianap-
oils, Terre Haute and Fl. Wayne. 1t
was also brought out that a goodly
number OF these delinquent girls had
brothers in the Boys Reform School
at Plaintield, showing that the same
conditions which contribute to a girls
downfall brings about q like result in
the life of the boy. What can it profit
a city to gain the whole world OF brew
cries and lose its own girls and boys?
Where brewery interests abound, there
will be also lawiessness; the closer the
liquor interests come to the home, the
greater the destruction to the family.
Union Signal.
The dismissal of Secretary Of Agrio-
ulture Wilson from President Taft's
