tional Womans Christian Temperance
Union cooperate with other woman s
organizations for laws for national
prohibition were made by Lillian NJ
N. Stevens, national president at the
thirty seventh annual convention
here, today.
Other recommendations by Miss
Stevens we're:
That we continue with renewed
energy to appeal to Congress for a law
that will furnish provision for the
protection of prohibition territory
from the notification of its laws
through interstate shipment Of liq-
uor.
That we ask for legislation to pre-
vent the use OF the United States
mails for the purpose of advertising
alcoholic beverages.
That we continue to oppose efforts
for the restoration of the sale of
liquor in the army canteen or in any
place from which it has been ban
ished.
That we work for law that vii!
forbid issuing tax receipts for liz
uor sold within five miles of any
army post or naval station.
That we use our utmost influence
to secure laws for the suppression OF
the white slave traffic.
That we continue our efforts to Sc
cure an amendment to the United
States constitution forever prohibit
ing polygamy.
The speech of the president was a
review of all the accomplishments
during the year. After commencing
the German emperor for his temper
ance address to the naval cadets,
praising Prof. Wiley for his pure foo,
campaign and condemning Secretary
Wilson for addressing the Interna-
tional Brewers, the speaker told in
detail the fight by the union to retain
the prohibitory law in Maine.
From the beginning, she said, 1--WE
realized that one of he chief dangerg
lay in the fact that the people o.
Maine did not know the dangers OF
the licensed saloon. They had nc
conception of what saloon really
IS and they underestimate the powe.
of the liquor forces in the land. The
success of prohibition in Maine had
caused many people TO fall into a
state of Indifference with little real,
izat!on of the benefits they were en-,
joying.
I trust this convention will endors:
the proposition contained in the proc,
lamation of September 10 and will
work for its leading PROVISIONAL,
tional Constitutional Prohibition.
Upon the converting of Congress
Congressman Hobson will introduce
a bill for submitting an amendment
for national constitutional prohibition
and will give to the measure his
hearty active support l trust this
measure will receive the cooperation
Of the Men and Religion Forward
Movement and that they will pro
claim national prohibition a funda
mental remedy for the political, in
dustrial and social unrest OF the day
There has been a report afloa
that the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union has changed its attitud,
in regard to the anti-canteen law AM
: letter to this effect has been pub
lished, purporting to come from
w, c. T. U. woman. 1t can be sal;
truthfully that this report is false
The w. c. I. U. will oppose any an,
all efforts for the repeal of the law.
e I'm common with the great ma
jorty of thoughtful people interested
in the pure food movement, we ar,
| much gratifled that DR.. Wiley. til,
head of the Bureau of Chemistry, ha
received the presidents official ex
/. cneration. 1t is coincidence tina
while expressing satisfaction at til,
retention of DR.. Wiley, we are ais;
expressing most emphatically the dis
satisfaction that Secretary Wilson
remains a member of the United
States cabinet. On first announcement
1t seemed almost unbelievable tina
: Secretary Wilson had consented t,
act as honorary president of the In
ternational Congress of Brewers il
Chicago
1T is impossible to disguise tn,
l fact that the object Of this congress.
