ture as saying that there were more
blind tigrs in Indianapolis with its
saloons than in any dry territory
known. Blind tigers are not prevent,
ed by the saloon; if we add the sa-
loon we have that in addition to the
tigers.
One would expect the saloons to be
meek for at least few months, she
said, where they have gotten back in
to dry trritory; but in Huntington
and other cities where this has oc-
CURED, they are already breaking the
law, as they always have done.
The afternoon session of the con-
veniion was full Of interesting things
Rev. Nov made a forceful address.
He computed that Plymouth will re-
ceive $500 annually for the licence-
ing of its saloons, but then it will
lose money because the harm that
will be done will require that much
TO patch it up, besides the moral cost
of the boys which each parent would
reckon far above $500.
Mrs. Sparks, of Culver, read a
paper of National and state plans.
She said that the plan was the over
throw of the liquor traffic. The State
plans are to increase the membership
to 10000; to hold public meetings and
contests. to have visitation COM
mitee make house to house visitation ::
TO give reception to teachers: to
suppress the obscene pictures on post
al cards; to see that scientific tenn
perance is taught in the schools: and
to arrange for essay contests; to ex-
ert an influence for woman suffrage.
Mrs. Meredith, of Culver, read a
well prepared and interesting paper of
Women in National Reform. She
showed how much more the English
people pay for liquor than for grocer
les. She said that 20 per cent of our
insane are so because of liquor, which
is also accountable for the large part
| Of the epilepsy and tuberculosis.
Mrs. Jones IN talk on suffrage
refuted the statement sometimes made
that it was mostly bad women who
cared for the ballot. She said ignor-
ant women had given ii no thought,
careless women did not care for it.
the women of the red light district
gave no concern to how our country
was run. but the earnest purposeful
women were the ones who wanted to
vote that they might overthrow evils.
Mrs. Tomlinson talked interestingly
on tie life of the immigrant in
America. DR.. Brown gave a few
words of encoura gement, Rev. Fraley
gave an interesting address on "The
man behind the Bar VS.. the man be-
hind the bars, cause and effect" He
asked why not the man behind the
bar be behind the bars as in Plym-
outh today, for he is an enemy 10
man. He estimated that if we have
Ave saloons in Plymouth, each win
probably take in $4,000 per year.
This makes $4,000 which the men
Of Plymouth and vicinity will supply
for drink.
Mrs. JOHN Wright. of Plymouth
read a good paper showing how the
misery which drink causes is liable
TO touch any home. No one can tell
when he will be the one to feel its
sting.
Miss Haines talked on the teacher
and temperance. She wished that the
teachers salary would not come from
saloon licenses but that the license
money would be used for garbage
disposal as it is in some places.
Miss 3erils Tomlinson gave a rect
alton which was Will received. Other
addresses followed.
