THE SECRETARY'S CORNER

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES IIIIlI1IIIIIlInIIIIIIrN
Now that the election is over, and
it will be many months before another
partisan contest disturbs the public
mind, it seems an opportune time to
consider some questions of vital mo-
ment to the great santi-saloon cause
The divisions in the temperance
army that too often manifest them
selves in great crises should be viewed
with the gravest concern by all who
hope for the ultimate triumph of the
temperance movement. The average
temperance man has yet to learn that
he cannot stand for the cause in one
campaign and vote for liquor candi-
dates in another with any degree of
safety. Partisanship, prejudice, cred
ulity, indifference, all combine at times
to place the cause of temperance re-
form in jeopardy. Until the temper
ance army as whole is ready to vote
as a unit for candidates who at all
times will stand squarely for live, up
to-date temperance issues, we may
expect uncertainty and continued de-
feat
Then, too, the jealousies and sus-
picions in temperance ranks are all
wrong. The liquorites set a better
example than that. In the face of
common danger they forget their diff
ferences and stand as a unit for their
own interests. There are sharp diff
ferences between the brewers and dis
tillers, between retailers and whole
salers, that ordinarily would provoke
open hostility in the liquor ranks; but
when attacked, in whole or in part,
the cause of one is the cause of all
and they fight with a unity and per-
sistency that is worthy of better
cause.
What pity that this example can
not be emulated by the temperance
forces! The liquor traffic will never
be overthrown by jealous armies who
take the field, campaign after cam
paign, in detached companies, which
fire upon one another more than they
do upon the common enemy.
The greatest need of the hour is to
devise a basis for a working agree
ment among all temperance forces
that will mean cooperation and con-
centration of effort instead of bicker-
