the North Dakota Woman's Temper
ance union, grateful to the Divine
Father for his guidance during the
past year, firm in faith for ultimate
triumph of our cause, reafirm sour
allegiance to, our declaration of prin-
ciples. We pledge ourselves to main
tain and increase the efficiency of our
departmental work and to use our best
efforts to carry put the spirit of the
following resolutions:
Since our organization was born in
Prayer, we believe that we should con-
ttnue in the faith of our founders, and
place greater emphasis upon our
~evangelistic department,
Believing that the Sabbath day as
ordained by God, Is one of the chief
bulwarks of III civil and religious
liberty; resolved, hat we do all in our
power to preserve it's sancity n It's
proper observance.
Resolved, that we endorse the pro-
clamation of the national president,
Mrs. Lillian N. N. Stevens. asking for
world wide temperance laws and ma
tional prohibition<in 1920.
Since the ballot is the most power
full way of rendering the influence of
women effective, therefore, resolved,
that we make every effort to place his
weapon in their hands. We congratu-
late all women that another national
political party has espoused the cause
of women suffrage.
1--WE affirm with increased emphasis
our belief in a single standard of
morals n resolve to inform ourselves
upon state and national legislation and
to use every possible means to defeat
measures regulating vice or In any way
giving legal recognition to the social
evil. That we deprecate the Norman
advanc in our state n will use our
best ability to thwart it.
w rejoice In the establishment of
/ Juvenile courts and urge legislation
giving a large appropriation and more
power to juvenile courts. We urge
the passage of an anti-cigaret law
prohibiting the manufacture n sale
of cigarets within our state, with
adequate penalty. We urge legislation
Eagainst snuff until it's manufacture and
sale in North Dakota is prohibited.
J Whereas, we believe that the initiative
and referendum can never bring to
North Dakota any law or laws that
will be of as great value to the state
al large, to our homes, and to our
youth as is our present ~prohibitory law
and whereas, there is no doubt but that
one of the first questions to be sub
mitted under the initiative and referel-
dunn would be that of prohibition,
Therefore,
Resolved, That we stand squarely
opposed to the amendment as applied
/ " AAS - ACAAs
Resolved, That we use every means
possible to urge upon u Legislature
to pass a state liquor inspection law
with SUFFICIENT inspection fees.
Resolved, That we bring before our
next legislature the necessity of bet
ter laws concerning the caring for and
adoption of dependent children and
recommend that the adoption of such
children be under the supervision OF
the Childrens' Home society, which is
a national society with a long record OF
good works. That we recommend that
where by giving a little financial aid
a mother can care for her own children,
such state aid to be given, n children
be cared for by its own mother rather
than by institutions.
Resolved, That we work for a ma"
tional health department.
