A meeting or the w. c. T. U. was
held in the High school auditorium
Friday afternoon at o'clock. The
program follows:
Duet-Messrs. A. c. oliver, Chas
j. Dibble
Reading of first prize essay,
Value of Total Abstinence to Life"
Miss Jennie Barnes.
Recitation by Miss Ethel Stephens.
Reading of second prize essay,
Effect of Alcohol on the Laboring
Man" Miss Ruth Freeman.
Song, Miss Jennie Hagaman.
Address by Mrs. Geo p. Ross,
President of the w. c. T. u, which
follows:
presume the question has come
to your minds many times, why does
the w. c. 7. u. come every year to
our schools, asking us to write es-
says on some phase of the effects of
alcohol on the human sytsem? | will
tell you one of the reasons. The hope
of our nation is our young people,
and the recruiting ground for the
men and women of the future is the
school, and how important it is they
should be trained in the right direc-
tion at the very beginning. Hon.
Richard Hobson of Santiago fame,
says one-third of our drunkards con-
tract the habit before they are six
teen years of age.
When you realize that 1000 men
are killed every day of the year by
alcohol, we wonder who will take
their place. We do not want it to
be our boys, or our neighbor's or
friends boys. So, we are striving
every day to educate you to the evils
of alcohol so that you will never
take the first drink and then you
will never be in danger of being
caught in the demons clutches. The
nations life itself is at stake wheth-
er we advance or recede, as a nation
depends on the quality of the men
and women we produce in the next
two or three generations. All scien-
lists tell us the progeny of even the
moderate drinkers are degeneTates,
and as the habit of drink is practiced
| to a much greater extent in cities
and towns than in the country and at
! the present rate of the growth of
cities over the country life, if no
check is put upon the spread of al
| cohol degeneracy, the day cannot
be far distant when liberty in great
states must go under. 1t will then
be but question of time when the
average standard of character of the
nations electorate will fall below
that honorable minimum, and liber-
ty will take it's flight from America
as it did from Greece and Rome. The
overthrow of liberty. in America
would be a sad event for the world
If free institutions cannot stem the
flood of the alcohol demagogue in
this land, there is little hope for
other lands. Then if these things
are true, and careful research has
proven them, we want our boys and
girls to be the best informed, and ot
the very best principles of any boys
and girls of any nation, and that is
why we worked so hard to have
scientific instruction taught in oul
schools, and why we are so anxiou!
to help our young people in every
way"
The essays were written by mem
bers of the freshman class, and the
judges were r. NJ. Stocker, Rev. G
IS. Wendell and G. p. Ross.

SOAP, two refined preparations will

End. They are not experiments,
but are proven cures for every form
of skin or scalp affections whether
on infants or grown persons.
3rd. They work on a new princi.
pie. They do not glaze over the sur.

out nine men. Ballas and Branning
each filled the box after the fifth but
Honesdale hit them pretty hard.
Breidenstein, the new recruit, pitched
a good game for Honesdale and held

STAND BY THE GUARD, BOYS.

Non-attendance at church, lodge,
drill or any work, is evidence of a
lack of interest. Outside of good
intentions must be action coupled
with attendance. No organization,
society or church can increase it's
membership without some enthusi-
asm being manifested. Enthusiastic
members can accomplish wonders
when their heart and soul are in
their work. Despite all a pastor,
lodge officers, president of an or
ganization or captain of a company
of men may do, if he is not support
ed by the rank and file, his plans
certainly cannot be carried out to
the letter, which results in failure to
a certain extent.
Company E, 18th Regiment, n. G,
p, since its inception, over thirty
years ago, has been the pride of the
town. The company has struggled
along all these years, to within a
year ago, without a State armory.
Since getting this new $4,000
structure interest has waned instead
of increased and the boys are appar-
emily careless about their attend
ance at drill, which is not only dis
heartening to their alert and faith
full captain, C. j. Kelley, but it was
painful to the inspecting officers who
held inspection last Wednesday
evening.

On Thursday of this week we shall
observe a Legal Holiday that has no
counterpart in any other country in
the world, by decorating with flowers
and flags the graves of men who
fought in the War for the preserva-
tion of the Union, that begun more
than tifty-one years ago. The sur
viving veterans of that great strug-
gle have become few and too feeble
to decorate all the graves of their
comrades who have gone before.
But there will be no lack of flowers
or flags. The beautiful custom will
Lot be permitted to fall into disuse.
1t will, no doubt, be kept up for
generations to come in honor of
those who gave all, or risked all,
for their country, and as an inspir-
ing lesson to American youth.

GERMANY is IN ACCORD.
Believes in Views set Forth in Ger

Berlin, Feb SIT is hoped and conll-
IDENTIFY believed here that the German
American notes setting forth the views
OF the two governments regarding con-
ditions in China will lead to formal dee
larations by all the interested Powers
on the same lines. Germany, from the
beginning of the disorders in China, has
taken the same stand as the United
states, and has expressed her accord
with the suggestions for common pol
icy in China which states Secretary
Knox has submitted several times to the
Powers. The latest steps were taken on
German initiative but the credit belongs
equally TO the Washington state depart
ment. Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador at Washington, acted IN
fun accord with State Secretary Knox
in submitting the original German note
which ELECTED American reply. The news
papers here make a feature OF the notes
today. The Krenz Zeitung sees in them
a warning that certain Powers which are
seeking special advantages in China must
count on Joint German and American
opposition to their plans.

REFERENDUM FOR OHIO.
Supporters Win Decisive Victory in
Constitutional Conventions.

ling an address, today, by Gov Harmon
in which he took strong ground against
incorporating a clause providing for
state wide initiative and referendum
in the new constitution. supporters of
the proposed initiative and referendum
plank won a decisive victory in the

late.
The governor said in his address
that the idea of direct legislation still
is in an experimental stage and that
Ohio would do well to at least wait till
il had been given a thorough trial in
other states. He defined his own posi-
tion on the subject as being the atti-

The declaration of the governor caused
a sensation among the delegation sup
porting the initiative and referendum
coming as it did when the convention
was about to take up for consideration a

Halfhill resolution. backed by opponents
of the initiative and referendum, propos-

ing obtained pledges from many members
to abide by caucus action on that sub
ject.
After Gov. Harmon,s speech and at
the close of an acrimonious debate the
convention tabled the resolution. The
vote stood 60 to As. President Bigelow led
the debate on the resolution, declaring
that it was being supported by ''reac-
tonaries."
In his speech Gov. Harmon also urged
the convention to provide home rule Tor
cities in the state, and urged that the
question of licensing saloons be left 10
