w. C. T, u. NOTES,

In Mr.. Piatts most exoellont lecture he
drove home some truths. also some start
ling statistics. He said there were 49,
100000 girls and boys in the United
States and that 100000 of then
have gone wrong, and whose fault is itY
We cannot lay it all together on the par
ents. for no parent wants to see their
darlings lead wayward life. But today
there are so many more allurements than
of old; conditions have changed, and
there is only one way out of these terrible
conditions and that is freedom from
strong drink and from the use of all mar
ootlcs can come only through the knowl-
edge of truth concerning the effects of
these evils in general. and knowledge can
come only through educating the masses.
and this is the aim of the W. C. T. u.
through our literature and public speak,
ers during this campaign year. We have
thirty-two speakers in Colorado who will
endeavor to reach every nook and corner
of the state. Our literature is being
sown broadcast and many people are
learning truths they never knew before.
We cannot afford vacation this year
for we must be up and doing if we would
win in this great battle against the liquor
traffic,
