the several cities the two amendments af-
fecting commissioners OF the revenue and treas
urers makes interesting showing. For In
stance in Richmond. where the Times Dispatch
circulates most widely and is supposed to exert
most influence. the vote against its contention
more decisive and one-sded than in any
other city. Less than one-third OF the vote
recorded in Richmond against the amend

even violent opposition or the Times Dispatch
in Petersburg, where the Index-Appea opposed
the amendments more than n third Of those
voting against the amendments. while in
Roanoke, where the Evening World opposed

A United States Senator who al
ways spoke in favor of parcels post
and who always voted against it, ex-
planned his position thus: As a private
citizen L consider it disgrace that
the U, S. is the only civilized country
without it, as n Senator I am the
mouth piece Of my constituents.
They do not want it, for | receive
many letters from them requesting
me to vote against il aud few asking
me to vote for it,
Are you, temperance man, asking
your Senators to vote for temperance
measures? The liquor men say in

the trade to be watchful, so hat the
whole influence of the trade may be
quickly exerted at given point,

Anti'Saloon League met in the same
city. The Farmers Congress held it's
annual session in Columbus, Ohio.
1t is composed of farmers from every
state and relies upon public senti-
ment to secure the enactment of its
recommendations All three socie-
ties take strong ground in favor OF
stringent legislation on the part of
Congress to prevent the traffic in
spirituons liquors under national IL
cense across state lines.
Col. Il. NJ. Maus, Of the medical
| corps of the u. s. A., writes: "Our
young men are more moral and tenn
perate, and the drinking is only one
half of what existed from 1885 to 1900
when beer was allowed in the can
teens. Practically all crime in the
army can be traced to alcoholic
drinks. Men who are no abstainers
would be induced to drink by non
commissioned officers and older SOL
diers." Yet n petition has been sent
to Congress to re-introduce the can
teen. Will pastors and other temper
ance men please write at once to our
Senators and Representative request
ing them to vote against it.
