THINGS TO remember

~ he"s.'''o.'s
That impurity is twin to drunkenness.
That the drunkard is Outlawed by
himself.
That the slave of drink is easily recog-
nized by his looks
That if allowed to go unchecked,
strong drink means death at last.
That If you remove the saloon from
the sluWs you will have no slums,
That the two great branches of work,
temperance and missionary, are 80
closely connected that every earnest
worker for the uplifting Of humani-
ty must consider himself pledge to
both
That seven cities of this country. each
llaving a population Of over 100000
are existing very comfortably with
out saloons, and they are not dead
cities either.
That the motion that there must be
debauchery to insure property Is
not so widely entertained as it used
to be.
That the man VINO "can take drink
or let it alone" somehow or other
usually decides that it is not worth
while letting alone-and takes the
drink.

W.C.T.u. Notes
UNSETTLED

UNSETTLED
However the battle Is ended,
Though proudly the victor comes,
With fluttering flags and prancing
nags,
And echoing roll of drums;
Still truth proclaims this motto,
In letters of living light,
No question is ever settled,
Until it is settled right.
Though the heel Of the strong oppres.
SOr,
May grind the weak in the dust,
And the voices of fame with one &C.
claim
May call him great and just;
Let those who applaud take warning
And keep the motto in sight,
No question is ever settled,
Until it is settled right.
Let those who have failed take cour-
age;
Though the enemy seems to have
won,
Though his ranks are strong, if he be
in the wrong,
The battle is not yet done;
For, sure as the morning follows
The darkest hour of the night,
No question is ever settled,
Until it is settled right.

PROHIBITION GOOD
FOR THE SOLDIERS

Secretary Meyer of the Navy De-
partment is said to have Endorsed
the local option bill in Maryland on
the ground that it will permit the cati-
zens Of Annapolis to close saloons
adjacent to the national naval acad-
envy. In stating his position, Mr..
Meyer quotes a statement made in
the report of the judge advocate gel-
eral of the army two years ago to
the effect that where states have
passed laws prohibiting saloons with
in q given distance of military reser-
vations, the Legislation has been pro-
ductive of most beneficial results"
Thecontinent in commenting on this
statement, remarks, IF the Secretary
of War. like the Secretary CT the Navy
would only devote himself to getting
legislation of that kind, tae army
would enjoy more of those Denehcial
results But instead, the Secretary
of War and his leading officers seem
to refer to waste their time on their
certainly Intellectual effort to get beer
back into the canteen."
