YOUNG Folks Give Delightful Enter
tainment and Mrs. Beauchamp
Speaks.

The second big temperance enter
tainment Of the series was held In
the opera house here last Friday
evening. IL crowds are an indica-
ton of interest, and interest Of votes
then the people of Stanford have
"A right to feel proud Of the prohi-
hilton votes which will be east here
Saturday. The floor and gallery of
the house we're crowded to their ut
most capacity, many being unable to
find standing room. The program
was furnished by the pupils of
Misses Ballou and jackson and a
chorus of the town singers under the
efficient leadership of Mrs. Carpen-
ter. To them is due in large meas
ure the success Of the entertainment
The songs were well chosen and diff
ficult and meant hours of practice
to those busy men and women who
took part in them.
The program opened with an an
TENN, "Now Let the Gates Of Heav-
Ell Ring" followed by the scripture
reading by Rev. j. J. Dickey, which
showed the basis for the total alb.
stinence and prohibition plea. AZ
ter a prayer by Rev. Bruce the
chorus with Mr.. ireland in the sole
part beautifully rendered 80 Sing
Unto The Lord New Song.
This was followed by Harris Cole

''Where the Lilies Bloom" which
was followed by Effie Baughman
lplaying 'Rain Drops"
'The results Of Treating" BY
Elizabeth Higgins was deserved,
applauded and the chorus then sang
another of their beautiful selections

Harry Reinhart and Miss Josephine
Carpenter are deserving Of special
praise for the skill with which they
played their pieces a Mazurka and
the long and difficult palms" by
respectively. John NJ. Waters read
ing "The Drink Demon" was con-
vincing and the song "Then We turn
our Glasses up side down" by the
children of the second grade was
received with much enthusiasm.
A special and unexpected treat
was the short talk by Mrs. Frances
Z. Beauchamp, the Kentucky Fran
ces Willard. Temperance peo-
pie are always glad to hear this
famous W. c. T. L. leader. Her talk
was pithy and went to the root Of
things. She says blind tigers mean
blind officers and blind officers,
blind voters and so the way to get
hid of the much complaint Of tigers
Is for the voters to wake up and
open their eyes. The whisky ship
ped into dry territory, often in vio-
linton Of the interstate laws is not
so much for the money the whisky
houses get out Of it as il is to break
down public sentiment and make
some people believe that prohibition
doesn't prohibit. OF course, it
doesn't entirely, neither does the law
against murder etc., but it is GER
tainly helps as is shown by the fact
that in prohibition states the aver
age consumption Of whisky per cap
ita for a year is 1 1-2 gallons and
in wet states % 1-2 gallons. She
says there are only two dangers TO
Lincoln county in this fight, viz 1:
Over confidence Of the temperance
party and the danger the election
may be stolen. The program closed
with an appropriate chorus. "Tbs
victory may depend on you"
