whose homes may be made miserable
by the use of liquor. You know what
is right and to do away with such
evil influence because God is on your
side and whenever that Higher Power
denounces evil and your conscience
tells you it is wrong, stand firm on
your decision and let God be your
Judge.
However, I understand some Of the
ladies are preparing to visit the polls
as a suggestion, l really think If you
want to thoroughly disgust and sick
en- the men out, is to show too much
interest in them. They don't ap-
preciate women il they show to
much interest in them. Then let us
hold on to that one main thing, good
influence upon the men. l do not ap-
prove of women taking an active part
in mems rights, so far as to canvass
the city or go to the polls. I deem it
your duty to do all the good you
can, but without degrading the fem
mime Sex think prayer for the right
is the help needed.

WORD TO RICHMOND PUBLIC.

Twice this week in his ADVERTISE
ments in behalf of the saloons OF
Richmond. Mr. J. Bennett Gordon has
charged that l am receiving money
for the time which I am devotlng to
the present local option campaign.
In Thursday evenings issue he refers
to me as a paid official OF the Anti
Saloon League
l hereby brand the statements as
absolutely false. / am not paid Of
fetal of the league or Of any other
temperance organization, and am not
receiving and will not receive cent
of money for anything | am doing in
behalf of this effort to get the saloons
out of Richmond.
| receive no salary or pay whatever
for any work except as editor and
manager of The American Friend. al
though I am giving the bulk of my
time and of the work of my office
temporarily to this local option cam
paign, as many other men in the city
are doing.
Mr.. Gordon has simply made a
reckless statement. the accuracy OF
which could have been easily dispos-
ed by the use of postage stamp. It
is this same recklessness that is char
acterizing his whole advertising cam
paign, and tends as do a good many
other of his statements, to throw dis
credit upon all.
While it has nothing to do with the
case, it may be we'll to say that this
campaign is not being waged by the
Anti-Saloon League. but has been
planned and financed wholly by Rich
mond people.

At union temperance meeting held
Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs
Ross Robinson, 361a South Eleventh,
street, Miss Gaynelle Frantz deliver
ed the following address:
I will endeavor to give you ladies
the best on this subject "Temperance"
l am capable Of, and hope it will prove
interesting to you.
A long time ago clubs were organ
lied in different counties such as
1.-THE American Temperance Society"
"The Youths Temperance Society,"
1.-THE British and Foreign Society
etc. Also papers were edited and pub
lished, 1.-THE Journal of Humanity"
"Tetotallers' Companion"
1t made no difference what denomi-
nation, whether Catholic or Protest
ants, all joined and formed these
clubs In order to do away with all in
toxicating liquors. The clubs were
widely known and practically did an
enormous amount of good at that
time. However this did not altogeth-
er prevent nor stop this evil influence
and today the same question is un-
settled. Today we have elections,
where not only few in clubs can have
the right or be reached. but all men
have equal right to vote.
I want to put three points before
you, ladies. The first one Is to show
you it is wrong through a scriptural
standpoint: Second | will take up a
physiological view. and third the So
cial standpoint. I say it is wrong
by Cd Scriptural, GU Physiological,
CD Social.
First we have the Scriptural. for
the only strong drink mentioned in the
Bible is wine. 1t is both praised and
blamed. Are the sacred writer's re-
ferrng in both cases to the same
kinds of wine? 1t is found that ten
or twelve different designations for
wine are used, but the two by far the
most frequent terms are "Yayin" and
"Tirosh". The first "Yayin", is the
generic term for wine. 1t must EN-
brace fermented liquors. 1t is the
word used when wine is denounced
1t is mocker prov. Xx:D Wine is

think of our quality of gray matter if

should be raised because Richmond
should be voted dry, we think the adj
vantage would be worth the increased
rate and any way we would get it
back along other lines. For instance,
perhaps our grocery bills would be
