to the use of intoxicating liquors could

addicted to the use of strong drink.

WEST vfRelNIA's PROBLEM.

The states greatest problem is her
constructive development. Rich, vastly
rich, in natural resources, SUCH as
coal, oil, gas, clay and timber, pos
sessed of splendid farms and grazing
lands, and fruit-bearing sections with.
out better anywhere; favored with
great natural water power and al
most unrivaled natural scenery; and
having a strong people, the states
possibilities are without limit.
While improvement of farming con-
ditions; encouragement and upbuild'
ing of manufacturing industries to
make home markets for farm prod
ucts, home consumption of fuel and
employment for labor; enlarged IA
cilities for education; the building of
permanent roads, and greater vision
of civic improvement are among
other factors that enter into the prob
lem, yet there is no single fac
tor greater in Importance, morally,
physically and financially than the
strict enforcement of the states pro
hibitory liquor laws, and to this fac
tor l shall speak this afternoon.
