Women's Prohibition Work.
In an address on The Fight for Pro-
hibition in the Pacific Northwest Rev.
A. w. Leonard of Seattle told the dele
gates that women had done seine of
the most remarkable work. He said:
November 3. 1914. Oregon went for
statewide prohibition with total ma
Jority of 36.4S0. Nine hundred saloons
and eighteen breweries in ninety-eight
towns were closed.
Montana has decided that the saloon
shall go. and that will be accomplished
at no distant day.
Idaho decided that this should be
done. The legislature in January. 1919.
passed a resolution submitting a con-
stitutional prohibitory amendment to a
vote of the people. This will be voted
upon November next, and will undoubt-
eddy pass by an overwhelming ma jor-
ity. A bill was presented to the legi sla =
ture providing for statutory prohibit
ton, to go into effect January /. 1916.
Thus by constitutional amendments and
statutory law prohibition Will go into
washington also decided that this
should he done
IN this connection no one organiZa
ton or agency is entitled to more praise
than the Woman'S Christian Temper
ance Union. When little else was be-
subjects OF statewide prohibition the
members of this organization were
tireleSs in their efforts. They organized
their auxiliaries in every town. city and
county and boldly proclaimed that the
people of Washington would some time
strike the enemy its death blow. 1t
was due chiefly to the efforts put forth
by the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union that scientific teaching regarding
the effects of alcohol on the human sys-
TEN was introduced into the curriculum
of public school education by legisla
tive enactment. All honor to the noble
self-sacriticinc women of the w. c. I.
l.. for their splendid achievements i'll
the common cause.
Not infrequently since the franchise
was granted to the women of Wash
ington have there appeared articles in
eastern papers. ostensibly from resi-
dents in Washington. declaring that
woman suffrage is "A failure. and that
if the people of Washington had q
chance to express themselves by bal
lot on this question they would return
to the old order. refusing to grant tG
women the God-given right.
There is no doubt about the fact thai
the state OF Washington could not have

Urges National Prohibition.

Former Gov Malcolm r. Patterson of
Tennessee urged that national prohibit
ton was the proper way to deal with
the liquor question.
The case against the liquor traffic
has been made out he said The wit
nesses who testify conform to every
legal requirement of credibility; they
are intelligent, have the means of in
formation and are willing to speak the
truth. They are science, experience and
religion.
Science, without bias, cold. accurate,
calculating, testifies that alcohol is a
poison to the body.
Experience comes and sets before
our view an inept, sullen. moaning,
struggling, unhappy procession of vic
TINS; SO long that it would almost
it would move a stone to pity. She
shows the dry husks of hope. insa nifty
and sudden death, disease, want, waste
and bloody crime.
Religion comes and delivers her tes-
tmony. She relates how hearts have
been hardened to her eternal truths:
she exhibits rents in the garment of
ing before hate, passion in flame and
love with a broken wing.
There has been no false testimony
delivered; there has been no eXaggera-
ton, no contradiction among these wit
nesses."
Mr.. Patterson discussed state rights.
The duty of government. he said, was
| to surround the citizen with good en-
vironment, to dig no pitfalls in his
path: to make it easy as possible for
the citizen to do right, as hard as pos
Sible to DO wrong.

Suggests War Fund.

Among the numerous points he raised
in questions of strategy, he urged the
acknowledgements of women every
where: incorporation of churches and
all varieties of Christian organizations
bodily into the anti-salocn campaign;
special effort to secure the full CO.
operation of TIE business world. and
the incorporation of a joint national
association for constitutional prohibi-
lion.
He suggested that the mentioned
association should be specially author
lied to issue "a national prohibition
war loan of $1,000, 900, to be 'undervrit-
ten by friends of temperance and to
be guaranteed. with provision for inter-
est and sinking funds. by the various
churches"
Further, Mr.. Hobson would authorize
the association ito make overtures for
liquors capitulation, inquiring as to
liquors terms for complete surrender
and reporting to general convention
to be called by them if any reasonable
grounds CT surrender are reached. This
effort will thereafter eliminate all pleas
of any desire for confiscation or for
injustice to individuals. If liquor re-
fuses to capitulate on reasonable terms,

plans for it's humiliation without
mercy, granting no quarter"
Price of Drink.
Dan Morgan Smith, judge advocate
of the state of Illinois, summed up in
epigrammatic form what he called The
Price of a Drink He said:
The price of a drink ranges from
dime to damnation-the drinker pays
the dime and humanity pays the dam

Enforcement of local or state pro-
hibition depends upon persistent prose
cution of officials who fail to prosecute

Governments Duty.

THE efforts of our government to
suppress the lottery; to stamp on.
polysamy; to destroy human slavery
to prevent the use of narcotics; to
eradicate the diseases of cattle; to pre-
serve the public health; to give the peo-
ple pure food, were all in harmony with
the purpose of its creation, and to
maintain the liquor traffic is a prosti-
tuition of it's power.
stripped of all technicality, the
question is broadly national one, and
the government alone can solve it. The
doctrine of state rights as Il defense to
conscience of civilization was buried
forever under the apple tree at Apo
matoX."
Convention Aroused to Enthusiasm.
Forty state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, representing that
many states and the District of Column
bia, addressed two meetings held
simultaneously on an ocean pier here,
and told of the progress being made in
their respective states to bring about a
complete suppression of the liquor
traffic At the morning session former
Gov. Foss of Massachusetts told the
delegates that national prohibition was
the only remedy to prevent industrial
decay in this country, and last night
other speakers reused enthusiasm by
attacking the manufacture and sale of
intoxicants.
While the thousands of delegates
were receiving inspiration to continue
the war with renewed efforts, the ma
tional board of directors was adopting
resolutions uring Congress to submit
the proposed amendment to the federal
Constitution to the people of all the
states so that they may determine
whether they want national prohibit
ton.
