makes drunkards; the supply of
drunkards at the present time is be-
yond the demand; let us cIose down
the works until advancing civilization
gnds some use for the product. And
In the meantime let us take good care
OF the drunkards we have, for we
helped to make them.
The strongest argument against the
saloon 1s moral argument. The
strongest Is alb usiness argument Let
us analyze 1t. The most energetic
promoters OF drunkenness today are
tnose who have money invested In
the business, and who want to make
IL pay That promoter may be the
owner OF the brewery or the whole
sale agent for the distiller. These
men may not want TO make a drunk
ard OF a man for fun, for there Is no
fun In 1t. But they have their money
up agains. the happiness of your
home. against the good name and the
l.onor OF your child. against your own
immortal soul. and they would rather
see you lose than lose themselves.
British women are now forming
Tipperary clubs which will bring to-
gether not only the wives, mothes and
daughters OF the fighting soldiers and
sailors. but also the cousins. sisters,
aunts and every woman who wants
to do something for the recruits and
the absent soldiers.
Woman suffrage failed to pass in
the Maine house at Augusta. Although
the vote In favor of the resolution
proposing to submit to the voters of
the State the question of giving wo-
men the right to vote was favored
by SO to So. with one pair and two alb
sentees. it fell short ofthe two-thirds
majority required.
AS far back as 1880 there was in
Vienna q man dressmaker, probably
the first OF his kind. His name was
Rhomberg. and he was the son of n
Bavarian peasant from the neighbor-
hood Of Munich. He owed his sue
cess to his genius for concealing and
remedying defects OF figure. He drove
beautiful carriage ON the boulevard,
and had an escutcheon in the shape
OF pair OF corsets and an open pair
of --'ssors painted on the panel OF
e. = -~Jr. He left large fortune to
his heirs.
A professor of English literaturs
who gave the same course in a col
lege for men that he gave in a COL
iege for women that was affiliated
with 1t, was asked II he assigned the
same amount OF outside reading .
the women that he did to the NE.
NO" he replied; II have to be very
careful about that. From years OF
experience have discovered that I
must assign about twice as much to
the men as to the women" That
seemed pretty serious reflection on
the women. and the inquirer said SO.
NO." explained the professor, "the
covered that as rule they do only
about half OF what is asked of them,
while as rule the women do ALL"
The prohibitionists, and the liquor
interests are some times found united
on one point and that Is in their dread
Of woman suffrage. In an analysis
OF the Ohio election made by Mary
Grey Peck. in the Woman Voter, she
estimates that half the prohibition
vote in that State was cast in the re-
cent election against woman suffrage.
In the South Dakota assembly the
other day. Representative Bielsbi op-
posed the woman suffrage amendment

htbiton amendment which would
probably go to the voters next year.

cold water on 1t. II the water as
sumes brownish hue It may be con-
cluded that there Is chicory with 1t.
Archdeacon Percy Webber OF Bos-
ton, speaking at Denver, Colo. said:
Society Is no better than the wo-
men whoc ompose It.
Society never will be better than
1t Is until the leaders have the cour-
aeg to boycott the scarlet men who
are now made so welcome In their
drawing rooms and at their dinner
tables.
"The trouble with women today is
that they believe and are comforted
In the belief that Christ came to this
world to save bad men and good
women and that the so-calied fallen
woman Is outside ali redemption.
There is no fallen woman without q
fallen man responsible for her plight.
The time has come, IL society is to
be saved from the Righteousness into
| which 1t has fallen, for women to
frown on mems sins as they frowr on
shining women"
Billy Sunday would have you know,
that he was on the suffrage wagon In
those early days whom Il was thought
to be a hearse and not the band wag-
on 1t Is now known by ali men to be.
