conspicuous by their absence, We
should need no police or constables.
no charity commissions, no nothing.
Temperance Work Proper.
OF course. just as present It is con-
sidered the proper thing to do tenn
perance work in some way but there
are plenty OF ways in which you can
do temperance work without hurting
the saloon a bit For instance. you can
do as they do In church conferences
and brewers conventions, fire volley
OF resolutions at It and then run; or
you can pray against the saloons.
That won't do any hurt, because if that
is all You do your prayers won't go
higher than your head anyway: but
see to it that You are not coaxed into
voting temperance. That is the very
worst thing you could do. In the first
place, you would lose your vote. and
whatever else you do. don't throw away
your vote. Throw away your principle
II you must. but save your vote. Why,
you can sell 1t for SO cents to either
could get a dollar II you stood for it
and it. wouldn't make q bit OF difference
to the saloon which party gets it My
word for II. you stand by the saloon
and the saloon viii stand by you as
long as you have q cent OF money in
an important factor rum Is when it
comes to arrangtng sub~national af-
fairsf II We had no whiskey to buy
votes with. the other party would be
sure to win and this country would go
to smash. Then see how beautifully
OF our villages; but even this does not
satisfy some, Oh, let us no longer talk
or n high license. but let us have this
glorious beverage free. Why not, If
1t Is q good thing. and surely have
proved you that it Is.

liquor traffic in Connecticut, sayinE
that 100000 more was needed this

this is because we do not vote for q
