The business Of man-raising, she
declared, IS an awful job. IT takes
two women TO raise one man--his
mother and his wife. and sometimes 1t

that it Is as impossible to raise sound
men in wet territory as 1t is to raise
sound swine under unsanitary condi-
tions, and that the saloons are maxi
ing more delinquents and degenerates
than the efforts of the mothers can
make sound babies

Of his observation that 72 out of every
100 children born in Munich were de-
ficient At later date, she declared,
the same scientist had made similar
experiments in prohibition Maine and
found II l-2 out of every 100 child

"The man who puts down his mon
ey on the bar for a drink of whisky
or beer" she exclaimed, "is simply
cashing in his unborn baby If a
farmer who raised hogs were TO find
that they were getting hold Of some
poison that rendered ~ out of every
100 of them unsound he would do one
Of two things-he would either get
that poison out of their reach or he
would go out OF the hog-raising bust
ness. And" she added in a voice that
went almost to wall, that is what

/ The Night Meeting.
/ A crowd, il anything, larger than
the one that heard Polling and Shell
don Tuesday night filled the audi
torium last night to hear Landrith
and DR. Geise Senator Isaac Barth
presided and Rabbi Noise Bergman
/ opened the meeting with prayer. Mr..
Barth declared that the prohibition
movement Is not the cause OF the
Protestant, the Catholic, or the Jew,
but is the cause of humanity. He said
that it had been asserted that for a
man in public life in New Mxico to es-

be to commit political suicide, and
amidst a round Of applause he added;
"If that Is so, / am glad to sacrifice
my political life for 50 worthy a

toral votes to elect president of the
United States If the people would
make that an issue in a national cleo
ton. He referred humorously to the
!civil war and said that the people of
the south were genuinely glad that
African slavery mad been abolished
"But you people Of the north" he
iadded, started another Kind of hu-
man slavery in 1862 when you Ii
censed the liquor business; and If you
ldon't abolish it, we southerners are
going to come up here and abolish it
flor you. Compared to liquor slavery
African slavery was humane and be-
Inevolent, for we of the south enslav-
ed only the body, while liquor slavery
enthralls body and soul--it enslaves
the home and the school and the leg
lislature and public officials"

Texas, where they roll up 100, 900

ldemocratic-1 had rather be respect
able than republican.

good advice" he added, II know you
iwant more than anything else to get
Woodrow Wilson out of the White
House. If you will put plank calling
