POSITION ON STATEWIDE
Should Be Stated By Candidates For
Representative, Says w. c. T. U.
(Contributed)

Inc stanford w. e.. L. u. held a
very interesting meeting Tuesday af-
ternoon with Mrs. Leila B. Cook.
Among other discussions that of
Representative" came up. The wom-
en- agreed that if they had the "say
So they wouldn't support anyone for
that or ANY other office who would
not state his position with reference
to the measure for Statewide Pro-
hibition. The good work of Mr.. Sauf-
ley in the last legislature was so per-
fectly satisfactory that motion car
ried, asking him to again represent
Lincoln county and we promise him
all the help at our command-we can
not vote but we can work and pray.
Why should a church member be-
long to the w. c. T. u? We answer,
we belong:
First-Because we believe that the
liquor traffic is the greatest obstacle
in the way of the triumph of Christ
and His church in the world. 1t is
blockading the highways along which
must come the King in His beauty and
His Triumphal Reign cannot be
ushered in until the dramshop is
cleared away and institutions for
mans elevation are substituted. The
affairs of our church are pitiably de-
void of young men and the pitfalls of
vice are crowded
Second-We belong, because there
is disposition on the part of so many
church members to shirk and place
the burden on others consequently
the aroused and consecrated worker
for souls must organize, agitate and
cry aloud in behalf of the lost.
Third We belong, because, while
the evil of the liquor traffic is al
most universally acknowledged by the
churches, yet there are weapons
which must be welded against this
traffic before it is abolished, which
now cannot be freely advocated un-
der the auspices of the church W.T.
out dissension. The church -
clared that the legalized To- =
is sin and yet by their
sanction its perpetuation -
the protection of the govd
Foltrth-We belong, BED
w. G. T. u. wipes out denons nal
lines in Christian work against this
common foe to all, and realizes the
Savior's yrayer that "they all may be
one"
Fifth-We belong, because the
missionary work of all our churches
is handicapped in foreign countries
by the rum sent out from this and
other so-called Christian lands to the
natives whom our missionaries are
making every sacrifice to reach and
save; contracts are made with citizeus
of this country to send thousands of
gallons of rum per day to the Free
States of the Congo. Mrs. Mary Lea
witt, our first round the world mis-
sionary, found whole villages drunk
% rum sent from Christian England
]nited States, when she ar
her message of gospel puri-
Be. God have pity on US for
<pf these natives issvet prasl.
II De PMS message only few good
reasons have been limited at, why
Christian women should belong to the
w. C. T. U. Oh, women heed Gods
call to you! Join the Stanford w. C.
t. U. and in addition to your church
work, work for Him along the lines of
prohibition both in State and nation
1t is coming, the time for which we
pray. Well take the world for Christ
and temperance some glad day.

GRASPlNG At The SHADOW

No man-especially If he is mar
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands Take the earth and
give us peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot? .:
When all is said and done, Is not
the selection Of the butcher more i'm
portant to the home than the election
Of a mayor; is not the employment Of
the dairyman a far more important
event in the life Of the children than
the appointment of postmaster; is
not the selection Of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit Of woman
hood that. it is not, as q rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; it is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Nov lay me down to sleep"
that harangl1es the populace; it is not
the daughter who hopes to reign as
queen over a happy home that longs
for the uniform of the suffragette. It
is, as a rule, the woman who despises
her home, neglects her children and
5corns motherhood that leads parades
Rnd srnashes windows.
