Two Wrongs Will End and Make
Two Rights
Whiskey Is Going Into Its Grave, and Justice for
Women Is Coming to Life

To make crusade effective, you must talk about il,
and write about it and fight for it until everybody is sick
and tired of the subject
Then YOU must 90 on talking writing and fighting until
people begin forget where they first heard and say
THAT is my idea, have been saying 1t for long time
This writer has published more than five hundred edi
to against whskey and at least as many in favor OF
woman suffrage.
And Others have done the same thing for twenty years
past and earlier And at last whiskey is its last legs
where has put many drunkard and whskey going to
follow into the grave the hundreds Of millions that has
sent to the grave
And justice for women, the right to vote is born and
viii live as long as this and other civilized nations shall
endure. s~e aas a,.s
ought not to be necessary has been necessary
to present the picture this page hundreds OF ways In
hundreds of ,tiresome arguments and sermons.
It does not credible but it is fact that the Gov
eminent of the United States has been in partnership with
s sk T aosOG S So1usGg 50 muon
is fact that millions of women have suffered under
unjust laws millions of have been the victims of
the whiskey sellers their children hungry their lives miser
able and they have seen the husband go
out vote in favor Of whkey-whe the mother home
had vote and told that all she needed was MAN
kind protection" 20 -.
incredible but is fact that the Senate of
the United States recently voted against the proposition
that the Constitution should free white women had
previously freed black men.
strong majority of the Senators to their honor be it
said voted for the Constitutional Amendment But the
minority big enough to defeat it, in spite of the most
urgent moving appeal that the President has ever made in
a speech to Congress
This picture shows you what civilization" has
BEEN whskey voting at the top and suffering pow
ery, helpless at the bottom of the social structure
Any that could walk to the polls could vote no
matter how drunk and he could vote and he did vote for
whiskey t...'. :. .r..
Any man could pawn the shoes belonging to his chill
dren or take the last dollar earned by his wife and use it
to buy whskeyand the Government took its percentage
And only recently it decided that whiskey might
stu be sold and men might still be poisoned and women be
made miserable and children poor and hungry BECAUSEI
THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS THE MONEY
Reform is slow, especially when it nterferes with vice
profit and selfishness.
But reforms do come. And the two WRONGS in this
picture are to be made two RIGHTS
The Government will give up its partnership with whs
key after the first Of next July and longer license men
poison citizens
And this country will give the women the right to
share In the making Of laws that control them.
This is due primarily to the noble women of the countrv
who have endured humiliation rdicule and brutality for
generations pleading for justice and due to the adyocate
OF temperance that were beed and laughed at and that
triumph.
It pays to fight the side of right and Justice No
such fight ever lost.
Whiskey is dying and justice to women coming to life
