IT'S SURPRISING

The Massachusetts Society for the
Suppression of Intemperance was or
gained in 1913. The American TEN
perance society was founded in 1929.
Thereafter organizations of various
kinds came thick and fast, many OF
them securing large memberships
Among them We're the Sons of Temper,

Rechabites 1S35), Society of the
Westinghouse 0S40) and Good Ten

In 1873 began the Woman's TEN,
perance crusade in Ohio. Women held
prayer meetings in saloons in this
campaign against alcohol. This move,
ment grew so strong that in 1874 in
Cleveland the National Woman's
Christian Temperance union was form
ed. The same year Francis Murphy's
Blue Ribbon Temperance mission at
tracted public attention.
John B. Cough.
Prohibition - or temperance - has
made many men and women famous;
probably some Of these foes of liquor
and the saloon will be remembered for
all time. Among the names familiar
to most Americans in this connection
are those of John B. Cough, Neal Dow
Frances E. Willard and Carrie Nation.
All four made their mark in widely
differing ways and the personality of
each is interesting.
John B. Cough attracted public tten,
ton first. He achieved worldwide
fame and furnishes a remarkable ex-
ample Of what in these days is called
a "come- back" He was born in Sand
gate, England, in 1917, and died in
Frankford, Pa, in 1885,
Quaker in Worcester, Mass, in
duced him to sign total abstinence
pledge. This was the turning point In
his career. He set out to tramp New
England, lecturing on temperance at
rs cents a lecture. He delivered 1856
lectures the nrSt year-and fOund hlm-
self locally famous. He mingled the
pathetic and humorous so successfully
and made his lecture so entertaining
that thousands who had no interest in
temperance went t hear him. For the
next II years he spoke only on temper
ance and addressed more than 5000
audiences, making two long temper
ance campaigns in England. He had
the power over an audience that
comes from experience, purpose and
narural eloquence. Robert ]. Ingersoll
at his best could sway an audience no
more completely than this reformed
bookbinder. Next Cough turned his
attention to general lecturing and
made fortune. His books have been
translated into many languages.

on the floor, where it was found the
next day, much the worse for wear
Anyway. Miss Willard took her
grievance TO the Prohibition party,
The Prohibition party offered the
nomination for president to st. John,
with William Daniel of Maryland for
vice president. st. John accepted the
nomination. He was an effective
speaker and campaigner and he went
out after blood-and especially Re
publican blood. He carried the war
into New York, considered doubt
full" state in the exciting struggle of
that campaign between James G.
Blaine and Grover Cleveland
st. John jumped the Prohibition vote
from 1896 votes to 150,626 votes.
What is more, he polled enough votes
in New York to defeat the "Plumed
Knight" in that state and, as it
turned out. in the nation. The feel
ing of the time is indicated by the
fact that st. John was burned in
effigy in more than 100 cities.

Many Societies to Fight Alcohol

History.
WOMEN ACTIVE AS leaders
John g. Cough, Reformed Drunkard,
First Crusader to Win Fame
by Success at Home and
Abroad.

When the movement which has now
brought about prohibition began in the
United States it was called the ITEM
perance movement" and the phrase
Temperance question" embraced all
the problems in connection with the
use and abuse of alcoholic drink. lem
perance, of course primarily means
moderation, while prohibition, as used
in this connection, means a form OF
sumptuary legislation abolishing the
manufacture and sale Of alcoholic Ii
quors. In the early days temperance
was loosely used; sometimes it meant
moderation and sometimes total absti-
nence Many of the first crusades were
against "spirits" liquors as
distinguished from wines and beer.
Early temperance pledges were often
fran al to draw this distinction, How
ever. the word temperance as used in
the titles and constitutions of reform
organizations soon came to mean total
abstinence.
This temperance movement, which
shows signs of bringing about prohibit
ton in many parts of the world, be-
gan in rhe United States. The tenn
perance pledge was in existence before
1906 Possibly the first temperance
society was organized by the farmers
of Lttchtield county, Connecticut, in
1879 In 1908 a society was formed in
Saratoga county, New York; the 43
members were pledged not to drink
rum, gin, whisky, wine or distilled

plars, an order of total abstainers or
ganized in 1851 at Utica, n. T., were
also working to this end.
u The call for the Chicago convention
originated May 30 1869, in the grand
lodge of the Good Templars at Oswe-
CO. N. Y, which appinted a committee
to convene national gathering to
organize a political party favorable to
prohibition legislation. This commit
tee consisted OF John Russell, Detroit,
Mich; Daniel Wilkins, Bloomington,
Ill. 81; J. A. Spencer, Cleveland, o.; John
n. Stearns, New York, and James
Black, Lancaster Pa. At this conven-
ton the party was organized, plat
form was adopted and Il national com
mittee was appointed, with John Rus
sell chairman.
The first national nominating con
vention assembled in Columbus, O., on
Washingtons birthday, 1872. it
named James Black for president and
john Russell for vice president Black
was one of the founders Of the Ma
tional Temperance Society and Pub
LEGATION house, an organizer of the IA
nous Ocean Grove (N j. Camp
Meeting association and a prominent
Good Templar. Upon his death in
1893 he left his temperance library"
of l 200 volumes to the National Tenn
of the Prohibition party" was a Meth
odist minister and a leading Good
Templar. His newspaper, the PENN
sular Herald, was the first to advocate
the formation of Il separate political
party for prohibition.
Notwithstanding the worthiness of
the cause and the candidates, the pub
lie support at the election of 1872 was
not enthusiastic. The total Of the
votes received by Black and Russell
was but 5,607.
In 1875 Green Clay Smith of Ken
lucky and Gideon T. Stewart of Ohio
were the candidates. They polled
9,737 votes In 1880 Neal Dow of
Maine, with H. A. Thompson of Ohio
as running mate, appealed to the
known as the author of the Maine pro
hibitIon law, but he succeeded in get
ting only 1896 votes
Candidates and Their Vote.
The Prohibition convention of 1896
split the party over woman suffrage
and money. The free silver" minor
lty formed Liberal party, with Bent
ley of Nebraska and Southgate of
Illinois as Its standard-bearers They
polled about 1900 votes.
The feature of the Prohibition cam
paign of 1900 was tour of the coun-
try by the candidates and a corps Of
speakers by special train. In 1912
the Prohibition convention renom-
mated the candidates of 1908. The
candidates since 1884 and their vote
are as follows:
1888, Clinton B. Fisk, New Jersey,
and J. A. Brooks, Missouri, 249,945
votes.
1892, John Bidwell California, and
]. b. Cranfill, Texas, 270,71O votes.
1896 Joshua lowering, Maryland,
and Hale Johnson, Illinois, 130,753
votes.
1900, John G. Woolley, Illinois, and
H. B. Metcalf Rhode Island, 2O9, 400
votes.
1904, S. G. Swallow, Pennsylvania,
and George B. Carroll, Texas, 25S,205
votes.
1908, Eugene w. Chain, Illinois, and
Aaron S. Watkins, Ohio, 253, 231 votes.

The National Prohibition marty
curiously enough, has been rather on
posed to prohibition by constitutional
amendment. In the last Year book
Q916) we read:
although the Prohibition partv
may be said to be committed by plat
form declaration to the adoption of q
national prohibition amendment, when
placed in power, the program of the
party has never contemplated agiia
ton for nonpartiSan amendment to
be enforced by administrations not ia
vOrable to prohibition. The
general opinion seems to favor admit
ting the desirability of the amendment
as the end to be accomplished, at the
same time emphasizing it's impracti-
cability as method. and denying its
necessity as a condition precedent TO
securing national prohibition.
The odds are so overwhelmingly
against the ratification of an amend
ment that they cannot possibly be
overcome through any reasonable ex-
penditure of time, money and effort so
long as the liquor traffic exists to fight
for it's life"
The National Prohibition party is
certainly right about the apparent
odds against the adoption by congress
its ratification by the states. There
have been 1,757 amendments to the
Constitution proposed and IS of them
have been passed. Herein lies the mar
vel of the ratification of the eighteenth
amendment in about thirteen months
1t has been figured that the chances
against the passing of an amendment
are 10 to 1. The case is put thus:
The chances against ratification are
to l in the house of representatives
and z to l in the senate, and. there
fore to l in congress. That is:
Should the measure pass either house
by unanimous vote the one-third OPP
position in the other house would
block 1t in congress as a whole; in
other words, the resolution must be
supported on the two chances in each
house, while if the opposition scores
on its one chance in either house the
fai
state legislatures are 6 to / against
the resolution; hence, In the congress
and the legislatures combined the
chances are 10 to / against passage.
In other words, the measure might
pass both houses Of congress unani-
mOusly, and be defeated as whole by
the one chance in the states Ii might
pass either house of congress and all
of the legislatures unanimously, and
be defeated by the one chance in the
other house of congress.

real stir In the political world. What
he did in the campaign OF 1884 was
long remembered. st. John was born
in Indiana and in the Civil war was
lieutenant-cOlonel of the One Hundred
and Forty-third regiment, Illinois vol-
unteers. He was twice elected gov
ernOr of Kansas on the Republican
ticket and was defeated for re-elec-
ton to this office in 1882 by anti-pro-
hibition Republicans, who thought him
too warm a friend of the temperance
cause.

petition to the Republican national
convention, urging consideration for
