On Road to Better Conditions.

business men want a dry America
A majority of women want a dry
America. They have it, without any
thing like complete enforcement of
the law, of course, and, as viscount
Aston believes, they will keep it.
These facts being facts, what is
the measure of the patriotism of those
who strive constantly to promote con-
tempt for enforcement, and for en-
forcers?
America seems to be, despite the
whisky lobby and daily efforts of a
few conspicuous American newspa-
pers to belittle enforcement, on the
road to better conditions.-Louisvill
Times.
Margaret B. Plat writes in The
Union Signal as follows: We need
not wonder at the vast increase in
crime in our country nor should we
be surprised at the lawlessness of
youth, when obedience is not taught
and maintained in the homes. When
children and young people see parents
and friends of mature age flout the
law and disobey any local, state, or
national ordinance or statute that
does not suit their personal ideas or
convenience, what incentive is there
for the youth to do differently? A
mother kindly reproving her son for
some infringement of law is in too
many cases met by the answer, "Well
daddy does it," A father reproaching
his daughter for some infringement
of the code ofstrue womanliness may
be most effectually silenced by the
reply, well, mother does it!"
Abraham Lincoln said: LET. rev.
erence for the laws be breathed by
every American mother to the lisping
babe that prattles On her lap; let it be
taught in schools, in seminaries, and
in colleges; let it be written in pri-
mers, spelling-books, and almanacs;
let it be preached from the pulpit,
proclaimed in the legislative halls,
and enforced in courts of justice. In
short, let it become the political re-
ligion of the nation"
Tom had been cutting up and his
mother exclaimed YEARLY: "Why
can't you be good boy?"
well, mother, I'll be good for
nickel"
Mother: For shame, you ought to
be like your father, good for nothing"
The task before the men and women
of the United States is to talk en-
forcement of the prohibition law and
help create sentiment for it and elect
men who stand for enforcement.
A meeting of the local w. C. T. U.
will be held in the school building,
Wednesday evening, April goth, at 8

Anti-Saloon League speaker, will ad-
dress this meeting. Mrs Norton of
Pine City,. district president of the
w. c.. T. u, has been invited to speak.
The public is invited.
If you believe in prohibition and
want the law enforced say so and
not repeat the wet propaganda that
the law cannot be enforced.
