BIG STEAMERS COLLIDE
Men want the earth but women nrd
satisfied with a honeymoon
The Perfect Home
For somethin tlmt abode endued
With temple-like t'eitoso an air
Of lit o’b kind purposes pursued
With order'd freedom sweet and fair
A tent pitch'd in a world not right
It seem'd Whose Inmates every one
On tianqull faces bote the light
Of duties beautifully done
And humbly though they had few peers
Kept their own laws which seem'd to
ho
J’he fair sum of six thousand years'
Traditions of civility
—Coventry Patmore
Flower of Temperance Chivalry
Why great men appear on the stage
of action no ore knows only God
wills it But when the world is to
be set right an Alfred the Great or
a Charlemange appears to bring or-
der out of chaos When an oppressed
people cry out for redress a true pat-
riot stalks upon the stage of action
in the heroic person of Bolivar Tous-
saint Washington Lincoln When
the new element of womanhood was
to he Introduced into a struggle
against a giant evil Frances Willard
more than any other became the em-
bodiment of Christ's grace and wo-
man's love 'and' laith These elements
did not appear in the struggle against
intemperance until 1874 when all oth-
er forces had been tried and had
failed - Every nation had thus far
been conquered by drink and the
victorious foe ever all nations and
all civilizations had assailed this
strong young republic had challenged
it had sought to cover it with the
winding-sheet of disgrace and ob-
livion and to bury it in the bene-
yard of nations which had already
trodden the wine'-press of the wrath
-of God"
A general must he found who
could create and drill ad army to
bring intellectual and spiritual
dynamics to bear against wrong so-
cial customs and bad laws national
and local’ That’ general was found
in the person of Frances E Willard
To-day the spontaniety of the cru-
sade has crystalized into' an ideal
organization whose chief -characteristics
are simplicity and unity
Three hundred thousand women
and 200000 children in our own coun-
try take its pledge and march under
its banners and 10000 unions dpt our
towns and villages Millions of pages
of literature are distributed every
year -and the activities of the W C
T U are felt in the home the church
of the government The W C T U
’was the pioneer in mother’s meet-
ings Through" its efforts thousands
of girls have been rescued from lives
of shame and tens of thousands of
men have signed the total abstinence
pledge an£ have been redeemed from
inebriety Through its influence the
age of protection for girls has been
raised in every state but two and
the rights of women and children un-
der the law have come to be mpre"
justly recognized To-day this organ-
ization ia a factor to be reckoned
with in all things pertaining to the
happiness and welfare of the people
To crystalize the work into depart-
ments so inclusive as to cover al-
most all human endeavor for the ele-
vation of mankind and yet so weld-
ed together that any or all of them
could be brought to bear upon the
enemy at any given point at any
given time required the brain of a
statesman and that brain was found
in Frances E Willard The states-’
woman to organize the "general to
lead the philanthropist to love — all
were found in Frances E Willard
She proved too wise to precipitate a
reign of terror in hasty pursuit or
the good too void of selfish ambition
to lead an army to Moscow for glory
too much influented by the spirit of
Christ to be daunted by - personal
criticism or -attacks by-friend or foe
Next to her-mother and her home
at Evanston Frances E Willard had
her abiding place" in the hearts of
white ribboners They were to her
always in her own language “Our
folks” and her home festivals were
mostly where -they gathered to-
gether And if we follow her as she fol-
lowed Christ we shall have this in-
scribed upon our banners: “Conqyer

mary on the consumption of spirits
wine and beer which throws light
upon the bibulous habits of the lead-

these drinks but with respect' to the
per capita consumption Americans are
abstemious when compared with the
iLhabitants'of certain European coun-
tries and this notwithstanding the
presence in the United States of many
foreigners who are accustomed to a
more 'gQnercus use of beer and wine

Temperance Propaganda in Germany''
“Germany has passed the first stage
of the reform — that of moderation
Abstinence - Is the general cry and
with a leaning toward legislation both
remedial and preventive! At the pres-
ent swift rate the reform may have
complete prohibition for its watch-
word in ten more years” says United
States Consul Diedrich at Bremen in
a report on the temperance movement
among the Germans
“The Imperial Health Office at Ber-
lin is sending out elaborate literature
against the use of alcohol as a beve
rage ’Count Douglas the brother-in-law
of the Emperor is one of the fore
most temperance reformers in the
country and day after day the jour-
nal' of the Imperial Parliament has
contained pages of his arguments
against drink 'Leading "lights in Gen'
man universities are also leaders in
the new reform” -
'An article in a Berlin paper review-
ing recent German publications on the
drink question says: -
“Considering the newness of the
propaganda in the Fatherland the out-
put is enormous There is a total of
871 books printed in the German lan-
guage dealing with the 'temperance
question by 413 different authors and
practically all published since the year
1880 the greater portion since 1890
There are thirty-seven ' newspapers
magazines arid annuals in German de-
vqted to the temperance question
“The temperance' reformation in
Germany has had such a recent be-
ginning and the supposed German re-
pugnance to total abstinence is so well
grounded it is really difficult to com-
prehend the full meaning of this vast
array of literature in the ’ German
tongue The evidence is clear that the
people of Germany have taken up the
alcohol question with an energy ex-
celled by no other people on the face
of the earth ' The blue cross has
spread all over the Empire”
Saloon as Cause of CrimeT -'
About 95'per cent of the wife beat-
ing and nearly as large a percentage
of all the “deviltry” that is so con-
spicuous nowadays are the result of
intoxication f6r which the saloon Is
almost entirely responsible Mr Ray-
burn’s statement in the Battle Ground
is right
Fevy individuals who have left with-
in them a spark of tnie manhood
would deliberately drink themselves
into a condition of bestiality such as
must exist before they would attack a
froman yet many cannot resist the
temptations offered in the saloon
where hilarious comrades are drinking
and treating xlt is a fatal weakness
with some that they never can say
“o” to an Invitation to Imbibe and
it is frequently the case that the sa-
loon has solicitors who pose as per-
sonal friends of Its patrons to lure
them into excessive drinking
If the saloon were wiped out of ex-
istence such crimes as wife beating
would be diminished by at least 75 per
cent I do not like some others be-
lieve the millennium would come at
oree with the eradication of the
loon but I do believe that there 'inuld
be a vast diminution in ail marner of
crime in vsfr'oh perioral vfohmro is
