SALT LAKE CITY LADY AO-
DRESSES ALTUS CITIZENS
Mrs. Lula L. Shepherd, of Salt
Lake City, Utah, addressed a large
audience on the southeast corner of
the Court House square, at three
o'clock Saturday afternoon under the
auspices of the W. C. T. U. A num-
ber of ladies joined in singing "The
Fight is On—Stand up for Jesus."
The speaker was Introduced by Rev.
C. A. Pollock, in a speech of a few
words. Mrs. Shepherd is recently
Oregon, where there is a fight on
equal to the one in Oklahoma.
The speaker began by saying that
this was net her first experience In
street meetings, and she assured the
audience that she would not be a
man if she could for men have more
responsibility on their shoulders
than she would want oa hero. She
Texas has survived four extra ses-
sions of its legislature within the past
two years. This clearly entitles Texas
to a Carnegie hero medal.
further stated that it was a woman's
place to cook three meals a day and
man's place to do the financing, "ft
is reported," she said, "that Oklaho-
ma is taxed to the limit, but if sa-
loons are admitted they will be
beyond the limit When the citizen*
of this U. S. adopted the constitu-
tion, they surrendered their claim to
personal liberty.
'It Luther Burbank, the vegetabla
wizard of the Pacific Coast could
devise a way to utilise the spur of
cactus, to strengthen the backbone
of the men of today, he would be
a great benefactor.
"Let us reform the saloon," the sa-
loon can not be reformed and never
will be. Don't you think you can
regulate the saloon? Did you ever
try to regulate a mad dog? Ninty-five
per cent of the saloon-keeper* vio-
late the law. Is it the liquor dealer*
that are violating the law? You
won't have blind tigers or blind pigs
unless you have blind officers. They
are the blind pigs in Utah, where
there is license."
The speaker displayed a copy of
the proposed amendment and discuss-
ed it at some length.
