Mrs. J. J. Vance, waa read by Mrs
Wm. Bignell, representing the W. C.
T. IJ., at the reception tendered R.
C. and Miss Mabel Young, trnd Mrs.
M. K Bernhardt and son and daugh
ter, Webster and Anna, at the M,
E. church in Alliance, Wednesday
evening, March 19th:
All things must change,
From something new to
strange
Thus said the poet
past.
And the truth remains
doth last.
We find new friends, they become
tried and true:
Then earth's changing duties take
them from our view.
But the days of comradeship, al
though no more,
Still linger pleasantly in memory s
store.
W. C. T. U. fellowship encircles the
World;
In all lands our white flag Is un
furled.
We work loyally together, united In
heart.
Although unite frequently miles
apart.
In local endeavors we strive hand in
hand,
Each helping the other, firmly we
stand.
Our place in the ranks we often ex
change;
But there's always a welcome in lo
calltles strange.
We surely will miss those who leave
us today.
Most faithful to duty they have been
alway.
Our loss will, however, be some
body's gain,
For they'll prove just as faithful
wheree'r they remain
We are glad that Miss Young wilt
stay In our state;
Nebraska White-Rlbboners all claim
her, we here can relate.
One of our State Workers, she Is
known far and near;
Each union in Nebraska holds her
quite dear.
Hastings will give her a welcome
most glad,
Though her leaving Alliance makes
us feel quite sad.
She will prove to them Just as loyal
and true.
Doing each day 'vhat her hands find
to do.
Mrs. Bernhardt is going to that state
far away
Where women are citizens, I'm glad
now to say.
When that tall son of hers goes to
cast his first vote
She can sail along with him in the
very same boat.

Nothing else will take the place of

surance the people have of their
personal integrity for how often It
happens, a man is known for years

proves that he was only waiting for

have a chromo (I don't smoke) for

sume, then, the people want those

those most efficient, rather than
those who have rendered the most t
efficient service to the party. What,
then, is the inevitable conclusion
but this: The candidates should
submit to some form of examination.
Can not this be had under the civil

democratic candidates. Or there
may be unofficial examinations as
