ESSAY
W. C. T. U. NOTES.
It is not reasonable to expect a
stream of water to be clear anil clean
when we are tokl that at the head
o the fountain there i piled
rubbish, trash, and that is corrupt and
defiling. Neither can we expect pure
and wholesome laws when at our
nation's capltol there are men of im
pure morals. Men who sanction those
things which pertain to the nation's
downfall. We must first make the
fountain pure, than all will become so.
"Our temperance friends must turn
a new leaf: we also must nationalize
ourselves; the laws in regard to liquors
being essentially national, we must
meet our wllv enemies in the natfoual
halls of Congress, not by petitions or
othet like nonsense. The enemy eares
nothing for such "foolery" as he ealls
it, and ne7er did. We must be pre
pared to cope wilh the now powerful
liquor intertst by theirowu methods.the
votes of Congressmen, which are to be
obtained by fhe votes "of those who
send them to congress." Horace tfree
ley. Some politicians and some news
papers have been so thoughtless as to
charge the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union with being the bond-servant
of a political party because it has
sunnorted Prohibition candidates in
past campaigns. It would'be quite as
proper to charge u reputable citizen
wilh being the blind tool of a political
party because he has given public ut
terance to his preference for that party.
What of the work of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Uulou in politics?
If that organization were not the foe
of the saloon it would be but a sham
and its name would be full of deceit.
It was born in the midst of a woiuau's
war on dramshops. During the period
of its exlsteuce It has petitioned many
legislatures for laws opposing the sale
of liquor. It has met with countless
rebuffs and at all times with scant
courtesy. It has seen that saloon
keepers, and not women are powerful
in politics. The Woman's Christiau
Temperance Union is greater and purer
than any political party. The man
who sneers at it or derides Us work
either does not know whereof bespeaks
or else is inspired by motives which
are not to his credit.
The Bible says: "Woe unto him that
glveth his neighbor driuk." The law
says, ' That's so, hut you may do it
without sin if you will pay a uertalu
price for the privilege." And the law
carries couvlctiou to the crowd every
where and everytime, because it repre
sents the idea of blue coats, brass
buttons aud locust cudgels. That is
the kind of logic that even the dullest
wits can understand.
What is temperance? The answers
to this question are numerous A
saloonkeeper once told us that he "vas
a demperance man himelf," and in
vited us to take a glass of beer with
him; and a prominent clergyman once
assured us that he was a strictly tem
perance man, but lie had wine on the
table and used it Both these men
were honest in their views, and temper
ance with them simply meant a temper
ate use of liquor. Hut nowadays the
word has a different meaning; it is
generally understood as meauiug total
abatineuce So when we speak of
temperance we mean abstaining from
alcoholic liquors in every form; and a
society which teaches aud practices
this principle is doing a work of in
calculable good to tiie race.
