'ON THE CORNER"
Ed. Roman, with Mrs. Lhase as ac
companist. Mrs. A. J. Ueeson gave an
entertaining, humorous reading. The
president announced that of the f;;
charter members of 1S74. only 3 were
living. The names of thee i charter
members are as follows: Mrs. Alpha
Conn Mitchell. Omaha; Mrs. Way-
bright, Los Angeles. Cal.: Mrs. Flora j
Wise. Kansas City; Mrs. Sarah
McElwain. Plattsmouth; Mrs. Laura
Davis Petersen, Plattsmouth.
Letters were read from absent
charter members and the two living
in Plattsmouth were called upon to
tell some of the experiences of the
W. C. T. V. in 1S74. The president
then introduced Miss Olive Gass. who
had been askfd to give the story of
the ,r.O years f.f W. (.. T. l work in
Plattsmouth.
Extracts from this review are giv
en below.
"It is a pleasure and a privilege to ,
bring to you on this r0th anniversary j
of the work in Plattsmouth. some of
the many items of interest found in
my reading of the minutes, begin
ning with the secretary's book of
1S74. yellow and musty with age, on
up through the years to the spick and
span secretary's books of lit 24.
"I approach this work with rever
ence, as of one treading on holy
ground, when I reflect that only
5 of the f:' charter members, of
1S74 are living today. Hut the work
of these 53 charter members was a
most important one. They built so
firm a foundation for the W. C. T.
V.. in those first years, that the
women, who succeeded them for the
past 5 years, are still building upon
it. The work they did represents j
the mature judgement of some of the j
brightest minds among Plattsmouth ,
women of 1S74.
"On March 17. 1S71. this union
was organized. March 17th is St.
Patricks day. and being partly Irish,
myself, I was struch with the coinci
dence of the organization upon that
day. For. didn't St. Patrick drive
the snakes out of Ireland? And
didn't these dear women figure that
if they could drive intoxicating
liquor out of America, the "snakes"
would vanish of their own volition?
"At the second meeting of this
union, it was decided to send a print
ed appeal to the saloon-keepers. This
appeal was first circulated among all
women of Plattsmouth to secure
; their signatures. About 3uo women
signed this appeal. It was then print
j ed and copies carried to the saloon
keepers by a committee. A part cf
the appeal was as follows:
" We come directly to you with
our humble and earnest petition.
entreating you by all that is sacred
and noble, not to sell intoxicating
liquors in our city. Many of our
neighbors and friends have already
been called by the Destroyer. We
ask you to. at once and forever, quit
this terrible business.'
"As we read the minutes of meet
ings through many years, we see that
these women had much unpleasant
and discouraging work to do. For
instance, we read of committees ap
pointed to see if the saloon keepers
had licenses, also to try to raise the
licenses and reduce the number of
saloons, to appeal to bondsmen and
owners of ' public buildings to aid
in preventing the renewal of licenses.
Committees were sent to the Council
to ask assistance in closing gambling
houses, other committees had to look
after the conduct of the beergardens.
and so-called Temperance halls.
"All of these committees for moral
suasion, protests and appeals, tell us
how helpless women were in the
early days. The law permitted the
very things they were trying to
abolish..
"The women had no vote, there
fore they were obliged to beg and
protest, with no authority or influ
ence back of their demands.
"We women of today, realize what
a humilating condition this was. and
how hard their lot compared to that
of the enfranchised woman of 1924.
I wonder if these early workers had
a vision of Plattsmouth and Xebras
ka and the United States without a
legalized saloon. Would that they
were with us today to help celebrate
our victories.
" 'Today, the voice of battle.
The next, the Victor's Song.'
"In this first year, 1S74, we find
that Mrs. B. Spurlock (a charter
member) had the honor of being the
first delegate to the state convention,
also later she was the first delegate
sent to a national convention, held
at Cincinnati. The name of Mrs.
C. E. Wescott. altho not a charter
member, appears early and often
throughout the years, and she was
an active ana laiiniui memner as
long as six was a. resident of PlattB-
mouth
the past 6 years the W. C. T. I", has
been fortunate in having, for presi
dent, Mrs. Julia Troop, whose cour
age, capability and tenacity of pur
pose have been an inspiration to the
members.
"In passing. I would say that
previous to accepting the presidency.
Mrs. roop was treasurer for l' yean,,
making 1G years of uninterrupted
service up to the present time.
"The W. C. T. I". officers of l:24
are as follows:
Pres.. Mrs. Julia Troop.
Roc. Sec v.. Mrs. Walter Jropst.
Cor. Secy.. Mrs. J. E. Wiles.
Treas.. Miss Elizabeth Spangler.
"The following are the depart
ments organized at present m our

Julia Troop.

"Resides the work of these de

strumental in doing away with slot
machines, assisted in securing i
o'clock closing of business houses,
and they pay for subscriptions for
copies of 'Lnion signal anu loung
Crusaders." to be sent to the public
library.
"Our union paid 100 toward
maintaining Willard Hall in Chicago.
for Xational Jubilee Drive. ?2;'
for the Willard Home for Workin:
Girls in Omaha and assisted in 'tii.
purchase of headquarters for Y. C.
T. l at Lincoln.
"Thus closes this short review of
the auth anniversary of the Platts
mouth W. C. T. F. What progress
may we expect in the next 5' yeais?
May we not look for permanent
World Peace and World Temper
ance? "Probably none of us members
who are here today, will be living
when the next half century of the
Plattsmouth W. C. T. U. is cele
brated. Therefore, "during our little
span of life, may we build strong
and sure into this mightl structure
of Temperance which is being erect
ed 'For God and Home and Native
Land.' "
At the close of the review by
Miss Gass. the president introduced
Rev. Iva M. Inn is of Eagle. Mrs.
Innis gave an inspiring address and
her enthusiasm was communicated
to her hearers. She dwelt especially
on the need of young mothers in the
W. C. T. r. and of the mutual help
to be given and received.
At the close of her forceful address
an elaborate luncheon was served
which brought to a close a most
pleasant and successful celebration.

SPEAKS AT METHODIST CHUECH
From Monday's Dally
Yesterday the congregation of the
Methodist church had the opportun
ity of hearing Mrs. John Calvert,
formerly of this city, who was here
for both the morning and evening
services in the interests of the home
missions of the church and which
was the topic of her address in the
morning before the members of the
congregation. At the evening ser
vice. Mrs. Calvert spoke on Mother's
Jewels, touching on the home at
York that is maintained by the home
missionary society of the church.
MVs. Calvert is matron at the home
and has had a great opportunity of
personal touch with the children
who are being cared for there by the
church and missionary society and
reared to be good men and women
and worthy citizens of this great na
tion. The two addresses were very
pleasing and instructive and gave j
the congregations a close insight in
to the work of the home missionary
society and the good that they are
accomplishing in their fields of labor ,
over the nation.

SEWER NEARING COMPLETION
From Monday's Daily
The extension of the storm sewer
along Webster boulevard through th
Masonic Home property is now bei;;
rapidly completed as the F. L. Eusche
Co., of Omaha. whi h has the con
tract yesterday finished the placing
of the r.fij feet of the sewer pipe
and have only the additional "o feet
to lay before the sewer is all ready
for the filling and will be in readi
ness to tare for the water that may
come down from the hills in the
spring rains. The Masonic Home
association as soon as the sewer is
in place will be able to go ahead with
their landscape plans and create a
sunken garden along the valley
where the former open creek ran
and which will make a very attrac
tive fronting t: the new infirmary
building that will be all ready for
use in the coming spring. The plac
ing of the sewer eliminates a veiy
