W. C. T. U.
In all W. C. T. U. organizations ,
almost without exception , are
found one or more goody , goody
individuals who feel satisfied to
belong , so long as the union poses
as a mutual admiration society ;
but as soon as it begins to count
.for something in the way of activ
ity against the lawless and devas
tating influence of the saloon ( the
prime object of the union ) they
are ready to withdraw or to try to
make excuses for ' - be
cause "of the way some do. "
Poor little weaklings. They are
to.be pitied.
IE the letter in last week's Re
publican was written by a member
of the Valentine union , she cer
tainly was a member who did not
know much about the afi'airs of the
society. And does she think her
little squib " 'clears her,3' so to
speak , when her name is blank ?
She speaks for the majority ? Who
are they ? All who attended the
meetings stood in a body by what
was done.She refers to a pre
judiced feeling. We wonder what
about. And we think ' 'prejudice"
is too small to bother with.
The women had no part in a
caucus. The Home Protection
club was our attraction. When
the caucus was called we walked
oub and gave the room over to the
voters. But the Womans Chris
tian Temperance Union is first ,
last and always for the side that
counts for law enforcement and
righteousness.
When editors voluntarily come
but on the side of right , naturally
the temperance people will patron
ize them , and we , no more than
our good sisters at Wood Lake ,
could foretell that the Republi
can's "local contemporary" would
disappoint us by signing saloon
petitions. We were not to blame
for this , but we do give him credit
for giving , without grudge or
questioning , space to annouce and
report the meetings held here last
December that resulted in a halt
in the excessive violation of the
law , while The Republican could
not so much as make our announce
ment without heading it "Queer
Things" and writing a little pre
lude to suit his fancy. Editors
are human , however , and prone to
mane mistakes and we are willing
to deal gently with him and hope
for a greater future for the press.
Oh , for a fearless out and out tem
perance press in Valentine ! What j
would be considered the "bounds
' of reason" indeed ! To write pret-
*
" \ *
* - -
> v * - - - - - , , ,
ty little articles that wrtuld not
make a stir ; to meet time after
time as a union in a nice , .socia
way , wink at the lawlessness of the
saloons , know knothing of the violation
lation of the law and let the saloon
spread itself "like a green bay
tree , " and for us to sit passively
under its shadows without a mur
mur or complaint , would be con-
s'ldered reasonable and Christian
by those who do not like the "way
some do. " Away with such de
lusions. "Fanatical ones. " God
bless them , they WILL accomplish
great results in the name of the
Master. All people who ever did
anything to bring about reforms
were termed fanatics. Even our
blessed Lord and Master went about
doing good and was ridiculed and
persecuted on every side. Should
not we ?
Who ever intimated tlut we hold
oar union , or anyone in it , to be
"sin proof ? " Somebody's foot
feels badly pinched or there would
not be such a squeal. We do not
spurn to be counseled by those
who arc right with their Creator.
And we have the assurance within
ourselves that we were guided by
a higher power than human. In
the days of the crusade , moral
suasion and prayer were effectual.
Why did it not last ? And why
was the saloon not abolished ? The
old crusaders , still living , would
/tell us the day of moral suasion is
passed. Prayers in the closet for
strength to go on the firing line to
fight the liquor traflic with the law
is the crusade that is sweeping over
the land at the present time.
What part did the union have
in the recent city election in Val
entine ? To ring the church b3ll
and to pray for victory. If our
vote could have accompanied our
prayer , what then ?
Our time will come by and by ,
but as one has said , a ' "seeming
defeat is sometimes the greatest
victory. " We are not discourage -
e J , and we call on every white rib-
boner in the county to be not dis
couraged , but to press on. "Dare
to be a Daniel , loyal brave and
true , " and we will win out in the
end for the warfare against the
liquor traffic is the Lord's , and
right will trample 'over wrong.
"Remember Lot's wife. " Do not
burn back. COMMITTEE.
Not all people who proclaim that
"honesty is the best policy" are
particulai to adhere to the maxim
very closely when occasion to do a
mean act on the sly presents itself.
It is not probable that any mem
ber of the town bward , new or old ,
did not know that a remonstrance
was being circulated , and one even
gave his promise to notify when a
meeting would be called , at which
time the remonstrances were to be
filed. But at an untimely hour
and not on a regular meeting
night , without giving any notice ,
the town board met , swore in the
new members and granted licenses
to petitioners whom they know ,
without being remonstrated , are
not qualified to run a saloon , since
it is evident to the whole town
they have been violating the SIo-
cum law right along from year to
year and are under arrest at the
present time , one having been con
victed during the last term of
court. What an outlook for Val
entine if something does not trau-
spire'to counteract such a proced
ure. Those who are laboring to
establish enforcement of law , will
"not give up but against all odds ,
by the help of God , will use every
measure possible to bring about a
better state of affairs.

anything you choose milk for instance or alone.
At every meal or for a munch between meals , when
you feel the need of an appetizing bite to fill up a vacant
corner , in the morning when you wake hungry , or at
night just before going to bed. Soda crackers are so
light and easily digested that they make a perfect food at
times when you could not think of eating anything else.
But as in all other things , there is a difference in sod
crackers , the superlative being
a soda cracker so scientifically baked that all the nutri
tive qualities of the wheat are retained and developed
a soda cracker in which all the original goodness is
preserved for you.
