JWitk ready acquiescence, Mr, Dow' called to see the saloon keeper! and made the request. T|te man said that he had a license .to <All. that he should do so, and'that he did not care to have Mr. Dow "whining around" his place of business. Speaking of the occurrence, Neal Dow »i!d; “Surprised, disappoint ed, ir(’ nant, I replied to’the effect that sooner or later I would aee that he and all like him 1 were driven from the community unless they abandoned their Infamous business. The Incident affected me with vital force. As I reflected upon It as only one of tho thousands of cases Into which It might be multiplied, with a product of misery to so many helpless women and Innocent chil dren, I became more strongly con vinced that my duty waa clear. I resolved to try and discharge It. From that day I have followed It with such strength of body, m|nd and purpose as God has given to me.” As a speaker and worker In the temperance cause, Mr. Dow was as well known in England as In United States, for he spent three years In Great Britain, where he performed a large amount of labor, wholly without compensation. In 1894, when General Dow had reached the ago of ninety years, the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union conceived the Idea of honor ing him by holding great raeetlngi all over the world. The anniversary of his birth, March 20, at the sug gestion lot Frances Willard, was adopted by the National W. C. T. U. as Prohibition Day.
