a me Demorest to say a word of en
couragement to us. Will she kind¬
ly consent to speak ?”
Madame Demorest came upon
the platform amid a storm of ap¬
plause and spoke partly as follows:
MADAME DEMOREST’S SPEECH.
“Mr. President, ladies and gr¬
tlemen : I am not at all accust oined
to public speaking",but I feel bound
to make some personal acknowl¬
edgement of your rpost cordial
greeting on our arrival among you,
and also to say that we are honored
greatly “in your taking our name
for this beautiful city among the
mountains. We are delighted be¬
yond expression to see how thor¬
oughly you have laid out and built
up in so short a time an attractive
city of homes where foundations
are well laid for education and mor¬
al training that will keep all in
harmony with the progressive lines
on which you began here by the
prohibition of tiic liquor traffic.
But you must go on and remember
that a prohibition party in power
can make permanent what you wish
in this matter-—voting as you talk
and pray for the extermination of
this evil is the only .way to insure
the cause.
“It seems a shame for church
members to support the drink traf¬
fic. We must, I suppose, admit a
degree of Christianity among such
members as cast the same ballot as
the brewer and the distiller, but
they count alike and one must be
ns good as-the other, no'better; no
worse; yet the -“good” man has
lost his vote (if he had good inten¬
tions) while the dealer is still sell¬
ing the poison by permission of
such ballots.
“The people, the church and the
national government are responsi¬
ble for the rule of the saloon in
politics, and not the paltry number
200,000 dealers directly in the traf¬
fic. In f86i.our government sent
commissions abroad to learn what
other nations got in the way of rev¬
enue from the liquor traffic and in
the following # year the government
itself went into the liquor business,
giving its protection, national and
state, till it has grown a menace to
evory other interest.
“Since 1862 a government offi#
cer locks the door of every brew¬
ery and of every distillery In the
United States, and unlocks them,
because the reputed owner cannot
be trusted to control hi# own prem¬
ises and pay what is agreed upon
to the government.
' “It is a law defying as well as
destroying traffic.
“If the mothers of this country
could be counted by their ballots
this evil would be a thing of the
post. '

matter, politically. Neither father

A PROHIBITION ADVOCATE.
Brief Sketch of W. Jennings Demorest
"r ■»_______ i. ( ^ u,
One of the most prominent and
enthusiastic leaders in the cause of
Prohibition is W, Jennings Dem¬
urest, whose portrait appears in
this issue. Mr. Demorest is also
widely known as the publisher of
Demorest’s Monthly and after an
active and successful business career
of many years'he now devotes his
zeal, energy and earnestness to the
ceaseless struggle Against intemper¬
ance and a determined effort to ex¬
terminate the evil.
Born in the city of New York,
June 10, 18*2,he received his early
education in the public schools.
He was fortunate in possessing a
mother of strong religious feelings,
Whose habits of piety, thrift and
industry influenced his character
for good and whose memory he re¬
veres and cherishes. Entering
upon business life, at twenty years
of age, Mr. Demorest devoted his
spare hours to those studies not
covered in his course at school. A
strong predilection towards the
ministry was only abandoned by
reason of-the requirements of bus¬
iness on his time.
Mr. Demorest’s first venture in
the field of journalism was under¬
taken in i860, when in co-operation
with his wife, Madame Demorest,
a lady of rare intelligence and amia¬
bility, he issued the Demorest’s
Monthly Magazine, the name of
which has become a household
word. His publishing interests
became so large and extended tha
he was finuily solicited to join as
an equal partner the firm of J.. J.
Little & Co., one of the largest
publishing houses in this country.
His sagacious foresight as to the
removal of business interests up
town made him the first to open an
establishment on Fourteenth street,
west of University Place, and he
now owns many of the principal
business houses in that thorough¬
fare . His increasing business cares
were committed to his two sons
several years ago, leaving him free
to engage in his advocacy of Pro¬
hibition.
Mr. Demorest’s labors in the
cause of temperance have been un¬
measured and increasing. He has
given liberally of his time and
means contributed by voice and pen
to the dissemination of the doctrine
of Prohibition. In the late guber¬
natorial contest in New York he ac¬
cepted the nomination for Lieuten¬
ant Governor and polled the largest
vote ever received by any candidate
of the Prohibitionists in New York
State. He contributed largely in
response to the appeal for funds to
further Prohibition in the South in
the Fall of 1884, and in the cam¬
paign of 1885-*86. When the
Lecture Bureau was proposed for
spreading annuntin. frlin the itnMrinM doctrines nf of tlw the now.* new
party, the measure received the
hearty support of Mr. Demorest
and he was unanimously elected
president and treasurer. In ac

A Card from Dr. William s.
I wish to announce to my practice patrons
I .haw disposed of my
and property in Demorest to Dr.
A. E Zcitler of Florence, N. J.,
who will succeed me in the prac¬
tice of Medicine and surgery, I
have been compelled to do business this on
account of ill health. My
has increased from year to year un
til much of the time I have not been
able to do justice to my patents lim¬ or
myself. I have endeavored to
it my business as much as possible,
but I find that a difficult matter in
general practice. considera¬
So, after thoughtful
tion I have concluded to do as above
stated.
Three years active service with
the people of Demorest and vicinity
has endeared very many of them to
me, and it is with reluctance that I
bid them adieu as a family physi¬
cian. I thank you all most sincerely
for your generous support.
Wherever I may go I shall never
hope to find better patrons, kinder
friends.
My successor, Dr. Zeitler, is I be¬
lieve, a gentleman, a practitioner of
large experience and claims superi¬
or skill in midwifery.
I can conscientiously recommend
him to all my old patrons and
friends.
