TALKS ON TEMPERANCE.
Handed in by Mrs. Roy Ponder.
The workingmen is coming to
see with a clear vision , the evils
of the liquor traffic, and no strong

has been given than that present

labor movements.

President Gompers of the Amer
ican Federation declares: “The
time has come when the saloon
and the labor movements must be
divorced. ’
John D. Lennon, treasurer of
the American Federation of la
bor, state his reasons for opposing
the liquor business,in the follow
ing words: "We should-prbfcfct
the women, and keep them out
side the factory, so that they
may become the mothers and
homekeepers of the nation. Will
any man dare to say that the li
quor business has not driven
countless women to^the factory,
the mill, and the wash-tub? The
saloon has driven boys and girls
to the factory. As a trade-union
ist, I am unalterably against a
business that has such tendencies
The unions make Jevery
effort and use every influence
they cqn command to increase
wages. The stream of influence
that runs from a saloon contin-
ously, tends to decrease wages,
for the reason that |every cent
the union man spends in the sa
loon is an absolute waste, and
consequently, his wages are re
duced every dollar that the s
loon gets from him. It is not
question of the money the saloon
pays to the stateJorJtoCthe city
it is a question "Off womanhood
and manhood.”

within the Farmer*’ talon would be tg

Get. the proper officer#! Don’t judge
the right man by his handshake, the
fact.that he will say mean things about
the people you dislike, or by his abil
ity to .put a feeling on you, like at a
revival, meeting. Choose him for his
fitness for the special Job, and try to
find out if he has ever demonstrated It
before. Once you get him In, stick
to him, so long as he does well, until
doom cracks. Give him a chance, even
If he does make a few minor mis
takes, or does a few things you don’t
like. The. probability Is, you would
do twice as bad in his shoes.
If the thing falls through-go at it
again! Try hard enough, and you can
easily number the private enterprises
that have failed. But that didn’t deter
the men who made the failures, or oth
ness and all men, and to cleave te
them, as a man promises to cleave te
his wife, “for better or worse.’’
