men?the age of the stage coach, and
the ox team, and the watet mill?-it is
quite impossible in the new age of
skilled workmen employers' liability
and workers' compensation?the age
of the automobile, the airplane, and
the electric dynamo.
These times require sjteady nerves,
clear brains and unclouded vision. It
doesn't do to see double. Even laborers
with alcohol soaked brainss are
no longer tolerated as operators of
our great American industries.
We hear so much ^bout the increased
bootlegging uhder prohibition,
but the records shpw that when
the 8,700 saloons were Running night
and day in Chicago, forjinstanCe they
had a whole menagerie jof blind pigs,
blind tigers, bootleggers, etc., which
the police matron tells us could be
counted by the thousand^, and this, remember,
in addition tp all the saloons,
grocery stores, drug stores, hotels,
cafes and other licensed places
The wet organizations are unitedly
clamoring for "light wines and beer"
with government control, as they have
in parts of Canada, professedly to do
away with bootlegging and drinking
among young people?boys and girls.
Yet the "Vancouver Star," Van Couver,
B. C? where this plan is in full
operation, says: "There is more
drinking and use of narcotic drugs
among young boys and girls in Vancouver
than ever before) . The government
liquor stores sell freely to bootleggers,
and bootlegging is worse in
Vanoouver than ever it was."
Ten reasons why the' Woman's
Christian Temperance Union Should
carry on:
1. Its work is not done. The con'
fllct for law enforcement may be as
long and bitter as for constitutional
prohibi^on. Every Ideal union is a
center through which sentiment for
law enforcement is made. ,
2. It is adaptable to the needs of
city and country alike and to every
nation. Its many-sided activities commend
it to people of varied interests.
3. It is a training school in reform
methods and it has tbe machinery to
promote such reforms.
4. It is a law observance organization.
Every member is pledged to
obey the law, and because of this
basic fact it lays foundations for, obedience
to all laws.
5. It is a promoter of good legis

6. It is needed to meet the attacks
of our organised enemy; and
through its official orggn to broadcast
information throughout the
world about the benefits of prohibition.
7. It encourages and helps the
women of other nations to do for
their country what the W. C. T. U.
has done for American women.
8. It is an organization of women
of all church affiliations; as such is
promotes Christian fellowship and is
needed In ever^ communit.
9. The form of organization is
ideal, binding together the women in
local, county, state, national and
world units. It has been built up at
great expense of time and energy and*
with a sacrificial spirit. It is still
needed.
10. It is Christian in origin, evangelistic
in spirit, educational in character
and an organized movement for
protection of the home.
DMxhlKOinn mill win To win will I
mean a long drawn out battle. To
win we muat hold hold high our
standard.
The future of prohibition in the
world depends upon the success of
our great social experiment in America.
We know not in what form or
where we must meet our opponents.
Instead of yielding to their demands
we answer by calling upon all patriotic
citizens to obey the law and
upon officials to do their duty in
enforcing the law.
It may be necessary to change some
social customs to do this, but social
customs can be changed. It may be
necessary to perfect our laws. It
may be necessary to secure better enforcement
officials. It will be necessary
to change public attitude on the
whole question, but it mnst be done,
and what must be done can be done,
