A Bill has been for many years before Congress for the appointment of a commission on the investigation of the liquor traffic; and I have never failed to call attention in my Annual Address, to this great movement inaugurated by the National Temperance Society nor to urge the co-operation of the W. The vast importance of this measure is demonstrated by the ceaseless efforts of the whiskey power to defeat its passage, in which they have thus far been successful, and are likely to be for many years to come. The power of the saloon is nowhere more conspicuously manifested than in the annual defeat of this great measure.
Congress has appointed commissions on well-nigh every conceivable subject,-the investigation of the slums of our cities, of sweating establishments, of agricultural interests, of farm mortgages, of immigration, quarantine, railroads, monetary problems, cattle diseases, fisheries, and I know not what besides; but to investigate the liquor monopoly is to touch the very ark of the covenant with hell, and agreement with damnation to which the American people has been sworn by their political leaders.
In spite of all this, we have gained an intelligent idea of the business from the internal revenue reports and from state and police records; but what we want is the attestation of the national government to the truth of these figures of perdition. If Congress persists in its refusal, why shall not the W. Undoubtedly the political machinery of state and nation would place all possible obstacles in our way; but we have a personnel in every community throughout the republic, than which none that exists is more intelligent and devoted.
Such a commission would be absolutely reliable so far as information could be obtained, and unless Congress in creating such a commission would agree to place upon it two or three prohibitionists or White Ribbon women the returns would be unreliable; for no politicians of the two leading parties would dare to weaken their great stronghold-the saloon. One of our best superintendents of legislative work has written of her devotion to this idea, and I bring it forward hoping the Convention may take favourable action.
Frances Belford of Denver, Colorado, has tabulated the following suggestive specifications, which will be of service to speakers and writers; hence they are subjoined This department holds its own among many contestants by reason of the genial spirit of its leader, Mrs. Frances J. Barnes, of New York, and the loyalty of her lieutenants.
No department is conducted with more ingenuity or faithfulness. But we must put more money into it and more organizers in the field, for the attraction of other excellent societies for young women whose methods do not involve the pledge is a growing factor of which we must not fail to take account.
Our Loyal Temperance Legion represents the most progressive method of Juvenile Work with which I am conversant; we recognise no distinction as between "masses" and "classes," and we put the organisation into the hands of the children themselves, so far as presiding and all the local arrangements go, but retain its guidance in the hands of a grown-up Superintendent, and we have a graded course of study.
Reviews of books about China that have been referenced by China sage
In several of the States we have held either County or State Conventions of the children, with results more inspiring than have been attained in any other department of our work within the last five years. With a system so "up to date," it is to be deeply regretted that our numbers do not more rapidly increase.
I suppose we have in round numbers half a million children under our care, taking the world over, but the Bands of Hope in Great Britain alone number 2,, boys and girls. These are eloquent figures, and ought to stir in us emulation as well as zeal. But in one respect at least, we wish our fellow-workers would take a hint from us, for the caste-habit is so strong there that I am told that only children of "the lower middle" class belong to Bands of Hope.
The Bill which has recently passed the legislature in Ontario, Canada, is one that White Ribbon women would do well to study. It is a comprehensive enactment for the proper protection of children, and is based upon the principle that every child born into the country has rights which no parent shall be able to alienate. Hence the State is made responsible to the Government for the welfare of its waifs and strays, and for the children of dissolute parents.
The children may, upon proven charges, be removed from parental control; and among the provisions is one for the removal from the streets after 9 o'clock of children not in charge of proper guardians. The home has everything to gain from such a piece of legislation, and the saloon, the gambling house, and the haunt of infamy have everything to lose. The success of the efforts made by our L. Department, under the leadership of Miss Anna Gordon and Mrs. Between four and five hundred thousand total abstainers pledges have either accompanied their gifts to the fountain or have been forwarded separately; and the collection of these in our exhibits at the Exposition has been of unique interest to the temperance people who have thronged that corner of the Women's building.
The entire number of these pledge cards, all of which to our great regret could not be included in the exhibition, will be preserved among the archives of the World's W. I hope this beautiful fountain, representing a little girl offering a cup of cold water to the multitude, and providing also for the refreshment of the lower animals, may be chosen as the device of the L.
The concept is unique;-the child is just verging upon her teens, and for this reason represents, not only one who receives, but one who gives forth of devotion, intelligent thought, and earnest action to the temperance reform in which she is already a soldier drilled and disciplined. It is this phase of the L. Miss Lucia Kimball, Superintendent, reports that there is now plain sailing for our work in Sunday Schools.
Introduction to Sociology/Print version
At the recent International S. Convention in St. Louis, after a ringing speech by our faithful friend, Rev. Crafts, strongly endorsed by that foremost S. Jacobs, of Chicago, it was unanimously voted that while all other "special lessons" of the International Series are to be discontinued, the quarterly Temperance Lessons shall go on. Miss Kimball will furnish printed lessons to all applicants; her address is Woodford's Maine. I do not longer dwell on our Departments, because we can now say of each what Daniel Webster said of Massachusetts: "There she stands; look at her!
The World's W.
The shading is to come; the tones are to be wrought into its texture with the perspective that shall make a picture glorious and complete. How soon this vision shall begin to dawn on human eyes depends upon each one of us,-in the last analysis perhaps as much on one as on another. Kate Bushnell has justly said that as it was only by confounding the languages of the earth that man was prevented from building a tower to heaven, so the isolation of women from each other has delayed the progress of Humanity.

But women are now saying "we never understood each other so well as we do in these days. No testimony is more uniform or more cheering than that which comes from our round-the-world missionaries, showing the solidarity of sentiment among women everywhere, no matter what their complexion, language, or condition of servitude; they all believe in the White Ribbon Movement when it is explained to them, and none more heartily than the dusky-faced women of Africa, to whom our ambassadors spoke through interpreters, and who listened so long and with such acute interest that the pale-faced women from the West could not find it in their hearts to break up the meeting until an unusually late hour.
The universal kindness and goodwill manifested toward our representatives, brings to our minds with pathetic significance, those sacred words, "He fashioneth their hearts alike. It should be remembered thankfully by us that Mother Stewart, whose name has gone the world over as "the great Crusader," had the honour of giving the first impulse that led to the foundation of the British Women's Temperance Association in ; and that this is universally conceded as a part of authentic history.
Margaret Parker, a philanthropic Scotch woman was the prime mover in England, but Mother Stewart had come to her all the way from Ohio with the crusade torch in her hand. The B. Margaret Bright Lucas ; but the prevailing sentiment in the Executive of that society has always been hostile to Americans and American ideas until the revolution, which took place at the 17th annual meeting in May of , when Lady Henry Somerset and a minority of her Executive Committee led the movement which resulted in the endorsement of the "Do-everything Policy," by a good majority, and the re-election of Lady Henry Somerset and officers who were in agreement with her progressive plans.
As a result of this action the W. There were in the B. Since then 25 have seceded with the members of the old Executive Committee, who resigned after the Annual Meeting, but more than 60 new branches have been formed. Lady Henry Somerset is a peerless leader, she is full of faith that works by love; she is tactful and ingenious, brimming over with wit and good cheer; equally ready with influence, pen, voice, and purse; she has a statesman's head, a courtier's manners, and a child's heart; she is a leader of leaders, and her comrades cherish for her such love as none but unselfish and heroic natures ever win.
I have never seen in America such mighty "Demonstrations" as temperance people know how to organize in England. Doubtless the most salient single feature of the reform this year was the Hyde Park procession of June 10th, participated in by hundreds of thousands, and addressed by all the most prominent temperance speakers in Great Britain in the interest of the Direct Veto Bill, now pending in Parliament and championed by the party in power.
The welcome given me in Exeter Hall on January 9th, presided over by Lady Henry Somerset and participated in by about fifty different philanthropic organizations, far exceeded any meeting that I have ever attended in my own country; and the same might truthfully be said of the welcome meeting in Manchester under the auspices of the United Kingdom Alliance, of which Sir Wilfrid Lawson is President, and the one in Edinburgh at which Lady Henry Somerset and I were addressed not only by our own White Ribbon sisters but by ministers representing all the churches in the land of Burns and Scott.
Hunt leading the forces. Ella E. Williams, of Montreal, is now President of Dominion W. Results of the Commission to investigate the workings of the liquor traffic have not yet been announced, but a plebicit of the people on Prohibition promises to forestall the report of this half-hearted group.

An International College Institute for girls has been established in the handsome city of San Sebastian, which is the high-water mark of women's education and opportunity in the historic old kingdom of Spain. Gulick has been quietly sowing good seed in the hearts of her bright Spanish girls for many years, and Miss Anna Gordon on her birthday, July 21st, established the first Young Women's Christian Temperance Union and L.
These are only starting points it is true, but we do not forget how very small have been the beginnings of our White Ribbon work in almost every locality, state and nation, where it is now taking on a permanent type, known and read of all men for its intelligence and zeal. Two new points of light stand out for us on the map of Europe in places where we have never seen them before, as a result of the International Temperance Convention in the Hague, Holland, in August last.
A meeting of Dutch Women was held addressed by Mrs. We know that the women of Holland do not readily relinquish the grasp that they take on any subject of thought or action, and we feel assured that from this nucleus will spread the light and leading of our movement throughout the little kingdom over which the little Wilhemina will ere many years preside. A lady from Finland was present at this Congress and reported that out of , inhabitants 50, are total abstainers, of whom the large majority are women.
We expect that from the efforts of our Danish Vice-President co-operating with this earnest Finland lady, we shall secure within a few months the beginning of an organization in Finland.

In Norway the first National W. Convention has just been held September at Trondhjem, in "the land of the midnight sun," and strangely blessed was it to receive a telegram of "sisterly greeting" from Countess Vedel-Jarlsburg, the earnest-hearted President. The largest temperance society on the Continent is that of the Croix Bleue, of which the membership is 10, What a commentary is this on the present situation!
