THE LAKE SHORE NEWS. THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1914. TEMPERANCE MAKES GAIN IN FORTY YEARS Miss Anna Gordon of Evanston Delivers Lecture on Sub- ject at Chautauqua, New York CHEERFUL OMENS SEEN John Barleycorn Has Boon Dealt Severe Knock-Out Blows With- in Test Decade--More Coming On Aug. 12, In the Amphitheater, Chautauqua, N. Y., Misa Anna A Gor- don delivered an address on "The Progress of the' Temperance Reform and the Prospect for National Consti- tutional Prohibition." We give here extracts from the latter part of that address. As vice-president of the Na- tional Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Miss Gordon automatically suc- ceeded Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens as presi- dent of that organization. "Forty years ago the temperance re- form was traveling at the pace of a prairie schooner along a western trail. Today Its electric speed is the despair of the liquor dealer and foretells the early downfall of his trade." Educational Work. -The phenomenal progress of the temperance reform as hastily outlined is the best proof I can present that the prospect for- national constitutional prohibition is most encouraging. Many and Varied are the influences that have fed the prairie Are of public sen- timent now sweeping us on toward our gleaming goal, but it is only just that, speaking of today for the 300.000 true-hearted white ribboners, I should emphasise the forty years of educa- tional work of our organization, .a so- ciety unparalleled in its effective ma- chinery, in its devotion and its self- sacrifice, and declare my belief that under God's blessing the W. C. T. U. has,been the greatest instrumentality in arousing tlic heads, hearts and con- sciences that are now demanding na- tional constitutional prohibition/' "Other great agencies contributing to the rapid and marvelous develop- ment of the temperance reform include the Prohibition party, the Anti-Saloon league, the National Temperance so- ciety, the International Reform bu- reau, and that mighty host, the church militant, air declaring unremitting warfare against their greatest enemy, the liquor traffic. The Young Peoples' Society of Christian Endeavor, with its ringing slogan, 'A Saloonless Na- tion in 1920,' the other young peoples' societies in various denominations, and the magnificent army of the Sun- day schools, are all out on the firing line, well equipped with temperance ammunition." "Safety First" for- Children. "National constitutional prohibition is a 'safety first' measure that should command the earnest, active," untiring support of every Christian and every patriot. It is 'safety first' for thou- sands of suffering women and chil- dren; it is 'safety first' for the rising generation of boys and girls, our citi- zens of tomorrow who are entitled to this protection along life's treacherous highway; it is a 'safety first* measure made absolutely necessary by the complex condition of the electric age in which we live, an age which must eliminate alcoholic.poison if it would preserve individual and national life. National constitutional prohibition is an efficiency measure which must pre vail in our great republic if we arc to maintain our proud position among the nations of the world." _ __ T "There are many signs of the timeB which indicate a good, prospect of winning this greatest of temperance victories. The prospect is good be- cause John Barleycorn has in recent years been several times struck by na- tional prohibition lightning." "The abolishment of the sale of liquor in the -restaurants-of our na- tional capitol building, in the Soldiers' homes, and in the army canteen; the to-called 'white-ribbon regime' at the white house; the passage of;) the Wobb-Kenyon bill for the protection of prohibition territory; the fearless action or Secretary Daniels in banish- ing strong drink from the navy; the order of secretary of war, Mr. Garri- son, closing thirty-five saloons on the United States side of the Panama must have somewhat prepared John United States live under prohibition laws, and the saloon has been ban- ished from seven-tenths of the terri- tory of our country. Nine glorious commonwealths have voted out the manufacture and sale of liquor, and the seven states where 'Campaigns are now waging bid fair to win." "The prospect la good because many great Industrial concerns are discovering that alcohol Is to blame for inefficiency and for accidents, and they are demanding total abstinence of their employes; 'sneanse scientists and physicians are declaring against alcohol as an enemy to health and a deceptive friend in disease; because the General Federation of Woman's clubs at their recent biennial in Chi- cago adopted a resolution favoring prohibition." "The prospect Is good because the ballot is to be place in women's hands, and as a rule they will use It as did the women of Illinois but spring when they drove 1,100 saloons out of business in the Prairie state." "The prospect is good because of the able standard-bearers we have in the United States senate and the house of representatives." "The prospect is good because chil- dren and youth are being enlisted as "Young Campaigners for Prohibition.' and with regalia, rally eries and songs are an influential, factor in all our campaigns." "The prospect is good because the liquor dealers believe their business is doomed. To prove the tracer of this we have only to read the liquor jour- nals and the circulars sent out to the saloons." "Lastly, we believe we shall win because our cause is just, and we are on God's side in the conflict between right and wrong. We Verily believe that within a decade will come what Mrs. Stevens longed to live to see, 'the glad and glorious tomorrow of national constitutional prohibition.'"

WAR PRICES When Jones' motor car broke down outside of Quogue, L. I. Si Simkins on his sorrel nag came slowly ridin' by. "Just haul me into town," said Jones, "and if you do it quick I'll come across with seven bucks, and never make a kick." "I shan't haul no one," Si replied, "for seven bucks no mora, I'll have to charge ye thutty, on account of this here war." When Colonel Green fell in the bay he raised a mighty shout To One-eyed Dawson on the shore to come and pull him out. "I cannot swim!" the Colonel yelled, "come help me, or I'll drown, And when you get me safe on land ' you'll get ten dollars down." "My price," said One-eyed pensive- ly, "for takin' folks to shore. Has gone to eighteen dollars on account of all this war." --By Jones J. Montague, In The Examiner. Many Games Worked to Beat Railroads At a time when railways are being admonished to abolish various free services, most of them arising from the necessities of developing traffic, before they seek to offset higher ex- penses by means of advanced rates, it has been discovered that the rail- ways of the United States are losing annually one and one-third million dollars through the almost universal inclination on the part of the travel- ing public to deceive regarding the ages of children and avoid payment of half fares. Recent growth of the evil, which, if allowed to pass, places both travel- er and carrier in the position of vio- lating the interstate commerce law, has caused the roads to keep a check of its prevalence. The resulting fig- ures have been so surprising that steps must be taken, it is said, to (o 12 years of age. Tariffs on file with the interstate commerce coin- mission at Washington provides that childreu between the ages of 5 and 12 years shall pay half the full pas- senger fare which is chargeable ior all 12 years or over." „ Skilful Gold Beating.

I come up to you who are in the light, in the warm sun- light of right living from which I have been shut out. 1 ask you for help; I ask you for sympathy; I ask you for interest.

I ask each one of you out there for your share of help, your share of understanding, your share of encouragement to those who are fight- ing out battles for us.--Prologue of '"The Traffic," spoken from darkened stage. When "Tile Traffic" is offered at the Victoria theater on Sunday, Au- gust 23, those patrons seeking a sen- sational and salacious play will be disappointed, because this truly re- markable work of Rachael Marshall's is of the simplest, a truthful, faithful depiction of what has been commonly called "white slavery," and as Ashton Stevens, the eminent critic of the Chi- cago Examiner, terms it, "the cleanest play of the sadder worid ever writ- ten." y Among the many men and women of prominence who have publicly: en- dorsed it is Lieutenant Governor Bar- rett O'Hara of Illinois, chairman of the Illinois senate vice and wage com- mission, who says, in part: "I do not hesitato to recommend 'Tho Traf- fic' to the citizenship of Chicago en- tirely without reat rvation.

It is an exhaustive compilation and inter pretation of mortality statistics, cal- culated to inspire a movement for con- servation of life in Cook county. It is a report for the years 1912 and 1913, and is the first the coroner has issued since he opened his campaign for human-life conservation. IL coir tains the record of 10,922 sudden or violent deaths in Cook county, fully 5,000 of which, the coroner declares, were avoidable. The report will be distributed wide- ly in furtherance of the coroner's safety first campaign. Homicide Is on the increase, the report points out;^470 cases in two years. There was an increase of from 9S to 13G deaths due to speeding in automobiles; there were 30i cases of drowning and 80 deaths from f.tanus. The year 1912 broke all records for suicides, 572, an increase of 13.19 pei cent. December was the record month with 59.

One Road's Experience. One western railway, keeping a check on passengers with children going through the gates in its Chicago station, found sixty-three cases in one month where, without close question- ing, children would have been carried free illegally. Upon directing these travelers to the ticket office .fifteen were found to be transcontinental pas- sengers. Of fifty cases in another month, twenty-nine were transconti- nental passengers.. The average amount Involved In this road's Chicago station alone has been $1,000 per month, while a six month's check of* stations oq the en- tire system bab shown that $50,003 In children's transportation would have been evaded without close ques- tioning, aside from the numerous cases discovered by conductors on trains A t>lx mcuih's check on repre tentative roads has revealed an aver- age evasion of passenger fares vhica, applied to the entire country, amounts to $1,350,000 annually. A Serious Problem. "It is a serious problem and dilficult of solution." said the passenger traf- fic manager of one of tho western lines, "for whereas insistence upon paymrnt of fares almost invariably results in resentment on the part or the passenger, failuro on our part to demand half fare tickets constitutes a clear violation of the state and inter- state commerce laws.
