This - address becduse of its able deferSse of Colored "women brought much ap* plause and commendation from th$ audience. ; ' "Better Homes" was the initial top' . ic of discussion as the women began their program on the second day.

(Continued from PagG-Otm)? pdcially at this ani.versary time when j-men's minds will be recalled to the ; great~principles of American free-' | dom. When the words of Washington, 'Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, and the great band of whose spokesman were 11 Sumner, Phillips, Garrison and their r* I associates, are quoted on every side, I* I it is time to ask our fellow citizens jp wha? those words mean, and if they |* are proud to repeat them, whether it t* is only as a familiar jingle or as |? words of vital meaning by which ti.ey ^ | wish to live. The great commandment, t. j the Golden Rule which is the very esC(-S_ence_Jof?Christianityr_does not bid j-Us love our white neighbors as our% selves, Christ does not ask thfet little > white children come unto Him 'for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.' * "We flatter ourselves thnt we ara the most enlightened people on earth 8. and are free with our criticism -e?J j European "nations.

' ^ , . ;l ^ PROHIBITION NOT AN EXPERI, r MENT X ' 9, ' _ d Continued from page 1 it i*. ties that attended the use of liquor in 5- preprohibition .days. *1 "Permanency of national prohibile tion in the United Stales Ts assured, 1, first, because o fthe very evjdent n improbability of the repealing or s.j weukenlng ot the" riaTtohal prohibitory n law;, second, because of the practical l- impossibility of modifying or repeal;r ing the 18th Amendment, third, beie cause the majority in favor of prohi3.! bition is gradually and constantly in;r -reusing in spits of the loud voiced [. liquor minority-; and fourth, because :s of the demands of the new age which n 1 practically put the use of beverage ig alcohol out of the question for the fua ture. ? J'The great mass of labor .which wa* i3 unskilled a few years ago, is now |8 skilled labor. The new a?e demands y' keen wits, clear eyes, steady nerves n^and unclouded brains. The industrial ,r! revolution now takipg place in the t manufacturing world makes. jjtQhibi e tion and sobriety absblute necessities. 0 In the world of transportation In 0'whiclvthe railway express, the autoI mobile and the airships are the imi-,. - , V porta.pt factors, there is no room for the beverage liquor traffic. - Ijt may V have...been tolerable in*, the age of unr j skilled labor, the* ox cart, the water . ? TO LEADER mill and the stage coach, but it is not tolerable in the new ago of skilled tabor, the electric dynambi~tfie automobile and the airship. The bevrfage liquor traffic certainly belpngs to a lower, and slower civilisation. "We cannot have adequate enforcement and observance of prohibition qntil the people come tM realist this vital truth and until they come to respect and observe the law, not simply because it is the law -but because they have confident belief in the fundamental reason for prohibition. That process "will require years of education but it is inevitable. "The need of the hour is not to surrender to those who defy the law but touse the nation's resources to demonstrate that this republic can enforce its own mandates; not to stretch or evade* the constitution but to defend and proteet-.it; not to follow the line of least resistance but .to follow that line which alone will make for human welfare and for the preservation of national honor. ?"The primary issue is not political but educational. The real problem is not involved in the next general e icKuun put, m tin; irext generation." ~ TO THOSE WHO GOT NO CONGRESS DELEGATES ; There has much been said about those who went to the expense of preparing and did not ge* delegates ; lend me your ears:I There' was a concerted plot on the I part oi my enemies to make confus[ ion along that line.. They succeeded, but let us take a sober look at the situation and let the chips fall where they may. ~ | Before the Congress met I did my utmost to gtnrrd against just what happened. I hired eight reliable men had badges made and pinned, on theii coats in order that the delegatior should make no .mistake as to whc was whn. I paid these men to guar<i tjie railway stations day and night But, here is \vhat really did happen certain ones in this city had writter whole delegations to come directly t< them on reaching Columbia.

I have been infprirjed thptso mtl<;l *>or hea?k wao-paid to deliver so -mar^ delegates at "homes here during thi Comrress. and there must he snhi. [truth in it because there were score j of homes crowded with delegates whi I were not on my official list, j HowHid these delegates get to thesi homes?, i Thd Editor of The Recorder-Indica | tor seems to know a thing or -twt i and should be made to cough up.
