The rally and meeting of the Con- necticut Temperance Unlon was held at the local Baptist church Thursday afternocon. 'There was a good attend- ance, five towns being represented in- cluding quite a number of ladles. The meeting was opened by H. H. Spooner of Kensington and preyer was offered by Rev. W. F. Rowley. Mr. Spooner stated that it had been the custom to hold the annual meet- ing in January. This year it was de- cided to talk to the people of the state In as many meetings as could be arranged. This has been difficult this winter owing to the bad weather and conditlon of the roads. At the first meeting of the afternoon the question of local conditions was the subject for discussion. Mr. Spoon- er led the meeting. Every town in this state is a law unto itself on local questions, he said, and we are here not to dictate but to advise. I am much interested in the situation in Willimantic. In the past few years vou have done splendid work and have incy the vote against the saloon ¢)id you have the same opportunity to do the same thing this year. You people from the surrounding towns do not have the same problems but you are realizing that people are coming to you and buying up hill farms and settling among you and that <ome day they are going to make that a live question for you. You have not had very much to trouble you, but there is always danger in the idea that things are going to take care of themselves. Better keep your eyes open and your ears to the ground for there is work to be done. Mr. Lanphear at this point sald that although Windham was the only - censed town representing in the meet- ing it is not the only town interest- ed, that all the towns around it are contaminated by its saloons. A Question Answered. W. P. Barstow of South Windham asked what benefit nolicense would be to_the town of Windham. In answer Mr. Spooner said that, in the first place, it would _absolutety and defiintely divorce, so far as the people of the town of Windham are concerned, the people from the liquor trafic. The lawful saloon couM not exist and that is a tremendous moral gain. There would be far less liquor used in this and surrounding towns. I am not foolish enough to say that it would stop instantly the sale of loquor. In towns that have done away with the saloon it has done away with poor, reduced the taxes, reduc- ed the common drunkards. Besides this there Is economic gain. More money going into reputable and proper business. The boy and the girl will be protected from the lawful saloon. No ten blind tigers hidden back In some alley can advertise the llquor traffic to boys and girls as one open saloon can advertise it. The Case of Sprague.

Lady Assistant haa more than it has now. The mills are and the out- lying places all say it is the w. Mr. Conant asked the question that wasn't a person inconsistent who voted for no-license and then voted for a man who stood for the saloon. And that was it not inconsistent for a man to vote for no-licence and vote with a political party by which sa- loons are allowed. Mrs. Gager spoke of the work the local W, C. T. U. had accomplished by means of posters. Posters for some time past and especially before last election were placed in stores and conspicuous places. State-Wide Tomperance. At 330 o'clock Mr. Spooner spoke of the work of the state-wide tem- perence. ‘He sald one of the lines of work was that among forelgn people. There is need of work In this direction. Another side s the work in the legis- lature. For three vears we have had a bill which would aliow women to vote on the license question. course the saloons fought it. The suffragists did not want it as they wanted 1o vote on all matters and the anti-suffragists did not want it at all. The W. C. T. U. has always stood for it and worked for it. We are going to bring it Up again. Another problem is the farm for drunkards. We have two thousand old bums and rounders in this state who are drunk three fourths of the time wher outside of jail. We send them to jail and they come out worse than when they went in. The Wind- ham County jail has the right idea and makes them work. They have soft snap there. as in some where all they have to do is eat and slecp. Then there is the educational prob- lem in factories and shops, to keep the men in the shops from the sa- loon.
