Several important amendments wero recommended by the committee, A lengthy discussion atose over tho reten- tion of county presidents s delogates to the stato conventions, The county prosidents weore retained as delegates, The matter of sending delogates to the na- tional convention was a subject of discussion, Tho rulo has been that districts having 8 paid up membvership of 500 have a right to & delegate in the national convention. The discussion arose over the effort to secure rep- resentation for those districts which have not 500 members in good standing. Mrs, Woodward favored the idea of per- mitting tho district not having 500 delegates to have n representation in the national con- vention by paying a sum equal to the same as the dues of 5 m T'ho substitute of- fered by Mrs. Woodward was adoptad.

I Baker, president of the Cowles union.

Sho said that she should take tho picture back to Webster county and present it to the Womun's Christian Temperanco union there with the assurance that it would be an inspiration and a blessing to them. Mrs. Daker said that many of the ladies who had sent in tho sub- scriptions resided at Red Cloud and the por- trait would probably be presentod to them at that place, After Mrs. Baker had finished Ler ad- @ress the ladies =ang, “Blessed b tbo tio that binds our noarts in Christian lovs.” Mrs. Brakefield of Red Cloud arose and said that she would certainly oppose tho iaoa of pliog tho portraii entirely for the Ked Cioud union, Sho thought that the union workers down in that part of the stato could adopt the 1tinerant plan and send the picturo all around the county.

Now, what would be the result! I'ne roturn of previous couditions Scoros of hell toles in the immadiate vicinity of forts! Which of tho two is the best? I believe you should view tho matter from the safo stand- point as you do prohibition. You know that by prohibition you will not abolish the use of liguor; you know that by prohibition you take tho traffic out of tho coutrol of tho authorities; you know that by prohibition you place tho trafiic into the hands of frresponsiblo, vicious and lawless eloment. You will do the same by abolishing tho canteen. The trafic is under army control and supervision i the cantecns, abolish thom and you create amultitude of holl holes. Youcan't make tectotalers out of our boys in blue by abolishing tho can- toons, but only drive them from respectablo resorts into disreputable. Cui bono? CIVILIAN, o One Minute.
