Spread Broadeast List of Names, To
Favor Business ‘* Men on” White List,
The Woman’s Christian Temper-
ance Unlon of Centre county agsin
anpounces that the names of all sign-
ers to liquor license petitions will be
published and distributed broedcast
throughout the county this year as
formerly, Names may be removed by
permission of the Court,
“WHITE LIST’ OF BUSINESS MEN.
At the foriy-second annual conven-
tion of the Pennsylvania Woman's
Christian Temperance» Union, held at
Wilkesbarre October 6th to 10th the
following resolution was adopted :
“ Resolved that each county's of-
ficlale furnish a list of all temperance
hotels in their respective county, such
list to be prepared as soon as poseible
after license court, published in the
pext issue of the Bulletin and offered
to the Blue Book for publication. Al-
80 that same officials prepare a list of
business men who do not sign liquor
license applications or contribute in
any way whatever to the liquor cam-
paign sud request all our people to
patronize these business men,”
This will be more drestic and far-
reaching in its effects on the organized
liquor traffic than at first glance it
might appear to many.
When one takes into consideration
what it would mean for more than
forty-three thousand women in Penn-
sylvapia slone—practically all of them
housekeepers—to band together and
agree to bestow their trade and patron-
age only upon these grocers, butchers
clothiere, dry-goods merchants sn
other business men who will not sign
liquor license applications, nor in any
way aid the Jiquor traffic it becomes
easler to graep the significance of thie
action of the great mass of women In
our state, who form a part of the larg-
est and | est organized body of wo man-
tocd known (0 the world to-1ey,
In the firet paragraph of the resc-
lation s long-feit need is being satis.
fied. In traveling and motoring
sbout this country of ours many are
the irqairies for a temperance botel at
which to lodge or take 8a mes!, where
especially ip the smsller places, one
peed pot be subjected to the unpleas-
ant and often oissgreesble features al-
most invariably conpected with 8 li-
censed house, Especially trying are
these features to women traveling
alone 80 it will be 8 veritable godsend
to thouesnds of respectable people to
have a list of terupersnce botels avail-
able,
This growing and inelstent demand
for temrerance hotels goes far to prove
the fallacy of the old worn-out argu-
ment that a license is a * necessity ”’
for the traveling public. No such
“necessity ”’ exists to-day. Oar
pation is fast becoming too enligbten-
ed to be be-fogged much longer by any
such be-nighted and out-of-date idess,
The demand of the sane and sober
“ traveling public” is an ipeistent now
as the clamoring of the baser element
and in the end shall prevail.
