W. C. T. U. Convention at
burg.
The thirty-fifth annual convention of
the Centre County W, C. T..U. was
held in Boalsburg, beginning Wednes.
day, Sept, 20th, and continuing till the
morning of Sept, joth. Despite the un.
favorable weather the attendance was
good, The majority of the county
unions were represented and three doz-
en or more delegates were present from
different parts of the county, During
the day business sessions were held to-
gether with addresses from the dele-
gates and the wsiting ministers. The
principal speakers for the evening were
Mrs. Maude Perkins, of Syracuse, N. Y,,
National secretary of the young people's
branches of the organization, and Dr.
Homer W, Tope, of Philadelphia, secre-
tary of the Anti-Saloon League. Both
of these addressess were excellent and
sounded a note of warning of the perils
which confront us as a nation, It is to
be regretted that more did not hear
them, because they could not fail to stir
in us emotions for good and greater zeal
for the promotion and welfare of our
country.
The report of the president,
becca N, Rhoads, and the delegates,
showed that much interest was mani-
fested in the unions, and did not fail in
good works. Many of the unions not
merely held their own, but
their membership, and also enlarged
their usefulness, Flowers were sent
this year to the sick in ofir hospitals and
contests were introduced by the differ-
ent unions in our public schools for the
best essay on temperance
The W. C. T. U. in our county
a negligible organization, as some would
have it. From the beginning, a half
century ago, some hooted at the idea of
women trying to fight the saloon.
Prom a small beginning they increased
their forces, and gathered impetus and
grew in might and power, having other
agencies which worked side by side with
them, and worked on until the 18th
amendment to the constitution was en-
acted. Nor do they now deem tha:
their work is done. The enemy rum is
apparently dead, but for fear that he
might revive and appear in some other
formidable mannper, they mean to
vigilant and fight to the finish,
Nor is temperance, as far as alcohol is
concerned, the only monster they wish
to overcome, Every evil that threatens
society they stand ready to
Years ago the W. C. T. U. was instru.
mental in getting in our public school
text books, articles on the effects of al
cohol upon the human body. So now
they aie making a scientific investiga.
tion of the effects of tobacco upon the
human body. The result of these in-
vestigations, they will endeavor to have
a law enacted in order that the same
may be brought to the attention of our
public school children in their studies.
No use to try to reform {the habitues of
tobacco, but begin with the children and
youth by a course of instruction,
The improper use of drugs and the
social evil, are no less a matter of their
consideration. They demand an equal
standard of morals for both men and
women. Too long has the flippant
young man been cuddled and the unfor-
tunate woman despised. The W. C. T,
U. rises in arms against such injustice,
and demands an equal and higher stan-
dard of morals on the part of every one,
This and even more is what our coun-
ty union stands for. They have been
silently but surely working to this end.
In the face of what has already been
done by the W. C. T. U. who dare say
that their work has been futile. Every:
one interested in social uplift, can sot
fail but share his sympathy, help and
cooperation in such force for civic right.
