While she may not ; be technically violating the law, ac cording to the way it Is inierpre-ted in Kansc.s. still as a matter of fact her course Is one opposed to law and order, and therefore Is to be lOndemned by th" union, because our whole fight Is against lawlessness. For the union at large to Indorse the methods of Mrs. Nation would not be consistent with our constitution. If we are ever ty succeed in crushing the power of the -aloons, It must be by legislation, not by the hatchet. "It will be impossible for Mrs. Nation to smash saloons In Xew York as she has In Kansas, as she would be arrest ed Immediately and would be forced to pay for the damage she had done. She could not hipe for any help from th-? local branches rf the union." GOOD MAY COME FROM EVIL.
