The WoniHn’sl’Iiristian TeiufM*rance I nion is a body composed of Christian women of all churches and Women not connected with any church who are in sympathy with the movement. Jt is National in its aims and ends and has a membership of over 50,000 in the United States. There are branch socie- every state in the Union. The first W. (’. I. U. in this state was organized over two years ago, and there are now unions at Portland, East Portland. Dalles. Salem, Al­ bany, Corvallis, Eugene City. Boseburg, In­ dependence, McMinnville, Lafayette" and Dayton. Many of the most earnest Chris­ tian women of the state are identified with the work. Many of the niinistery of all de­ nominations are helping in our work : the churches are open for our meetings and the better class of people everywhere lend their aid and inlluence as soon as they come to understand our work. And now. what is our work ? “ To educate public sentiment up to total abstinence, train the young, save the inebriate and secure le­ gal prohibition and complete banishment of the liquor traffic.” The traffic is an enemy to the home, an en­ emy to the church, to the Sabbath school, to the public school, and an enemy to all true progress in the community. God established, the home; the saloon tears down and de­ stroys the home. The church and Sabbath school seek to uplift and save : the saloon withers and blights all good and pure and holy impulses and affections. The public school seeks to educate the minds, morals and manners of the youth ; the saloon fos­ ters ignorance, vice and crime. In the home the best and truest feelings of heart are planted and cultivated : in the saloon men lose their self respect, their virtue and their souls. The W. C. T. U. comes as a friend to strengthen the weak, to lift up the fallen and help them to regain their lost honor. The W. C. T. U. asks your aid. your sympathy and your prayers. The editor has kindly given space and we shall from time to time present facts and thoughts for your consid­ eration. The W. 0. T. U. is a fixed fact and has come to stay until the whole land is free from the curse of liquor. E ver L asting . P ortland , Or.. Jan 21, 1884. E d . R eporter :—I am pleased to notice the the different views expressed by your corres­ pondents concerning the great evil of intem- p rance. Discussion is what is n^edi d If any man honestly thinks, (no woman ever can,! that intemperance is a blessing to humanity, for one, I am anxious to hear his reasons for so thinkin". I feed sure that a dozen columns in favor of temperance would not accomplish half as much good as one col­ umn which advocated drunkenness. Hence 1 say, hear all sides, for the sophistry of an opponent will often arouse more enthusiasm in behalf of truth than the most logical and eloquent discourse in its favor. To illus­ trate : Should a lecturer come to McMinn­ ville and advocate the pernicious morality, or rather immorality taught by the refugee.

The law is enforced in three- fourths of tin- state. Tile law permits a town to rid itself of dramshops when a majority of the citizens, men and women, so petition. And they persist in enforcing the law ill spite of the fact (according to "Junius") that pro­ hibition causes " depression in trade.” Well, it does cause a depression in the whisky trade, but all other trades pros­ per under prohibitory laws. Another ease : " Millville, N. J., is a thriving manufacturing town; it used to be noted for rum ami drunkenness, but since the authorities refused to grant licenses ;i great change Inis taken place.” lion. J. W. Newlin, editor of the Millville /ii'pii/i/uioi. says: “ The liquor traffic has decreased bit per cent, and what illicit trattiic there is, is driv­ en into the darkest corners, for a hid­ ing place. (If prohibitory laws cannot be enforced, why hide ”) This proves that illicit traders fear the law will be enforced. Mr. N. says, “There is a great falling off of drunkenness and crime." Of course. A writer says: We visited the fac­ tories and talked with the working men ; they said. ' we never want to see liquor sold in Millville again.' ” (Why not, if liroliibition depresses trade .’ But it does depress the liquor trade, for says the same writer, “ We visited some rumsellers whose business had been suppressed, ol rather depressed, and they said ‘You temperame men will ruin the city II’” Again; Mr. Lilly, of Cornell, 111., writing to the Lever, of Nm. 29th, 1882, says, "Cornell is a village of about 500 inhabitants. Prior to the year 1878, the village had four tine- looking saloons and one dilapidated church, but the ttood Templars got a foot-hold here and elected a prohibi­ tion Board by a majority of five. Since that time our majorities have increased with each succeeding election and now we have three nice churches and not a saloon, ami the business of the city is better than it ever was under xvhiskv rule."
