ion. He 'did not settle the greatest moral question of his day. "No, the slavery question was not settled until It was eettlod right, and onl when the people got the idea of the nestandard morals for every inch of territory in the United States, If slavery Is wrong in Illinois, it is wrongvln Alamabn, It Is wrong In one etate it Is wrong everywhere. 1 Didnt Sottlo It, Look at history again. Did tho compromise tariff of 1833 settle the slavery question? Did the Missouri compromise act settle it? Did the Scott Dred decision settle It? The slavery question was not settled until It was settled right.

This nations experience was sim-i liar with the notorious Louisiana Lottery. Gambling was illegal, lottery companies wore prohibited In every state In the Unifn except one, Louisiana. In consequence, Louisiana Lottery tickets were sold in every state in the Union, until It became a national vice. Now, lotteries were either right or they were wrong. Gambling cannot be right in one state and wrong In all the 'others.

Undo Bam Stopped Lottery. Finally, Uncle Sam took notice and prohibited the use of thrf mails to the lottery operators, and later prohibited the transportation of tick ets in every form, express, freight or mall, afoot or on horseback. Uncle Sam decided the thing was wrong and put a stop to There again you have the principle of the single standard of morals working out beneficially. You can no more regulate the saloon than you can make a vegetarian out of a bed-bug. Remember, 1 the liquor traffic Is either right, or it Is wrong.

If It is wrong In one state it is wrong in all states The only way then that we can have actual prohibition Is to have nation-wide -prohibition. Warning to Wilson. JThe liquor dealers advertise former President Taft' as against prohibition. Taft Prohibition is lie will go down In history like Lewis Cuss, Stephen Douglas end James Buchanan. The greatest moral question of the day ia the liquor traffic.

President for whom I have great admiration, and whose attitude on most questions meets my approval, except his position on the liquor traffic, is a candidate for the re-nomlnatlon. He will write his own platform. He will Insert a plank, declaring for state rights, popular vote in each state on prohibition. If he does he will be the James Buchanan of the present century and will keep company with that ex-president in oblivion. I would rather have my name linked with the right side of a.

moral question and be defeated in consequence, than be president, and be wrong on the greatest moral question of the Talking Every Day. Clinton. N. Howard said: This Is the Flying Squadron. Since June we have been speaking every day, but two, and sleeping on trains.

Every day has us to another city, and every few days into another state. I make, two speeches a day. When I dont make two, I make three, when I dont make three I make four. Last Sunday at Lincoln, Nebraska, I made five speeches. That was five hours of talking, at five different meetings.

I have Just looked through our schedule, and find we arebooked for every day from now until June 10, When you tell me that nationwide prohibition is Impossible. I know It is possible. It is the Impossible that always happens In. history. The Best Speech.

The best speech ever made was made by a woman, and it was a short speech, too. Harriet Beecher Stowe, dragged hefor a great audience who had come to hear her Henry Ward Beecher, speak on the slavery question, said: "The longer I live, the more I am persuaded that what ought to happen will happen. "We know what ought to happen to the liquor traffic, and I believe, it will happen.

1 A The Inclemency of the Weather In the afternoon of yesterday was not very encouraging for the speakers of the second day of the series of addresses by the Flying Squadron of America. It was beyond the regular time of opening when the speaking began, there being hardly half, a house full of people present in the auditorium of the church. E. W. Chafin, of Arizona, twice a candidate on the Prohibition ticket for president, opened the series of addresses by claiming that his state is one of the greatest in the country In many respects.

'He said tha: Arizona has the most big rivers with no water in them; that there are places where one can see farther and see 1 less than anywhere else In the coun-M try; that it has the greatest canyon in the world, one capable of containing enough water to furnish power for all of the industries of the Pacific coast and have enough water left for the Irrigation of two states; and it has In the Roosevelt dam the biggest' dam in the world." i But better than, that he said the state has the most progressive con-. stltution in the and at the last election vqted to give the ballot to women and put prohibition in the constitution. -Capital punishment haa been abolished and every voter can read apd write the English language, that being made a pre-requisite to voting.

'Quarantine laws have been enacted; whereby the state has the right tot take possession of property and destroy it to prevent the spread of a contagions disease and no compensation has to be paid for property so destroyed.

Under the quarantine laws theory, the government has "the right to step in and prevent tile sale of the poison named alcohol, and destroy the property used filmmaking It. On his part speaker said was in favor of compensation so as to be fair to all Concerned, but in fixing' such compensation he would, after getting at the value of the property, d'educt therefrom the damage the traffic has done to American homes and give the owners of the property the balance He declared that science has proved alcohol a poison, that It has no food value, and that it never changes itR form.

Chafin of Flying Squadron. HISTORY SHOWS SLAVERY WAS ENDED Local Option in Gambling and Mormonism and Other Crime Is Not Permitted Only Solution of Drink Question Is in Nation-Wide Prohibition-Uncle Sam Is Best Conqueror of Evil Institutions.

The nation-wide prohibition is the best and only thorough Solution of the evils of the Liquor Traffic, was the text of the speakers of the Flying Squadron last night, at the Ottawa street M. E. church. Eugene W. Ohaflg, of Tucson, Arizona, related history of other great moral questions, and proved that they have been settled, and settled right, only when the people got the Idea of a single standard of morals for the whole question.

lie pointed out United States history on slavery, on Mormorism, and on lotteries. When each state decided for itself, these offenslfcWere wide-spread. HertieJ. W. Spencer was chairman of the mating.

The speakers were Mrs. Culla J. Vayhlnger, Eugene Cha-hiv andlinton Howard. Is It IUgl't or WVong? Mrs. Culla J.

Vayhinger What my attitude Shall kbe 'toward arvinstitution'depends on itb character! -If it Js suqh an institution "that its activities result in good, I shall be for it; if it does harm, I shall bo against it. -f. If you ask me how I stand on slavery, 3 ask what does It do? it permits the selling and buying human' flesh, and tears families apart, husbands and wives, babe3 from their mothers breasts. I am against it. So it is wlth Mormorism, which, through its polygamous practices, degrades womanhood; and anarchy, which defies law and kills and destroys.

Then what shall be my altitude toward the liquor traffic? Hera is an institution that fosters all vice, the enslavement of man's mind and body, the disruption of home and family, the defiance of law and order. The saloon is an institution which Is bad, and bad in its effects. I am against It. Liquor a Liability. There is nothing good in it, nor in its effects.

Even the liquor dealers do not offer to prove that tho traffic is an asset to the state. It is a liability. "Eighty per cent, of the crime Is traced back to liquor. At least 20 per 'cent of insanity due to liquor. Alcoholic drink is responsible for per cent of the child labor.

"Nothing will do 'but nation-wide prohibition. The state of Indiana, my state, has tried all kinds of things, and experimented without end, but haa not gotten the right system yet. Tho Standard of Morals. Eugene W. Chafin said: You never can settle a question of morals and politics except on a basis of a single standard of morals for every inch of territory In tho' Unltod States.

Let us review a little history. When California applied for into the Union, the South said it must be a slave state, and the North said a free state. Lewis Cass, one of our great Democratic statesmen, a great man, was in a quandary, lie wanted to be president. If he voted for slavery, he would lose the northern vote; if for freedom, he would lose the southern states. But he was a great man, as I say.

"So he invented the popular sever lgnity, local self government Ideal the local option of slavery. 'Let th' people ot California decide for themselves, he said. He was candidate for president in 1848, but he was not elected. I Buchanan In Oblivion. 'Stephen A.

Douglas, that other great Democratic statesman, also used the popular sovereignity idea, when he was running for president. But the man who stood right on the question of slavery defeated him. isnt; it a mighty long slide from Lincoln -to Lorimer?

It was Eugene W. Chafin, of Arizona, who has achieved prominence in the prohibition ranks in past years by his willingness to carry the banner of the party through political campaigns. The willingness made him successively a candidate for attorney general governor of Wisconsin, a candidate in Chicago for congress against William Lorimer and twice the candidate of the party for president, In looking over his ahdlence, Mr. Chafin said that he recognised some old friends whom he had met on IS Venerable Foe of Liquor Traffic Features Session of the Flying Squadron. The afternoon session of the Flying Squadron today had some delightful features.

Mrs. Blackwelder, representing the womens organizations, was chairman. Besides Jhe speeches, the meeting was marked by the presence of the venerable James P. ifur-phy, one of the oldest advocates of the temperance cause in He was brought to the gathering by Geo. R.

Hill and George B. Carey, in the latter's automobile, and given a seat of honor on the platform. "Uncle Jimmie Murphy was a fighter against liquor when it meant a lot to take such a stand. He did not have back of him in those years long ago the strong, popular sentiment for sobriety which now prevails, and he had to fight every foot of the way. He took part in the Father Matthew crusades in this city, and was always ready with a speech.

Tho old court house witnessed some great temperancp and, Mr Was one best (fighters. It was hoped to have him say a 'few words this' afternoon. Another old veteran In the game who would have been present had he not been 'too feeble, Is Eugene 'Daly. Mr. Daly was visited this morning by Mr.

Hill, and he talked entertainingly of some' of the old-time -movements. He hab kept track of the liquor traffic, and declares the consumption per -capita has Increased. Daly posseses the silver medal which Father Matthew wore during his memorable crusade In Ireland. Father Matthew gave it to a priest, the priest gave it to a friend, and this friend gave it to Mr. Daly.

It was exhibited at the meeting this afternoon. who prescribes It may, In case the patient dies, be sent to the penitentiary for manslaughter. In conclusijn he said that the liquor traffic is the worst scourge of the world and that it is the easiest cured, as ten lines of statute law would do It. Woman Speaker. Mrs.

Culla J. Veyhinger, president of the W. C. T. of Indiana, proved a veritable surprise to the audience, and showed that she is not the least among the stars of the combination.

I She began by saying that the wettest senator In the Indiana legislature fathered a bill at the last session to provide an inebriate asylum for the state, urging that drunkenness is a disease and not a crime. But she Insisted that there Is a remedy worth a dozen of that kind, and that is to drivfi the saloon out of business so that It can make no more drunkards Safeguard Bank Bonds 55 ft 4 pt Iff J.

The speaker said that it was characteristic of the American people to ufce the wrong method in trying to apply any reform, and that this is what has been done in the war upon the liquor traffic. The Flying Squadror, she said, was made up of individuals of all parties, churches and creeds, and that it. Is trying to stir up all of the Christian churches of the country and get them into action to help put the saloon out of business. It is confessed that the old methods have failed and that new ones must be tried. The dealers in liquor expect that the phurches will put them out of business and will be much disappointed If they fail to do so.

The saloon, she said, is the worst enemy of the church. Both of them need the same forces. Which shall have the young men of tho courtry, the saloon or the church? The church is at work at the back door of the saloon and the 'brothel with its work of rescue. What it needs is to get at the front door and "close it with the ballot, Talk By the Chairman. Clinton B.

Howard, the chairman of the section, closed tho speaking for tha afternoon in a powerful address in which oratory and humor were Tun-gled. He said that there is enough public sentiment in the country to beat the liquor traffic, but it is not on record. If all the people who believe in putting the saloon out of business wpuld vote that way it could be easily done. Righteousness, he said, is the m'ost contagious thing in the world, and it should be applied tho fight against liquor. He scored the business men who dare not put their names to a petition against tho liquor traffic because It would hurt their business and said that such men are cowards.

Mr. Howard said thatjie believed In the gospel of hate as well as the gospel of love and that he finds equal warrant for it in the scriptures, which tell the people to' hate evil while they love the good. He said that few-people sell their votes for money; but that tho saloon has it ways of getting the votes of Christians without putting out the coin for Uiam, i Davisons label in a Suit op Overcoat stands as a mark of Clothes Perfection.
