Show SCHOOL BOYS WITH FLASKS. The .Fairporti, N. Y., Women's Christian Temperance Union is now much grieved over the fact that boys in public schools are carrying flasks of liquor in their pockets tempting the younger boys to drink. All efforts to ascertain where the liquor has been obtained have been unavailing. Does not every mother's heart in the land cry out against the awful traffic? Does, not this quotation show what an awful state we have fallen into since prohibition became a law, and when the boys and girls are packing flasks about in. their hip pockets and tempting tempt-ing the little tots to drink? Should not this awful thing of prohibition be repealed? But wait a minute! Just a minute! This awful quotation, showing show-ing how wicked prohibition is, and how degrading on the you;ag people, is old, taken from the official bulletin of the National W. C. T. U. of February Feb-ruary 18, 1886 more than 25 years before national prohibition. Eternal vigilance is the price of temperance. |
