of Governor Stonlll and updated that ho
was a sincere and consistent prohibition

Irrepirably damage the cause In Knna,

Iteolvpl, That this convention desires
by Its at lion to emphasise and aicelerate
Hip ommou teinperatu'e sentiment of the
state -that Is that geneml opinion among
all good men, which, at tho last, creates
and maintains nubile onlnion.

the htim m uulato of the constitution, la

the sale of Intoxicating diinks, we sen
unmlbtakalilo evidence that tho people of
Kansas will never return to tho drink

on the high anil advanced piano of tho
total, honest suppression of the saloon and
nil its dtie concomitants.

with nil tho means in our power the teach

Omrrimr's VlnrrllPs Aildrc.
"Mr. Vresidpnt1 I totiRrtlulale jou Upon
the larg-p number thnt have gathered here
mi our national nnnlvernry to take coun
sel together as to the Iwst means to bo
fed to advance th muse of temperance,
nnd I thank vml, .Mr President, for jour
kind Invitation lo appear before this body
nnd express my views, which I will very
briefly .lo.
"There Is one fffllure of the question up
on which we nil nrep, and that Is the ter
rible evils growing out of the Use of In
toxloatlng liquors Thev nro too familiar
to us to need nnv description, or to re
quire thnt nnv Mine should be consumed In
their discussion No towtuo can exnKger
nte, no pen can portray the misery nnd tho
suffering which follow from Intemperance.
Every village has its heartbroken wives
and lis worse than oiphati children. We
nre all familiar with the sad sight or ruined
homes an I broken hearts. The iiblet In
tellects linvv been dimmed: the brightest
hopes have bepii blastp.1; the happiest
homes hive been rendered desolate by
this terrlbln evil, and the question that
confronts us to-day Js ns to the best menus
to be employed to duco thee evils and,
If possible, entirely nblllente them. There
can be no nobler, grander work to be cn
Riged In than the work of stalng the
ravnges of Intemperance, of bringing again
sunshine nnd Jov lo the darkened home,
of soothing tho widow's woe nnd drvlng the
orphan's tear It l.s in undertaking of
great moment. The dlllleultles surround
ing It are not cnslly overcome. The one
end we nil desire Is to restrict the ue of
Intoxicating liquors to the lowest possible
limit, and as far ns possible binlsh them
forever from our Rt ite.
All Aetll l I'lillillttnii.
"The question confronting us to-day Is
not a thvorv : It Is nn aetuil condition. If
I hid the power I would binlsh from the
world nil Intoxicating liquors, but I have
not thu power and the question for me to
decide Is hon call I best direct mi efforts
to diminish their ue It we could control
the appetites of men. It would be a very
easy matter to leform them Whntever
tends to elevate and rellne men, whatever
leads theni to higher and purer assocl i
tlons, helps to draw them away from the
evil inlluences of appetite, and strengthens
nd ennobles them Our churches, our
schools, our public libraries, are all grind
helps In lifting men above the temptations
that assail them And the foundation must
be laid, the grand work comnii need. In
our churches and our school" Whit we
should aim to do to-day Is to consider the
best way to advance the ciuse of tem
perance, and I trust that by a calm and
dlspisslonato dlscuMon of the question we
may at least come nearer together upon
some common bisls.
Total Abstinent., (lie Olill afe Plan.
"Uellevlnp, .us I do, th it the only safety
for tho individual Is In total abstinence
from the Use of Intoxicating liquor. I feel
that he who exerts the most influence in
lifting others up. in Inducing them to Join
the- ranks of totil alutlndiee, Is doing
most In advancing the temperance cause
'The great question which Is aglt.ttlug
the civilized world to-day Is whit legist i
Hon Is best adapted to promote this end.
While I do not believe that any pirtlcular
fonn of legislation Is adapted to all condi
tions, and would be advisable In nil places,
I am llrmly convinced that for this state,
undei Its present conditions, with Its pres
ent .idvanccd Ideas upon the temperanco
question, thnt prohibitory laws are the
wksest and best.
Nnl s H, tut moils 'I I'rtns.
"Hut prohibition and temperance arc not
sjnonvmous terms. The former Is the only
means to nslit ill .securing the latter. If
the sale of Intoxicating liquors can be pre
vented In our state, the temptation for their
use is i irgeiv removed uur state pnecu
In Its constitution the prohlbltor) amend
ment because a I irge pan of our people
believed In temperance. Thev wore not
made temperate by the piohlbltory law,
but they mule the prohlbltoty law becauso
they were temperate To make that law
clfective, to aid In retaining It on our stat
ute books to seciue nn earnest cnfoieement
of It, our people must be educated In the
true principles of teinpeiance. There must
be a teal. -Incerc deslic on the pan it tho

cm this be aecomnlKlied? How can the
people be aioiretl to a reali.-ing sense of
their duties and their responsibilities In
this matter.' I answer by a thorough or

over the &tate.

"Let the true friends of temperance form

eveiy county in the state, let (neh county
organization labor for the faithful hi
fotcement of the lavs In Its count, but It
should not be content with tho work of

of his, life said to mo not very long ago:
