Greetings From Three Thousand Mem
bers of Organization In California
Almost Overcome Beloved
White Ribboner
"One thousand welcomes," "three
thousand kisses," a beautiful basket
of carnations, a poinsettla banner
and several' hundred local women
greeted Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens as
Bhe entered the auditorium of Temper
ance temple last evening.
The state executive and city feder
ation members were hostesses and the
reception in honor of the officers and
delegates of the national union was
the big social event of the convention.
Temperance temple, the home of the
|W7 C. T. U., blossomed In every nook
and corner with beautiful white chrys
anthemums and garlands of green
festooned the big auditorium. The na
tional officers were seated on the plat
form with officers of the Los Angeles
and state federations.
The evening program opened with
music by an orchestra and a prayer
offered by Mrs. C. H. Fitzgerald. Mrs.
Emily P. Boiler and Miss Mabel Whlt-
Ice sang a duet.
Mrs. Emma Cash brought greetings
as the state president and presented
to Mrs. Stevens, the national president,
in behalf of the state officers, a beau
tiful Indian basket filled with carna
tions. There are 3000 members of the
W. C. T. U. in California and Mrs.
Cash said that the president would
find 3000 kisses hidden away in th*
flowers. Mr. and Mrs. F. I. Wheat
Bang a song of greeting to the women,
composed for the W. C. T. U., and
they offered 1000 greetings. In her
response Mrs. Stevens made allusion to
these tributes, saying that it was Im
possible for her to thank the Call
fornlans.
"How can I thank you," said she,
"how can I thank you for 3000 kisses,
for all these beautiful flowers and for
1000 greetings? I can only marvel as
I look upon those who have workad,
those who have planned and those who
have achieved, before me."
Mrs. Stevens was presented with a
White satin banner ornamented with a
cluster of polnsettias as a souvenir
from the Los Angeles federation.
Greetings Prom Los Angeles
Mrs. Hester Griffith brought greet
ings from the Los Angeles federation
and presented Miss Anna Gordon with
a large bouquet of white carnations.
In acknowledgment of them Miss
Gordon declared that there was noth
ing quite like California.
"There truly must be something
about this wonderful place, perhaps
the climate. Here you women have
been working and planning for months
to bring us here, and on the night be
fore the convention you look as fresh
as if you had not done anything."
. Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman of Missouri,
national recording secretary and one
of the most popular women of the
union, was called for.
"I am going to make my speech so
short and sweet that you will all fall
in love with me," said Mrs. Hoffman,
and that Is all she said.
The local and state W. C. T. TJ. gave
a reception last evening at the home
of Dr. and Mrs. D. W. Edwards, when
Mrs. Cora E. Seberry and other na
tional officers and delegates were
guests of honor.
| Herbert R. Houghton and his mother
were host and hostess at a beautifully
appointed dinner last evening at Hotel
Pepper, when they entertained twen
ty-five of the national officers and
superintendents. Mr. Houghton had
charge of the White Ribbon special,
and the women have never ceased
their praise of him since they arrived
in IiOS Angeles. The dinner last even
ing was given as a closing affair of
the trip, and Mrs. E. M. Thatcher of
New York presented Mr. Houghton
with a pair of gold cuff links, the
gift of the women on the train, Mrs.
Los Angeles Herald.

GOTHENBURG SYSTEM OPPOSED
Mrs. Stevens, National W. C. T. U.
President, Will Discuss Question
The Gotherburg system of regulating
the sale of liquor, which has been con
sidered by prominent men of Los Ange
les does not meet with the favor of the
leaders of the W. C. T. U.
In her annual address to be given
at the opening session of the conven
tion this morning the national presi
dent, Mrs. Lillian N. M. Stevens, will
discuss the question.
Mrs. Stevens decided yesterday that
the system Is not a success, and she
believes that in many cases the sale of
liquor is only increased by government
control.
"When some philanthropic men of
Gothenburg formed a company for the
purpose of managing the liquor sale In
order that its consumption might be
less they determined that the profits
should be used not for private gain but
for benevolent purposes," said Mrs.
Stevens. "Since that time conditions
have changed and the money was ap
plied to the general taxes directly re
sulting in private gain. "At the present
time the proceeds from the sale of
liquor in Gothenburg and Stockholm
form a large factor in the city finances
and strict requirements of the law are
ignored in the same degree as are the
restrictive features of other forms of
law.
"There are six times as many arrests
for drunkenness In Gothenburg in pro
portion to the population as in London
or Liverpool.
"Monopoly does not check alcoholism
in Russia, and the temperance meeting
last June, when six thousand working
men pledged themselves to take no
drink until Russia should be free, was
the most pathetic temperance meeting
ever held. They abstained from the
use of liquor because they would not
give their money to support the govern
ment which was trampling them under
foot.
"In South Carolina,- where the dis
pensary system has been tried, drunken
ness and crime have increased and the
dispensary Is no better than a common
bar. In Europe and in America the
system has failed.
"I believe it is one of the worsx
forms of license."
All day yesterday the executive com
mittee was in session planning for the
various discussions which will come
up before the convention.
Woman's | suffrage will have : a place !
among the number. Work among
FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27, 1905.
soldiers and sailors will create much
interest as the canteen question will
again be discussed. The women be
lieve the reason the anti-canteen law
has not produced better results is be
cause the soldiers have not been given
the substitute which the promoters of
the law planned they should have—
commodious and convenient post-ex
changes to furnish amusement which
would make them forget the desire for
the canteen.
The purity work being done all over
the world along the lines which Frances
Willard laid down will be considered at
special sessions, the purity conferences
to be held every morning from 8:30 to
9:30 o'clock. The women at these ses
sions will give much time to determin
ing the best way to establish an equal
standard of purity for men and women.
Polygamy is opposed by the W. C. T.
U. as something which tends to the de
struction of the family and the home.
"Y'S" BEGIN WAR ON TOBACCO
Young Women's Branch Prepares New
Pledges for Prospective Members
Two pledges will henceforth be pre
sented to the prospective member of
the Y. W. C. T. U. She may either
sign a triple pledge against alcohol,
profanity and tobacco or a pledge
against alcohol and profanity for those
who are unwilling to decide against
tobacco. . .
This was the decision reached yes
terday at the "V" conference held In
Temperance Temple at which Miss Cora
E. Seberry the national "Y." secretary
presided.
In addition to a pledge to abstain
from the use of alcohol, profanity and
tobacco, the young women of the "V"
must also pledge themselves to use in
fluence against the U3e of any one of
the three by others.
In the discussion upon the subject
"Shall We Include Tobacco in the V
Pledge?" there were many who spoke
against such a step declaring that a
great many young women are ready to
fight the use of alcohol who are not
willing to attack the habit of smoking
of their masculine friends.
Miss Katherine Sawyer, the secre
tary for Illinois, was the leader of the
discussion and she told of many cases
In which young women had expressed a
desire to do away with alcohol but re
fused to fight against tobacco.
Miss Rose A. Davidson secretary of
the Colorado "V's" gave as the best
solution to the problem which she has'
been able to find a course of education.
"It has been our practice," she said
not to make the tobacco pledge a re
quirement, but we hope to educate
those who come in so that they will
cease to believe that tobacco may be
used without injury to the user."
"The welcoming address of the Cal
ifornia "V's" was made by the state
"V" secretary, Miss Emma Yoe and
the annual address was made by the
secretary, Miss Cora Seberry.
Miss Seberry predicts a change in W.
C. T. U. work fn the future. She de
clared that the time will come when
the "People's Christian Temperance
Union will take the place of the W. C.
T. V.,' and that the men and women
will work side by side for the cause."
The work of Miss Kara Smart who
is the missionary to Japan, sent by
the national "V" was told In an in
teresting paper, "The Girl In Japan,"
and the yearly almanac which is sold
for the benefit of Miss Smart's work
also furnished food for a talk.
Luncheon was served at noon at the
Young Women's Christian association
and the girls marched to the associa
tion rooms In a body.
Miss Anna Chase, secretary for
northern California gave an interesting
address at the afternoon session deal
ing with one "Special Need of the
West."
"College Work" was the subject of a
paper by Miss Rhena Mosher, college
lecturer of New York. Papers were
also given by Miss Florence Hammond,
secretary for Maryland, and Miss Eliz
abeth Gooskln, secretary for New Jer
sey.
