MES NATION'S CRUSADE.

Mrs Nation on her Methods. The following is from the Topeka State Jowrnal :— Sunday night the Ohurch aervicfi was bo deterrent to enthusiasm. Fre quent and prolonged outbursts of ap plause greeted all the spankers Mrs Nation was escorted to the platform while Mr Rankin was speak ing, He called her the ' bravest woman of the twentieth centory. 1 llf Governor Stanley bad one littlo piece of Mrs Nation's backbone ' the reat of his remark was drowned in the thunder of appUnse that greeted ihw sully of Bankia'a Mrs Nation explained her work. She is not proficient as * a public speaker. Although voluble, she is at a loss for a smooth flow of words and stmrubles frequently in her diction • I am a law abiding person/ she said among other things, •We women malts take tip the work of crashing the ealoon because the men have not done their duty. You men, have rocks in your hands and you must throw them. You won's give as women a vote. I have fought the saloon for years as other people do. Still wives and mothers see their homes wrecked and their sons rained. So I go out with my hatchet because it is the only way Blf a woman, sitting by the fireside with her children, sees a viper ready to bite them, or a mad dog, she will kill it. She will protect her own. That it what we are doing i A wale brute wouldn't treat a fe male brute as I have been treated in this very city. I say a brute beast in the field would not attack one of his kind as I have been attacked and beaten i *Tbe murder shopa do their oioßt 'harm on women. They are the enemy's } of women's virtue; lam a physician Mid I know how the poison of liquor works its w%y out In disease and is hereditary,' . Th© game journal also said : — Mrs Carrie Nation attended the ' meeting of the State Temperance Union st the Auditorium, and at the ' •nnoQDcement that 117 dols bad been s raised to buy a gold medal for her, she •roae and said :— 4 Friends, I appre- * ■date that badge just as much as though I had it on, and was wearing it bow . But I don't want you to give > It to me. The money can bs used to < tetter advantage. 1 have the sympathy i that would go with the badge and I ' would rather the money would ba put 1 to some good use rather than have it in < a medal that I would hays to keep wrapped op in a napkin. I would rather ae© ife used to pay the attorney's fees when I was in gaol at Enterprise." At this point it waa suggested that flit be given something that would cost only a few dollars. 'Give her i little hatchet,' someone jthouted. "Well, if you must give me some tlting,' Mrs Nation said, 'give me some little memento that will cost a dollar or a dollar and s hilf.' Just before the close of the meeting • call was made for Mrs Nation to ■peak. She responded:—'My deer friend*,' the said, 'I am very snxious to say something this evening. I was anxious to speak this afternoon. Frienda 1 have been to hell and heard all the arguments of the devil about the liquor traffic, and when I hear a msn repeat ing them I feaow where they come from. A sa«n said to me the other day, 'Why don't you use moral suasion ? 'Why/ I answered, the devil has * cornar on moral suasion. He has a monopoly on It. The oely thing he baa not got a corner en in hatchets and stones.' The devil will not let the officers undertake a practical administration, bat he will gay to them, 'Doo't do anything that frill be to the harm of the party ; that will bring the party ioto disgrace. 1 I want the truth brought oat I am * woman an! because of that fact I am going to take some privileges, lam a woman that his been trampled on and I think I deserve the right. When I see s man or a eet of men dodging facts. I •punk oat, for when thay do tlodge tha fact fthsreis soowfefaing wrong in Den mark. You »ay think this is the madsetsof 'a crazy woman, 1 and here Mrs Nation proved her knowledge of Shakespeare by quoting from Hamlet, •If this be madness, then there is method in If Oa another occasion Mra Nation dancrihed hsr first raid, She aaid t'* I look my husband's cane and wrapped A piece of atrip iron around the end so lhafe I could wield it with more effect. I drove from my home to Kiowa where h bad before warned the joiatist* to desist. I got there in the evening, fast ma the lights were being lit. I seemed four bottles of malt to tee if the Joint kenpera were "really idling intoxicating liquors. The next miornieg I took these bottles because I could handle them well aad they wers strong, «nd wrapped them up in bandies with brickbats and other missile*, and carried them in my arms, io «a to not attract much attention and visited one of the joints. And apon entering I told the jointist that m he had not taken heed of the warn ing I had given h|m earlier that I was going to wreak my vengeance on the place, whereupon I broke the place up with my missiles. I then left there and went to another place so that I could gab my work done before the jaews had time to spread. The next place was already closed up, and I then went to the finest saloon iv the town. A young boy stood behind the bar, and 1 called for Mm to come from behind the bar ; that bis mother had not raised Jbim to be a barkeeper. I had only one brickbat and I threw it into the plateglass mirror, and it fell to the shelf breaking a stack of glasses, etc. I saw an ivory ball laying on the bil liard table beside me and I picked it npftnd threw it with »11 my might against the mirror and it smashed another large glass. " I tell you, ladies, you don't know bow much foy you will have until you hegfc to smash, smash, emaih. It is wonderful." Th© preliminary step* were taken to organise ft °*nc' °* women to make a tbosftigb 3nc* united effort to rid Topeka©! the Joints. The orgattitatiaa warf 0 he completed at a regular mm

meeting which was to be addressed by Mrs Nation at the Aaditoriam the following Saturday night. Her husband was asked to explain th« legal points and he gave a brief review of the cases and mentioned that it would require about 500dols to fight the cases.
