Temperance Pledge and Moral Appeal Column
A moral temperance piece edited by A C Wank urges nationwide prohibition of intoxicating liquors. It cites religious and civic leaders, quotes John G Whittier, and cites a New York Tribune view on moderate drinking as a threat to youth. It includes a Catholic women's abstinence pledge and a harsh critique of liquor dealers.
