Maquoketa Excelsior, May 10, 1895 

From the Wyoming Journal's report of the W. C. T. U. convention held in that 
city last week we clip: Rev. Millikan of Anamosa delivered the address of the 
evening. He is a fine talker, but the kernel of his theme was that temperance 
was the result of education and breeding; that so long as corn grew, 
intoxicating liquors would be manufactured and by some people used as a 
beverage. However, he believed in the educational work of temperance beginning 
in the fathers and mothers, running through the nursery, kindergarten, public 
schools, churches and life of the individual, line upon line, precept upon 
precept, to the attainment of that perfection possible on earth prior to the 
chaining down of Satan, but his lecture gave little hope, if any, of absolute 
prohibition thid side of the Millenium.
