We know that the law might do much, now left undone, to
raise the moral tone of society and render vice difficult
We have no power to prevent these great iniquities
beneath which the whole world groans, but you have the
power to redeem the honor of the nations from an
indefensible complicity.
We therefore come to you with the united voices of
representative women of every land, beseeching you to
protect our homes by the total prohibition of these curses
of civilization throughout all the territory over which your
government extends.
- Frances Willard, 1888
