Mary B. Ervin, General Secretary, Loyal Temperance Legion
The Loyal Temperance Legion (L.T.L.) was the children's branch of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (W.C.T.U.). Its slogan was "Tremble, King Alcohol, We Shall Grow Up". It published an English-language newspaper for children called The Young Crusader, which was edited for some time by W.C.T.U. president Anna Adams Gordon, a strong believer in the need to interest children in temperance at a very early age.[1]
