WHY SHE IS A REPUBLICAN

CHAMPION OF THE 12,000,000 WOMEN WORKERS GIVES REASON FOR CHOICE. The champion of the 12,000,000 women workers of the United States, and idolized by them all, Mrs. Raymond Robins’ words are worth listening to, always. And it was to find why she has aligned herself so actively with the Republican party that the question was put to her: “Why are you a .republican?” "The largest number of progressively minded men and women are in the Republican party,” answered Mrs. Robins, instantly. “They stand for justice, for forward-looking principles, for high ideals. The southern states, (jthe stronghold of the Democratic party), represents the backward group of our country in tb' issues in which I am especially .i----terested—-the enfranchisement' of women, the protection of childhood in our nation, the standardizing of industry for the b'est development of men and women workers, and public school education. Where there is republicanism there are more liberal laws, better education, higher ideals. That is why I am a r^jtiblican.”

RYAN DITCH AGAIN REVERSED

SUPREME COURT AGAIN FINDS AGAINST ERS.For the second time the Indiana supreme court has reversed the Jasper circuit court and found against the petitioners in the Ryan ditch case. The first petition for this extensive improvement contemplating the expenditure of some three hundred thousand dollars was filed hi 1909. An amended petition was filed in 1910. The lower court ordered the establishment of the improvement. This was carried to the supreme, court by the remonstrators and a decision in their favor was given. A new heading was granted and again the improvement was established by the local court. Again the remonstrators appealed, with the result indicated above. The result of the court finding cannot be determined until further particulars of the decision of the court are received.

DRY LAW GOES IF FOE SIGNS

WILSON TO DECLARE ARMY DEMOBILIZED IF HUNS SIGN, POSTPONING DRY ACT. Washington, June 20.—President Wilson has in mind the issuance of a proclamation declaring the army of the United States demobilized when Germany signs the peace treaty. Germany is expected to sign the treaty June 23. ,If she signs it on that date ,or before June 30, and the president issues his proclamation of demobilization, the result will be that prohibition win be-postponed until the constitutional amendment takes effect next January. Word from White House. This information was obtained tonight from sources close to the white house. It may be relied upon as representing the present state of the president’s mind and a certain forecast of his action unless some unforseen difficulty develops to change h» ■decision. The president is said to be actuated by a variety of motives. In the first place he is said to believe it would only be fair to the; interests affected to allow them additional time to wind up their affairs. Moreover,' such action would ease the revenue situation a k nd lighten the burden of taxation. Deny Labor Influence. Those from whom this interesting information was obtained denied the .president was being influenced by the attitude of the American Federation of Labor, which went. on record last week urging the repeal of the wartime prohibition act. It has been intimated that if the president met labor’s wishes on the subject of the prohibition legislation he would strengthen labor’s friendly feeling toward his league of nations policy.
