WHAT DOES RUDY MEAN? Rudy Leeds editor of tne Rich

mond Bulladium and the Bull Mooe Indianapolis Star do not agree on the Maine republican victory. The Star says the bull moose helped the repub

licans to victory. Rudy Leeds says not, however. He said last uight:

The truth Is the Main Progressives in their determination to administer another severe beitlng to the Republcan machine, which for so many years controlled the government of the northeastern Mate, decided to support the candidacy of Governor Plaisted for re-election and all through the campaign have been fighting sturdily In the Democratic ranks. If Plaisted Is re-elected it will he as much a victory for the Progressives as it will be for the Democrats. In other words. Rudy it was a re-

publican victory and a democratic-

bull moose defeat.

THE CANCEROUS DIVES.

In every community there are men

who profess to take the liberal view

of segregated vice. They exclaim

with much gusto that a red-light district is a necessity. They talk about

protetcing the Innocence of the worn

en of the community from the beasts

which stalk about In human form.

And In nine out of ten cases the

author of these liberal views is the

man who, though married, is a pa

tron of these resorts and deliberately

exposes his wife and entire family to

the plagues of the district. .

There is some question as to

whether or not red-light districts arc

protection to the virtue of women

and girls. About the second house

built in Gary was an assignation

house and there have been dozens of

them there ever since the city was

was founded and yet from the date

of the death of little Ella Schroeder

five years ago, until only a month

ago when five year old Mary Grub

was murdered by a fiend in human

form; the virtue of women in Gary-

has never been particularly safe from

attack.

And Gary has had more disgraceful

attacks on women on its records than

any other city in the region. Yet

Gary IS FULLY PROTECTED BY

ITS OPEN AND NOTORIOUS RED

LIGHT DISTRICT.

But assuming that a red-light dls

trict is a necessity let's look at the

train of evils that must be embraced

with it; that a community mus

stand for if it wants them-

1. The certain corruption of the

police force and the city officials.

2. The spread of disease, like

wildfire, over the entire community

3. The spread of the habit of us

ing arugs, wmcn is Becoming very

general in this community.

4. The disruption of scores of families of men who squander their money and breed disease in their own homes as a result of visiting these places. 5. The certainty that dives will attract to your city, jail birds, pimps, degenerates, perverts, criminals and murderers.

THE HOT WEATHER. These hot days must be pretty trying on the kids in school for they are so for the grown up folks. Maybe it would be a good idea not to start school wessions until the middle of September. As It is the first part of the month is a warm one at the least. School openings when the thermometer hovers near the 100 mark are not very auspicious.

real progress in the development of boys.

the representative form of government; which is still in the process of evolution.

But Roosevelt is also a practical

politician and it is notorious that he never permits his altruistic sentiments to interfere with his ideas of the way to get results.

His amajing disfranchisement of

the southern negro is a point in

question. There Is no question that

the Mississippi negroes were the only

regularly elected delegates from the state for, according to Associated Press despatches, the white delegates

were selected in a convention from which negroes were barred.

Now Theodore Roosevelt is enough

of a politician to see that It would bo

ridiculous to divide up the southern negro vote between the Ktand-pat and the progress republicans and

leave the whites to vote the demo

cratic ticket.

He preferred to take his chances on

lining up the southern democrats

for the progressive cause on tha plea that sectionalism no longer ex

isted than it would to attempt to get

the support of the negroes and the

few whites who were fattening on republican patronage.

He knew very well that the only way to get any appreciable number

of southern whites to vote the pro

gressive ticket was to repudiate the

negroes as political factors. In short he agreed to the disfranchisement of the negro for political purposes. The man who would have himself known as the second emancipator, the man who would emancipate us from the slavery of the- bosses, the great altruist now agrees to the disfranchisement of one half of the citizens of Mississippi as a matter of political expediency. Can we trust such a man, a man crazed by the lust for power, with the administration of the affair of this nation? .

The poem was written Inn: agn for Daniel s Rand. Loulavtllrt, Ky., hy P. P. Bliss. I thought It would be very appropriate to republish it and rededicate

SOME T1UTH IN THIS. To the Editor Times:

I wonder if there are other women

as disgusted as I am with all the sen

satlonal sermons Chat sensational ministers have been preaching about the

present day tight skirttf the women are

wearing. One In Minneapolis even

went so far as to take pictures of

women on the streets of that city and

enlarge them on a screen to illustrate lils sermon on Sunday night. Now I am a woman and as certainly ashamed of some of. the women who appear on

the streets in such extreme clothes, but they are seeking the attention of men and if men paid no attention to them they would soon change their style. To my mind, the minister who "plays to the gallery" and seeks notoriety In a sensational sermon of this kind puts himself quite on a level ,-lth the poor

ti in a lies no difference what our misguided woman who seeks notoriety

ideas of the position of the negro 'in wearing sensational clothes. I think

voter may be. We may be of the opinion that the negro vote ought to be eliminated by an educational qualification for suffrage. The rights of the negro and those of full citizenship. And Theodore Roosevelt, is denying them their rights. He is doing this in defiance of the promptings of his conscience

whlch.tells him that he is perpetrat

ing a great wrong in the interests of

political expediency. Under those circumstances can we

still believe that Roosevelt is sincere?

the minister who likened the present

tight skirt to a fig leaf is a3 vulgar as the poor women who wear the tight skirts. I have no patience with men who try to put the blame for some of the atrocious crimes they commit on the tight skirts worn by women. It certainly is not worthy of the stronger sex. 1 should hate to admU I had no better control of my mind If I were a man. Let men stop showing their preference for women who dress In extreme

A MORNING PRAYER. Give me morning courages the courage that fronts my day of toil with zeal and cheerfulness. Throughout this day of task and anxious thought let me go, each hour a smile upon my lips and hoie within my heart, so that at eventide I may look back upon a day of honest effort worthily essayed. And, whether I shall succeed or fail, bring me to look forward to another day when I shall try again. And Should 1 make a new friend today may I be worthy of his friendship, and the worthy friends I have may I hold fast. Help me that I may keep the open vision of the perfect life, that I may pattern my imperfect life thereby. Let me hold high and far advanced the banner of my manhood. Let not fenr have dominion over me. And may all hatred and all envy de

part far from me. Help me to.be of

good cheer and generous and frank and seemly. May I live today, because there may be no tomorrow. Let me give today, because tomorrow I may not have wherewith to give. Let me love today, for tomorrow my loved one may have gone away. And I pray ' This day let mo share whatever of good may come to me with those who make their stormy pass of human life along with me. And If sorrow snail come to me may I find my fellow travelers to the bar full of sympathy and helpfulness. And, above all else, I pray May I be this day, and every day, an

optimist, going cheerfully forward with faith and zest, so that some sorrowing soul, seeing my shining face, may take hope nnd heart again. And these things 1 prayThat I may not forget and that I may do that which I ought to do and leave undone that which I ought not to do. And bring me to the end of this good day and all my days without fear and without reproach, honest and undeflled and satisfied. This is my prayer. Amen.
