Mr. Greenstreet asked the county chairmen to reconsider his resignation. This the county chairmen refused to xio contending that Mr. Greenstreet's attitude in the first place in resigning bo that the party would not be on the defensive on account of personal charges against its nominee was the right one for the good of the party. The county chairman of Henry county alone was in favor of reconsidering Mr. Greenstreet's resignation. District chairman Leeds was then Instructed to call another congressional convention to be held at Connersvllle on September 23 at ten o'clock a. 'xn. He was ordered to call the same) 'delegates together at this convention Who participated in the previous one. Greenstreet's Letters. Mr. Greenstreet's letters accompanying his letter of resignation and his letter formally resigning follows: . New Castle, Ind., Sept. 9, 1912. Jjtudolph G. Leeds, Chairman, Richmond, Ind. My. dear Mr. Leeds: I enclose here1 with a letter resigning as the Progressive nominee of the Sixth Congressional '.District for Congress. . This letter explains itself and my action in the matter is taken solely with 'a view to the good of the Progressive .movement in the District, the success of which is far above any personal considerations of mine. Sincerely yours, J. A. Greenstreet. New Castle, Indiana, Sept. 7, 1912. Rudolph G. Leeds, Progressive Chairman 6th 3on greBsional District, ' Richmond, Indiana. Dear Sir: Since my nomination at the hands of the Sixth District Congressional Convention, held in Richmond, Indiana, on September 3rd, there have come up some charges against me in reference to my former connection with the Charter Oak Handle Company, which, on their face, would seem to place me in a discreditable position before this, the Sixth restrict. ' To the parties making the charges I suggest that if in their judgment I have injured them in any manner my! whereabouts are known, I am collectible, ' the courts are open, they have their remedy, and I invite them to come to it. 'While said charges are wholly false and malicious, and I feel are made at this time for the purpose of not only injuring me in my candidacy, but also to injure the Progressive cause, which is far more Important than my individual welfare, it wpuld be unfair on my part to continue as the Congressional candidate, since by so doing I would put the party in the position of having to defend me through the campaign against the said charges, false (and malicious though they are. I therefore desire to tender you my resignation as Congressional nominee, rnd ask that you accept the same. I am very grateful to you and to teach of the County Chairmen of the District for your assurance of your sincere belief in my integrity and of jyour willingness to defend me against tthe baseless and unjust charges that (have been made against me. I also desire to extend my most hearty and sincere thanks to my friends in the District who were responsible for my nomination, and trust "-that I may be able some time to show 'my further appreciation. I further desire to assure you that J I am taking this action "with malice ' i toward none," and hereby pledge my I support in every possible way not only (to the candidate who shall be named jiin my stead, but to the entire Progresiive ticket, from top to bottom. I am, yours very sincerely, J. A. Greenstreet. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.

NOMINEE

A SPLENDID

Is that to Convert the Old Business College into a Club House Where Business Girls Can Board and Lodge and Enjoy Themselves.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The proposition to turn the old Friends Academy buildings which has more recently ' been , used for a Business College, into a sort of club house ior girls on a basis similar to that upon which the Y. W. C. A." is conducted is an interesting one. The town needs a building of this character. . And this will be an ideal place for it since it is not often that an open situation of this sort can be secured so near the center of a city of this size. On just . what plan this : would ; be carried on is not known to the writer. But the general understanding is that it H to be a building where business women can secure board and lodging and which will offer certain accommodations provided by clubhouses of this kind. Many such institutions, founded on the best intentions possible, however, cften fail of their intent because they are administered as a "home," and those living in them as "inmates." Whether or not it is . the original idea to make it semi-philanthropic. 'that is the impression conveyed to the puWlc and, naturally, self-respecting girls do not care to be regarded as "inmates." Why the Y. M. C. A. is not so regarded and the Y. W. C. A. is, is one of those mysteries that go back to the origin of sex, perhaps. Anyway many girls dislike living in a Y. W. C. A. for the reason that they are subjected to codes of rules that are a restriction on civic liberty and infringe on individual rights. The writer remembers to have once gone to the Young Woman's Christian Association in a big city for the purpose of seeing a friend who had gone there a few. days before to stay temporarily while waiting to take a responsible position in a library. She was a young woman of culture, talent, education and fine family but concluded to go to the Y. W. C. A. un til she got her bearings. In the meantime her father had died and the writer, on a visit to the same city although in a remote suburb accompanied by her hostess, went in to town to see the young woman and i take the same train home. They went to the central building and inquired for the young woman. They were received with cold and icy stares and the information that no such person waB staying there. The writer suggested that they look round and find out since the young woman had said positively that she was. The official In charge mowed the writer down with a series of scythelike glances and a general air of preparation to call the police. Finally, however, another female ofIcial who had been lurking in the offing came forth and held a whispered conference with the haughty one. The two approached. The writer was asked to enter an inner sanctuary. She suggested her hostess come with her. But this was not permitted. So she entered this dark chamber and was there put through the third degree by the female from the offing. Minute interrogations were made as to the writer's name, place of habita tion, parents, age, affiliations and previous condition of servitude and a like series sprung on her with regard to the young woman she had gone to see. Refusing finally to submit longer to such an extraordinary proceeding she left without ceremony to be joined by her hostess, who flushed and irritated, stated that she had been subjected to a like process in the outer citadel. The two retired to the lobby and there consulted together. It was necessary to see the young woman. For it was doubtful whether or not she had received the news of her father's death. While they thus consulted they were watched through a small opening by another woman presumably a detec tive who scanned and measured the GOES TO JAIL Sheriff Steen yesterday went to Cambridge City to secure Lew Crockett, arrested by Marshal Dri6chel, of that place, on the charge of public intoxication. Crockett was arraigned Saturday before Justice of the Peace Bowermaster of Cambridge City, and was given a fine of $25 and costs. Crockett will be confined at the county jail for thirty-one days. The Flag at Trenton. The flag "that Washington had with him when he crossed the Delaware to attack Trenton" was not the "stars and stripes.' Washington crossed the Delaware in December, 1776, and the stars and stripes did not have an existence until the June of 1777, when it was voted into being by the congress. The flag that waved over General Washington on his way to and from Trenton consisted of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, as at present, with a blue canton emblazoned with the crosses of St George and St. Andrew, as In the British flag. The first time the present stars and stripes were flung to the breeze was on the day of the battle of Orlskany at Fort Stanwix, Aug. 6, 17T7. New York Amertn. Bad Shots. A certain Yankee was touring through Devonshire, and, calling at an inn, he ordered some of the famous cider. Not finding it to be what he had expected, he inquired how it was made. . "Oh," said the, publican, "we stood a barrel of water at one end of a room and threw applies at it. TUB! caused a general laugh, but the Yan&M was equal to the occasion. "iTiaal." he said, "I guess you didn't hit la very often."- ondon Ideas.

writer and her hostess the while she jotted something down on a tablet. With the sublime consciousness that she wasn't seen. Very , much like a stage ; detective who operates in full view of the audi ence although nobody on the nether side of the footlights knows he's within one thousand miles. Completely flabbergasted the writer and her hostess made for the front entrance. Out darts another female from behind a post and asks if they were looking for somebody. Certainly not, said the writer, can't you see we're riding in an airship? With which the two made haste to depart. They are, however, intercepted by the female from the offing who commands thorn to halt. Was the young woman's name so and so she asks. It is or was, replied the writer. If you will step within and leave your friend out here, she said in effect, I may be able to give you some information. Returns the writer to still another apartment. There she is confronted by yet another woman who eyes her over with an air of saying "Shoot when you are ready," and put through another catechism. Thoroughly angry the writer no longer caring to be polite told the woman, in common parlance, "what sue tnougnt aDout ner, ana tne wnoie .jetui, itmui who, i" ua.--ular, "a plenty." wun tnai me iemaies cougueu up . the young woman's address. They had had it all the time. Knew all about her. But had purposely withheld the information. And told a direct lie. Besides treating two harmless and respectable women as if they were emisarries of the white slave traffic. This is not an exaggeration. Because it happened. And this is the sort of thing that has made the Y. W. C. A. for one thing obnoxious to the very class of persons it is designed to attract. An art student once told the writer that she departed from a Y. W C. A. building in another metropolis because a board director, or some omciai Doay, visited the building at stated intervals ranged the eating rooms and watched the girls at their "feeding time" as though they were animals at a circus and later, went through the building, going into every room, poking round in closets and bureau drawers and generally treating the girls as though they were inmates of a state correc tional institution. Now these things should be avoided. It is not the purpose nor intent of the Y. W. C. A. to be conducted on such a plan. For it is supposed to be organized on exactly the same procedure as the V. M. C. A. which is one of the most beneficent of modern social institu tions and which gives to its frequent ers all the advantages of a private ciub-house. It is an honor to belong to the Y. M. C. A. It should be a similar honor to belong to the Y. W. C. A. But for some occult reason it is not. And it may be put down to the lack of diplomacy, oftener than not, of the women who run it. Nothing better than this project to convert this ideally located building into a club-house for business girls has ever been begun in Richmond. It is a splendid idea and should be carried to execution. But the public should not become imbued with the idea that it is a "home" for "inmates." But a building, long needed here, where business girls could lodge and beard. And live. That is, have those combined attractions of home and club-house characteristic of buildings of this nature. CAMP LIFE POPULAR That camp life, even for a week, is exhilarating sport, is attested by members of the Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pythias lodge who have returned to this city after camping a short distance north of Germantown The camp was opened September 8. Most of the one hundred members of the Uniform Rank spent at least one or two days at the camp. A large number were at the camp during the entire week.

PRESIDENT KELLY'S NAME MEtlTIOIiEu As Successor to Timothy Nicholson for Clerk of Yearly Meeting.

Local Friends believe that Robert L: Kelly, president of Earlham college, will be nominated by the special committee appointed last year by the Indiana Yearly meeting to name a successor to Timothy Nicholson, clerk of the body for many years. Mr. Nicholson said today that he would not divulge the name of the man selected by the committee, and resident members of the special committee refused to discuss the question. That President Kelly would be an ideal man for the post, held with distinction for many years by Mr. Nicholson, is generally conceded by Friends, and the likelihood of his name being selected by the committee is granted. President Kelly's commanding position as an educator and church worker, it is argued, make him an acceptable candidate for the position of clerk. Mr. Nicholson to Open Meeting. Although the resignation of Mr. Nicholson goes into effect with the present session of the Yearly meeting, he will open the gathering, and his successor will not be known until Wednesday. The special committee will lay the name of the new clerk before the representatives Wednesday and their action will be final as to the successor. A year ago Mr. Nicholson informed the meeting that he would retire at the 1912 session, and at his suggestion a 8peciai committee was appointed to recommend a successor. Altnougn t Mr. Nicholson will retire as clerk, he j wlu not iose nis commanding DOsition in the meeting. He is regarded as one of the leading Friends in America. Sessions of the meeting on ministry and oversight will occupy the attention of the delegates Tuesday. This year's meeting is the ninety-seeond annual session of the Indiana Yearly meeting. It is now the largest body of Quakers in the world. May Sever Relation. Local Friends hope that the question of severing relations with the Anti-Saloon league will not come up at this session. The Western Yearly meeting, in session at Plainfield, al most by unanimous vote, severed its reiatlon wlth the league. Mr. Timothy Nicholson is president of the State Anti-Saloon league. He said today that it is difficult to forecast what a body as large as the Indiana Yearly meeting will discuss and consider and that the severance of the relation between the meeting and the league may be prsented by some delegate.

Not infrequently upon arising in the morning he would sit down on his bedside and remain there for hours without dressing himself, occupied with some interesting investigation which had fixed his attention. On a tablet in the room in which Newton was born at Woolsthorpe manor house is inscribed the celebrated epitaph written by Pope: Nature and nature's laws lay hid In night. God said, "Let Newton be." and all waa light. Sir Isaac told Bishop Pearce that he had spent thirty years at intervals in reading over all the authors or parts of authors which could furnish him with materials for his "Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms" and that he had written that work sixteen times with his own hand.

ROOSEVELT EXPECTS TO CARRY MAJORITY WESTERN STATES

SAN FRANCISCO, CaL, Sept. 16. "It looks like a clean sweep for the West for the Progressives." That was Colonel Roosevelt's conident prophecy Sunday in adverting to the political situation west of the Rocky Mountains as it has impressed him in his coast-to-coast swing. The former President allowed it to be known hat he is under no delusion. He realizes that the split in the Republican party in many of the Western States involves a hard fight to carry them for the Progressive ticket But he believes that the Wilson candidacy is steadily losing ground; that the Taft candidacy is in no sense threatening, and that the Progressive move is gaining force apace. Roosevelt thinks the Progressives will surely carry these states of the cluster he has touched in his Western tour: California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Minnesota, Iowa,- North Dakota and Missouri. He calculates that with bitter campaigning they will gather in Wisconsin. Nevada and Montana. In Ms prophecy he does not include Utah, where the Progressives admit they do not expect to win. Progressives Confident. In every one of the Western States Invaded by the former President he has been told by the Progressive leaders that the third party sentiment is widespread and that by November, Wilson will be eliminated as a dangerou8 fact0r so far as California, Washington, Oregon, North Dakota and iowa are concerned. The Colonel undorstands that only by a revulsion of sentiment against him between now and election can he lose any of them. Roosevelt feels placidly certain that he can get 40 of the 47 electoral votes of the Rocky Mountain and Central States visited on this trip. These he figures upon as offsetting possible loss of New York State, although the Colonel does not admit that he expects New York to go against him. He considers that the nomination of Oscar Straus for governor of New York has greatly strengthened the Progressive prospects there. When he gets back East the ex-PreBident will devote one week to stumping New York. Ten days will be divided between Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio. He intends to put in a week in the New England - States and the balance of the time up to election day will be occupied in the East in going wherever it is considered he is most needed. Betting Odds Against Him. The campaign will be wound up in New York City the night before election. "While Roosevelt is hopeful of win ning the election, the betting odds are against him. The private odds today are 2 to 1 in favor of Wilson's election. On Taft the betting is 5 to 8, while the bookies ask 3 to 1 against Roosevelt. Colonel Goes To Church. Roosevelt spent Sunday resting up after the feverish welcome given him Saturday night by San Francisco. He expressed himself as immensely tickTo relieve your EYE STRAIN, let us fit your eyes with glasses that are "comfortable," "neat," and "up-to-date."

In the afternoon he called upon Benjamin Ide Wheeler, President of California University, who helped whip into shape the progressive planks upon the industrial problem. The former President left last night for a day's run through Southern California, during which he will speak at Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. REV. DINSMORE WILL OPEN THE MEETING Rev. Carlos M. Dinsmore, pastor o? the First Baptist church of Anderson. Indiana, will address the opening meeting of the Baptist Brotherhood at the First Baptist church Tuesday evening. The Brotherhood in Mr. Dinsmore's church at Anderson is said to be one of the strongest organizations of its kind in this part of the country due largely, to his peculiar ability In work among men. He will speak to the men on "Our Divine Assignment." Every one interested in men's work ought to hear him. All men and boys are invited.
