ADVOCATES EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN TALK BEFORE CONVENTION

u . j. W. Trail m Says Na tion Exists Half Drunk and Half Sober. CIGARETTES STILL SOLD Twenty Oratorical Contests field in Wayne County Last Year. "A nation cannot exist half drunk and half sober," said the Rev. Samuel W. Traum addressing the county convention of the W. C. T. U. at the United Brethren church yesterday afternoon. The best citizenship he said must be built upon a foundation of sobriety. A misconception of what constitutes the state, and the double standard of morality for men and women work hand in hand with the liquor traffic to keep the country from realizing the ideals of . good citizenship, Rev. Traum said. "Statecraft is a science and an art," he continued. "Science consists in seeing things as they are, the scientist does not create. Art consists in fashioning things into what they ought to be. Depends on Conception. "Viewing statecraft from the scientific angle, if we Bee things falsely, we will arrive at wrong conclusions. Much depends upon our conception of what constitutes a state. It is composed wholly of the male element. Can we reach the best form of citizenship so long as we are conducting the state on this basis? The last session of our legislature ruled the women out of citizenship. "They ruled that the woman by my side had no right to express herself regarding things that pertain to the rearing of her children. These rights they delegated to me, supposed to be her superior. We can not realize the fullest meaning of the state as long as we view it in this light. The enfranchisement of women is bound to come. "We have too long conducted the state on the artificial distinction between what is secular and what is sacred. It too often happens that men who follow the teachings of God are not available for the high places of service. Until the state recognizes this we can not realize the best in citizenship. As we observe falsely, bo we live wrongly -Doubn Standard Remains." " "Then there is the double standard. The penitent prodigal son returning to the home is welcomed with open arms, and the fatted calf is killed for him. But for the prodigal daughter there is no welcome home, she is left to fight out her life alone. Only Christ holds out his arm to her. Until we realize this and give her a chance another of the perils hindering the welfare of the state confronts us." "Abraham Lincoln once said, 'A nation can not exist half slave and half free.' I think I can paraphrase this and say that a nation can not exist half drunk and half sober. The best citizenship must be built on a foundation of sobriety." "To correct these mistakes we must see things as they are, and to see them (Continued on Last Page) "WIFE SUPPER" GETS FINfFORJSSAULT Wife Takes Umbrage at Husband's Love Advances. . "Wife slapper" was the term ap plied tiRay Jackson, colored, who was j fined $1 ahd costs in police court to-; day for assault and battery on his j wife. The assault was provoked last j night by a tardy supper, the defend-1 ant asserted. He was arrested this ( morning by Patrolman Vogelsong. The : fine was paid. Mrs. Jackson said her husband does not beat her, but punishes her by slapping, which she says is more painful when applied by her husband's methods than actual beat-lnff.

Favors Anti- Treating; Make Drunkless City

An antl-treatlng ordinance for saloons is favored by B. A. Kennepohl, president of the board of works, and a saloon owner for several years, the legality of such a law is questioned by the official. Mr. Kennepohl believes saloon keepers would not be unfavorable to such an ordinance which would prohibit the buying of drinks in quantities of more than one at a time. This would prevent "treating," which is assigned as the prime cause of drunkenness. Kennepohl says Richmond could be made a "drunkless" city with such an ordinance In effect. That this city has less drunkenness for the population, is the asserton of the police who say that Richmond is elngularly free from intemperance. No Ban On Drinking. They assign this to the fact that Richmond is a "wet" town and that there is no ban on drinking. Men are able to drink what they want while in a "dry" town, whisky drinking is almost general and becomes a habit, he ays. Mr. Kennepohl asserts that the saloon keepers in Richmond are law jlibidins as a rule. "Many saloon keep

The committee on public service of the West Richmond Improvement association was instructed to confer with the water works company and have the holes made by excavating on the national road between Seventh and Eighth streets repaired and the highway there covered with a tarvia binding. In the event that the water works company refuses to repair the road this committee will order the board of works to have the job done and then take action to collect from the water works company. Other streets on the West side in bad condition ordered renaired: Fifth street from Pearl to Lincoln: South D street from Earlham College to the new school on South West Second street. The latter was ordered graded, graveled, curb and gutter and sidewalks. No action was taken on the matter of a police partol, some members urging the motorcycle as a means of catching violators of the speed ordinance. However, the speed ordinance committee will meet the first of the week and adopt some plans of remedying the evil which terrorizes West Richmond. The speed ordinance should be strictly enforced by the police department was the unanimous expression of the association. To Hold Factory.

"They are willing to abide by the laws and I believe they would assist in enforcing an anti-treating ordinance. The saloon men know that treating is the cause of most drunkenness." Peculiar American "Honor. The official says that this Is due to a peculiar American "honor." If one of a crowd of persons "treats," the others feel bound by that "honor" to also buy drinks, he says. "On my last visit to Germany," said Kennepohl, "I was surprised at the system there. On my first visit, it was a custom in my home town for a crowd of men to enter a saloon, one would buy a large mug of beer and the whole crowd would drink from this. This treating would go around the crowd. Buy Own Drinks. "On my last visit there, I found that the men bought their own drinks and paid for them. Four men could then enter a saloon and drink one or two mugs of beer, while here, if four men enter a saloon, it is invariably the rule that they drink four drinks."

Martin H. Glynn, acting governor of New York, who will become governor In Jact if the high court of Impeachment sustains the assembly's charges against Sulzer. is a mild appearing man. But his appearance doesn t reflect his manner. He is a fighter and just about the livest live wire that has ever decorated the lieutenant-governor's chair. On August IS, Attorney-General Thomas Carmody made public an opinion in which he held that Sulzer had been removed from office by the impeachment and that Glynn was now acting governor. Until that time. Glynn had hesitated to announce himself governor, but he then proceeded to do so, and made a demand upon Sulzer for the great seal of the state.

3 MILE LAW HELD TO BE THE ENEMY

OF City Engineer Charles Says It is Necessary to Change Statute. CITES HIS REASONS Permits Reckless Expendw tures for Good Roads and Burdens Taypayers. City Engineer Charles, who hag mcde a study of the roads que t ton for a number of years, today stated It would be unwise, in his opinion, for Wayne county to embark on a iwrma nent roads Improvement policy so long as the three mile gravel road law remained on the statute books in its present form. He also stated that In his opinion it would be unwise to attheir maximum efficiency because it would be more expensive than a policy of paving the principal highways. Mr. Charles says that the best and most economical system for road building Is to construct principal highway of concrete or brick, the former material being preferable, in his opinion, because it is the least expensive and as durable as brick. However, he stated, under such a good roada system permanent improvements on the principal highways should be made gradually through an extended period of years, so that the cost would be minimized and work no hardship on the taxpayers. The system of taxation for building such roads should also b radically changed from the method provided in the three mile law, he said. Cites Best Taxing System. Under the present system the taxpayers of the township or the townships in which a road is constructed meet the entire expense, those Indirectly bene ted paying as much toward the improvement as those directly benefited. Mr. Charles says a : graduated taxing system should be expense. Illustrating why It would be imprac tical to Inaugurate a permanent roada Improvement policy under the three mue act he pointed out that it con,aIn provision for the maximum onnf nf hIMin. r .nnm If the county government had the authority to dictate the amount of road building in the county each year a policy for the gradual paving of the principal highways would be far the. most satisfactory and economical. said Mr. Charles, "but the commissioners have no such authority. Under the three mile law fifty or more people can petition for a three mile every road petitioned for under this law is ordered. Where the Danger Lies. He pointed out that where It might be wise to only construct a few miles of paved highways in one year any number of road petitions under the three mile act might be presented the same year, forcing up the tax rates In' (Continued on Page Three.)
