Think About This

A notion that the struggle is about to come to a squalid end a stalemate is a mere dream. Ex-Premier Asquith. Congress Should Stay on Jol) Hysterical denunciation of the twelve senators who by filibustering prevented the passage of President Wilson's armed neutrality bill, -will change to approval of their wisdom and admiration for their courage when the people really understand what the president wanted. But for the filibuster the bill would have passed and President Wilson would have been dictator of the United States until the next congress convened ten months hence in December. Under the constitution our government is divided into three branches, the executive or president, the legislative or congress and the judiciary

or supreme court. President Wilson proposed that the legislative branch should surrender its power to him for ten months and a large majority of our 'senators and representatives; possibly willing and anxious that he should alone shoulder the tremendous responsibilities confronting the nation, would have given him this great and unconstitutional power but for the filibuster. In such times as these congress should, remain in session. That body alone has the constitutional right to declare war. Therefore, congress should remain on the job and keep in close touch with all the moves on which hinge war or peace.

ment, what factors women will become in shaping the political complexion of the city, county, state and nation.

Seeking this knowledge, women are studying the question from all angles. They are asking their husbands, fathers and brothers to explain "politics." They want to know how candidates are nominated, elected, or defeated. This .attitude of mind impresses us as being the most vital and important phase of equal suffrage.

How many young men take this deep interest in the first ballot they cast? How many approach their majority with the feeling that it confers upon them the high privilege of helping elect the management of the city, .county, state and national governments ? How many of them take one-half of the conscientious interest which this vast afmy of womefli is showing? Very few, indeed.

The women will become important factors in the politics of Richmond and of Wayne county for two very important reasons: . First The right of women to vote will react on the men who seek election. Better men will seek political preferment, because women' not only will refuse support to bad candidates, but also will fight them openly and fearlessly. A woman has a high sense of right and wrong. Hereafter candidates for office will be held up

before this searchlight. A dirty moral spot will be enough to defeat tne aspirant. Political leaders in Wayne county . cannot blink that fact. The days are gone forever when political astuteness will be the potent factor in an election. A candidate with a flaw in his character may de

ceive himself into believing that he has lined up a. wonderful organization, but the results on elec

tion day will show that women respect character

more than they recognize organizing ability.

A Serial in Four Parts

The Forgotten Wedding

By OLIVE WADSLEY, author of: "Beyond Youth's Paradise," Life's Perfect Gift," "The Real Thing."

Patriotic Week This week has been set aside for a renewal of our love for our country. The city has been called on to give a little time daily to a consideration of patriotism. Citizens are asked to accept a new baptism of the spirit of loyalty. No king or emperor has commanded them to love their country, pay homage to its flag, salute its ruler. The representatives of the people, sitting in the legislative and executive departments of our community, have asked us to rekindle the fire of patriotism on the altar of loyalty. When a free people in a free country set aside a week for patriotic purposes, Old Glory ought to take on deeper meaning and greater importance

for every one of us. Our flag is a symbol of the greatest political freedom any people has enjoyed on the face of the globe. Our flag emerged from a war that brought about the first constitution in which free men, without the dictates of king or kaiser, set forth the principles under which they wanted to tc governed. Our flag has always stood for Liberty, Equality, Justice. We are in a momentous crisis. Loyalty and patriotism are needed now as they were never needed before. The sentiment of Patriotic Week should strike a ready response in our souls. If each of us does nothing more than to ponder the priceless principles of free government for a few minutes each day, the week will not have been in vain and the movement without results.

Secondly Women form opinions and reach

conclusions by intuition. Men do it by a process of reasoning. Nine times out of ten a woman's spontaneous intuition is nearer right than a man's laborious reasoning. Apply this wonderful, God-given gift tf woman to her choice of political candidates. A "slick arid smooth" politician, arguing on street corners will fool the men, but he cannot deceive the intuition of the good mothers, sisters and wives of the city. Not only will they detect his worthlessness, but they will be brave enough to do what most men hesitate in doing, tell him so to his face.

The influence at the polls of the good men of this community will be increased by just as many women who votei for their ballot will be cast for righteousness.

We will admit without argument that women will be influenced in their voting by men. But we also know that bad men will be able to influence only a few women, while hundreds of good women will be influenced by hundreds of good men. An undesirable citizen may deceive his sister and mother into voting wrong, but he will not succeed in deceiving the girl or her mother across

the street. And the chances are that his sister!

and mother will rely on their own judgment when next they visit the polls.

Richmond Women and Politics The women of Richmond are studying the privilege accorded them by the Legislature when it passed a bill giving them the right to vote. They are not looking upon their newly received rights as playthings or novelties affording amusement and pleasure. No. They consider the right to vote a privilege and a duty. Suffrage is a sacred thing to them. They want to know what the right to vote implies, what new avenues it opens for endeavor "and attain-

Any one with the slightest knowledge of the study of Ethics knows that woman is regarded as the custodian of morals. Philosophers and wise men look upon women as the moral educators of the family. If a mother insists on a high moral tone in her home, it will be found there. Contrariwise, if she permits the bars to be lowered by a blustering and profane husband, the moral tone will sink. If our homes and the whole social structure have been powerfully influenced and visibly exalted by woman, it is a logical inference that the political tone of our community will be ennobled by the investiture of our women with suffrage. The enfranchisement of our mothers, sisters and wives will add a new dignity and responsibility to the privilege of voting. v

COUNTY AUTHORIZES PAINTING OLD JAIL

When Sheriff Clem Carr-called attention of Wayne county commissioners to the recent report of the grand jury recommending painting of the interior of the county jail, they immediately gave the sheriff permission to purchase necessary paint. Work will be done by prison labor. Russell N. Edwards of the Standard Reinforced Concrete company notified the commissioners that this company is still planning to present competitive plans for the Main and South G street bridges. These plans will be placed on file shortly after Engineer Mueller presents his plans and specifications. Under law, contractors can submit bids on either set of plans. The plans which the Indianapolis firm will submit, specify Cheney patents. The bridges are designed with six large arches.

REPEAT SKETCH FRIDAY

By special request the members of the Dorcas society of the Earlham Heights Presbyterian church will repeat the "Old Peabody Pew" Friday evening at the church.

The eister turned swiftly. "Sir Maline, Captain Fane remembers," she said gladly. She was amazed at the effect of her words; she told herself fearfully that, if she had not known such a thing to be impossible, she would have said that the great sugeon hated to see his patient recover. Then, to her relief, she discovered her mistake. Sir Maline was smiling. She must have imagined that other look. "Splendid!" he said heartily. Rachel was talking in a low voice. "And when will you be well enough to come out, darling?" she asked tenderly. Sir Maline. standing at the foot of the bed, suddenly raised one hand and brushed it ever his hair. Robert's eyes followed the gesture. "Robert, when will you be well enough to come home?" Rachel whispered. It was only since the publication of the news of their marriage that such a sweet word had found a definite place in her vocabulary hers and Robert's. She had planned all sorts of delightful little surprises in her flat for Robert's return. Still Robert did not answer. Slowly, hesitatingly, he ' withdrew bis hands from her clasp. His white face, flushed scarlet. He turned distressfully to the sister. "What is it, Captain Fane?" she

asked gently.

Rachel rose; shs placed herself

jealously between Robert and the sister. "Tell me what you want," she said wistfuly. "I beg your pardon," Robert said courteously, "but would you please ask the sister to come to me for a moment, or my doctor?" Sir Maline came slowly forward.

"Captain Fane has forgotten again," he said to Rachel sympathetically, in a very low voice. "Do j'ou mean Robert is delirious?" she asked. "No, he said gravely, "I do not mean that the patient is delirious. I have some very painful news to communicate to jou. I fear that your husband has, temporarily, at least, entirely lost his memory." "But he knew me just now!" "That was a momentary exaltation. Speak to him now.and see if he knows you." Rachel turned, her face quivering, toward the man she loved. "Robert, my darling," she said, "they tell me you do not know me. Isn't it Rbsurd?" She tried to laugh a little. Robert faced her. "I'm certain I ought to know you," be said with rather rueful courtesy; "but I'm afraid I've a fearful memory. Would you be so forgiving as to tell me where I met you?" CHAPTER VII. Dosser's Discovery "I'll wait, miss," Dosser said cheerfully to the parlor-maid. "My master'll be ringin' for me as soon as 'is doctor's gorn, and rd like to be 'andy."

"Your master'll not be ringin for you or any one else," the girl replied pertly. " 'E ain't got the sense to remember where the bell is." Dosser edged up. "You shut it; d'yer 'ear?" he said fiercely. The girl smiled into the little man's enraged face. "All right, old dear," she replied. " 'Ave it your own way; but I 'eard the nurses talkin' about it, all the same." "Talkin' about wot?" Dosser asked quickly. "Captain Fane 'avin lost 'is memory. "Lost 'is memory?" Dosser repeated. "'Is hoperation's affected 'is mind that's about it" the girl said. " 'Ere I must 'op; 'ere comes the sister." The sister came slowly down the stairs. "Good evening, Dosser," she said rather wearily. Dosser saluted smartly. "I apologize for troublin' you, sister," he began; "but I've 'eard a bit of news that 's upset me rather, though I dare say it's a joke. Ladies will 'ave their bit of fun, won't they?" His anxious little eyes were all the while fixed intently on the face before him.

"it s not true, or course, he sug gested with an almost pathetic jaun

the captain's worse,

tiness, "that sister?"

"Has any one told you that your master has lost his memory?" the sistr asked gently. . "It's cot true? It's not true?" "I am afraid it is true." Dosser stared at her; it was as though he were trying to find a physical confirmation of , her words something he could believe at once. To be continued
