MEMBER DRIVE TO BE STARTED BY PYTHIANS

B. R. Lnman, State Organizer, Delivers Stirring Address at Opening of Big Campaign.

Americanism. Let this great order of seven hundred and fifty thousand

members stand behind that flag to the last man. and say to every foe, whether domestic or foreign, 'Thou shalt not

pass. I appeal to your Pythianlsm, your Americanism, to buckle on the

sword of righteousness and enter into the fight for home, country, human

liberty and practical fraternity.

B. R. Inman, director of Pythian extensions in Indiana, organized a membership campaign for Wayne county lodges at a conference of the eight Knights of Pythias lodges held Wednesday night in the Odd Fellows building. A. L. Ford vas appointed county superintendent and a special membership committee is to be appointed in each lodge. Frank Strayer and Inman delivered addresses. A banquet was served to

members. An enthusiastic reception was given to the plans for the cam

paign. Inman's address on "Americanism"

was warmly received. He said in

part:

"The influence of systematized prop

aganda is well known. For a score of

years prior to the world war, Germany, the arch-fiend of civilization, carried forward a system of 'kultur propaganda, which reached practically every nation on the globe. America was one of the nations to feel the subtle Influences of this nefarious system. "Now that the 'Beast of Berlin has been driven to his lair, and his infamous ambitions exposed to all the world, we find ourselves face to face with another system of propaganda which threatens to undermine the very foundation of our national life and the sacred institutions which have brought our country to the front rank as a great world power. I refer to the subtle hand of Bolshevism, with its odious propaganda of anarchy and its abominable system of prolltariat administration of governmental affairs. Bolshevism vs. Americanism. "This my fellow citizens and brother Knights, the greatest foe to Americanism at this time.

"It is said that in some of the recent labor disturbances, more than seventy-five per cent of the strikers could neither read, write or speak the American language. (Let's get the habit of calling it the American language). Hundreds of these disturbers of our industrial life claim allegiance to countries other than the one in which they earn their dally bread. If I had my way about it, every foreigner would be compelled to take the oath of allegiance as soon as he arrives in this country for residence, even though It should be only a1 temporary one. His refusal to do so would cause his Immediate deportation to the land of his nativity. If these men ar not willing to become bona-fide American citizens, recognize constituted authority and imbibe the spirit of real Americanism, then let them get out from under the protection of the Stars and Stripes and re-establish themselves in a land that is more to their liking. "This Is no time for 'pussy-footing,' nor blind experimentation in the fields of international affairs to an extent that will jeopardise American sovereignty as vouchsafed by the constitution. I assume that tho League of Nations will be signed by the United States senate. "If certain interpretations are necessary to protect our national sovereignty, such interpretations will doubtless be made. All of us may not be of one mind regarding the practical operations of the league, but it will probably do no harm, with proper interpretations, to give it a trial. But as long as the world persists in raising bull dogs, we had just as well make up our minds to continue to manufacture muzzles and be prepared to administer the Pasteur treatment for hydrophobia. "Demand for Americanism." "The demand of ihe hour is for a firm policy of intense Americanism. Let our foes across the seas, on the

pouth side of the Rio Grande, and within our own border, understand once and for all, that American citizenship means something and that American Ideals will be protected against foreign ggression or domestic revolution. "The order of Knights of Pythias is fundamentally a patriotic one. Every true Pythian is a 100 per cent American. There is no place in this great order for the red flag, the white flag or any other flag but the Stars and Stripes. Pythianlsm is opposed to holslievism and every other form of anarchy, because these things are un-

American. Pythians stand for consti-; tuted authority. j " They stand for national solidarity, ! the supremacy of law, the honor of the !

state, the sanctity of the home, the fatherhood of God and the fraternity of

man. Not only this, but this great i order will be in the future, just as it: has always been in the past, ready ; to stand behind the flag in every! crisis. j Pythians Gave Lives. ! "Fifty thousand members of this' order answered the call to the colors ; and offered themselves in the great war. to fight and to die if need be. for a cause which they believed to be 1 right. Some of these brave lads are now sleeping beneath the poppy fields of Flanders and elsewhere in the blood-steeped soil of Ku.rope.

Franchise League News

V The street dance given by the New Albany League Tuesday night proved to be a most delightful and successful social affair. The street was decorated with Chinese lanterns and numerous electric lights.

PRESIDENT

A meeting was held In Tipain Friday night for the purpose of reorganizing the League at that place. Mrs. Overstreet had charge of the meeting and a great many women joined the league and will assist in the work. The Twelfth Annual Corn Show 13 to be held in La Grange October 5-9. An effort is being made to secure Mrs. Medill McCormick for a talk on suffrage. The Franchise Leage of LaGrange will be In charge of the program for that day. The Terre Haute League has decided to have a Department Store sale Instead of a rummage sale, and tht

date has been changed to September 20. Mrs. John E. Lamb Is chairman, and it is expected a large sum of money will be raised for the league work. Suffrage fliers dropped from an aeroplane were used to advertise a Citizenship school at Sedalia, Mo. Miss Marie B. Ames, who was to instruct

the school, went up with the pilot and i

showered the city with 5,000 of the

advertisements. Mrs. Maud Park, who has had charge of the congressional work of the National Suffrage association, expects to come to Indiana in the late winter to give a course of lectures on what congress is doing now. TERRE HAUTE Mrs. W. T. Cheny. district chairman of the Federation of Clubs, and Miss Elizabeth Cooper, district chairman of the Franchise League, are sending out joint letters to all the clubs of the state, explaining

to them the value of the booklet, "Aid to the New Citizen," which is being published by the state league.

(Continued from Page One) the promptness with which they were ecepted, in some parts of the world, the readiness of the leaders of nations that were supposed to be seeking chiefly their own Interests in adopting these principles as the principles of the treaty, show that they were listening to the counsels of their own people; they were listening to them

and knew the critical character of the new age and the necessity we were under to take any measures for the peace of the world. "Because the thing that has happened was intolerable, the thing that Germany attempted, If it had succeeded, would have set the civilization of the world back 100 years, we have prevented it. But prevention Is not enough. "And so the moral compulsion among us, among us who at the critical stage of the war saved the world the moral compulsion upon us to stand by and see it through is overwhelming. We can not turn back. We made the choice in April, 1917. "And not only is there the compulsion of honor, but there is the compulsion of interest. I never like to speak of that, because, notwithstanding the reputation that we had throughout the world before we made the great sacrifice of this war, this nation does love its honor better than it loves its interest. Have Commercial Interest. "But if you want, as some of our fellow countrymen insist, to dwell upon the material side of it and our interest in the matter, our commercial Interest, draw the picture for yourselves. The other great nations of the

world are drawing together. We, who

suggested that they should drag to

gether in this new partnership, stand

the thing that had begun to be done before we went into the war. There was a conference in Paris not many months before we went into the war in which the nations then engaged against Germany attempted to draw together in an exclusive economic combination, where they should serve one another's interest and exclude those who had not participated in the war from sharing in that interest. And just so certainly as we stay out every

market that can possibly be closed against us will be closed.

"So that if you merely look at it from the material point of view of the material prosperity of the United States, we are under compulsion to stay in the partnership. Can Not Desert Humanity

"And there is a deeper compulsion

even, than that the

humanity. If there is one thing that America? ought to have learned more

promptly than any other country it is that, being made up out of all the ranks of humanity, in serving itself it must serve the whole human race. 1 suppose I could not command words which would exaggerate the present expectations of the world with regard to the United States. "We cannot desert humanity. We are the trustees of humanity. And we must see that we redeem the pledges which are a'ways i implicit in so great a trusteeship. ' "I cannot couch a motive ade

these rights and concessions to Germany. "I read again only the other day the phrases of which poor China was made to make the concession. She was made to make that in words dictated by Germany in view of her gratitude to Germany for certain services rendered; the deepest hypocrisy conceivable. She was obliged to do so by force. "Then Russia came and obliged China to cede to her Port Arthur and To Lien Wan, not for quite so long a period, but upon substantially the same terms. Then England must

And then, when the Japanese-Russian war came. Japan did what she has done in this war she attacked Port Arthur and captured Port Arthur, and Port Arthur

Germany had in Shantung, she could

keep it. "It was Germany's rights in Shantung, and not China's, that we conceded by the treaty to Japan. But with a condition which was not insisted upon at the cession of Port Arthur upon a condition that no other nation in doing similar things

in China has ever yielded to Japan is under solemn promise to forego all sovereign rights in the province of Shantung and to retain only what private corporations have elsewhere in China. "Coupled with this arrangement is the league of nations, under which Japan solemnly undertakes, with the rest of us, to respect and protect the territorial integrity of China. And back of her promise is likewise the similar promise of every other nation, that nowhere will there come a disregard for territorial integrity of the political independence of that great.

TROUBLE HAD GOTTEN BEST OF WM. COLBURN Was So Run-Down He Was Flat on His Back He Gains Thirty Pounds "I have gained thirty pounds since I commenced taking Tanlac, and the troubles that have been causing me to suffer for eighteen long years have been completely overcome," said William Colburn. who lives at 2118 East Lawrence Ave.. Springfield, Illinois, while talking to a Tanlac representative the other day. "Yes, sir, I was flat on my back in bed when I commenced taking Tanlac," continued Mr. Colburn, "and was so weak that I couldn't raise my head. I had suffered with stomach trouble so long and so much until it had the best of me altogether, and I was simply living on milks and liquid diets. I often had bad attacks of acute indigestion, and would suffer so much that I

would become delirious. Once or twice before I got so bad I couldn't leave my bed, these spells came on me whil-s 1 was away from the house and I just

"My wife got to reading about Tanlac, and as it was doing so many people so much good, she just went to the drug store and bought a bottle of it for me. Well, I took It for several days before we said anything to anybody about leaving off the other medicine that had been prescribed for me, but when I commenced to mend so fast, we just told about it, and I kept on taking Tanlac. Every day I got stronger, and it seemed that the more

Why will women continue to drag around In misery, suffering with the ailments peculiar to their sex, that drag them down to misery and despair, with backache, nervousness, the blues, derangements and irregularities, when there is a proved

remedy for just such conditions? For more than forty years Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound has been overcoming these ailments until it is now recognized everywhere

as the standard remedy for woman s ills.
