To He Treat fl RJcht. "I hear," said Mr. Yeapley, "that the women of some of the western Ktatrs the fine, noble women who rear their sons and their daughters to be splendid men and women are Tiot taking advantage of their right to "ote because they fear to soil themselves with the associations, but I say proudly that here in Indiana, in t orthern Indiana, at any rate, the members of the republican party can conscientiously Invite their wives, mothers and daughter o participation in any of their activities without fear that the sense of honor and of decency of the women will be offended. I do not speak as a suffragist." Mr. Yeagley hastened to add, "and I hope ywi will not report me as bein:r Ii sruffragist." Scorns Filitor. "And I urge you women to scorn eorn is about as far as a woman will get the man. be he editor or be he tramp, who would stoop to take advantage of his position to besmirch a woman who is trying honestly to do her duty by her country." Air. Yeagley went on to sketch hastily some of the ins and outs of politics for the interest and "edification" of his hearers and told them that they could be of immense influence in cleaning up any questionable jractices in the political Held. Judge Van Fleet, who preceded Mr. Yea gley, supplied the shot which the women are to use In their fight for Hughes by explaining the pros and cons of republican policies, urging the women particularly to emphasize in their campaign the high cost of living, the increase of txea within the state by tho raiding of assessed valuations, etc. "The dcmocraLi argue," said Mr. Van Fleet, "that Wilson has kept us cut of war. We say rather that Wilson has merely kept us out of v. ar. that he almost got us into. We cannot live in this world without Mrife and strength. The nation that has become too proud to fight is on the downward grade. Some day even if we have not the strength we shi'll have to fight and thn our sacrifice will 1 ten times the more. Hughes is not for war; he is merely for the .strength that will keep us out of war." Iii plain Tariff.

A deluge of rain had spattered the wrapping and had almost torn it from th" strings that held it m tightly.

LACK OF GARS IS DENIED BY ROADS South Bend Trade Has Been Cared for Properly Assertion of Agents. The shortage of 45,749 cars which is seriously effecting shipping throughout the country at the present time is not being so seriously felt here as in other places according to local railroad men, Friday. On all the roads entering South Pend there has been more or less of a lack of a sufficient number of cars to handle the local shipping for some time but. the freight agents have been able to take care of South Pend trade without much delay. The shortage of coal cars in particularly felt here as throughout the country but has not in South Pend as in other places caused an advance in the price of coal. The Chicago offices of the American Railway association issued car fchortage figures Thursday showing that on Oct. 1 the railroads were 45,749 cars short, the largest net shortage ever reported at this time of the year. Iist year at this time there was a net surplus of 77,331 cars. The shortage on Aug. 1, this year was 7,777 cars a. id on Sept. 1. 14.662 cars indicating that the shortage is becoming more serious, it is not, however, believed that the shortage will become very much more serious than at present. Shippers in all parts of the country" are urged to speed the movements of cars by ordering shipments well in advance, placing orders for car loads "any size'' and unloading tars a's rapidly as possible.

ASSERTS JUSTICE

OF LIVING IGE

Rev. W. A. Bolger Discusses Economic Problems With Women's Civic League. That a wage less than a living wage for women workers is morally wrong; that It Is opposed to economic welfare and that it is unnecessary, were the contentions of Rev. William A. Rolger. C. S. C, of Notre Dame university in a lecture Friday evening, before the members of the Women's Civic league and their friends in the auditorium of the Kindergarten Training school. Father Polger began his discourse with an enlightening discussion of the industrial revolution which was accomplished during the last third of the ISth century and the first third of the 13th. at d the development during that pe .od of the doctrine of "laissez fire", or noninterference on the part of the government in industrial affairs. He showed how this fact of the industrial revolution and this theory of noninterference have given to modern industrial conditions their peculiar color how industrial development has continued while the doctrine of "laissez faire" has failed entirely to bring vbout social Justice and has caused to be written into the annals of human history some of its most discreditable records. Liv? Llko Humans. The contention that a wage less than a living wage is morally wroig Father Polger supported on the ground of natural rights which are derived from no human institution. The first of these rights, he pointed out, is the right to live and, if to live, then to live as a human being in decency and a reasonable amount of comfort. The complexity of modern industry, he showed, has obscured the crime committed against these natural rights but the complexity ot industry by no means destroys the right of every individual, if he has any rights, to live and to live decently. "There are three principle kinds of extortion in the world today," the speaker continued, "the extortion of the monopolist in the form of high prices; the extortion of the loan shark in the foim of excessive interest and the extortion of the wage shark in the form of low wages. Commissions are being formed to keep monopolists from charging high prices. The activities of the loan shark are condemned, but the extortionate activities of the wage shark are still unregulated. Ixnv Wages "Yroii. Father Bolger showed that low wages are uneconomic in that the underpaid worker is either thrown on the community for partial support or upon her own family. If she is thrown upon her family, she is then being supported by other workers in other industries and the factory' or the store which fails to pay her a living wage is being subsidized by these other industries. Therefore low wages, though they may be of financial benefit to the individual employer or industry, they are not economic for the country' at large. Ixnv wages he snowed to be unnecessary in that the beneficial operation of the minimum wage law in Australia, in Great Britain, and in the state of Oregon has adjusted most of the social wrongs of which it is the cause without injury either to industries or to higher raid workers. He cited figures and Instances to support his statements in this respect, showing that the several stock arguments against the minimum wage law succumb to experience. Cito Ical Cases. Ixcal instances of serious underpayment of girl workers were cited by the speaker in urging a minimum wage law for Indiana, lit told of certain instantes wherein girls in South Bend are being paid three and three and a half dollars per week and are paying $2.50 of that for board. Hundreds of others are getting four, five, and six dollar. "If there are such thinfts as rights, natural rights, one of the functions J of the state is to protect every one j of its citizens in those rights so as j to promote the general welfare. It 1 is the duty of the state, therefore to j make it unlawful for any employer to pay less than is sufficient for health and efficiency." Preceding the talk Miss Ruth Pommert gave two delightful musical selections "Shepherds All and Maidens Fair", Nevin and "Etude Mignone". Schuett.

L A' Annual Sessions of Association at Indianapolis This Month to Attract Many. Several principals and teachers from the South Bend public schools are expecting to attend the sixth annual meeting of the Indiana State Teachers association which will be held in Indianapolis on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Oct. 25, 26, 27, and 28. Supt. J. F. Nuner will attend the convention probably accompanied by E. I. Kizer, manager of the city school system. Ample provision has been made for the general association mass meetings in large halls centrally located. Prominent speakers have been engaged to make addresses and it is expected that many of the teachers over the state will attend.

Besides the regular department sessions, additional features are on the program. On Thursday and Friday evenings, the Little Theater society of Indianapolis will present at the Masonic temple to the members of the association a literary review of Indiana for a hundred years.

Tufts college of Medford, Mass., meets Indiana on that day with a fast aggregation of players that downed Harvard early this season. The teachers of the association are especially invited to attend.
