JUSTICE To WOMAN rs DEMANDED
BY A FAIR FEMININE MISSION.
AIRY
FROM CHRISTIAN MANHOOD.
MISS JESSIE ACKERMAN ADDRESS
Es THE Y. M. G. A. In VIGOROUS
FASHION.
FAvoRs A SINGLE STANDARD
For Measuring the Morality of the
Sexes That Society Now Discrim-
mates Between.

The somewhat unusual privilege Of
hearing q woman address a meeting
for men only was enjoyed by an au-
dience completely filling the rooms Of
the Young Mems Christian association
in Central hall, Sixth and Seventh
streets, yesterday afternoon. The
speaker was Miss Jessie Ackerman, CT
Chicago, a travelling missionary labor
ing in behalf of the National w. G. T..
u. who has supported the reform
movement in all parts Of this country
and in most of the cities Of Europe.
Miss Ackerman selected a text from
the Bible upon which to address her
audience, choosing the beatitude,
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God" and in a manner not
lacking in force directed her address
against the variance In the standards
Of morality. which, she said. society
had established for men and women.
1t had come to be generally recog-
nized, the speaker said, that to be
pure in heart was an attribute Of
women only, and such conception Of
moral requisites in character had
wrought much misery and sin. Men
who had dissipated were welcomed to
the social fold when their season Of
sowing wild oats had ended, but not so
with women. who, by AN unfortunate
nisstep, were thereafter ostracized and
classed as outcasts. "Thou shalt not"
declared Miss Acker1nan, meant men
as well as women. If this obligation
were only recognized. a quarter of a
million fallen woman, the speaker said.
would today be the inmates Of happy
homes instead Of on the road to de-
struction. AS it was not recognized.
and men We're allowed every license in
immortality, Miss Ackerman declared, it
was time for the women Of the world
to force it's recognition by demanding
the same purity in men which men de-
manded in their wives. This the woman
Of the future would do, Miss 'Acker-
man asserted, and the conditions for
which she hoped would come about
when a Christian manhood prevailed.
Miss Ackerman spoke in the evening
also at the First Baptist church.

Rev. S. G. Smith Says Juvenile Gam
bling Exists Locally.

Di1nE EY1StS Locally.
Rev S. G. Smith, of the Peoples
church, delivered the second Of a
series Of sermons on amusements last
evening, taking for the subject of his
talk Games Of Skill and Chance" In
the course Of his remarks the speaker
said that mans struggle against ma
ture was a serious affair. He wanted
more than he had, and, consequently.
the more he wanted the harder he had
to struggle. The question Of amrse-
ments was largely question Of re-
suits. They exhibited the character Of
the man. Primitive games had many
All athletic games and contests Of
skill and strength were old. In early
history they were part Of religious
ceremonies. and the days devoted to
the Grecian Olympian games were
holy days. Those who contested were
obliged to be of good character, and
before any of the events were COM
menced the judges asked if there was
aught against the character of any OF
the contestants. Such questions asked
at the present day, the speaker said,
would be apt to be rather painful and
annoying to some Of the men who
took part in athletic sport. The re-
ward for feats of strength and skill
in the early days was but a simple
w
struggle in those days between men
and not for things. Rome took up the
games, but instead Of having the best
Of the citizens participate in them.
adopted the merchants style and hired
persons to take part in the sport.
Games Of chess, checkers, cards and
dice belonged to the older civilization.
and 1000 years ago the Egyptians
played cards. It was claimed that
games of skill were all right and
games of chance were all wrong. Some
claimed that chess and checkers were
games Of skill, but cards and dice
were games Of chance. There was no
more harm in playing game Of cards
than playing a game Of checkers The
real objection to games of chance was
not in the chance element. but that It
gave an opportunity for gambling
Laws had been passed in all civilized
countries against gambling, and it was
right that they should be enforced.
Horse racing was Of itself fine sport
and there was no reason why at fairs
there should not be racing of home
bred horses driven by their owners.
The sport had been spoiled by the
betting ring, Jockeys and the train of
rowdies that went with 1t. Progress
sive euchre was an idiot1c form Of
gambling. Games were not the bust
ness but the recreation of life The
basis Of gambling was moral degen-
eracy. The moral law and the law of
God was that men should earn what
they received legitimately A man
who gambled was a thief at heart
and an enemy Of society. It made no
difference whether the stakes were for
% cents corner or for bric-a -brac.
Day after day in this city there were
resorts open for the purpose Of gamb-
ling which were frequented by BOYS
who had not reached their majority.
They were not only wasting their
hours and substance at the game, but
also their manhood.

Logansport, Ind, year ago, he has
done no work. He has depended for
existence on what his two sons could
beg. Being driven out of a hut in the
east bottoms last March, he moved into
a large hollow tree trunk on the
banks Of the Missouri river There he
would sleep while his sons were out
begging food and clothing. Yesterday
afternoon Officer Kennedy was told by
gardeners Of how Rhodes was living.
He went out and arrested him for
vagrancy Judge Clifford gave Rhodes
one week In which to go to work. J.

sBuf, McManus and John McGrath
Are Arrested.


John McGrath and buff" McManus,
the latter a local pugilist of some
reputation, enjoyed the early part OF
last evening in each others company,
but shortly before midnight got into
a difficulty at West Fourth and
FRANKLIN streets. They had started to
adjust the matter according to Lon
don prize ring rules when Officer Will
lam Banker stopped the bout and or
dered the men in different directions.
When Officer Banker turned the cor
ner both men rushed together again
and renewed the interrupted fight
They managed to partially satisfy
their pugnacity before Officer Banker
returned and placed them under arrest
on the charge of disorderly conduct,
as was evidenced by two bloody faces
and swollen eyes, which gave them a
sanguinary appearance when taken to
the central station, though neither of
the men were badly hurt. They will
be arraigned in the police court today

There is one way in which Il cyctl-i

In TWO instances ii i!as been tried with

This simple means Of avoiding arrest
is to tie a piece OF :.ring from the han

means one before the other. the Whee.

Why did the railroad employees
vote tor Mckinley? Because the
managers of the railroads either
told them or gave them to under
stand that if Bryan were elected
their wages would b- cut down by
payment in 50-tent dollars, aud
that it Mckinley succeeded their
employment would continue at he
old prices or better wages.
Why do the rich, who spend
their time aud money in Europe
and court European society, want
a strong government to put down
the American people, whom they
call the rabble or the mob? Be
cause they prefer monarchy to
Democracy.
Why is it good policy to allow

McKINLEY.AS UNCLE SAN

It is stated with patriotic gusto
that the suit of clothes Major Nc
Kinley will wear at the inaugur-
alton will be made wholly Of Am
erican material by American work
men.
An Eastern manufacturer is now
making of wool clipped FROM the
back of American sheep piece Of
cloth just large enough for one
snit. The cloth will be sent to
Major McKlnley's tailor and will
be made into suit in which all
the material will come from Amer
ican shops.
We refrain from suggesting that
under the system of protection for
which Mckinley was responsible
the representatives American suit
was made of shoddy; and that he
ought to stick to bis material in his
inaugural outfit Democratic re-
form has made it possible to get
All all-wool American suit for the
apostle of protection, although the
price is still high.
But the President elect should
not stop with All American suit in
taking til stage as the representa-
tive Of Americanism. His syndi-
cate manager did not hesitate to
appropriate the American flag and
degrade it to the uses of politics.
Major Mckinley should elaborate
the idea and have 6, red white-and
blue shirt and collar, with a bsn-
dana handkerchief to match. The
typical American headgear is the
coon-skin cap. A coon-skin cap, a
pair of Uncle Sam boots and the
great seal Of state for a watch charm
would complete a costume which
would be calculated to fire the
American heart with patriotic
pride.
When statesman starts out to
be the typical American he ought
to go the whole typical hog Major
Mckinley taking the oath Of office
in the role of Uncle Sam, clothed
in American garments and decor
ated with the American flag,
would offer fitting climax to the
