LAFAYETTE BAPTlsTS.
Abandon Hope OF Maintaining
Separate Church Organization.

The Baptists of Lafayette have given
up all hope of maintaining a separate
church organization. The Lafayette
Baptist Church has at last disbanded af-
ter a long struggle to exist. Nine years
ago a Baptist Sunday school was started
in Lafayette. 1t prospered, so that at
the end of four years it was decided to
organize a church. The Lafayette Bap-
list Church was established and met in
the old Wigwam on Lafayette street.
The church prospered, as had the Sunday
school, and the members decided to build
a permanent place of worship. A year
ago money was raised. and a lot on Fair
fax avenue, near Ccmmunipaw avenue,
on which it was proposed to build a
chapel, was purchased for S1,500, 5000 OF
which was paid.
Shortly after this the church met with
heavy reverses. Finances fell off and
members moved away. Things went from
bad TO worse until last October, when a
meeting was called and it vas decided
that the organization could no longer be
maintained. The trustees asked the Ber-
gen Baptist Church to take charge OF the
Sunday school. but the trustees of that
church felt that they could not accept
the responsibility. The plan proposed was
that they could rot accept the RESPONSE
bility. The plan proposed was that all
the property and money belonging TO the
LAFAYETTE Church should be turned over
to the Bergen Baptist. It has now been
decided that the $500 which was raised for
the building fund be eturned to the suO-
scribers and tina the organization be for
ually diSbauGed.

some time. In his letter to Father Tai
lon, Father Carrorl said that the passage
was a very rough one and the breaking

them for more h a day. He suffered
very much during the trip and he says

SHE'S GOING 10 VOTE SOME DAY
Miss Kate Lunden's Lecture on Wo-
mans Part in Tcmpezance Work.

Miss Kate Lunden, State lecturer Of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
delivered an address to the members OF
the local union at the West Side Meth
odist Church. last night. on ''Woman's
Part in Temperance Work.. The plat
form was decorated with the Stars and
Stripes n pictures of Francs Willard
and the Woman's Temple were placed in
front of the platform and draped in the
same manner Til audience san several
patriotic hymns.
Miss Lunden spoke of the temperance
cause and said that as woman's place
was pre-eminently in the home she should
take part in every reform for the better
protection of the home. Miss Lunden
then branched off into a lengthy dis
course on woman suffrage. She said
present the only qualification for
citizenship is male attire, but the day
will come when men and women will
lave equal rights at the ballot box and
the test of citizenship will be an INTEL
lectual one. No person will be allowed to
vote who cannot read and write the
language of the country and who does
not know something of the government
of the country. When that time comes
the man or woman who sells his or her
vote or the person who buys it will be
disfranchised forever. Why is it that the
American woman has no vote and that
the native born American has to wait
twenty-one years before he can cast a
ballot, while ignorant foreigners who
cannot speak the language and have only
to be a few months in some States be-
fore they are permitted to vote, no mat
ter If they can't read the Constitution
and know less of the political situation
than the schoolbov who builds a bonfire
on election day? 1t doesn't matter so
long as he is a man.

a naturalized citizen of this country. Is
there any valid reason why l should not
be allowed to vote as well as the rag
picker and the organ grinder who were
naturalized at the same time? | am 60

go to Idaho or Colorado to do it. There
where everything is wild and woolly and

her say on election day. No home is

side; no government is complete without
