RUNAWAY ON FIFTH
Big Grey of Ringings Takes a
Sprint of Few BIocks-No Dam
age Done
(From Fridays Daily.)

Even a circus horse may not become
accustomed to all of the varieties of
modern life, for today noon at the cor
ner of Oak and Fifth street the big
grey animal which draws the dump
cart for Ringlings took rapid sprint
down First street to the east. The end
gate was dropped at Ash street. The
driver kept the horse in the road and
pretty good time was made until the
corner of East and Fifth, when rough
depression in the street caused it to
stumble and fall, sliding several feet.
The harness was loosened and the
horse released and no damages were
noticed beyond a slight nervousness on
the part of the animal.

Banquet of Fellowship Club.

been along two lines, the material and
moral. True, it has not always been a
harmonious and equal development,
and because of that inequality have
grown up so many social evils for
which you hold man responsible
those evils that corrupt and debauch
manhood and womanhood, and make
the path of childhood so dangerous,
those evils that disrupt homes, and
make parenthood a regret, and finally
fall heaviest as burden and sorrow
upon the women of the world. They
are not evils that can be reached by
the ballot, nor eradicated by law. 1t is
fundamentally question of individu-
al manhood and womanhood, and as
such, the problem lies close to your
door, not only as mothers, but as
women. The best guarantee of good
citizenship is we'll born and a we'll
trained child, and that is eternally a
task for womanhood.

these evils will be never again.

lot, or that you need it, or could ac-
complish all the purposes that you de
sire if you had it. l do know, though,
that in those western states where the
political powers of your sex are the
largest, there crawls and coils to power
that monumental indignity to woman
hood-polygamy.
The ballot is an effective means of
placing laws on the statute books, but
laws affecting the morality of state
unless supported by public opinion are
eventually forceless, and what is pub

of individual civic conscience, and that
necessarily must be the average result
of all the forces for good and evil.

Mr.. President, ladies and gentlemen,

Mr.. President, ladies and gentlemen,
and especially you ladies, we don't
want you to think this invitation was
extended in order that we might
square ourselves with you for the in
terest you have taken, and the labor
you have expended in making our
past meeting so successful and pleas
ant, especially pleasant In the other
room, nor to show you that if it came
to question of must, we could do
without you, for we can not, and we
will not try, no, not even to consum-
mate the purposes of this association.
This club was organized for the pur-
pose of promoting spirit of fellow
ship and better citizenship. Uncon
sciously those terms make us think Of
men, the affairs of men, and its MEM
bership is confined to them.
We will lay aside the question of fell
lowship, for the spirit of brotherhood
that exists, or should exist, between
men, is question for them alone, but
the more significant purpose "to pro-
mote a better citizenship" not only
should appeal to you as women, but it
is so intricately associated with the
most sacred purpose of your lives, that
you can not evade its responsibilities
and be true to the duties imposed by
nature, and by natures God.
1t is as useless and egotistical for
man to attempt a better citizenship
without the cooperation of woman
hood, as it would be'for them to con-
tinue the race, and you can no more es-
cape your duties in one particular than
the other.
Good Citizenship.
Good citizenship in it's customary in
depreciation means a standard of in
dividual civic conscience, high and
strong, and pure enough to stand for
all that is best, and condemn all that
is bad in those affairs of community
or state affecting directly or Indirect
ly the home life and the moral welfare
of the race.
Moral welfare means more than
private virtues-it demands more. For
whoever betrays trust in public life,
whoever is dishonest in his exercise of
power, whoever by technical evasion
nullifies the law, whoever is unmind-
full of his duties, sets an example of
evil that is reflected again and again.
In our national life there has been so
much betrayal of trust, in one form or
another, that it seems almost as If on
one side is nothing but human selfish
ness as tireless and hungry as the
waves, on the other human misery as
widespread and as ceaseless.
[ do not wonder that at times like
these, when the need of good citizen
ship is imperative, some of your sex
point out the failures in government,

The Greatest Evils.

The greatest evils that confront the
nation today are not the questions of
economic or commercial Importance.
While there will always be problems
for statesmen and financiers, there are
questions lying close to American
home life, vastly more important, more
imperilling than bribery and dishonesty
in high places, for you may rest assured
that whatever eats at the heart of our
national purity, eats at the heart of our
national power. The standard of citi-
zenship rests in the quality of the in
dividual and motherhood holds in its
keeping the greatest powers for good
or evil.

Woman's Duty.

To the child that is born a son, you
owe it to him, your country and your
self that you be the closest companion
of his life. It is easy enough to find
boys that will confde their successes
and good deeds to their mother, but
when you find one that will go to her
and confess his failures and his sins,
that boy had the right kind of a
mother. There is no teacher, no
school, no system of theology that can
quite eradicate the influence of an evil
or careless mother, and no power Of
evil is strong enough to permanently
supplant the influence of good
mother, wisely and earnestly instilled
in the developing life of her son. 1t
doesn't make any difference what the
life work of man may be, if he has a
deep and abiding reverence for pure
womanhood, if he is honest and sincere,
dignitied and humane, gentle, where
gentleness is due and strong where
strength is needed, he will be good
citizen, and you above all others can
help and guide him to be such.
The child that is born a daughter
should be taught by its mother, that
even in this materialistic age, marriage
may come to her, and if it does, to
spend more time sizing up the man on
whom she risks her all, than she does
in picking out her trousseau. The
trouble with you women is that you
condone in the individual, what you
condemn in the community. The av
erage woman will throw the mantle of
charity, or the balm of forgiveness, or
shut her eyes to the sins of some man,
and that same man would draw his
garments closer around him lest they
touch her if she did what he does.
When you realize the Importance of
insisting that the high plane of purity
occupied by the woman, must be occu-
pied also by the man, when you insist
that he like yourself must scorn to pro-
fame those attributes of his being which
are most sacred in the eyes of God and
humanity, if you ever, ever will in
sist that he must be able to give just
what he requires of you, pure mind
and untarnished body, you will won
derfully enhance your chances of indi-
vidual happiness and promote materi-
ally and permanently better citizen
ship.
It is not the luckiest thing in the
world perhaps to be born woman,
but successful mother is more i'm.
portant factor in a community, than
any merely successful man, as we
measure men.
Anoted minister once said: "for moth.
erhood is power apart, distinct and
individual creation, differentfrom any
thing else God ever Shought of. Hel
position has in it all the tragedy of is
olation in her work, all the pathos OF
vast expenditure of vitality, with nc
personal reward, save the reward that
is hidden in her work.

HydFophobia is really so rare and
so terrifying that Its treatment and
symptoms are little understood. As
