Sunday morning ana at the evening
service, the church scarcely accOmmo-
dated the numbers who came to hear
the eminent evangelist
Sunday afternoon, Rev. Mr.. Jordon
addressed perhaps as large a body Of
women as had collected at rellg-
ious service in this city in some time.
Standing room was entirely at a pre-
MUM. Following a selection by Mr..
and Mrs. J. II. Means and the open
ing exercises, Rev. Jordon spoke up
on the theme, "Tbe Daughters Of
Eve"
Throughout his address the speaker
urged activity on the part Of the
women to secure their rights with
men at the ballot box.
'Women are equal TO men in every
respect he said. ''They have been
kept back for no reason and It is
time that they were being given their
rights. There was a time when only
the men were educated and In these
times no doubt it was well that the
men only could hold the relns OF
power in government. Now, how
ever, it is different. The largest per
cent b yfar of the educated people OF
America are women"
The speaker at some length spoke
of the progress Of womans work.
The sex has accomplished great
things. They have taken their place
in the great professions of the world.
They have done work which might
we'll be envied by the men OF the
world today. The speaker referred to
the organizations such as the temper
ance bodies and societies for relief
work.
Rev. Mr.. Jordon gave prophesy that
the time would not be far distant
when The women were given full
rights with the men at the polls OF
our country.
The women are possessed OF great
influence on the work OF men. and IL
Is essential that they live such lives
of purity and devotion that great
good may be accomplished by them.
AT the evening service, Rev. Mr.. Jor.
don spoke upon Grinding a Fortune"

mination of every semblance of a
public drinking place is possible un-
der county option, providing good
moral men with proper sense OF the
value of law were paced at the helm
of civic affairs, that the blind tiger"
and "speak-easy' Jand ''bootlegger"
exist on the will of officers whose
duties never pinch dulled conscience.
He believed that their death blow
could not be dealt at once, that time
and patience and a firm determlna-
ton in the right Is necessary but
effective ultimately.
AS for the cry Of the saloonkeep-
er to raise the standard of the
license requirements, TO grant IL
censes only TO such men as may be
trusted TO exercise judgment In the
sale Of liquor, Mr.. White thinks only
a graduate of good saloon could
lbe endowed with such capabilities and
as no man ever graduated from any
saloon in the history OF it's existence
The scrubbing brush would be a
much saner cure for the liquor evil
than the dust cloth.
MIR. White held his audience, being
a speaker of more than ordinary logic
and great deal OF the essential COM
mon sense.

ed to Secure a Divorce.
RECITES TROUBLE TALE
Husbands Son Blamed For
Part of Cruelty.
Wife Says She Has Been Beaten,
Starved and Forced to Flee 10
Friends for Refuge.

Perhaps there is not a woman in
mined to secure a divorce than is
Flora y. Showen. For the past ten
years she has been almost a per-
putual peGiuiOner and just TO show
the court that she is earnestly de-
teumined in her quests, she attack
ed the job for the fourth time, Sat-
urtlay.
The petsion was NED through at
torneys Copeland and Bartram, SAT-
urday afternoon. Napoleon A. Show
en- is named defendant in action,
All divorce petitions filed by Mrs,
shower have been dismissed. On
June 9th, 1899, April 10th, 1902 and
january 18th, 1908, she was a divorce
petitioner but all the applications
met with the same fate.
In her petition Saturday the plain
tiff says that she was married to
dhe defendant ON October 11th, 1897
in Delaware county Extreme cruelty
Is the principal charge. She says
that the defendant is possessed of an
ungovernable temper and ever since
tletr marfage has abused and curs-
ed her. He has frequently assaulted,
struck and beaten her and by such
cruel treatment, forced her to leave
home. She deCbar es that in a half
carved condition, She was forped to
cave home ON February 1lth, 1909,
and since that time has depended
solely upon friends and relatives for
her Living
The plalntiif says that the defend
ants son, Peter Showen has been
larJely responsible for her unpleasant
life. Encouraged by the defendant, she
Hays that the son has conceived a
violent hatred for her and resoItted
10 all manner of cruelty in order TO
PUNISH her. AS a sample of the sons
alsgravaIting tricks, tile plaintiff says
THAT he would persist in feeding the
cat on the parlor carpet and would
sdlt by THE hour and describe In
hor dble language, how he intended
1oDbing, butchering and murderinL
certain individuals.
The plalntiff prays THAT the courL
grant her a divorce, reasonable all
mony and asks that the court re-
strain the defendant from disposing
of certain real estate which is de-
scribed in the petition.

She wrote the essay without help,

We had better know what we are
doing when we step down to belittle
folks, for it is a dangerous thing to
do-and it speaks poorly of us as
leaders and teachers.
I can say with JOY and humble
thankfulness that boys, the sons of
poor men too, have gone from my
schoolrooms to become in after
years doctors, teachers, school super
intendents, and even "well-to-do"
farmers; and girls have gone forth
and made fine teachers and fond

Will our boys and girls bow their

teach them in school that they are
white, that they are to be citizens of
a free land. that they are of good
