MEMS CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE
UNION COLUMN.
Thirty seventh Annual Convention at Baltimore, Mary
land Nov. 1917.

The thirty-seventh annual conven.
tion of the National woman's Chris
tan Temperance union was held In
Baltimore, Maryland, November II
to II. A forecast of the convention
has already been given to the Chris.
tian Herald. The city of Baltimore
showed much appreciation of the
convention from the beginning, ad
dresses of welcome being given by
the mayor, by Rev. Dewitt Benham
ID. D., as president of the Ministerial
association, representing three hun
dred churches and by DR.. Eugene A.
Noble, representing the schools anC
other educational institutions of Bal
timore. DIR. Benham said that the
Woman's Christian Temperance un-
ion was properly labeled "Christian," 4"
and he spoke of the workers as lady
apostles" He compared the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance union
with ancient crusaders who bravely
contended to rescue the tomb of
Christ from the Saracens, and now
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union Is trying to keep pure the tenn
pie of the living God, which is the
body. Responses were made by -four
ladies, introduced by the president,
Mrs. Lillian NJ. n. Stevens.
On Sabbath morning, November 10.
there were no services in the Lyric
the convention han. Instead, many
of the pulpits of the city were occu-
pied by the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union delegates; and as 1t
was Worlds Temperance Sunday ad-
dresses on temperance were made in
a large number of the Baltimore Sun
day schools. On Sabbath afternoon a
mass meeting was held in the Lyric.
and the convention sermon was
preached by Mrs. Deborah Knox Llv.
ingston. She took no text, but in =
stead, set forth the personality OF
Queen Esther. who proved to be the
deliverer of her people Israel, an d
compared with her the White Ribbon
women (the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union) as having come to che
kingdom for such a time as this. to
deliver their country from the great
destroyer-the rum traffic.
At the crowded Sabbath eve ming
meeting in the Lyric the speaker was
Hon. Richmond Pearson Hobson OF
Alabama (of Merrimac fame). His
theme was "The Great Destroyer" He
gave many figures to show that liquor
not war, is the great destroyer. His
statistics We're taken from govern
mental reports on the wars of the
world and authoritative reports on
alcohol and alcoholism, and by com
parison II Is shown that alcohol IS
10000 times more destructive Of life

board organized yesterday afternoon

The decision of the progressives
to switch from G. S. Chesterman for

avoid any criticism that might have
been made to the effect that Crook

suited in factional differences on the

ROOSEVELT MAY
MAKE A FIGHT
Convention Has Final Selec-
ton Of Chairman.
EASTERN PRESS AROUSED

Orthodox Republican Papers Depre-
cate Action of "OId Guard" in Turn
ing Down Former President and
. Look for Further Friction in Party
as the KesuIt-coIoneI Uses Word
Progressive" in Statement Issued.
Washington, Aug. 10. - Official
Washington is very much upset over
the action of the "old guard" in New
York in rejecting the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt to be temporary
chairman of the Republican state con-
vention. The fear is expressed here
that it will force political declara-
ton from Mr.. Roosevelt and the lead
ers in Washington are apprehensive
that before many months have passed
it may result in split between the
president and the former president.
The belief is quite generally enter
tanned in Washington that Mr.. Roose-
welt is in sympathy with the progress
sive cause throughout the country.
The progressive cause has his support
in New York. It is significant that in
his statement given out after the
meeting of the Republican state com
mittee he employed the word pro
gressive" for the first time since his
return to the United States. f.
Whether he wishes it or not Mr..
Roosevelt is bound to take an active
part in politics in the near future.
The "old guard" in his own state has
given him the def and he has accept
ed the challenge. The chances are
that he will be present as delegate ir
the Republican convention to be held
in Saratoga in September. There may
be lively developments before the con-
vention is held. The "old guard" has
the right to propose the name of a
temporary chairman in the conven-
ton, but the nomination is subject to
confirmation by the convention itself.
Vice President Sherman will go to
Saratoga with the nomination, but it
remains to be seen whether he will
be made the choice of, the Republic
ans of the state as represented in the
convention.
The Eastern press is very much
wrought up over the Roosevelt Incl
dent in New York. Some of the New
York papers, notably the Sun and the
World, are very much elated over it.
The Tribune, orthodox Republican, de-
precates the course of the old guard.
The Tribune believes that it means a
fight to the finish and, at the finish, it
| looks for the elimination of the old
guard.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Colonel Roose-

chairman of the coming Republican
state convention by the Republican
state committee:
ITO the various persons who asked
me whether I would accept the posi-
ton of temporary chairman of the

do so only if they were sure, after
knowing my attitude, that they desired
me, because my speech would be of

The WOMEN
PRISONERS
LUNIrEr PRESS LEASED WIRE.

Los Angeles, Calf, April A.
More than score of women prison
ers at the Los Angeles city Jail
went to school today many of them
for the first time i'm their lives.
The new school at the jail en-
braces in it's curriculum the domes-
tic sciences, cooking, sewing and
housekeeping, and a training school
for nurses also has been established.
instruction in these branches will
be given under the supervision OF
Chief of Police Galloway and Ma
trOn Aletha Gilbert. The plan ori-
ginated with Mrs. Gilbert.
Il know that when many of our
prisoners leave the Jail they will
have a knowledge of things they
never knew existed I'll wager
three in every ten of the women who
come here don't know that stock
ings can be darned, or that persons
who are i'll can be taken care of in
a way that will help them to get
well quickly" Mrs. Gilbert said.
IF we can teach one woman in 10
something that will help to make
her life easier and better when she
leaves it will be sufficient. At any
rate they will have something to do
while they serve their terms
If Mrs. Gilbert's plan is success
full, it is probable that it will be Civ
en- fair trial in the county prison.
