MFRS LOU V. CHAPLIN gave the
lN Ebell club an interesting hour
A'A yesterday, leading discussion Of
public affairs both in home and for
eign fields.
A prediction which aroused a stir of
interest and approval from the aud
ience was that in time public con-
science will become SO educated that
editors of the daily papers will be
elected to their positions according to
their fitness to be leaders of public
thought. Teachers in the public schools,
theaters and newspapers were cited as
the three great educators of the age
the first two, the speaker said, having
been already regulated in the interest
Of public morals.
A greatly needed civic reform speci-
fled is abatement of the monthly tax
of SO levied on washwomen who do
family washing at home the tax work
ing an injustice to both laborer and
employer.
In connection with the strike in Phil
adelphia Mrs. Chaplin urged the need
of enforced arbitration for labor
troubles and the necessity of requiring
each railroad receiving state or NUM-
cipal franchise to give guarantee to
furnish continued service to the pubic.
Certain warlike preparations being
made in Germany, and the posSlplllty
of war between that country and Eng
land or France, were considered. The
fact the English budget had not been
passed was commented on and a delay
of several months predicted.
A note of alarm was sounded con-
cerning indications of political unrest
in eastern Asia, and possible com
bination of Russia, England and Japan
against China was suggested.
