WILL REACH men
THROUGH BIG ADS
z. M. @. A. To Begin Publicity Cam
paign To Aid Men and Re-
ligion Forward Movement" :.

The Detroit Y. M. C. A. will begin
q six weeks advertising campaign for
the men and religion forward move
ment." next Wednesday, which will
be conducted on lines closely follow
ing those of the campaign of big bust
ness concerns. Newspaper space, bill
boards, street car placards, window
posters, handbills and advertising lit
erature of all kinds will be used
The publicity committee has secur-
ed the services OF three OF Detroit's
most expert advertising men to con-
duct the campaign. William c. Rad
cliffe, president OF the Adcraft club
and advertising manager for the Pere
Marquette railroad. will direct the
campaign, and w. 3. Power of the

Deavies OF the j. Walter Thompson
CO.. win assist him In preparing copy.
Sept "a there will be rally day,
when the men and religion move
ment" will be presented from the pull
pits of practically all the churches Of
the city. and special meetings will be
held for the purpose OF arousing en-
thusiasm.
A novelty In the campaign will be
the distribution Of the associations
literature through packages. Laun-
dry parcels. for instance. will contain
announcements of services and other
advertising. After the campaign has
been inaugurated In Detroit, IT will
be carried into all the cities In Michi-
gan.
The men and religion forward
movement is explained as ar organized
effort to so relate every man to the
life Of Jesus Christ that, SO far as he
Is concerned, a better condition al
ready exists, and so far as he touches
others, he will help them in the up
ward trend IFS fundamental features
are as old as the Christian religion.

movement aims to reach.

for over so years. For q years she
has had a constitutional amendment
forbidding the manufacture or sale
of intoxicants In the state. She Is
the original prohibition state, and for
half century she has been the pride
of prohibitionists the world over.
Now her people are to vote on the
question of whether prohibition is a
success or not.
1t seem likely that they will back
up the amendment, though the major
| ity may be smaller than the dry
people would wish II. For, though
the most radical prohibitionist can't
say now that prohibition is an unquali.
fed success, 1t seems to be the gen
eral belief that nobody has anything
better to offer as yet.
The failure of prohibition to pro
hibit" Is cited by the enemies of the
amendment as good reason why II
should be repealed.
Prohibitionists contend that with
her Illicit drinking places Maine
Is better of that the states that still
have the open saloon. They admit
that the system fosters graft-for all
| the speak-easies are run under some
kind of purchased protecticn-but
they hold that the law even loosely
enforced is better than no such re-
striction at all
So they are going to put up a big
fight for the amendment Mrs. l.. M.
N. Stevens, national head OF the w.
G. T. IT,, lives In Maine, and she Is
on the job with vengeance With.
in an hour after the passage OF the
bill for resubmission of the amend
and now the whole state is up in
arms.
The w. G. T. u. is backed in the
fight by the clergy, the State Grange,
the Sunday School association, the
''No-License Movement" the Chris
tian Civic league, most Of the repub-
lican newspapers and The Young
Campaigners for Prohibition"
On the other. side are lined up the
State Federation of Labor, which con-
siders the liquor law as being, In ef'
feet, class legislation; the Maine
Non-partisan Local Self-Government
league, the brewers, and few news
papers.
Not the least interesting of the
agents at work for prohibition is a

NEGRO PRIEST TALKS.

Baltimore, August 23.-The
Rev. j. Henry Dorsey, one of the
fre colored priests in this country
is in the city visiting relatives.
He is teacher in st. Joseph S
College for Negro catechists,
Montgomery, Ala. In speaking
of the work of his denomination in
the South, he said: "The Catho-
lie region is gaining ground among
our people in the South, he said
"The Catholic region is gaining
ground among our people in the
South. The college where | teach
not only trains catechists, but
gives training for those who de-
sire to follow professional pursuits
| have learned to love the South
during my nine years residence
there" Father Dorsey said mass
at ST Peter Claver Church Sun
day morning. He is a native of
this city and was eduacted in the
local public schools, Epiphany
Apostolic College and st. Joseph's
Seminary. He was ordained at
st. Francis Xavier Church, this
city, in June. 1t was on this oc-
casion that tie Rev. j. j. Slattery
then superior of ST. Joseph's Sem
mary, delivered a notable address
in which he urged for the rights
of the race.

terms as men. One of the chief
practical results of the agitation
for the suffrage in Europe will be,

the women in the upper classes to
the needs of the women in the low

much work for women among

THE MAN FAR
THESI DOWN
THE WOMAN WHO WORK IN EUROPE. SIXTH AR
uCLE BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

American police courts deal much
more severely with women. This
is certainly true in the Southern
States, where almost all the wo-
men brought before the police
courts are Negroes.
The class of people to whom L
have referred represent, as mat
ter of course, the lowest and most
degraded among the working
classes. Neverthelesssihey repre-
sent very large element in the
population, and the very existence
of this hopeless class, which con-
stitute the dregs of life in the large
cities. is an indication of the hard
ship and bitterness of the struggle
for existence in the classes above
them.
| have attempted in what l have
already said to indicate the situa-
ton of the women at the bottom
in the complex life of the largest
and, if l may say SO, the most civil
lized city in the world, where wo-
men are just now clamoring fer
all rights and privileges of men.
But there are parts of Europe
where, as far as | have been able
to lean, women have as yet never
heard that they had any rights or
interests in life separate and dis
tinct from those of their children.
In Vienna | saw hundreds of
women at work as helpers in the
construction of buildings; they
mixed the mortor, loaded it in tubs
placed it on their heads, and car
ricd it up two or three stories to
men at work on the walls. The
women who engage in this sort of
labor wear little round mats on
their heads, which support the
burdens which they carry. Some
of these women are still young,
simply, simply grown girls fresh
from the country, but the majority
of them look like old women.
Not frequently l ran across wo-
men hauling carts through the
streets. Sometimes there would
be dog harnessed to the cart be-
side them. That, for example, is
the way in which the countrywo-
men sometimes bring their garden
truck to market. More often, how
ever, they will be seen bringing
their garden products to market in
big baskets on their heads or
swung ever their shoulders.
While / was studying the differ
ent kinds of work which women
are doing in Austria-Hungary l
was reminded of the complaint
that I had heard sometimes from
women in America, that they were
denied their rights in respect to
Iaber. that men in America want
ed to keep women in the house
