TOO MANY SALOONS
MRS. RANOLE SAYS
in Report Read Before Coun-
ty Convention of the w.
G. T. u. Today.

Between sixty and seventy-five dele
gates are attending the annual county
convention of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union in Richmond, and
are holding their meetings in the
First Christian church.
The meeting opened this morning at
10 O'Clock, and after devotional exer-
cises and the welcoming address the
regular county business was begun.
Encouraging reports were read from
the superintendent of the following
departments: Evangelistic, Flower
Mission, Franchise, Literature, Laws
and Statistics, Moral Education, Medi-
cal, Temperance, Peace and Arbitra-
ton, Press, Scientific Temperance,
and Sabbath Observance.
Mrs. M. A. McCurdy, representative
from the colored w. c. 7. u, gave her
report of the work being done in the
county by her and her workers among
the colored residents of the county.
The report was highly cimplimented
by the delegates.
The statistical report of Mrs. R. w.
! Randle, Superintendent of the Law
and Statistic department, was as fol-
lows:
Dear Sisters:
Another year has rolled around and
we seem to be like the toad at the bot
| tom of the we'll, climb up two feet and
fall back one, but by having the faith
and stability of the toad we will get
out of the we'll before the vets are
| aware of it. We had local option and
then slipped back to township unit.
| Now we are told We will climb back
to county local option. We are glad
to know that under township unit we
| have only one wet spot in the county
and that is our beautiful city of Rich
mond. We yet have SO saloons in
Richmond, which is five more than the
law allows, and yet no one here med
dies with these broken laws. This
county by law is allowed 48 saloons
and we have SO. The saloons have
paid over $4,000 license fees. A very
small amount of this goes to the school
fund, very small amount to the mis-
cry that is caused by the saloons.
We had 828 arrests this year. Three
hundred and seventy-two of these were
for drunkenness. Because of the sa-
loon and two extra minor things We
have two extra patrolmen, one extra
patrol driver, making eighteen patrol
men with three commissioners, two
sergeants and one superintendent. The
salaries of this force and sundries
amount to $19,OS6.65. Now, dear sister
does the saloon pay? Yet what can
we do without a voice in the mat
ter. This county pays an annual tax
of $4,000. Approximately one-third
of this is paid by women, which is
1 $273,336. We have $4,000 taxpayers in
the county and about 5000 of these
are women who have no voice in mu
nicipal affairs as to how their tax mo
ney shall be spent. Let US wake uI
and wake up wide and cry aloud fol
woman suffrage and equal rights with
man and never stop climbing unit
we have state, national and worldwide
prohibition against the greatest curse
1.-The liquor traffic."

A WASHINGTON STORY.
General Gassaway Saw the Great Man
In a Comic Situation


A correspondent favors us with this
unpublished anecdote about George
Washington, obtained from a manu-
script autobiography:
I'm the spring Of 1914 fell in COM
pany with General Louis Gassaway at
Annapolis, Nd, then clerk Of the dis
trict court, by whom l was informed
that in the Revolutionary war be was
an aid-de-camp to Washington. l will
let General Gassaway relate the anec-
dote himself:

army went into winter quarters at
Morristown, N. ]. General Washing
ton and his staff had their headquar-
tiers at the farmhouse of one Gabriel
Ford, a large and convenient estab-
lishment One severely cold night.
about Q o'clock, there was an unusual
hustle at headquarters. I lodged be-
low on the first door and soon learned
the cause of the stir. General Wash
ington ran to the head Of the stairs In
his night dress with pistol in each
hand and called to me to know the
cause Of the uproar.
"'"A soldier ON guard, sir, has been
frozen ut his post and brought into
quarters"
"'"See that the poor fellow is well
cared for and change the guard every
hour" was the humane reply.
"'To see a man six feet high in his
night clothes with a pistol in each
hand for a slight alarm Of the night
guard bordered so near on the ludicrous
that could not easily keep my equa-
nimity to answer the great general OF
the American army with becoming re.

A DUEL OF NOISE
PREVAILS IN ZION
(National News Association

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-More than a
hundred men armed with megaphones
filed into the Frank B. Cook factory
in Zion City today prepared to renew
the duel of noise started yesterday.
For some weeks by prayer and song
directed from the opposite side of the
street from the factory the Zionists
have been trying to convert the factory
hands who use tobacco and otherwise
violate Zion City ethics. Megaphones
were brought in yesterday and shrieks
and boots drowned out the noise of the
revivalists.

mean that the writer Banister

place; it means that he didn't
crib it from other pictures.
Also he was plainly interested
in it as a fresh study. 1t is

The Commercial Club supper
was held at the Miller hotel
last evening with about fifty
live Missouri Valley boosters
present. After an elegant
three course supper, President
McEvoy called the meeting to
order and listened to the re-
ports of several committees.
Mr.. Huntington gave a very
good talk on the help the rail-
roads would give a town by
helping them locate small fac
tories and after listening to
several more of the boosters
along the same line, a motion
was passed to have a perman-
ent committee to confer with
the Northwestern officials and
also to look up any factories
who may desire a new location.
The president took the appoint
ment under advisement and
announced today that he and
Mr.. Huntington would act for
awhile until they needed more
help.
The next matter of Importance
brought up was the matter of
building a permanent pavilion
at the City park for the pur
pose of having a place to hold
