We believe the majority of the best men
and women every where do not want to
see the right to cast the ballot at all cleo
tons thrust upon women. A few men
politicians with ends to gain are listening
to few manniSh women. Bishop John
H. Vincent said The instinct of
motherhood is against it. The basal
conviction of our best manhood is against
1t. The movement is at root protest
against the representative relations and
functions by virtue of which each sex
depends upon and is exalted by the
other. This theory and policy, tending
to the subversion of the natural and
divine order, must make man less a man
and woman less a woman"
Woman's warm heart, gentle hand in Gods
eternal plan;
We're formed to soften, sOOthe refine. exalt and
comfort man,
And rule him as the angels rule by deeds of peace
and love-"

FANS
IN THE CHURCH
Presbyterian Edifice First IN
State to Use.

An innovation was introduced TO q
large CONGREGATION last night at Il
First Presbyterian church, When
four electric revolving fans, "hlcn
had been installed during the week,
we're set in motion at the order OF
Rev. James H. Northrup pastor OF
the church. The effect was o
delightful. as the church was unus-
ually crowded last night, due IN a
measure to the attendance of the
class of 1912, Of the high school'
and many friends.
When the Public Service Company
was called upon by the trustees OF
the chnurch to install the fans, the
officials of that concern expressed
much surprise and remarked, III
will be the first church in the state
to our knowledge, equipped IN such
way" Rev. Mr.. Northrup Is
more than pleased with the improve
and does not expect to expert
ence much difficulty in raising his
voice, during the sermon, above the
of the fans. The fans are
erected In such a manner that eT-
cry section of the church is bene-
fitted, and the warm air propelled
towards the large windows in the
front of the edi1Ce.
