Bile gresides, our families, our own af-
fairs-and forget.
Sunday, sitting in our cushioned
pews, We nod assent to the scriptural
declaration that this woman who cries
out in the night is our sister; we ask
God to remember her and help her;
and then we go home and over our
bountiful dinners forget her; all the
week through we grudge greedily for
more money and hug our comforts
closer to ourselves, giving no more
thought or sympathy to this Sunday

ELABORATE DANCE.

Outclassing anything OF its kind
ever given in this city the annual
Easter ball of the Phi Delta Kappa
fraternity held last evening in the
Pythian Temple, marked a new era
in the social world. and any affair
Of this kind given again by any sim
liar organization will have a hard
time to Guido the beautiful party of
last evening
The hall had never been so beau
tifully or so deliberately decorated as
last evening. Strands of ribbons in
red and black had been brought from
one end of the gallery to the east end
of the hall forming a lattice work.
Among the ribbons were intermingled
green boughs, this giving a most at
tractive and pretty effect. At various
intervals were placed electric lights
capped with rosebud shades. French
baskets filled with red carnations and
ferns were suspended from different
points in the hall. The orchestra was
screened in by pretty bank of palms,
ferns and rubber plants. The Heidel-
berg orchestra of Dayton, Ohio, fur
nished the dance music, the Wright
Original Saxophone trio of Columbus,
Ohio, being unable to send the origin
al trio and the members would not
take substitute. The music was ex-
cellent and added to the success of
the affair. A committee composed of
Mr.. Herbert Cotton, chairman, Mr..
Fred Bollmeyer, Mr.. Gerald Fitzgib-
Mr Nv. Tor RI
Rowe arranged for the party, and to-
day they are being congratulated by
those who attended this charming and
elaborate event. At the west end of
the hall directly above the west en-
trance had been erected a large cleo
trical design bearing the inscription
Phi Delta Kappa. During the evening
this was lighted by the means of
myriads of electric lights. The scene
presented by the electrical effect was
beautiful and will be long remember
ed by the guests. The dresses worn
by the women guests were very hand
some and added to the beauty of the
setting. The party was chaperoned
by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Roser and
Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Lichtenfels.
The grand march began at nine
o'clock and was led by Mr.. Meyer of
Cincinnati. and Miss Mable Keller.
At the midnight hour the guests were
invited to the lower hall where a
luncheon in two courses was served.
The tables were appointed in crystal
candles tied with black ribbons and
capped with beautiful red shades

joyed until three O'Clock. The pro-

THE PROBLEM.
So many men must slave and work

So many men must slave and work
from morning until night,
To meet high cost of living; they
must make Drawer fight
Than any hero of the wars whose
valor gains acclaim;
A family man just works and dies;
few ever hear his name.
What time has he to know the vote
that's right from one that's
wrong?
A hasty glance at paper or word
from passing throng
Is all the education that he gets,
it's mere hearsay;
So willy politicians get their work
In day by day.
This seems a locked-up problem,
with no hope that one can
see;
But give the votes to women and
perhaps they'll find the key.

.PANlCS WORSE THAN WARS
Mr. Vreeland Says Monetary
Plan Will Prevent Them.

Washington, Feb. 6--"It IS my opinion
that money panics have brought more
losses and suffering TO the American peo-
pie than all the wars in which they have
been engaged. barring alone the loss OF ife

House to-day.

rcncy reform submitted To- Congress by
the Monetary Commission a the most ef-
fective method OF doing away with panics

and removing financial affairs from con-
troll by special interests or by certain re-
stricted localities
We have had money panic on an
average Of about once in ten years for
the last half century" he said In the
opinion Of economists and huancicrs those
panics are entirely unnecessary"
Mr. Nreeland said that the plan for a
national reserve association proposed In
the Monetary Commmission's report would
solve the problem.
The reform OF our banking and cur
rency system must be kept out Of poll
tics" he added. There is no present
division between parties on this subject.

economic point Of view rather than from
