A religious ceremony is no longer
considered necessary part of the
marriage ceremony. Members of the
woman's party of Illinois went on rec
ord as favoring the elimination of
the church service in all marriages
and adhering strictly to the civil con-
tract. They admitted this after they
had adopted resolutions introduced at
the annual meeting held in the col
lege room of the Hotel LaSalle by
Mrs. LYDIA Parce. The resolutions,
which go as part of an open letter
to the legislature, assert that "the
time has passed for laws enacted by
the civil powers for the enforcement
of sanctity as well as the age when
civil laws are enforced by the prac-
tices of the church; and that the
tim ehas come when the church should
cease to try to enforce it's designs by
means Of the civil law and the legis-
lative power should resist all attempts
on the part of the church to dictate
civil legislation"

Fifteen Illinois cities, those of more
than $4,000 population, are to be given
the privilege of home rule in the regu-
lation of their utilities If Governor
Dunne's bill creating state public
utility commission becomes law. The
bill as revised would give the COM
mission power to regulate and fix
rates of interurban and local utilities
in all cities of less than $4,000, while
the others could regulate local utili-
ties through their councils or vote
to turn all power over to the state
commission. 1t also is provided that
after once voting to come under the
law these cities may later vote them
selves out. Utilities owned by mu-
inequalities are to be exempt from
regulation by the state commission.

Some smart, brainy, nice women
have organized national association
opposed to women suffrage, with
headquarters in Washington, d. c.,
and with offices in New York. These
women are fighting the suffragettes
tooth and toe nail. 1t is not sex
against sex, it is woman against wom-
an. The association opposed to wom-
en- suffrage is digging down into his
tory to find something to throw up"
to their sisters who want to vote.
One of the anti-suffragists writes
that the suffragettes need not think
they are pioneers in new movement.
She says woman suffrage was tried
in Sparta several thousand years ago
and was failure. So there.
