ILLINOIS ''sUfFS"
FACING A SPLIT
LIQUOR QUESTION BoBS UP AT
CONVENTION AND MAKES
TWO FACTIONS.

Peoria, Ill.,, Nov. IA feeling of in
tense expectancy brooded over the
meeting of the Illinois Equal Suffrage
association today because of reports
that the association may split into
dry" and so-called wet" factions.
The nominating committee went to
work ON the ticket which is to be pre-
scented tomorrow and which may in
dictate the parting Of the ways. 1t Is
well understood that Grace Wilbur
Trout will be renominated for presi-
dent. Minnie A. Watkins discussing
the situation today, said:
Although Ella S. Stewart has refus-
ed to become candidate, she has
many devoted followers and 1t is posi-
bic some one may nominate her from
the floor. There is strong demand for
her in certain quarters"
Mrs. Trout and Mrs. Stewart differ
on an important point of organization.
The former advocates the present sys-
tenn of requiring dues from clubs which
wish to affiliate with the state organ
ization. Mrs. Stewart holds that the
association needs every club 1t can
get, and asserts that the factor of dues
would prevent many Of them from
joining.
Mrs. Stewart denounced reports of a
decisive factional fight. "The sensa-
ton mongers,' she said, ARE trying to
distort into a farce what is really an
orderly contest to elect the best posi-
BILE president"

COMMISSION TO
CONSIDER RATES
WILL MEET TO DISCUSS EsTAB-
LIsHMENT- OF UNIFORMITY
OF. CLASSES.

An effort will be made next month
by the Iowa state railroad commits
sioners to arrange uniformity in the
relations between class rates on the
articles shipped into and out of Iowa.
Notice of this has been received by c..
Q. Dawson, traffic manager for the Of
tumwa Commercial association. There
Is no uniform basis for establishing Of
relationship between classes in the
state today. 1t has been found by
checking up the differences between
the class rates in Iowa by Mr.. Dawson
in the past few days, that the per cent
on second class in Iowa varies from IS
to ia In its relation to first class. The
state railroad commission has in a
number of cases in which Ottumwa
was interested, undertook to have
established a uniform relation of class
rates. The following letter. was re-
ceived by Mr.. Dawson:
You are advised that the commission
on its own motion, has Instituted an in
quiry as to the proper relationship be-
tween the several schedules of class
rates, as shown in Iowa distance tar
III published with Iowa classification
No. 15,, and has set Wednesday, Dec.
20, at 10 a. M, in the office !, Of the
board, at Des Moines, as time and
place for hearing.
The commission directs me to state
that any information or assistance you
can give the board, to be introduced at
such hearing, in revising this schedule
insofar as working towards a more
uniform percentage relationship be-
tween the classes and relative in
creases with the distance. are con-
cerned, will be greatly appreciated.
The commission further directs me
to state that 1t has in mind no de-
cided advance or reduction In such
rates, but an effort to place the said
schedule on a reasonable, consistent
basis. ks

PUBLIC MORALITY
UP TO THE STATE
SPEAKERS At PURITY CONGRESS
SAY THAT FEDERAL GOVERN
MENT is PoWERLEss.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 7.-Publlc
immortality is problem with which
the states must DEAL" said Herbert s.
Gernert of New York who delivered
the principal address at the morning
session of the International Purity
congress, which opened here today.
1.-THE federal government is doing
a great work in this field but 1t is seri-
ously handicapped by the limitations
of the constitution, the large territory
to be covered and the extent to which
the evil has grown" he continued.
Public morality is not unlike public
health, public business or public safety
in the institution which must control
it. In our plan Of government. this
duty devolves on the various states,
and today we have our departments of
health, our state commissioners of
railroads and of insurance and our
boards Of public safety.
but not so with public morality, we
have left this field practically un-
touched; and yet, it is by far the most
important. In many Of the states the
laws on morality are inconsistent and
useless. 1t is sometimes impossible
to have them enforced and yet no one
pays much attention to this absurd
state of. affairs.
"A commission of morals should be
established in each state to aid in en-.
forcement Of laws directed against
vice and to get the best moral condi-
tions in factories, schools, dance halls
and other places.
'The states should also consolidate
their laws on public morality and in
doing so make them consistent, feas.
ible and just. Fines, as penalties for
violating these statutes should be
abolished, and reformatory, Jail or
prison sentences substituted"
Lauds Police Women.
Mrs. Alice Stebbins Wells of the
Los Angeles police department said:
"The police woman has come in an
answer to modern needs. and she has
come to stay-not to displace men but
to supplement their work. For count
less ages the business world was a
mans world with women and children
secluded in the home.
when cities fully realize the value
of-woman in preventative work, there
will be such women In every city and
many where now there are few. Plain
clothes for investigations and quiet
both plain clothes and uni.
forms for parks, stations, steamboats,
and other public places, for those who
may wish to appeal to women otflcers.

How many old-fashioned remedies are
being used, which goes to show that it
is hard to improve some Of our grand

sulphur and other Ingredients, this old
fashioned brew has been made more eff
fective as a scalp .tonic and color re-
storer.
Nowadays, when our hair comes out or

the garden or garnet for herbs and
making the ''tea" ourselves, we simply
go to the nearest drug store and ask fol
a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy.

under guarantee that the money will be

Destruction of Satan and All Gods
Enemies.

EhShhhSSs
The denouement here and elsewhere
pictured is that there came down fire
from Heaven and devoured them-Sa-
tan and all those who took the side OF
self will and who indicated a measure
of disloyalty and unfaithfulness.
Many are the Scriptures which seem
to tell US of the final destruction of
Satan: as. for instance. Romans 1920.
which declares that God will ultimate
ly bruise Satan under the feet of the
Church thus asSociating the Church.
the Body of Christ. with the Lord. the
Head This corresponds with the Di-
vine statement in Eden that ultimate
ly the Seed of the woman would crush
the Selpent's head ultimately destroy
the Serpent and all that he stands for;
namely. sin and rebellion against God
Thus eventually the wages of sin and
death must be meted out TO any viii
full. persistent rebel against the Divine
Law. whether he be an outward rebel
or one secretly disloyaL The lesson is
one for all of Gods people and for the
whole world If we know the Spirit
of the Lord in respect to sin. happy are
we if we conform our lives thereto.
Let us mark well the course that will
ultimately lead to Satan's destruction
Let us mark we'll also the course of
Jesus which led to the highest glory.
Which example shall we follow? Shall
we in humility walk in the footsteps OF
our Redeemer and become His joint
heirs. or shall we take the other course
bf pride. and thus become disciples OF
The Adversary and reach his doom?
