Nine Hundred Saloons Closed
(By United Press Associations

(By United Press Associations)
Cleveland, Nov. 24.-There are only
900 fewer ceases" in Cleveland than
there were when "the boys" went
home Saturday night. Nine hundred
saloons, which on Saturday offered
any quantity of spirituous solace to
the thirsty wayfarer, today were
closed. The 900 emporiums were re-
fused licenses by the new county COM
mission.
The saloonkeepers, however, are not
accepting the refusal without fight.
They have organized to contest the
new law under which they were re-
fused license renewals. 1t is planned
to institute suit in the federal courts
protesting that the new law conflicts
with section of the federal courts
providing against the taking of prop
erty without due process of law.

use. 1t is practically suicide to at

THE HARD WORK
BY Walt Mason

Sometimes l get sore and ranty
DER the work l have to do, and / rip
around the shanty till the atmosphere
is blue. "Why," l ask the cat, "in
thunder should fellow toll and slave?
All his skirmishing for plunder
merely brings him to the grave. You
are wise, old cat, in dreaming, dream
ing of your feline joys, while the hu-
man chumps are screaming for some
prize not worth the noise: you are
wise, you derned old tabby, dreaming
as the minutes scoot, while men wear
their tempers shabby chasing after
Dead Sea fruit" Then | walk three
blocks or seven, just to soothe my
nerves few, and encounter ten or
'leven men who have no work to do.
Men as good as / or better, who are
nathless down and out, shackled by
misfortune's fetter, all their hopes
gone up the spout. Men whose pow
erty is shrieking, men of evil luck
the sport; men who spend the long
days seeking work, just work, of any
sort. Then | go back to my shanty
in chastened frame Of mimi, having
seen worse hell than Dante, and re.

TO Raise Freight
by United Press Associate

(By United Press Associations
Washington, Nov. 24-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission began
hearings today to determine whether
fifty-two railroads east of the Mis-
sissippi and south of the Ohio and
Potomac shall be permitted to raise
rates on an average of 5 per cent.
Louis Brandeis is the commissioners
attorney.
1t was expected the commission
would rule against the increase.
President Willard of the Baltimore
and Ohio testified that the advances
are essential to enable road to make
a reasonable interest on the invest
ment. His testimony, with that of
President Delano of the Wabash, is
expected to consume two days.
Willard, spokesman for forty-nine
roads, pleaded that advanced eXpendi-
lures was the cause of the demand
for advance rates. He said arbitration
and mediation had boosted the wages
of employees and that safety and labor
laws had increased the expenses
enormously. He declared the roads af-
fected earned $16,333 900 less last year
than the year preceding. AS result
of the diminishing returns, witness
said the roads normal development
of facilities were checked.
Delano spoke for lines east of the
Mississippi and west of Pittsburg. He
said the prosperity of the entire ter
ritory would be jeopardised if the
commission does not grant the in

Expedition at MOllendO

(By United Press Associations)
Mollendo, Peru, Nov. 24.-Mer-
chants and manufacturers of South
America already are planning for
vastly increased trade relationships
with merchants and manufacturers of
the United States upon the opening
of the Panama canal to commerce, ac-
cording to statements made today by
the members of the American "com-
mercial expedition" which arrived
here this morning on board the Pa
cific Steam Navigation Company
liner California, from Callao. They
left by rail few hours after their
arrival, for Arequipa.
SO far the expedition" has visited
Colon, Payta, Teten, Pascasmayo, Sa-
laverry, Gallon, and Lima. Many de-
clare today that the opening of the
Panama canal will mean that the
United States will very shortly take
its rightful place as the producer Of
goods for the vast South American
markets, which up to the present time
have been almost completely monop-
olized by European merchants and
manufacturers. Everywhere, they
declare, they have been met with ques-
tions regarding supplying of goods
by American producers.

HOUSE COMMITTEE ON
"WOMEN VOTES" is AIM

Washington, Nov. 24-To convince
congress and the people that woman
suffrage has passed the stage of aca-
demic discussion and propaganda and
has become live political issue is
one of the most important things that
the women hope to accomplish by the
national suffrage convention, which
will be held here from November 29
to December 5.
A constitutional amendment grant
ing the vote to the women of the
United States is what they ask, and
as first step toward success they
have considerable hopes of obtain
ing a committee of the house on
woman suffrage. President Wilson
has indicated that he favors the es-
tablishment of such committee.
When the New Jersey. women were
here last week he told them that he
had just been talking the suffrage
matter over with several congress-
men.
Congressman Harry of the house
committee on rules has announced
that continuous hearing on the
question will be held before his COM
mittee beginning Tuesday, December
3, and lasting as long as anyone has
anything to say on either sides.
This hearing will undoubtedly re-
solve itself into the greatest debate
on the question of equal suffrage
that has ever been held in the United
States. Both the suffragists and the
antis will be represented by their
ablest speakers of both sexes. 1t will
also doubtless be the most practical
discussion which has ever been held
on the subject.
Next to the establishment of the
committee the most burning question
before the convention is how to raise
enough money to carry on its work.
The demands upon the national or
ganization are increasing rapidly, and
it is hoped at this gathering to put
it on a sound financial basis.

Women in the Civil War

Indianapolis News: A fine thing
in motive and act is the addition to
an appropriation bill by the senate
of. sufficient money to build me-
mortal to American women, south
and north, who served the sick and
wounded during our great war. There
should be no doubt of the measure.
The memorial will be appropriately
used as headquarters by the Red
Cross, which will contribute 100000
and will provide for it's upkeep. The
service thus memorialized was one of
the most unselfish that ever ennobled
the earth. We must not forget that,
when our great war was fought, sur
gerry was almost butchery compared
with what it is today. Trained nurs-
ing was unknown. There were few,
if any, adjuncts in all the art of
healing now supplied by science as
the commonest of things. So it was
not merely the dangers Of war which
these devoted women faced, but a
battle with all the horrors of suffer-
ing and sickness for the relief Of
which there was little more than COM
mon sense and infinite sympathy and
frequently with the scantiest of ma
terial means.
This was particularly the case with
the women of the south. These wom-
en-, additionally, suffered what we OF
the north knew nothing of-the hor-
rors of actual war. 1t was at their
doors. The peaceful countryside in
the south, deserted by boys in their
teens and men, with women and the
blacks on guard alone, at any time
was invaded by armed forces battling
back and forth. We of the north felt
the war in the losses that came to
our firesides by the deaths at the
front. But we knew nothing more of
it than this. 1t is well, then, that
this memorial should be to the wom-
en- of the south also. 1t is an official
expression from united country of
rare service. In any other war we
should not have such sacrifices. Such
women would not leave their firesides
to 60 to the front. The Red Cross
trained nurses would step to the
front just as trained soldiers would
do. We have passed the time when
the sacrifice of mothers and wives
and sisters shall be made as it was
made during our great war. Fitting,
indeed, is great memorial to them.

San Diego, Nov. 24-Lieutenants
Ellington and Kelley of the army avia-
ton corps, were killed by fall in an
aeroplane, while flying over North
island. They were at great height
when the machine plunged down. The
cause was unknown after the first ex-
animation of the craft, which was
shattered. Both died instantly.
These deaths bring the fatalities Of
the army school here to five. Kelley
was thirty-two and Ellington twenty
four. They were returning from a
successful flight over Point Iona and
the ocean, had been up about five
minutes and were descending when the
accident occurred. An official investi-
cation has been ordered.
Kelley was a native of Kentucky
and Ellington was born in North Car
olina. The machine was No. IA of the
huge army type. The officers say the
men were making routine flight and
that they attempted no fancy flying.

Prison Taint and the Crime Taint

San Francisco Bulletin: Residents
of Napa county are reported to have
objected strongly to the plan recently
proposed by the state board of control
to establish an "honor camp" near
Yountville. They did not like the idea
of having in their neighborhood what
they probably thought of as a "gang
of convicts." If they had stopped to
think a little they might have hesitat-
ed before letting their prejudices get
away with them in that way. A man
never gets to an honor camp, as the
camps have been conducted in other
states, until he has proven to the salts
faction of his jailers that he is not a
dangerous man. 1t would be safe
bet that even the people who objected
SO strenuously to having prisoners
for neighbors could not tell one of
these honor men from an ordinary, un-
arrested citizen, were he dressed in
everyday clothing.
The fact is that the general attitude
toward prisoners and ex-prisoners is
but an instance of an arbitrary, artifi-
cial distinction such as may be found
here and there in society. The artifi-
ciality of it is indicated by the diff
ference in our way of looking at those
who have committed crime and escap-
ed the consequences, and those who
have committed crime and suffered
for it. 1t is not so much the crime
that taints the man as the punishment
meted out to him. The taint is a
prison taint, not crime traint.
