BRIDGE OVER OX0N RUN
INTERESTS THE SOUTHEAST
Congress Heights Association Con-
sidering Question Again-Will
Save Long Detour.

The question of providing a suitable
bridge over Oxon run at 4th street
southeast to connect Congress Heights
and Washington Highlands, is again
being considered by members of the
Public Improvement Association OF
Congress Heights. A few years ago
the District government acquired the
necessary property for this highway,
but it could not be used because OF
the presence of this stream of water
and the absence of bridge. Through
the efforts of several of the citizens
permission was obtained from the Com
missioners to place a temporary bridge
at this location, which bridge is now
being used to some extent, but it is not
of sufficient capacity to accommodate
both foot and vehicular travel the
present structure is of wood supported
by large cables.
a few days ago it was learned that ii
was the intention of the authorities to
abandon the iron bridge which now
crosses the old James Creek canal at
Nj street southwest, and the citizens
Immediately made application to the
Commissioners for this structure re-
questing that it be placed as a parma
nent connecting link in place of the
present inadequate bridge. Gustave
Bender, a pioneer resident of Congress
Heights and chairman of the commit
tee which succeeded in placing the
present bridge. is responsible for this
later action.
Should this highway be permanently

cent sections of Maryland a long de-
tour now necessary to reach Congress

Evangelist Cook Tells Of Conclusions
of Consecrated Christian

Inc conclusion at which the conse~
Grated Christian arrives after deep study
ana communion with God is truth. ac-
cording to Evangelist F. F. Cook of the
Peoples Pulpit Association of New York
IN his address yesterday afternoon at the
washington Temple Congregation in New
Masonic Temple. The evangelist was
discussing the question What is Truth?
He explained that to be able to arrive
at the Christians conclusion one must
nave much preparation. No man, he
said, can hope to gain a correct insight
into the deep truths which the Creator
has planned until he has gone through
processes of regeneration, each succeed
ing one of which brings out finer senses.
with which he may more readily detect
the elements of truth. All men and
women owe 1t to themselves, Mr. Cook
said, most thoroughly to develop these

Hope for Illinois Repeal.

"As matter of fact, We consider the
franchise to be SO big. SO sacred, and 50
binding an obligation, when once it has
been conferred upon women, that we ask
all our members and sympathizers in
suffrage states to go to the polls at every
primary and every election. We have
just done SO in Illinois, although we are
convinced that the limited suffrage for
women was obtained in that state in an
outrageous manner
I'VE believe that the annals Of Ameri-
can politics show no duplicate Of this act,
in which the legislature of a state arbi-
trarily forced the franchise on the women
OF that state without giving them an OPP
portunity to be heard even through the
votes OF the men. We hope and expect
to see this law repealed, but while it
stands on the statute books our women,
having mad the responsibility Of the fran
chise thrust upon them, must exercise it
as good citizens of the state"

That anti-suffragists are opposing the

believe exemption from the franchise is
one of the rights of women, was the gist
of statement issued yesterday by the
Washington headquarters of the National
Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
I'VE believe In woman's rights" says
the statement. I'VE are fighting for
Woman's rights. First in the catalogue
of woman's rights is the right of ex-
emptfon. BY that we mean exemption
from entrance into active politics and all
that 1t involves. We have an abiding
faith in both the justice and the neces-
slty of this exemption, because by virtue
OF 1t women are able to do their share of
the worlds work. Deprived Of this ex-
emptfon, woman becomes an incongruity.
Called upon to do double duty, she will
