OPPOSES SENDING
RELIEF TO EUROPE
Los Angeles Official Says That
Thousands in This Country &
Are in Need Of
Charity

Los Angeles, CAL, Now. o.
While efforts were being made
to raise funds here to succor
the victims of wars rigors in
Belgium, DR.. Milbank John
son, president of the municipal
charities commission, publish
ed a statement today, declaring
that relief sent to Europe
meant only prolongation of the
strife and suggesting that char
ity should begin at home.
Scientific methods and mod
ern civilization" says DR.. John
son, "as exemplified in the con-
duct of the warning nations in
Europe, have brought to the
combatants a realization of the
potency of suffering women and
children in compelling the con-
quered to sue for peace. If, then
Europe is determined upon a
war of determination, does it
not occur to the discerning
mind that relief may only pro-
long hostilities?
"War in Europe has thrown
thousands of men in this coun-
try out of work. The consequent
suffering and privation entailed
is appalling. These unfortun-
ates are asking not for luxuries
but for food and clothing.
Charity so it is averred, should
begin at home. Has it occurred
to the many who eagerly bark
en- to Europe's cry that they
have not contributed to the re-
lief of their own unfortunates."

SURRENDER CLAUSE
SUBJECT OF ATTACK

Washington, Nov. EN-
forcement of many thousands
of oil, iron, coal and gas leases
throughout the country hangs
on the decision of the supreme
court in the smith oil case,
printed briefs for which were
submitted to the court today.
Oral arguments may be heard
next week.
The case involves the "sur-
render clause" in the prevailing
oil lease.
The seventh United States
circuit court of appeals held
the lease between James A.
Smith Of eastern Illinois and
the Ohio Oil company unen-
forcible because of the clause
giving the oil company the
right to surrender the lease at
any time upon the payment of
one dollar. Oil attorneys now
seek to reverse this decision on
the ground that such a clause
is necessary to the develop
ment of oil fields and has been
universally Incorporated into
such contracts, even those of
the government for the leasing
of Indian lands for oil, gas and
coal prospecting.

There are many people to
whom the odor of tobacco is Of
fensive. And while it would
be an interference with person.
al liberty to attempt to sup
press the use of tobacco, still
there is considerable of the
public nuisance about the fellow
who goes into the street car,
the moving picture theater and
into the close room with his
clothing rocking from the satu-
rated odor of tobacco. Some
people put half smoked stale CT
gars in their pockets for future
consumption-and the presence
of such person is about as di-
agreeable asa broken bottle of
iodoform.-Los Angeles Times.

Votes For Women


One of the gratifying fea-
lures Of the recent election is
the advance. achieved in the
matter of equal suffrage for
men and women. This is a
movement which has made slow
progress, but which u.s., never
theless gaining GROUND every
year, and which holds tenaci-
ously all that it does gain. On
Tuesday last, while the v6ters
in some states decided against
the proposition of votes for wo-
men, two western common
wealths had the chivalry and
fairness to welcome the fair
sex to the ballot box making
now eleven states of the Union
where this rule obtains. Be-
sides these there are twenty
two states where women enjoy
partial suffrage; which leaves
only fifteen in which they are
wholly denied. In the nature of
things it is certain that the re-
naming barriers will one by
one be torn down, so that it
will only be matter of few
years until equal suffrage shall
prevail throughout the whole
United States even if the Ma
tional Congress shall persist in
refusing to adopt a constitu-
tional amendment providing for
it,.
1t is difficult to understand
the attitude Of those who OPP
pose the extension of the suf-
frage to the mothers, wives and
sisteres of men,. The so called
arguments against it can hard
ly be taken seriously. On the
average the gentler sex is at
least Of equal intelligence with
the sterner. They have a no
less vital interest in good law
and good order, in good morals
and sound conditions than the
''lords of creation" They are
quite as willing TO exercise the
suffrage as the men and quite
as capable of doing So. To some
of the influences invoked dur
ing election campaigns they are
perhaps more amenable than
men, but from others-and
| these the worser ones-they
are certainly more immune. On
social problems they may gen.
orally be reckoned on the right
side, which is not always the
case with men,. They may not
all take a large and disinterest-
ed. view of great public ques.
tions, but neither do all men
not even all men who are en-.
trusted with the power and
responsibility of handling these
questions. Their participation
in campaigns and their pres
ence at the polls tend to pre-.
serve the amenities-surely
desirable object. Finally in ev-
cry community and state where
they have enjoyed this right
the results of their exercise OF
it have been beneficial. If their
entrance into the political fielc
has disturbed some partisan
calculations, even that effect
has generally been salutary
The element that fears the
women's vote is the element
that needs exactly the repres-
sion which it fears. They
strengthen every good cause,
and will rarely be found sup
porting any other.
The leaders in the equal suf'
frape callSe have every reason

Death Ends Long Career

Washington. Jan. %. Former
Senator Shelby M. Cullom, of Ill.
inois, died here today after an
illness of more than a week, dur
ing which he lowered between
life and death.
His last words were to express
the wish that he might have
lived to have seen the completion
of the national memorial to
Abraham Lincoln.
Shelby Moore Cullom's death
ended fifty yer of continuous
public service that had made him
a figure in American national life
and brought him into official re-
lations with every President
from Abraham Lincoln to Wood
row Wilson. President Taft
once said OF him:
why here's my old friend
Uncle Shelby; he comes nearer
connecting the present with the
days of Washington than anyone
else whom | know"
AS ploughboy driving his
fathers oxen over the fresh
prairie of Illinois he has known
and talked with survivors of the
Revolution and on the rugged
foundations of a ife begun in pi-
oneer hardships of a family of
twelve children had built career
that took him to the Illinois Leg
islature as member; speaker of
the Assembly, two terms in the
governors chair, service in the
National House of Representa-
tives, and thirty consecutive
years in the United States Sen
ate.
His nearest living contempora-
ry probably is Uncle Joe" Can
non, whose senior he was some
seven years by birth and some
three years in national service.

it was announced Saturday that
at meeting of the stockholders
of the company held at the cen
trail office in Charleston several

change the name of the company.
On account of the fact that Sc
many other insurance companies
have the Southern in their names,
it has been confusing and the
company will be known as the

Gauging the State Of Trade

The Chamber of Commerce of
the United States with which
nearly all the various chambers
of commerce and civic organiza-
tons Of the sort are associated
undertook a survey of the bust
ness Of the nation. 1t was able
to get in touch with several hun
dred business men and to obtain
detailed reports Of conditions
from every state.
The general conclusion to be
drawn from the reports were that
business on the whole was in
good conditions, that where it
was not this was due to local and
climate influences.
The customary way Of testing
the pulse Of commerce and indus
try is of Indifferent value, even at
its best.
1t is based, for the most part,
more on feeling and impressions
and the indefinable waves of OPP
timism and pessimism TO which
trade is sensitive than upon &C
curate and painstaking examina-
ton of the business giant, or the
business invalid-as the case
happen TO be. If a system of
periodical guaging of business
affairs can be established per-
haps iii time the thing called
lack of confidence" will be
translated into some such def
mite terms as lack of money"
Surplus stock" "overwork"
and spring fever" Lack of
confidence" is creepy and scarey.
The other terms come under the
head of durable ailments. Learn

Body and Mind

The physiological treason why
it is well to heed the Biblical in
junction, Let not the sun 20
down upon your wrath" were
clearly presented by Prof. w.
H. Cannon in his Sunday lecture
at the Harvard Medical School.
If you are angry or vexed when
you go to bed you are likely to
deprive yourself of a good nights
rest and wake up the Eext morn
ing with a headache.
But that is not all the havoc
which anger works. DR.. Cannon
showed that it may stop diges-
ton completely and also turn so
much sugar into the blood as to
caused serious kidney trouble.
Fear and other forms Of mental
excitement produce the same CT
feet. It has long been known
