To the Editor OF The Times-D Dispatch
Dear Sir,
have read with interest editorial recent
~ appearing in THE Times Dispatch on the
Kenyon bill, recently fought through congress"
abolishing the red light or segregated districts
In Washington. You believe that such action,
unless undertaken simultaneously in every
American CITY," will result in worse than fail
ure."
Now I have been sincerely anxious to
similar bill adopted by present legislature.
Such bill--not the Iowa law. but of similar
tmport--has already been carefully prepared for
consideration by legislators, and will, I am
told, soon be taken up by them. For one. 1
hope will have the strong support of all who
are Interested in the welfare of State
j find constantly the objection raised, that IL
commercaized vice to be confined In
segregated districts and given quasf-legal stand
ing it will be scattered over our cities, and
uncontrolled by law
First: Let ask what such bill is aimed
at. Do It's advocates expect to eradicate i'm
morality OF this kind Does the triumph OF
pious but fanatical supporters of this measure
impurity? If so, agree with you that they
doomed to disappointment so long as hu-
man nature remains as 1t is l believe the pas
sage of such law is triumph of righteous
ness In the sense of taking important step
in the direction of doing right and abating an
evil But what Is the evil such law will abate?
You admit have monster" to fight But
lis that monster only inordinatc passion and i'm
purity? That Is monster which no human
law can successfully contend with. These laws

TIE BROOKS CONSPIRACY

The reason the Lena Brooks political machine is after John Gonna is because lie was chairman of the Socialist Campaign committee for the Fourth Division ill the campaign of 1912 for ell ection of delegate to Congress, and act ing i'll that capacity, opposed the treach- cling through the Interior ot Alaska to- gether against his wishes as chairman And also for inquiring into certain other acts of theirs, which were, to say the least very suspicius. Gonna knew that Brooks was candidate for delegate, knew that he was repudiated by the Socialists presumably oil account of his connections with the notorious scab O. Connor in the 1910 campaign Gonna had got wind of some other things that happened during the 1910 campaign in which the said Brooks was supposed to know considerable about Campaign funds were said to be plentiful that year in Fairbauks Wickcrsham is quoted a $ saying that many thousands were used in Fairbanks alone, and 1t is common \ talk that several members of the O'Con- HOT gang handled some of those funds.

- system of moral philosophy? ! Can there De found absolutely nothing original in ito
 Was Christ a great teacher? or mere ly a very poor i1nitator?
 My pupil, these are pertinent and sol emn questions, and they demand of us an explicit and truthful answer. We must not sidestep tile issue; we must not evade; we must not equlvocate. It is our duty to play fair, even tho at the end of the game we sHal1 he compelled to relinquish some of our most cherish ed illusions
 Yes! Christianity is entirely borrow ed system of moral ethics.
 No there is absolutely nothing origin al ill it.
 Yes! Christ was an initator and 2 very | poor one dl Iudl.
 Now however able and careful critic may be he must not make such positive assertions as these unless he is prepared to produce the II most unimpeachable authority to sustain his contentious, hence We turn to history to corroborate CUT statements and to prove our postul- ation. In our study of history we stum- ble upon at least one very strange and startling fact---a fact that sheds a food of intellectual light upon the subject of this lesson and that fact is The hu- man race has had many saviours; fully ! two score, and perhaps many more. of this number about 1fal have suffered crucifxion; nearly all HsE e been called the sons of God and saviGas of mankind and practically all have been reputed Q virgin birth.
 Let ne offer for your edidcation the names of a few of the saviours of the human race, the date of their cruci6xion and also some fragments of their eth ical teachings: some of the golden pre- cepts that have fallen from their lips. And remember that shall make no statements regarding these so-called supernatural men---I shall quote no his tory bearing upon their birth, life, death or moral teachings except such as is accepted and indorsed by nearly all of our great institutions o learning and by the ablest Christian scholars of the age.

Ill.,, ana the WdlleI 1<dlllGISlSh NdtlOudl Executive Secretary:
 Dear Comrades:
 This Local respect fully calls your attention to the follow ing facts: We enter our protest against the manner in which Mrs Lena Morrow Lewis has pretended to represent the Socialist party ill Alaska, and especially ill this Fourth Division, for the reason. that she has not organized single branch of the party since her arrival ill the Territory last July, 1915. She has, however, constantly advocated the nom inat1on of John NJ. Brooks for Delegate to Congress. We have positive proof that she and Brooks were continuously stating that Brooks should have received the nomination instead af Krauczunas, and Brooks expense to the amount of S56.0O was paid by Mrs. Lewis out of the collections taken up on tie creeks near Fairbanks, and she had no authority whatever to pay such expenses by any one. She reported 10 your office that she was authorized to do 50 by the Fairbanks local, which was not true, as the records of the Fairbanks local will show. We herewith enclose you a certified copy of her report to our campaign committee of 1912. This local has served notice on Mrs Lewis, as your temporary, Territ- orial Secretary, that we will not support Brooks should he receive the nomination We have further notified her not to place his name oil the referendum by reason of the law, a copy of which we herewith enclose.
 We are convinced that Mrs. Lewis and Brooks have been playing the old party politics ill order to nominate Brooks, and we will not support him if nomin- ated We demand Mrs. Lewis removal from the office of temporary Territorial Secretary for the reason that we believe that we cannot get fair deal at her hands

because Germany has been the ag- gressor since the beginning of the war.
 War on such mighty scale has never been waged before in the worlds history. The number of men engaged on either side are enough to stagger imagination. We read of 5000 900 Germans being in the field, and it is impossible to fully realize what the figures mean. When we also know what the armies of England, Belgium France and Russia, to say nothing of Austria and Servia, are also engaged in this titanic war, then we must ap- preciate that the loss of life on the various fields of battle has been something tremendous.
 Only the figures can tell of this tra- gedy in it's bloody completeness. No word picture can bring before the minds eye more than detached glimpse of a war conducted on such a scale. The standards by which we try to measure such desolation and such carnage are entirely inadequate. Fire and smoke of battle blacken cities; human blood makes red the fertile fields. Towns of France and Belgium that have stood stanch and firm through ancient wars of the past are now in ruins, but the real story has yet to be told.
 The ears of humanity must be pre- pared to be shocked when column af- ter column is published of those who gave up their lives for their country's sake. The story will then be told in it's terrible and pathetic simplicity Commercial Appeal.

THE FENCE LAW.

To prevent confusion in voting on the Fence Law, read this care fully.
 The Legislature of 1913 pass eel a bill making a four wire fence lawful fence in Nevada County, provided the same is ratified by the people in the coming election. There is printed on each ballot "For Fence Law" and Against Fence Law" If the voter favors a change in the law from what it is now, he should erase the words Against Fence Law'-leaving the ballot read For Fence Law" and his ballot would then be counted in favor of a four wire fence.
 If the voter thinks all fences should be hog tight, then he should erase the words For Fence Law"
 To vote For Fence Law" means that four wires are all that will be required.
 To vote Against Fence Law" means that your vote is counted for a five foot hog tight fence, as the law stands now.
 If a majority of the voters are For Fence Law" then after January 1, 1915, a four wire fence is all that is required.

COPENHAGEN, Sent. a.

COPENHAGEN, Sept 81
| The kaiser was reviewing a regiment
of the Imperial Grenadiers. commanded
! by his son, Prince Oscar, after the battle
| Of Virton.
81 salute YOU" he said, addressing the
men, just after embracing the Prince. II
have often seen your gallant regiment at
maneuvcr. 1t is great pleasure for
me to meet you again on conquered
ground. The heroic deeds at virton have
been engraved ON the history of war
forever in golden letters Your regiment
has upheld the glorious traditions of
your forefathers in 1870 and 1871.
"The armies of the Crown Prince and
Duke Albrecht of Wurttemberg have ad-
vanced VIGOROUSLY. Our Eastern army
has thrown three Russian army corps
over the frontier and two more Russian
army corps have been captured in the
field. For all these victories we have
one to thank. and He is our ancient
God, who is over us.
The Kaiser again kissed his son and
then drove off in his motor The fog of
German warfare does not obscure the
War Lords movements, and 1t is pos
shle to follow him from place to place
by means of inspired pits or news that
creep occasionally into the German news
papers.
The other day the Kaiser visited the es-
tablishment of a Protestant religious or
der which had been turned into a military
hospital. He walked through the rows of
wounded soldiers, spoke to the men and
grasped the outstretched hands of those
unable to salute or rise from their beds.
He afterward sent a rose to every
wounded soldier who did not have the
honor OF a personal chat. Incidentally he
distributed iron crosses right and left.
The clergyman who had the care of these
wounded soldiers seems to have addressed
the Kaiser with too heavy heart.
I'VE have to make sacrifices in these
times" said the Emperor, and he remind
ed the clergyman that he had six sons
fighting in the war.
Yes. your Majesty. that is our pride
and happiness" responded the chaplain.
Il did all in my power to keep peace"
proceeded the Kaiser, but our enemies
would not have peace. Now we will have
to crush them to the ground. Don't you
agrpe?"
The meek clergyman, in relating this
conversation attCrward, said he had moth
ing to do but to agree with the Emperor
and assure him lie was prepared to make
every sacrifice for the fatherland.
Copenhagen just now is flooded with
German news. 1t can only be relied on
when sent by Danish correspondents in
Berlin From Photographic prints eX-
hibited in the newspaper windows, from
thrilling movies shown in the Copenhagen
picture theatres and occasionally from
reliable German newspapers, it is posi-
BILE to get a glimpse of the German army

Coarse jests at the expense of the Brit
