East Fifteenth street. Mrs. Brown told
OF meeting OF the auxiliary when re-
port was made regarding the disposition
Of a child who was born In the institu-
ton. The infant was adopted by a child
less couple. A letter written by its
foster mother was read to the assembled
members Of the organization. 1t was
couched in the following terms:
Helen has won our hearts COM
pletely. She says her prayers every
night and plays with her dolls and toys
with evident delight. She has been
scolded three times for being naughty
and has had two spankings -"
At this point the reading was inter-
rupted by cries Of Good good. That
woman has fine sense. Don't let us for
get the spankings."
And yet" said Mrs. Brown. there
was not woman among us who did
not love little Helen with all our hearts
She had been taught while at the home
that penalties would be exacted for dis
obedience and breaches of discipline and
the kind woman who adopted her deter
mined that the discipline which ruled at
the establishment should continue in
her new abode
Mrs. Brown said she observed dis
the part Of women of society to make
the social power they possess serve some
useful and humanitarian end.
"Much has been said of women
sphere and men have cried vainly to
define it," she said But / think the
sphere of a woman is any place where
she can accomplish some lasting good. In
earlier times when men undertook to
restrict women TO certain functions and
certain rather vaguely defined spheres
OF activity, or rather inactivity it was
generally understood that her only OBJ
ject in seeking association with her
sisters was to arrange for some more or
less inane social function.
THAT time, however. has gone and
forever. No matter how frivolous
women may be individually. collectively
they are impressed with the fact that
they have something more to do than
merely entertain. In every assembling,
| of my sex to-day there is some dom
| inant or dominating idea which has fol
| its ultimate aim the good of the com
munity. Women of wealth and infiu-
ence when their attention is called to th'
problems of the poor no longer shrug
| their shoulders and laconically remark
The poor We have always with you
They arise and prepare TO wrestl'
| with the problem. And they do It will
that intensity and devotion 50 charac
teristic OF aroused femininity. The i'm
provement along these lines In recen
years Is remarkable. I attribute II t.
the fact that man have let down thu
bars and have either voluntarily OF

ATTENDS CONFERENCE

Senator T. J. Raney left We'd
nesday night for Oklahoma City
to attend the Methodist General
Conference. The general confer
ence is the law-making body of
the Methodist church and meets
quadrenially. The conference is
national in its scope, as it is COM
posed of delegates from each an
nual conference of the entire
church. and it is therefore one of
the greatest assemblages of church
men in the world. 1t is quite an
honor to Newark that one of our
citizens has been chosen as a dele
case to this conference.

dent of public instruction, with
the view of modifying that Sec
ton of the law so as to remove
the prejudice that exists against
it. Not because the law is wrong,
but to secure harmony amongst
the people and build up good
schools all over the state. The

that channel they expect to edu-
cate all the people in the laws of

W0MANS SUFFRAGE
BILL UP TO CONGRESS
Liquor and Suffrage Amendments
Reported From Committees With
out Recommendation

Joint resolutions proposing
amendments to the federal conSti-
tuition to extend the right of suf-
frage to women and for nation
wide prohibition have been report
ed to the lower house of congress
without recommendation. This
leaves both proposals to the house
for decision without suggestions
from the committee.
The action of the committee en-
ables the house 10 directly reach a
vote if sufficient strength devel-
ops. 1t would be interesting to
note the manner in which the rep.
resentatives meet the issues, and
it is believed there will be much
sidestepping and evasion to keep
from going on record when efforts
are made to push the measures to
a vote.
The womans suffrage amend
ment provides that the right of
Citizens of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or abridg-
ed by the United States, or by any
state, on account of SEX
The prohibition amendment pro-
posed by Representative Hobson
of Alabama prohibits the sale,
manufacture for sale, importatio II
for sale and expectation for sale
of Intoxicating liquors for bever-
age purposes" 1t would allow
congress to regulate the traffic in
Aiquor for sacramento, medicinal,
or scientific purposes or for use in
the arts" 1t does not prohibit the
individual from manufacturing for
his own use.

HELD WITHOUT BAIL

A. J. Johnson who shot and kill
ed a blacksmith named Barnett at
Shelbyville one day last week, was
given a preliminary hearing and
bound over to the grand jury
without bail.
From testimony at the prelimin-
airy trial it seems that Barnett was
murdered without any warning
whatever.
Johnson offered no testimony in
his own behalf but says he has a
clear conscience over the matter
and that his side of the affair will
be given when the proper time
comes.
1t is said that sentiment in the
community is strongly against
Johnson.

BAPTIZING ENDS IN
WEDDING CEREMONY
Young Couple Spring Surprise on
Congregation Gathered at Creek
to Witness Baptizing

An all-day service was held at
the Galloway ford last Sunday.
Song service and preaching was
held in the forenoon, Rev. G. L.
Fink conducting the services.
Dinner was served on the
ground, and in the afternoon Rev.
R. L. Finley preached, after which
the baptismal rites were admins
tered by Rev. G. L. Fink.
Quite surprise was sprung on
the preachers and the congrega-
ton when Rev. Fink was called
upon by a young couple present
to close the days services with a
marriage ceremony.
Dave Wilson and Miss Iona
Duncan drove out in the afternoon
IN a buggy, and arriving there
just as the preacher was getting
ready to begin the baptizing, they
drove up on the bank of the creek
so they would be near as he came
out of the water. When he had
finished and was coming out they
Slgnaled him to come to the buggy.
The groom handed him a marriage
license with the request to pro-
coed with the ceremony, Rev.
Fink had just come out of the
creek and the water was stream
ing from his clothes, but he never
puts off doing anything that will
add to the happiness of others, so
he made the surprising announce
ment that a wedding would take
place, and proceeded with the
ceremony that united Dave VIII
son and Miss Iona Duncan in the
bonds of holy wedlock.
Congratulations and good wish
es were showered upon the happy
young couple in a most profuse
manner by the surprised and de-
lighted congregation, thus bring
ing the days services to a close in
a most happy manner.

A GREAT ACE in
WHICH TO LIVE
Although Our Day Has Many Dis
advantages it is the Day of
Active Accomplishments

Mr.. Editor.-It is said this is an
age of unrest because it is an age
of unbelief. It is an age when the
masses are so busy that they for
get to guard the legacy of the
fathers. 1t is an age that has seen
offices bought and sold; has seen
representatives of the masses be-
come rich by the sale of special
rights to the few. 1t has seen gov
ernors and congressman and sena-
tors placed in their offices by few
wealthy men to do as they are
told. 1t is an age when sovereign
states sell an oligarchy of brewers
the privilege of running their citi-
zens. 1t is an age of white slavery
worse than the slavery of the COL
ored race; a slavery that knows no
Mason and Dixon line.
1t is said that twice as many
men are killed in the manufactur-
ing establishments of a single year
as were killed in the Spanish
American war.
This is an age of the most stu
pendous concentration of wealth
the world has ever known. Two
hundred families control more
wealth than all the rest of the 90
100000 Americans combined. Yet
1t is said 1t is not an age without
hope, as long as a nation can pro-
duce so many great and good men
that cannot be bought or sold.
While it is said that it takes more
courage to refuse a fortune for a
single legislative vote than it does
to march out upon the battlefield.
Yet it said there has been no
age in America that has presented
such a chance for men and women
to invest their lives to advantage,
and if you like a quiet age you
were born in the wrong time, but
if you feel the thrill of living in a
fighting age you should rejoice for
our age is a battling age for every
form of political corruption is be-
ing discovered and attacked. The
men who attack are joining hands
with the men who construct. Pro-
test and progress are marching
side by side. 1t is also said that
back in the rear there is an army
of young men and women of this
land of ours shouting the slogan,
a saloonless nation by 1920. If this
is the leaven of the Twentieth
Century of this democratic nation.

ANOTHER BUSINESS
HOUSE WILL 60 UP
T. H. Henderson Will Erect Hand
some Brick Business House on
South Front Street

7. H. Henderson of Huntington,
who recently purchased the lot
adjoining the Newark Lumber
Company's new brick building,
contemplates erecting a handsome
brick business house on the lot in
the near future.
Mr.. Henderson stated to The
Journal a few days ago that he
had fully decided to build, but
that he would probably not begin
work on the building until some
time in the latter part of the sum-
mer or the early fall.
Mr.. Henderson has unlimited
confidence in the future growth
and advancement of Newark and
considers business property here
good safe investment.
Mr.. Henderson will erect bull
ding to cover his entire lot, and is
considering the matter of making
it two stories high.

we should get busy in Arkansas
and fight some ourselves. One of
the evils that exists with us today
is the all-absorbing liquor question
that is destroying so many of our
young men, and old as well, who
make their wives worse than wild
ows, and children worse than or
phans. What is the raw material
of the saloon? The bright.eyed
youths of the country just emerg-
ing from the parental roof with
the imprint of his mothers kiss
still warm upon his brow. Where
is the finished product? Yonder,
staggering home at the midnight
hour; awaiting him, mother, wife
or children that shrink at his COM
ing. The saloon must go. Chris
tians are praying all over this ma
ton for it to go, and they have
never lost a moral battle in the
history of the world when they
turned to their God for succor in
the attitude of humble, trustful
prayer. A. r. ALEXANDER.
