TEMPERANCE AND SUFFRAGE

Editor Press-As the Press seems
to be fully alive to the evils OF the
saloon in the county as well as the
state in general, l am taking the lib
ertv of asking the permission of a
little space for the enclosed clipping
culled from "The Farmers Wife,"
also for a few remarks on the subject
of suffrage.
"The advocacy that Illinois is going
to the bad, and that women vote for
politics instead of principle, was
smashed to smithereens on November
4. when the women of that state got
out and voted four to one in favor
of no license in 25 different municipal
tiles. In Jacksonville the total vote
showed an excess of women's votes
over those cast by men to the number
of 80. In many of the towns the vote
of women was almost equal to that OF
men.
"IIlinois is crucial field field
wherein women have not been wholly
united in the desire for suffrage. but
where it has been granted to them.
The results of this election prove that
when women have duty to perform
they measure we'll their moral re-
sponsibility, and go out and perform
that duty to the best of their ability"
1t may be little early for politics,
but not too early to stir up the minds
of the women voters on the subject of
their privilege of helping to vote
our beloved state dry al. the. coming
election in November Of this year.
Through the courtesy and chivalry of
the male voters of the state, you. our
sisters, have been given the franchise;
now to what good use will you put it !?
Eve wanted the apple. she wanted il
very much; indeed she wasn't satisfied
until she got it. She never made the
best use of it; now we see the con-
sequences. Now here is the chance of
making the best possible use of your

policies and strength of other coun-
tries, the program has been found
sound. Year by year the general boart
with the full support of its president
Admiral Dewey, has estimated for the
ships necessary to slowly reach the
strength outlined in its program
Annually this estimate has been cut
down by the administration, to be
again cut by congress, because the
people would not realize the neces-
sity for such large expenditures.
"We have a naval policy. The peo-
pie should learn that it is to their in
terest to force it's adoption. Congress
will gladly appropriate if the people
make known their will in the mat
ter. Time has passed when mere
numbers and wealth mean strength.
Preparation is everything. We must
allot the necessary proportion of
wealth to be devoted to strength in
time to be turned into munitions Of
war and to be used in training the re-
quired number of men.
"All men believe in striving for uni
versal peace, only the methods by
which they propose to reach this end
differ greatly. 1t seems to me- that
those who advocate disarmament as ,
prelude to universal peace mlsread
the history of the political develop
ment of the world. Peace has spread
over larger and larger political d,vis-
ions as military strength has been
systematized and preparation for war
perfected. A disarmed peace means
such peace as has existed in China
for many years. And now China is
being parcelled out to the armed ma
tions. We must form a union of
armed nations and then provide the
international force, if we would pur-
sue the direct path toward universal
peace"

ENGLISH PARLIAMENT
is CONVENED TODAY

London, Feb. 1O.-"Now is the time
for all good men to come to the aid
of their party" was the slogan today
when, obedient to the urgent sum-
monses of the whips, legislators made
their way to Westminster for the
opening of the fourth session of King
Georges first parliament. The early
morning rush of members to appro-
pirate the best seats for the session
was larger than usual, for among the
measures scheduled to be placed on
the statute books this year are the
Irish home rule bill and the Welsh
church disestablishment bill, which
both will become laws automatically
under the terms of the veto act, after
being passed for the third time by
the commons and rejected by the
lords. These bills probably will be
passed in the commons by the gov
ernment's normal majority, but the
Unionists intend fighting every inch
of the way in the hope of turning out
their opponents on a "snap" decision,
such as they engineered on the finan-
ciaI clauses of the home rule bill when
it first came up for passage.
With Mrs. Pankhurst, Miss Annie
WV
"mice" back from their recuperation
on the continent, extraordinary police
precautions were taken to prevent any
interference with todav's ceremony by
the militants, who had announced
their intention of personally present
ing a petition to King George. Chief
of Police Sir Edward Henry was in
command, and plain clothes men
swarmed around and among specta-
tors lining the route from Bucking-
ham palace to the house OF parlla-
ment.

well as of "white slavery" and less,

robes and coronets were assembled
Ambassador Walter Hines Page, with
Mrs. Page, were spectators in the dip
lomatic gallery, the former in sober
black evening clothes.
The king and queen having taken
their seats on the throne, Gentleman
Usher of the Black Rod, Sir Henry
Stephenson was dispatched to the
members of the house of commons
who shortly afterwards appeared
headed by Speaker Lowther, Premier
Asquith and members of the cabinet
Lord Haldane, the lord high chan
cellor, kneeled and presented to his
sovereign the parchment containing
the cabinet prepared speech formaliy
opening the session.
The speech from the throne re-
ferred to the intended relntroductlon
of the home rule, Welsh disestabllsh-
ment and the anti-plural voting bills
(the last of which is up for second
passage under the veto act), and an
nounced that proposals would be laid
before parliament by the government
for the reform of the house OF lords;
and for legislation regarding land
ownership.
The principal fight of the session
will center on the home rule bill. Al
though the measure will become a law
automatically as soon as it has been
rejected by the lords, it is not yet
known just what policy the peers pro-
pose to adopt. 1t is suggested that by
deferring consideration they can avoid
the provisions of the veto act, which
saws that a bill must be rejected or
not passed during the session. Some
argue that if the session is prorogued
before the lords have taken up the bill,
it cannot become law, but the gov
ernment legal experts dispute this
contention.
Woman suffrage will also lead to
lively debate, as a private members
bill on this subject will certainly be
introduced. Notices of 1872 bills have
already been filed with the clerk of
the house, and the promoters who
have to ballot for precedence will
likely come to an arrangement where
by woman's bill will be assured OF
a good place in the list.
There will be considerable discus
sion on the navy estimates, and a
strong section of the Liberal econom-
lists will make a determined attack on

danger to the government, for al
though the Unionists would ordinarily
support Churchill against the eco
nomists, whom they call the Suicide
club" Bonar Law may deem it good
politics to draw off his party at a
critical moment and allow the govern
ment to meet defeat at the hands of
it's followers. Such defeat would of
course, necessitate immediate resig-
nation.

ADMIRAL DECLARES AGAINST

Washington, Feb. 10.-"It would

Rear Admiral Richard Wainwright,
in paper prepared for the navy
league, twas in favor of a strong navy,
if one may judge of their sentiment
from the naval planks in the plat
forms of each of the great parties.
But there has always been lack of
definite action until the advent of war
when much money has been expended
and much energy devoted to impro-
vising a navy. After the close of a
war there is again a lack of energy
with an occasional show of interest
and only spasmodic attempts to Gre

ever since the establishment Of
the navv of the United States there
has been an effort on the part of
naval officers to have a definite build

have been raised to show that we need
a definite building policy-outlining

New Parliament
To Make History
By HERBERT TEMPLE

London, Feb. 10.-The parliament
which opened today is destined tt
make history if for no other reason
than because during the coming ses
sion the last act of the long and bitter
fight for and against home rule is to
be played in the house of commons
The liberal government, supported by
condition of liberal labor member:
and Irish Nationalists, stands pledged
to carry through home rule bill which
twise has been passed by the house OF
commons only to be rejected by the
!house of lords and the government pos
sesses a sufficient majority to secure
its passage a third time. Then 1T VIII
be submitted to the king, who vii
sign it, the cabinet taking upon itseli
full responsibility, and the long flgh'
for self government by the Irish Ma
tionalists will come to victorious end
Until three years ago every at
tempt to carry through this important
measure, demanded by vast major
itv of the people of Ireland. was frus'
trated by the house Of lords, whose he
reditary members, all belonging to the
ar;stocracy. have always been the
mainstay of the conservative Unionist
or Tory party. Lloyd Georges ia
nous budget of 1909 which was bit
terly fought by the upper house
marked the great turning point III
modern English politics and the parlia,,
ment act forever broke the power OF
the reactionary lords, abollshing their
absolute veto and opening the way 70
real democratic reforms. -,
Under the new conditions Dill
becomes law even against the will OF
the house of lords when it has been
passed by three consecutive sessions
of the house of commons. 1t is under
the parliament act that the home rule
bill is now about to become law II,
spite of the strenuous opposition OF
the Tory party, which under the lead
ership of Arthur Balfour's successor,
Bonar Law, has even promised to lend
its support to threa ;ened attempt OF
the Irish province of Ulster to resist
the Dublin parliament by force OF
arms. a movement started IN Bel1ast
by Sir Edward Carson, one OF the bit
terest opponents of Irish home rule.
No one, however, is inclined to look
upon this threat of civil war as any
thing but pure bluff, so much more
as the majority of the parliamentary
of that very province
of Ulster are in favor of home rule.
The real opponents of the measure
are. indeed. a mere handful of Protest
ant Orangemen in the city OF Belfast
and the surrounding neighborhood,
who declare "home rule will mean
Rome rule"
Even these would probably have
submitted in silence to the will OF the
ma iority of the people of Ireland, but
for the fact that they have been kept
in a state of fear and excitement by
aeitators of the Unionist party.
The Unionists, indeed, do not care
the least whether Ireland gets home
rule or not, any more than do the great
majority Of English voters, but by
keeping up the fight against it they
have succeeded in delaying number OF
social reforms planned by the present
government and particularly by Lloyd
George the chancellor of the n.s ex, <,
cheouer or, as he ------'I be called IN
America, the secretary Of the treas
ury.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-06-22

When putting the eggs over to boil,
drop them into just enough water~to
cover them. If a great deal of water
is used they crack.
Wash all eggs as soon as they are
delivered to you. Do not put them in
the refrigerator until wiped clean.
Use the white of an egg for burn;
use eggshells for settling coffee and
clarifying soup.
For hoarseness, beat fresh egg
until thick with 2 tablespoons of
sugar. Eat freely and the hoarseness
will be relieved.
Many cooks do not know how to-
cook eggs. If soft cooked in the shell
is desired, drop the egg into enough
rapidly boiling water to cover them.
Draw from the fire at once, cover
tightly and allow to stand three min
utes. The egg will be smooth and
jelly-like when served.
Eggs for salad or for deviling
should be boiled 80 or 40 minutes.
