w. C. T. U.

The Woman's Christian Tenn perance Union met Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. M. A. Dorsey, with Mrs. Walter Harris as hostess.
 After a short business sesion Mrs. Dorsey entertained those present with an interesting and instructive report of the Worlds s w. c. T. U. Convention, which met recently in Brooklyn, New York. Delegates from fifty diff ferent countries were in that great gathering. The Scottish woman was there; also the En- glish woman, the Jap, the Chin- ese woman, and so on till all the fifty nations were represent ed, the total attendance includ- ing hosts of women.
 In all the session of this great body, there prevailed perfect or der, perfect system-and a thor ough kindliness of spirit. Per- haps no union in the world works with more perfect organization than the w. c. T. U., which thoughts efforts are worldwide, never falls into confusion.
 The teachings of the union are becoming more practical each year, as their statements arc based upon careful scientific in- vestigation. Below are some striking facts given out in the Worlds and National Confer ence:
 In the Swedish army, shoot ing tests showed that on days when men took no alcohol they were able to fire 359.5 shots be- fore becoming exhausted, but only 277.5 shots when thirty minutes before shooting they took as much alcohol as one would get in one and one-fourth pints of beer.
 In quick firing tests of thirty shots the men averaged 23 hits on the abstinent days, and only 3 hits on the alcohol days.
 Austrian statistics showed twice as much sickness per mem- Der in benefit societies not re- quiring abstinence as in the ab- stinence societies.
 Every eight minutes an adult dies in the United States as the direct or indirect result of drink; one death in every 20.
 Statistics from six Massachus- etts insane hospital in 1906, as- cribe 20 per cent of the admis- sions directly or indirectly to drink.
 In forty per cent of 865 immor- al, inebriate British women, there was no apparent reason why anyone of them should have become immoral but for ante cedent alcoholism.

NATIONAL DEFENSE
BECOMING AN ISSUE
Preparedness Of Country for
EventuaIities Certain To Be
Before Congress Session.

The Gardner resolution for an investi-
cation of the naval and military
strength of the nation and the purported
unpreparedness Of this country for war,
raises an issue which Congress cannot
dodge at the approaching session.
II the aGrdner resolution itself does
not come from committee, it is certain
to be discussed and voted upon In some
form during the debate on the naval
appropriation bill The national defense
will be one of the headliners in Con-
gressiOnal debate.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels was
asked at St. Louis last night to discuss
the Gardner resolution. The Secretary
said he did not intend to answer the
Gardner criticisms at this time. but he
asserted that lit would cost $1,000, ,0o0, GOO
a. year to have the best navy In the
world and a standing army of 500.OCO
men. I do not think we need them.
Our isolation is protection against in
vasicn. Our navy is in good condition
and efficient We now have in commits
sion six or eight of the best dread
noughts. We are building three ships
3 year.
Secretary Daniels will submit a re-
full needs of the navy to the President
soon.
While naval men agree that the fleet
ia in good shape, but should be larger.
there is said to be quiet but serious
criticism about the Navy Department
regarding certain administrative details.
Secretary Daniels. it is said. has grad
ually restored the old bureau system:
which Secretary Mayer abolished, and
for which he submitted the so-called aid
system Under the bureau system. 1t Is
pointed out, friction is bound to arise.
The civilian secretary becomes the
arbiter Of technical problems. and which
leads to argument that technica! men
should pass finally upon technical af-
fairs. The withdrawal of Secretary
Daniels support of the aids is also said
to have brought on friction between the
aids and bureau chiefs.
Secretary Daniels has offset admins
trative troubles to certain extent. how
ever. by getting two battleships each
year from Congress, and the adequate
navy men are encouraged over the gen.
eral outlook.

REED FACES BATTLE
FOR SENATE PLACE
Missourian Insurgent to Meet
Governor Major in Race for
Nomination.

Senator James A. Reed of Missouri
has q fight on his hands to return to
the Senate. for Gov. Elliott N. Major
has decided to get into the Democratic
race against him.
Senator Reed is one Of the Democrats
who have parted company with the
Wilson Administration. Governor
Major is expected to run as a supporter
of the Administration. Thus will arise
the proposition whether q Democratic
insurgent has any show OF political
subsistence in the Commonwealth Of
Missouri The Missouri Senator has
been the chief of the Democratic in
surgents. For. as a rule. the President
indicated what we wanted and Demo-
cratic House members and Senators
have hastened to see that he got IL.
Not so with Senator Reed, he has done
about as he pleased.
On the currency bill he opposed
some features. On the nominations
for the Federal Reserve Board Sena.
tor Reed fought Thomas d. Jones, OF
Chicago, so hard that Jones name
was elimina ted. Then when the Clay
ton trust bill, as revamped in con-
ference was put up to the Senate,
Reed assailed its emasculation in a
way that fairly took away the breath
of the Senate. a betrayal Of the
Baltimore platform was one OF the
milder of the characterizauons Reed
gave the conference report on this
bill. a report the President had ap-
proved.
Reed has been fighting most OF the
time since he vent from Iowa down
10 Missouri. He is one Of the ablest
lawyers in Congress, an astute poll
tician, not afraid OF a battle. and
given to the business Of hitting hard
knocks in an oratorical way.
