PEACE WORKERS NOT IDLE

of Communication with u. S.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: My regard for the fair-minded-
ness and generous sympathies Of The
Tribune is so high that | was appalled,
10 read your editorial this morning en-
titled 1.-THE False Prophets of Peace"
Is this the time to twit the heartsick
men and women whom you refer TO as
the absurd group of professional peace
folk? They may have been oversan-
gune, but at least they have been
working heart and soul to prevent the
thing before which the whole world
now stands aghast. They have not been
leaving il to destiny. Their leaders
are at the moment in Europe and out
of communication with the United
States. That those left here have pro-
vided no copy" is not a proof of their
idleness or disorganization. AS q mat
ter of fact, they are neither idle nor
disorganized
Finally, in the light of what has hap
pened within the last week, is this the
moment for The Tribune to lend the
weight of it's influence to the thesis
that bloated armament is likely to pro-
vide insurance" against anything ex-
cept prosperity and peace?

A SPEECH BY OUR OWN ANTI.

The sufrragists all dowdy frumps without the
smallest degree Of true womsniness. They rely en-
tirely upon the vicious sex-appesl to wheede men
into favorng their propaganda.
The vote will take women's interests out of the
home, will mean the abandonment OF maternity and
the rupture OF the family social unit. It will
be impossible TO get enough women out to vote on
any topic since the majority by far have interest
in suffrage and will remain at home.
II women voting power it will cause end
less strife between married couples holding different
views. This will mean more divorces and great I'M
happiness for the children. Even should women vote
there will be change in political conditions since
each is dominated by some and will merely du-
plicate his ballot.
The tendency OF suffragists TO abandon home and
family is shown by the activity with which they cam
pagn through their several organizations and by the
Willingness they evidence in working publicly for
what they term "the Cause" We are growing
stronger all over the country and opening new
Anti League Offices in each Of the larger cities
BY dint Of many interviews and much hard work we
have succeeded in enlisting the sympathes Of many
public men, and this Fall shall have an Anti pa
rade in Washington that will show our might to all
the world!

HOW TO GET CHEAPER Rates
IN LETTERS TO THE INSURANCE
AGENTS, INSPECTION COM
PANY GIVES SUGGESTIONS

Insurance agents OF this city are III
recent of letters from the General Ja::.
spection,. Company Of Minneapolis;
5 giving du explanation Of the increase
in insurance rates for Little Falls for
1914, and telling how they can oe:
lowered. .
According to the letter the rates IN
this city for this year are none 100
high, and the people Of this city are
held responsible for the altitude Of the
insurance cost, because Of careless
construction and disregard for the
safety of their own property. The
use and keeping of excessive quantl-
ties Of gasoline, large areas subject to
one fire, lack of standard fire. doors
and wire glass windows On openings in
fire walls and exterior exposed open
ings, are some of the principal detects
pointed out by the company.
A slam is taken at the city tor the
absence of ordinances regulating fire
hazard and restraining the individual
from endangering his neighbors. In
reference to the local building ordi-
nance the company states that there
are few towns in Minnesota the size
of Little Falls which do not have a
better one. Attention is called to the
fact that the ordinance does not even
prohibit the erection. of wooden build
ings within the fire. limit, definitely,
because the council may permit them:
This is, however,. only the start OF
what the ordinance should cover, ac-
cording to the letter. The regulation
of the thickness of walls, requiring
parapets above the roof, prohibiting
wooden shingles and requiring the
protection of exterior openings is also
necessary. The city is laboring under
a decided handicap, as far as insur-
ance cost is concerned, on account of
the lack Of such an ordinance in the
past, according to the inspection com"
panv.
Attention is called to the fact that
the keeping of gasoline has much to
do with the increase in rates. No
charge is made where gasolene is kept
in quantities of less than one gallon,
in a standard can, but a charge Of Is
per cent is made on FIVE ~allons kept
in an ordinary can in a two story
brick building, the basis rate being
So cents. Any amount over ten gal
Ions should not be permitted in the
business district unless kept in an
underground system with
pump: = !: " II %>'-s
In the letter it is stated that few
charges are made for poor wiring, al
though: there is hardly a building in
which serious defects do not exist.
The National Electric Code is sugges-
ted as a good addition to the building
code. This would be of very litt1e=use
however. unless the; city, would have
the services Of an official who underss
stands these subjects and who would
make Inspections which would bring
out infractions of the ordinances and
force their correction.
Assistance is offered by the COM
panY., in looking over plans for pro,
posed buildings, All these suggestions,
# complied with, would tend to reduce
the cost: Of fire insurance5to the mini

JURY finds fORMRS. CAMPBELL
IN DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS IN
STITUED AGAINST DIR. ROBERT
w, CAMPBELL

Mrs. Lucille Campbell gained COM
plete victory on the points submitted
to the jury in her case for divorce
against DR.. Robert W. Campbell.
Both parties were former residents Of
Swanville. The plaintiff charged the
doctor with adultesy and cruel and
inhuman treatment, and the defendant
denied the allegations and made a
counter charge, covering the same
ground. .~'S:r''e =. ~
y Thel6ury was instructed. to. answer
yes or no to the, separate charges, and
after being out over ten hours brought
in verdict Wed=-sday morning for
Mrs. Campbell on both charges, and
against DR.. Campbell on both charges
against him.
The granting of the divorce by the
judge will be based On the findings Of
the jury. The matter of the custody
of their little boy, Robert, as well as
the alimony Of the plaintiff, was
argued before Judge Parsons Wednes-
day morning, after the verdict Of the
jury was brought in, and his decision
will be given at later date.
The plaintiff named as correspond
ents in the case, Miss Tillie Wallinder,
who had been employed in the Camp
bell home when the narties to the
suit had been living together and af-
ter they parted, and Mrs. Madge
Mertz of Burtrum. Mr.. Campbell
charged plaintiff with undue familiar
ity with John Long, resident of
Todd county, while at home and dur
in" trip to Thief River Falls.
Witnesses in the case were mostly
residents of Swanville, in fact, it
seems that most Of the people Of the
village were at the trial. Much testi.
mony was adduced by both parties to
the case. A sensation Of the trial was
the testimony Of Geo. Provencher of
Minneapolis, brother of Mrs. Camp
bell, who testified against her, saying
that when she stopped with him, after
the couple had separated, he had seen
her use mornhine; also tha, she had
drilled her little son, Robert, to testi-
fy as he did, when he said he slept
with the housekeeper and his father.
This testimony was corro~ Grated by
Mrs. Geo. Provencher and little dauqh-
ter. =
The trial was largely attended, th4re
being a goodly sprinkling of women
present, throughout the five days. d:
