Prohibition League of America
This league inaugurated cam
paign against the sale Of liquor at the
State Fair and saw their efforts crown
ed with success last September. They
also ran a booth at the fair for the
spread of literature.
In 1911 they opened headquarters
on South Third Street, whore weekly
service OF prayer for temperance has
been held.
AT it's headquarters there is a
Golden Chain made up OF over 500
links, representing as many boys and
girls who have taken the pledge.
There are 10 leagues in the State,
with a mem hership of over 1000.
Up to this date nearly 100000
pages of literature have been dis.
tributed During September a pack
age OF literature was placed in the
hands Of every qualified voter In this
city.
1T is. therefore. easy to see what a
large contribution this league made In
the Statewide fight. A new prohihi-
ton catechism will soon come from
the press"
Women and the World.
Mr.. Wicker selected as his text the
words of Jesus. found in Mark lag.
Let her alone she hati.
wrought a good work on me-" His
theme was Women and the World"
Woman can rise higher and sink
lower than anything else in the world.
he said. she Is the best and the
worst we know, Her influence Is the
most powerful for good or for evil
She was first in sin and the first in
salvation Mother has been the mir
arl,a Of the ages
Sam Jones once said, I love fast
horse, L do, | do. but. Good Lord, give
me a slow woman.
DR. Wicker strongly advocated equal
suffrage.
.lt Is never recorded that woman
hindered the work of Jesus he SAID.
She fingered at the cross when all
forsook Him and fed, Intuition told
her Jesus was her friend Satan Is
against woman. A lot of good people
oppose the rise of woman in the at
fairs Of the world--they are good. but
they don't know any better
wherever woman has had an OPP
portunity 10 prove It she has demon
strated her equality with man. In
man has shown herself superior to
man. She leads in every good work
where she Is allowed voice.
Prohibition Will Prohibit.
Man is willing for his ideals to de-
scend to his infirmity. Woman has a
sublime optimism and her intuition
leads her along the paths of altruism
with the spirit Of \ can
Prohibition 10 going to prohibit In
Virginia with the help OF the wo-
men" the preacher declared.
THE 'cranks' and the women have
had a long. hard battle. but the joy
Gus notes Of victory are being heard
on every hand. The opposition first
said. It's an old prohibition crank
Then they said: You can't do It, Then
they said: Prohibition won't pro-
hibit' But the next Legislature will
see about this and In the meantime
the good women will keep the moral
issues on the hearts Of the people and
continue to lift the standards Of right

last night.
odd, hard hearted masculine ideals
will declare a truce in behalf of sin,
he continued, but no good woman will
add her approval of such a stand in
the degradation OF her sisters. Preach

women may be counted as Impractical
in dealing with public vice. but one
thing is certain-the Man of Galilee Is
on the side OF right and he Will never

TALK SEGREGATION
At BOARD MEETING
POLICE BOARD, TT IS HINTED
MAY DECIDE TO CLOSE
DISTRICT.

Public interest in Richmond II cen
tered in the probable action the Board
Of Police Commissioners will take in
regards to the segregated district at
the next meeting OF the board on
Wednesday.
police circles that the board will GER
tainly discuss this question at its next
meeting, even IL 1t decides to take no
decisive action until later.
Probably no question Of civic better
ment or Improvement has been SO
widely discussed or advocated during
the last year in Richmond an has been
the proposition to abolish the segre-
gated district. Although II Ia a widely
hoard is opposed to the district being
abolished. several prominent police Of
ficials have acknowledged that the
people will soon demand that 1t be
closed and 1t will have to come sooner
or later.
Just at this time. the argument has
been advanced. that to close the seq
regated district would mean that the
houses would be scattered over the
city. This argument has been ad-
vanced by those who were opposed to
the movement, but they. too--at least
the most Of them do-Acknowledge
the fact that there are already many
houses scattered over the city In
violation Of the police segregation reg
ulation.
Strong pressure has been brought to
bear upon the authorities to induce
them to enforce tho law. but they
have been inclined to await the report
Of the Vice Commission before taking
any action In the matter. That COM
mission II now awaiting for the coun-
ell to appropriate to their use suf-
ac.ent funds Ter the conduct Of close
into conditions In the dis
trict and to q study Of the best means
Of solving the problem.
However, II Is strongly limited that
the police commissioners. when they
meet Wednesday, will take action a.
once. Certainly. according to au-
thority, the matter will come up for
discussion
