Rescue Homes Are Filled Not With
Girls From Slums, but From Conn
paratiyely Good Homes, Says Mrs.
Escott-Favor Equal Suffrage.

Our Girls" meaning oil girls. was
the subject of u heart appeal made to
the women who are fighting for the
vote ut a meeting held at the Virginia
Equal Suffrage League headquarters
yesterday afternoon, by the three ma
tioual officers OF the Salvation Army,
who are accompanying Commander
Eva Booth on her visit to Richmond
There were no .'ologies" or "isms" lit
the stories told by these women. They
dealt with facts-cold. hard facts
concerning those girls who drop out
of sight each year, because they have
been sent into the world unprepared
to fight its battles.
Mrs. Escott. brigadier. q motherly
woman, whose soft, gray hair framed
her kindly face inside the army bonnet
declared that she loved all girls. and
because she had girl OF her own she
felt that she must appeal to the
mothers of the land to point out the
evils that u girl must face.
1T rests with tho mothers.' she de-
taken-mothers who allow false,
modesty to come between them and

POINTS TO HAPPENINGS
RIGHT HERE IN RICHMOND
The rescue homes. she pointed out,
are filed not with girls from the
slums, but with girls from good homes.
Boys and girls should have the same
moral teachings, she believes, before
the girls will be safe when unprotected
by home Influences.
Mrs. James told of events that

Alderman Liquor Ally"
Judge Speer was asked about the
rupture with District Attorney Akar-
man of which the latter testified in
Macon. He charged Mr.. Alderman
with being allied with the liquor in

Of these, he said, were houses Of de-

should. They have not been tried nor
have they been nolle pressed.
Did you ever have any other diff
fereDces with Mr. A<erman?"
Yes, it was in some railroad af-
fairs. There were twenty cars on
the Atlantic Coast Line that were
dangerous to life and limb. The Gov

their work at the court they would

place.
Adams Calls Him Partisan.
Judge Samuel B. Adams was the
first witness called to-day in the
Speer investigation. He was at one
time a membe: of the Supreme Court
of Georgia. He said that he had
known Judge Speer since 1853, when
they were students at the University
of Georgia together Asked as to
Speer's fitness as a judge, he said he
was essentially a partisan, moody
uncertain, variable and could not help
taking sides in a case or exercising
partial prerogative, particularly in
the supervision of the drawing of the
jury.
Judge Adams said he could not
speak with personal knowledge, ex-
Cept in the Greene and Gaynor case
He had heard in this case the jury
had been drawn from four or five
counties He also stated that in an
other case he heard the judge direct
that certain men be drawn from GER
tain counties.
Judge Adams was associated in the
prosecution in the Greene and Gay
nor case.
Lawyers Responsible.
Judge Adams said the lawyers
practieing at Judge Speers court were
responsible for the condition that OBJ
tanned. because in a great many in
stances they had permitted the judge
to believe they approved of his
course The fact, he said, that the
attorneys had never protested had
possibly led the judge to think there
was no objection. In an alleged re-
bate case against the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Company the
Atlantic Coast Line and Miller Broth
ers, of Philadelphia, the judge. he
said, tried to get him to plead guilty
for his clients and receive a light
fine, and that when he did not plead
guilty ard the case was tried by
Judge Speer without a jury, his
clients mad been fined 100000.
Mr. Volstead here stated to the
witness that if judge is culpable in
telling an attorney that unless he
pleaded guilty for his client the court
would be severe, a number of judges
in his circuit in Minnesota could be
impeached

questions, no investigation is made as
TO its necessity, the convict is given
no hearing This is the practice, IN
violation of the explicit rule of the
State Prison Commission that the lash
should be used only as a last resort.
The lash is the only method of dis
cipline resorted to. although the law
provides other means of discipline, to-
wit: graues, merit marks and good

so little consideration Is given the
convict that there can never be any

his clothes. Did booze affect them?
Lincoln, after years of observation,
at the close of the greatest war ever
fought. in the fullness of wisdom and
experience, and at the verge of the
grave, made this great prophecy:
''Now that slavery is settled, the
greatest evil which confronts US is the
liquor question, and the next great
fight will be to blot it out and free not
only the black race but the white race
also"
Few saw it at the time, but the
people have been studying the question
and slowly, but surely. coming to the
conclusion that the saloon must go.
You may say slavery did not affect
that farmer away up in Maine, who
probably never saw colored man. Why
should he leave his family, shoulder his
gun and endure the hardships of
terrible war to settle question which
did not affect him-a local question as
some thought? No, Slavery affected
humanity, and any thing which affects
humanity is world question.
Booze affects humanity, and the
people are slowly but surley beginning
to realize that it is world question.
The sentiment is growing not only in
this state and the United States, but
all over the world
The reason it was not blotted out be-
fore is because the people did not realize
what terrible havoc it has wrought,
Like slavery, people looked upon it as
local issue.
Why do the churches send money and
missionaries to convert the heather?
Your answer. Religion. Right, go
up head. Now here is one which will
hold you some.
Why do lot OF church members (you
notice do not say chrlstians) vote for
booze, for wet candidates, for license?
At what temperature do you think the
thermometer will stand in the place
when they will arrive and be about a
hundred years from now?
Foolish questions, are they not? Yet
honestly foolish as they are, don't they
make you stop and think?
If we can get you to thinking, we
have added one recruit to the.dry cause.
Come out, and help fight to make
Garrett county dry. You need not tear

DEAR SIR: A bunch of US fellows
have been reading your articles and
talking them over. We notice you have

pulled out his revolver and began shoot

little boy were eating dinner. One of
the bullets struck the little boy IN the
forehead, and his head dropped forward
upon the table. He was dead. The
farmer, his wife and little boy did not
drink. They lived quite distance from
the Saloons. Did booze effect them?
A few months ago there was terrible
wreck on the Lackawana railroad and

eighty-one were injured. They did not

Temperance Notes.

By majority of 30l in a total of
2,26l votes, the people of Visalia,
California, have adopted the Wylie law
and for. the fifth time in four years
recorded themselves against the grant
ing of saloon licenses.
The biggest seizures of liquor ever
made in the state of Iowa, took place
at Ottumwa, when Chief Gallagher
seized 210 cases containing $40 gallons
of whisky, consigned from Peoria to
several Ottumwans. The liquor was
taken on search warrant sworn by the
Law and Order League counsel. under
the Webb Kenyon law. Two moving
vans were needed to haul the shipment
to the court couse, where it was stored.

This seizure could not have been made
before the Webb interstate law went
into effect.
There is only one position for the
church TO assume in regard to the saloon
and the use OF alcoholic beverages.
1t is an unmitigated evil to the IN
dividual. society and the state. The
church through its congregations should
advocate total abstinence as the surest
safeguard against the evils of in
temperance and the elimination of the
saloon as one of the great steps in the
preservation of national integrity.
