LIQUOR INTERESTS DRIVEN
INTO OPEN BY GOVERNOR
Saloonmen Take to Circulating Peti-
tions in Local Option Fight.

The liquor forces, i'm their fight to pre-
vent the passage of "A local option bill,
have been driven into the open by the
vigorous campaign waged by Governor
Brumbaugh, and have adopted the tactics
of the men who are conducting the cam
paign for local option.
In nearly every wholesale and retail
liquor establishment anti-local option pc
titions are being circulated today. Saloon
keepers and wholesale liquor dealers are
urging their patrons to sign them. They
will be sent to the Philadelphia legis-
lators.
'As voters in your district we are op-
posed to the pending local option bill and
the prohibition of the winc spirit and
beer industry by statute" reads the petit
tons of the liquor men.
I'VE voted for you because, as can
didate, you ran on the platform opposed
to local option. Together with hundreds
of your constituents, we assisted, by our
ballots. 20 elect you, feeling absolutely
sure that you would have the manly
courage to represent the views of the
voters who elected you. We are still of
that strong confidence in you In the belief
that you will oppose any prohibition or
local option bill, because you know that
the local option fight in your district was
square and open during your campaign.
Because of the further fact that the
voters of the State defeated local option
by a very large majority of the members
of your body against 1t.
"It is true that any attempt to persuade
or coerce you into voting against the
Views of the people who elected YOU is as
much a dishonor and as greatly immoral
in the Governor as II is honorable and
moral for him to stand by his pre-
election, personal political pledges. We
therefore, petition you to oppose the local
option bill No 2S3, and use your infu-
ence to defeat it,"
The committee of POS professional and
business men who are interviewing the
II members of the House from Phiadel-
phia are expected to make known the
result of their canvass on Monday.

to minors and women, while in some in
stances 1t is charged that applicants are
men unfit to conduct a hotel

WOOL MEN NOT ALARMED
England's "Contraband" Order Gives
Them No Anxiety.

Many Philadelphia merchants said to-
day that England's latest action in maxi
ing wool contraband will have very little
effect upon business, as there is not much
wool exported from here. In view of
this condition there is no uneasiness
among the dealers.
Thomas II. Ball of 10 South Sd street,
said: 1--WE export very little wool We
get almost all our wool from British
Columbia and South America, England
had already declared an embargo on
wool, and we are holding on to all we
have. Regarding foreign contracts for
goods, these contracts are gradually run
ming out for this season England Is
now better prepared to supply her
needs"

United states," says DR.. Lee X.
Frankel, vice president Of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company. "It
has been the common desire in this
country that industrial conditions
may be 50 arranged that the father
can earn enough to support the
family so that the mother can stay
home. But we know that this con-
dition does not exist"
Is it not fact, however, that the
baby problem does not center en-
tirely on the wage? There are races
and classes that carefully guard and
nourish their infants, however low
the wage. There are some that do
not, though the wage scale is much
higher. No one will honestly cues
tion that, babies or no babies, there
ought to be living wage in this
above all countries. But here even
more than in other countries we
have yet to solve the problem Of the
proper use and handling Of the wage,
high or low.

the Notwithstanding business have
been pointed by a good many other
disasters to plants; SOME of them
doubtless the result of plots and
Vaccinations, some entirely acci-
dental; most of them Of character
that might have been avoided IL
there had been perfect organization,
planning, readiness for the emerg-
ency. This war took the whole
world by surprise; another war
ought not to take industrial America
by surprise and find it unready to
handle itself.
The people who buy munitions of
war will ultimately have to pay
these extraordinary bills for disas-
ters. The risks Of the business must
be covered in the prices raid for the
products. The waste Of hasty prep
aration is a fearfully large part of
the cost of such an enterprise as
the war. The United States must
profit by the, lesson of the European
struggle. We have seen, right on
our own soil, enough of what it
means to revolutionize nations
industry on days notice, to realize
the need that we shall be better pre-
pared for such an emergency than
we have ever been in the past.

THE SUFFRAGE ADVANCE

Woman suffragists cannot COM
plain that they failed to get a
"hearing" in Washington this week.
Only few years ago "hearing''
was all they dared ask. They felt
grateful if individual Congressman
received them. To gain a few min
utes before a committee of the SEN
ate or the House was counted a rare
victory.
Times have changed. This week
the suffragists arrived, and were
"heard" as they entered the city by
delegation of Senators and Rep
resentatives on the Capitol steps
Then they went to the White House
where they were listened to attcn.
lively by President Wilson.
They set about getting "hearings'
before the Suffrage Committee ot
the Senate and before the Judiciary
Committee of the House, and botf
these committees granted their de
sire for a hearing" Now they arr
working for hearing" before tn,
assembled House of Representatives
That must about exhaust the fielc
for Hearings" But though the fire
quency of the hearings may b.
amusing, the significant thing abou
them, is the indication of a market
change of heart among those who
not so long ago, would not evel
listen to suffragists.
