Beer and Prohibition

Georgia seems to have handled pro- hibition better than any other so called dry state" said W. w. Sheldon of Phila. delphia.
 Some years ago the Georgia legislature passed a statewide prohibition bill, but almost immediately afterward the same legislature adopted a bill allowing beer, under the name of near-beer, to be solG at retail under license. I am not much of a beer thinker. but seldom touch anything stronger.
 "The anti-prohibition people of Georgia are evidently satisfied with the situation They compromised on beer and no one ever hears of any movement to have the statutory prohibition laws repealed.
 Tt is the drastic legislation that causes a reaction.

Billy sunday and Plagiarism


 q have been thinking that there was much good in Billy Sundays evangelistic work, although I have been shocked now and then by some of his irreverence. but I can see no possible defense for his al- legged plagiarism" said a prominent lay man. Several men who have risen to in public esteem by having the deadly parallel drawn against them, and it will be that way with Dr. Sunday. w. l.. Trenk of New York in a letter to the Sun puts it thus: When Billy Sunday in at- tempting to explain his now famous plagiarism of Bob Ingersolls Decoration Day oration had recourse to vituperation. calling his accuFers pack of yellow curs etc., he failed to realize that ''argu- ments cannot be answered with insults,r and that 'anger blows out the lamp of the mind"
 MT E. Kent does better in his de- fense of the Rev" William Sunday, but he fails to note that while 1t Is legitimate for authors and orators to borrow from the thoughts of others and reproduce these thoughts in their own words, 1t is not legitimate for them to appropriate the exact words. else of what value Is a copy right. and this is just exactly what Sum day did in this instance.
 "'This is not the first time that Sunday
 has been up against the deadly parallel.' His borrowing from the late Sam Janes
 has previously been exposed, as has his
 tribute to Abraham Lincoln, which was taken bodily from an article written by Editor Brown of Chautauqua lame. Tt Is admittedly dishonest to appro- priate the fruit of the labor of another man's hands. Is it any more honest tJ flch the product of his brainT"

MRS P"ENNYPACKER
ADDRESSES WOMEN

"
Mrs. Percy B. Pennybacker, presi'
dent Of the National Federation OF
Women's clubs, delivered an enter.
tanning address on the progress and
benefits Of women's clubs at the Cen.
fury club hall in Reno Tuesday night.
says the Journal. The meeting was
we'll attended and delegates from the
Federal clubs in all parts OF the state
were present.
Mrs. Pennybacker outlined the his
tory of the women's club movement
in this country through the last hun
dred years and spoke Of the causes
and conditions that forced the clubs
into being. The women OF former
generation were deprived Of a higher
education, and when she became the
mother of a family found herstlf far
behind her growing SOM in knowledge
and intellectual ~attainments," said
Mrs. Pennybacker. Reading clubs
and literary societies were formed,
but they were poorly organized, had
no definite aims and for many years
accomplished nothing.
After the civil val a powerful i'm
petus was given to the women's move
ment by the cooperation of the var
ious clubs and the adoption Of definite
lines of action. Seventy-nine clubs
met in New York and the federation
OF women's clubs came into being and
has grown rapidly until now 1t COM
prises 5000 clubs and counts 1000, 900
members.
The purpose for which the reading
club was formed has been accomp-
lished; woman has been b~roadened
and enlightened and is now recognized
as the intellectual equal of man. She
is admitted into nearly all colleges and
ali professions; has learned to be in
dependent and yet to act in unison
with Others"
Mrs. Pennybacker spoke of the
work that is still to be accomplished
by the Federal clubs, and devoted
much attention to the problem of the
rural school, and the country woman
'1he rural teachers living conditions
must be improved and she in her turn
must contribute to the improvement
of the social life of the women around
her." stated Mrs. P~ennybacker.
Mrs. Pennybacker concluded by
complimenting the people of Reno on
their schools and invited those who
could be present at the convention
OF Women's clubs to be held in Port
land, where she will address the club
women Of Oregon.
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. P. B. Ellis Of Carson City and
was followed by light refreshments.
