SENATOR ALLEN
SPOKE IN DENIS0N
One Of the Candidates for Governor
Delivers Address at Presbyterian
Church Saturday Evening.
FAvoRs ENFORCEMENT OF LAW
In Favor Of Woman Suffrage and Dis.
closes Thorough knowledge Of
This Movement

Hon. Joseph Allen, of Pocahontas
comfy, one of the candidates for gov
ernor. delivered an address, at
the Presbyterian church on last
Saturday evening to fair sized audi
ence, his subject being in the main,
woman suffrage, but devoting a good
deal Of time to law enforcement and
especially against the liquor traffic. He
emphasized the Importance of the de-
velopment of a sentiment in favor of
the enforcement Of the law against the
sale of intoxicating liquors after Janu-
airy LIST. and predicted that if anything
short of determined effort to enforce
the law should prevail, that the boot
leggers and other parties who would
handle it could not be suppressed. He
emphasized the Importance OF the en-
forcement OF all the laws of the coun-
try and thought that all good citizens
should be interested in seeing that the
laws are enforced.
He took most decided grounds iii
favor Of woman suffrage and disclosed
a thorough knowledge OF his subject.
He said the fact that some women
We're not in favor Of the movement was
no argument against it no more than
that because some men are Indifferent
about exercising the right Of suffrage
the fact should not be offered as an ar
gument that male suffrage is not desir-
able or beneficial to the public. He eX-
allied women to the highest point + con-
sideration in the affairs Of life and said
that it was but just that they should
have the exercise of this most import
ant duty and prediced that when suff-
rage should become universal that con-
ditions would be greatly improved.
Mr.. Allen is not what may be said
to be an orator. but he expresses him
self with east and makes favorable
impression upon those who listen to
HIM He was entertshed while in
Denison by the Woolston family, Mr..
Allen and. Mr.. Woolston b ayiag- been;
classmates at the State university,
from which institution they both grad
uated few years ago.

rent for the light festoons could be
at small expense and doubtless the

COUNCIL HOLDS MEETING

The city council held business
session at the city hall on Monday
evening of this week, at which time
the matter of employing consulting
engineer to assist City Engineer Frank
Woolston with the paving work was
discussed. Several engineers were
present, but the matter OF selecting
che was deferred until next Monday
night, when the council will receive
bids for this work. Considerable work
will be necessary before the plans
and specifications for the pavement
can be drawn UP and it is the purpose
OF the council to engage an engineer
who is familiar with this work.
The city engineer reported to the
council that he had decided not to al
low property owners to finish con-
meeting up with the water mains until
spring The snow of last week has
hampered this work considerably and
it has been dragging along now for
several weeks with the streets in fear
full condition for traffic. Work which
is now under way will be completed
as soon as possible.
The council settled the claim made
against the city by E. Gulick for dam
ages sustained to his building last
summer when water running down
the alley flooded the basement. Mr..
Gulick entered claim for $4,000, but
accepted $4,000 in settlement.

BIBLE READING URGED.

Those who still cling to the de-
fusion that Catholics are not al
lowed to read the Bible may be
interested in learning that one of
the first utterances of Pope Bene-
dict XIV on his accession to the
Papal Throne was an exhortation
to Catholics to read the Bible. 1t
is contained in a letter which he
wrote to Cardinal Cassetta, Pro-
tector of the Society of st. jerome
for the Spread Of the Gospel:
1--WE DESIRE . writes the Holy
Father, s'that the book of.the holy
Gospels be found in every fam
lily and that all Christians should
cultivate the habit of reading a
passage each day so as to live IN
a worthy manner and make them
selves agreeable to God In all
things, for it is too true that all
evils and errors arise from ignor-
ance of the Gospel and failure to
practice it. But, notwithstand-
ing this definite pronouncement,
which is only reiteration of
what many other pontifs have
said, there will always be those
who are ignorant or malicious
enough to charge the Church with
being an enemy of the Bible.
