CITY DETECTIVE
SHOOTS AT SOCIETY WOMEN
Here She Is! The First Woman
Candidate for Vice President
BY HONOR TANNING.


States!
That is the latest writ
ing on the national political
slate and IL was Mrs. Kath-
eryn Rutherford, acting un-
der orders from big Boss"
Cupid. who wrote II there
when she announced herself
as candidate for the vice
presidency. She is the first
woman to run for that Of
flee.
Mrs. Rutherford, long known
In Chicago as the girls best
friend" is running for the vice
presidency on the republican tick
ct, but she needn't worry about
the republican vote
Because she already has rose
colored, sachet-scented cinch on
the "spooners' vote" the vote of
the girl with beau, and the vote
of the nice young man with a
girl.
The first of several good,
strong planks In Mrs. Ruther-
ford's vice presidential platform is
the 'spooners' plank" What
breed of politics is "spooners'
plank" Well, let the candidate
tell you herself what it means.
"The young girls Of this coun-
try need friend at the White
House." says Mrs. Rutherford,
"and because l want to be that
friend I'm running for vice presi-
dent with a good chance of get
ting to Washington.
snow I've discovered that
there's something the matter
with the American home.
It's this-the girls aren't
getting married. Why aren't
they getting married? Well,
they have no beaux, and they
have no beauX because many
of them have no place other
than hall bedroom, or n
street corner In which to en-
terrain their men friends.
Now should | be elected vice
president I'll use my political and
my personal influence to have
community hotels started in every
state capital in the country and d
national community house In
Washington.
"They will be established by
the city or state, but afterward
they must be self-supporting.
These hotels will be exclusively
for women who have no homes of
their own. Well have parlors
and "cozy corners ON every floor
and there will be every oppor-
tunity for romance.
"My platform may not be
politically very strOng-I'm
not worrying about that. I'm
a humanitarian, not a politi-
clan, and l think We need a
little more humanity and a
little less politics at WASH
ingotn.
That's why I'm willing to give
my time, and my money to this
campaign. l want to help the
country, not by working for tar
iff laws or suffrage laws, but by
giving the little Love God a
chance to build American homes
on foundations of honest love-.
Mrs. Rutherford, who is wide
ly known throughout the country
as a suffrage orator, is still in
her early forties. She is the Wild
ow of the late DR.. John Ruther-
ford of Chicago.
She has been actively interest
ed in republican politics for sew
eral years and she now holds a
municipal appointment under
Chicago's republican administra-
ton. Her official title is house
keeper for the municipal tubercu-
losis sanitorium. ..

END WAR? NO,
NOT ENGLAND

LONDON, Aug. 81. - Despite
the latest alleged German peace
feelers" the United Press is able
to state on highest authority to-
day that the peace situation as far
as England is concerned has un-
dergone no recent change. A few
socialist leaders favor ending the
war, but neither in official circles
nor in the mass of the public is
there an inclination to accept
peace now, honorable or other
wise.
England is determined that the
strength of the new British army
shall be felt, and that the Ger
mans must be driven from France
and Belgium.

The coal industry has been respon-

extent the mine foreman has been re.

complaints of men Of every tongue

on the East Side for several years and
r Bob at the Central station. The spur.
chase OF the new fire truck has made
It unnecessary to keep both teams at

""Tom" was sent to a farm on the Val.

as he lives and Bob" was sent to the
city reservoir farm. r.
Yesterday Bob began kicking about
In the stable and he was placed in a
pasture which had began to show
signs OF greenness. He picked about
for an hour or so, then suddenly
threw up his head and shifted the air.
Despite the rain he decided to start
for his old home. He leaped the pas.
ture fence, ran to the next fence, leap:
ed It and was In the road. He set out
a mad gallop for town. He made for
the East Side station where he was
stopped and later was brought on to
the Central station arriving about s
O'clock last evening. The old horse
was greatly pleased to get back to the
station and went Immediately into his
old stall there. -
For years past Bob has suffered Sc.
we're attacks Of indigestion when It
would be necessary to keep a veterin.
airy with him all night long to save his
life. Some say the old horse felt an
attack coming on and rushed to the
station where he would be cared for.
Probably the real reason for his re.
turn was inconsistencies for the station
where he had spent the past sixteen
years. What disposition will now be
made Of the old horse is not known.

RECRUITING SLUMP
D.|IsIuRBS CANADA.
Rural District and Smaller
Cities Far Below N eed-
ed Quota. Y

OTTAWA. Feb s.-The last couple
OF weeks have witnessed a disturbing
slump in recruiting throughout the
Dominion, especially in the rural dis.
tricts, and the fact is giving the mill.
taryS authorities NO little concern.
Less than two weeks ago It was pre-.
,dicted that enough volunteers for the
third contingent would be enlisted
within ten days, and the recruiting in
the larger centres was sufficiently
brisk to warrant the belief. Toronto
and some OF the western districts
furnished the required number of men
for their divisions. but the returns
from the rural districts and small
towns In Ontario are decidedly dis:
couraging. w, =. ~
In cities like London, Windsor, 4
Chatham, st. Thomas, Strathroy,
Clinton. Woodstock. sarnia, stratford,
Walkerton and Berlin not more than
IS per cent. Of the needed quota OF
volunteers for the third contingent
have thus far come forward, in spite
of an advertising campaign carried
on BY the newspapers. This falling
of in recruiting is caustically. com.
!mented upon In the press, and the
Toronto .Golbe declares that 1T Is
time for Canadians to- wake up"
Pointing out that Notwithstanding all
their talk not more than 500 Cana
dians have yet been under fire the
Globe says: %

rural Ontario the recruiting for the
third contingent has been q failure.

ways Behind With Stores
Now Have Bank Account

CHARLESTON, W.. Va, Feb, e.
State Tax Commissioner Fred o. Blue,
In recent interview, was enthusIas.
tic regarding the moral and beneficial
effects Of prohibition In the mining
towns of West Virginia, as we'll as in
other towns and cities of the state.
Reports from many mining towns"
said Mr.. Blue, ARE to the effect that
some miners who were always behind
at the! company stores, when the bar.
rooms drew large part OF their
wages, now have balances due them
each month, and are starting savings
accounts. Furthermore, their wives
and children are comfortably clothed,
which was too often not the case
when they were spending their earn.
ings for drink. Then again, they are
better workmen, better citizens, bet.
ter husbands and fathers, and ready
for work on Monday mornings fol.
lowing pay. days. ~
They. like their brethren who did
not frequent the saloons, now spend
their evenings at home with their
families. in different atmosphere
than when the bar.room claimed their
spare time and money. Altogether
labor conditions have been greatly
improved In the mining towns, and
made more attractive for the better
class of labor. who want to raise
their children to the best advantage.
There has been no faliing.off In the
number Of laborers by reason Of
prohibition-only recently a number
Of coal miners came to West Virginia
from Illinois, for the reason that the
state was dry and offered better op.
portunities. g.. SIT
"The decrease In lawlessness In
towns and cities has also been notice.
able, as the court records show. and

lines, where 1t was moi. at one time
considered safe for q woman to travel
alone. she can now travel without
fear, for conditions are different.
Men who once travelled to the cen.
tiers for the purpose OF carousing and
drinking, now bring their wives and
children with them
TT is q well.known fac" said Mr..
Blue, that the most efficient class Of
labor In any industry is the sober
class, They are the saving ones, as
well as the home builders, and while
there are thousands OF that kind en-
ployed in the state, the improved con.
ditions from the effects Of .prohibi.
