WOMAN'S INFLUENCE
 TO PURIFY POLITICS
Miss Ida A. Jordan Says Men Want It-F'ear That Suffrage Would Be
 Degrading AbanConed

San Francisco, July 24.-Reportine
 or "Womans Influence and Possibili. ties in Civic Betterment," Miss Ida A. Jordan, superintendent of the Dea- cones Home in Chicago, told the mem- hers of the International Purity con- gress here today that in Illinois it was pathetic to note how eagerly the men are expecting the women to grap- pie with certain problems of civic betterment-their manner being a readily understood confession of their own failures along many of these lines"
 She said in part:
 +'I do not believe that many of the men of our country who have cast their votes in favor of woman suf- frage have done so with the idea of ar indulgent parent, giving a child what he asks for just because he wants it, On the contrary they have confessed that they want woman's in- fluence in the purifying of politics, in the demandings of a higher stand ard of morals in our public officials and a greater consideration of the cna ctment of such laws as directly af- feet the welfare of mankind. The government is constantly enlarging its functions in the commofl interests and more and more giving attention to such matters as pure milk, pure water, clean streets, safe and wholesome re creation, living wages, widows pen- sion, child labor and prohibition-all of which concern the home and in every one which woman has a prim- cry intedest.
 '"The fear that the suffrage granted to women would prove degrading and coarsening to them is not. being voiced as it once was. As one speaker sail not long since, in answer to tho criti- cism that politics were being dragged into religion, then let us turn things about and take religion into politics. This, I truly believe, is what the women of our country are in a large way attempting to do A few months ago the Woman's City Ciup of Chicago put out leaflet with this title Heart Something's for the Women Voters of Chicago" Miss Jordan told of the religious tone of this lit- erature. and of it's fervent appeal to women to vote as their conscience di- rected, rather than as the party dic- tated In conclusion she said:
 While the earth rocks with the aw- fuI impact of warning nations and the longing for universal peace is ever present in Christian hearts, while the waves of temperance enthusiasm are daily growing higher and we are daring to hope for worldwide sobrie- ,y in this generation. every right minded woman may we'll feel herself an Esther, called for sucn time as this, pray We. may not disappoint our Lord, our brothers or ourselves"

1 The attendance record of previous , years was completely shattered and it is expected that handsome sum will be realized. The most popular man in Ken ton this morning was F. s. McMahon, the theater magnate from New Britain. It was partly through Mr. McMahon's generosity that the affair
 proved to be the success that it was.
 MT. McMahon furnished all the vaude-
 vile sketches that are performing at
 his theater in New Britain this week, at the festival. The imitator of Charlie Chaplin, who is doing an act at the theater, created considerable mirth for the spectators. He pranced

 antics were indeed very funny.

 O. E. Goodrich has also experienced considerable difficulty in securing tufficient help. For number of days he has had to be contented with but five assistants. In the past few days he has been able to secure few more and now he has force of about a. dozen working around the bridge He has seen number of likely men, whom he engaged to work for him, but when thes morning came for them to commence, they were con- spicuous by their absence. 1t is said that when Goodrich bid for the job he was unaware of the real condi- tions as they existed around the bridge.
