traffic they are trifing with the future
of the race. Every sociologist, every
criminologist and every scientific la
boratory in all the land worthy of re
pute or credence, tells them that, and
they propose to continue to license
and protect this traffic, and by that
they propose to continue to trifie with
the future of the race.
Both these men conceal their thoughts
in evasion, and are content to tickle
the ears Of their hearers with toothless
platitudes and harmless generalities.
We offer program definite and GER
tain. We are prepared to really eman-
cipate the childhood of the nation and

You have not removed the one great
gress and development, nor so much
as touched the letters that bind them.
/ know, and you know, and every
thoughtful man and woman in the ma
ton knows, that there can be no real
emancipation of the children of the
country while the beverage liquor traf-
fic holds the warrant of the nation for
their application. Every child--the
sightless, the deaf, the deformed, the
mentally and physically disinherited,
reaching in numbers far into the thous-
ands, is refutation Of your claim.
The God truth is, Mr.. President,
that with full knowledge of this fact,
so indisputable as to be admitted by
all men everywhere, neither you nor
your party even remotely contemplate
the doing of the one thing which alone
can emancipate them, Compared with
this the little thing you have done is
infnitisimal. In years of your incum-
bency of the great Office you have lift
ed no finger and spoken no word in
support of action of the federal con
gress, the only body that possesses the
power of emancipation.
You have gone to the halls of con-
gress for many things, but you have
been careful enough not to ask or sug-
gest any step looking toward the eman-
cipation of the children of the country
from their fateful heritage. You have
been and are, and your party has been
and is, content that the curse of alcohol
shall abide with them and upon them
In his speech at Los Angeles, Charles
Evans Hughes, Republican candidate
for the presidency, made this declara
ton:
Il shall protect human life, human
safety, human comfort should pro-
tect women. L should protect children
If we take long look ahead we can
not afford to trife with the future of
the race
But neither Mr.. Hughes nor the Re
publican party offers any program Of
protection to human life, human safety
human comfort or for the protection of
women or children. Both he and his
party stand for the continuation and
perpetuation in this nation, under gov
eminent sanction, of the one thing that
more than all else, impairs the happi-
ness and welfare of women and de-
spoils the childhood of the nation BY

.SPENDSHISD DAYS WITHLEPER
Gives Comfort to Victims of Loath-
some Disease - Has Been on the
Island Thirty Years Away
from the seClean.''

The strange life of the isolated lepers
supported by the United States in the
colony on the Island of .Molokia,
Hawaii, is brought close to Kenosha
through the intimate acquaintance
which Mrs. Otis L. Trenary has gained
with conditions there through her cor
respondence with the venerable Joseph
Dutton, member of the order of
monks that conducts one of the boys
homes in the colony.
Mrs. Trenary's acquaintance with
this self sacrificing man now Is years
old, once a soldier in the United States
Army and always devotedly patriotic,
came about in a strange way.
introduced Thro' Cluo Work.
Mrs. Trenary was asked seven years
ago to write a paper on the Molokai
leper colony by the Woman IS Club.
She had not the facts at hand upon
which to base such treatise, so she
went about getting them. She procured
the information that a former James
vile man, James Dutton, had for TWEEN
ty-three years been an inmate of the
island and had been giving up his life
unselfshly to the unfortunates who are
consigned there. Through all this per-
iod of strenuous service Mr.. Dutton has
not contracted the mysterious disease
which scientists are as yet unable to
thoroughly understand. It is not yet
known how it is communicated, merely
that it is. 1t is said that every worker
feels that his time is certain to come
when he will be pronounced "unclean -
but they work cheerfully on regardless
of the awful fate before them.
Mrs. Trenary received an interesting
letter from Brother Dutton whom she
has never seen, day or so ago, in pur-
suance of pleasant and interesting
correspondence which has been kept up
with breaks Of long intervals, since he
first answered her request for informa-
ton by sending her dozens of pictures
and much information as a base for
the paper which she read before the
club and which is said to have been one
of the most interesting ever given be-
fore that organization.
Tells About Dread Disease.
In regard to leprosy, and life on the
beautiful Island of Molokai, Mr.. Dut.
ton wrote:
"There is cheerfulness, patient en-
durance, a surrender to Gods will
among the lepers here. They live in
good houses, get fair attention and am
pie supplies, yet the wish of officials
to show complete happiness here can
never be fully reached. With such a
disease there is bound to be misery
The worst cases are not seen by the
few visitors, or very seldom at least.
"Much has been done to make things

Kenosha people-probably five humid
red Of them-heard the message Of the
national Prohibition party this morn
ING when the "million dollar special
bearing the Hon. j. Frank Hanly,
candidate for president, the Hon. Ira
Landrith candidate for vice president,
and the members Of their families and
many prominent leaders in the dry
cause, stopped for half an hour in Ke-
nosha. There was no need of a great
column Of police officers to prevent the
crowd getting aboard the special train
but this act did not prevent the ma
tional "dry" speakers giving the Re
nosha people the best they had. There
were cheers for both of the candidates
and many times during their addresses
they were interrupted by applause.
Oliver w. Stewart of Chicago, widely
known to Kenosha temperance work
ers, was master of ceremonies at the
meeting, At Kenosha the party was
joined by George McKerrow, the Pro
hibition candidate for governor and
Charles Il. Hill, the candidate of the
party for United States senator.
Vice Presidential Candidate Land
rith was the first speaker, and he
spoke at some length on the suffrage
question, poking fun at the two old
parties for the way the conventions
had been stampeded by the women to
adopt suffrage as an issue. He declar-
ed that both of the old parties were
silent on the one great issue of the poll
tical campaign. He closed with the in
PRODUCTION of Mr. Hanly, who said
in part:
'HTo pursue this morning a cam
paign, not for place or position, but
for the establishment in power of
great cause affecting profoundly the
social, moral and economic life of the
nation.
In his speech of acceptance, Presi-
dent Wilson showed a, concern for the
women and children of Mexico, and
took credit to himself and his party
for the interest they had taken in the
children of our land, saying in the
course of his remarks:
I'VE have effected the emancipation
of the children of the country by re-
leasing them from hurtful labor
My answer to that is: Not yet, Mr..
President, not yet. You may have
done something toward the emancipa-
ton OF the children of the country by
taking them out of hurtful labor, but
you have not yet emancipated them.

comfortable, everything being far more
complete and orderly than at an earlier
period. This is evidenced by the fac5
that the franciscan sisters when first
sent out here staid in Honolulu at the
branch hospital for six years because
the place here was too rough to admit
of their coming. They began their
work here at the close of six years,

Its Mystery Battles.
"Leprosy is a strange disease. Ie
cuts up many capers in different places.
The method of conveyance is the great
moot point. Generations are jumped,
sometimes. Many families have Just
one leper or maybe two. In other
eases, even in large families, a good
share sometimes all-may be lepers.

Writes of Worldly Things.
Mr.. Dutton s letters are newsv.
chatty epistles, touching upon MANY
matters of the world away from the
secluded island where he is giving I'D
his life in his service to others.
OF the recent preparedness agitation,
he says: "War cannot always be
avoided. So long as it is possible, with
honor, it should be, L think. Condi-
lions of great import to our country
and to the world in general, are liable
to exist when this war is over and will
demand Uncle Sam s attention.
War Not Gentlemanly.
This horrible trench warfare-for
me-knocks all the poetry out of our
old fashioned, gentlemanly war doings.
Gle is veteran of the Civil WARY
The submarines, the airships, the poi
sonous gases are heart breaking ex-
hlbltion. The present mode of fighting
may cease but sometimes it looks as if
war, in some form, may continue for
many years"
Photographed Father Damien.
Among the many pictures which Mr..
Dutton has sent to Mrs. Trenary is one
which he himself took of Father Da-
mien, the world famed priest who went
to Molokai to minister to the lepers
and finally himself succumbed to the
disease. The picture in question was
taken as Father Damien lay ON his
deathbed and shows most graphically
the horrid ravages Of the disease which
at that period had left the bones of his
hands bare in places.
The pictures of Mr.. Dutton himself
are taken nearly half century apart.
One is the picture of a handsome, dash
ing, alert young man looking to be less
than thirty, taken at about the time of
his service in the army. The other is
that of kindly faced, reverend APP
pearing man with the most fascinating
OF eyes that beam benefciently from
the face, and a patriarchal beard that
bespeaks his three score years and ten.

That System Transports 1900
Officers and Men for Bor-
der in 344 Cars.
tspzeyAL TO rrE TELronAs

BALTIMORE, July 15.-During
the mobilization of the national
guard on the Mexican border
In answer to President Wilson'S call,
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad sys-
Ter transported 1900 officers and men
in twenty-three special troop trains
composed of 344 cars, according to a
report handed President Willard.
A feature of the report is that the
troops leaving mobilization camps
were provided with Pullman equip
ment affording comfortable sleeping
accommodations for the soldiers, and
of further interest is the fact that
the troop trains we're all handled in
accordance with schedules provided
for the comfort of the guardsmen and
without mishap from any cause.
The troops handled included the
Maryland brigade, composed of the
First, Fourth and Fifth regiments,
Troop A and the hospital and ambu-
lance corps; and engineering corps,
Infantry and cavalry Of the Pennsyl-
vania National Guard, and a New
York signal corps battalion.
The trains were handled through
he Louisville and St. Louis gateways
NJ the baltimore and Ohio and dellv-
sred to Southwest roads for move
ment to the border. The report shows
that every train was handled as a
separate unit and footnotes explana-
