PATRIOTIC ADDRESS AT CAMPFIRE
Rev. Charles H. Rcetts Speaks the True American Spirit Veterans Held Open House at Buckingham Memorial

Sedgwick Post No. i, c. A. R., en- tertained the members of the Wom- ans Relief Corps, No 16, the Citi- zens corps and the Spanish War Vet erans at a campfire gathering in Buckingham Memorial on Friday ev- ening. Rev. Charles H. Ricketts, pas- tor of the Greeneville Congregational church, was the principal speaker and his topic was the True American Spir- it.
 The evening opened with delicious chowder which was served under the direction of a committee of ladies. After the chowder Commander Orrin M Price called the gathering to or der and in a brief address welcomed all present The vice commander, Rev. F. George Riddle, made a few remarks and others were also heard. Com nlander Price introduced Rev. MT. Ricketts as the speaker of the even ing. In part Rev. MT. Ricketts spoke as follows:
 ly invited myself and family here to- nighttime whole family to eat and I to speak-he did two dangerous things, first, he didn't assign me a subject, and secondly he didn't put me under a time limit. Now when you invite l man to speak, who is frequently called upon to make set addresses, the safest thing to do is to bring him be- fore a public magistrate and put him under oath that he will talk only so long, for if you don't the average pub lie speaker has brass enough to talk all day or all night-as the case may be, provided anyone in still alive to hear him.
 About ten years ago this fact was

of Mrs. George and writing of her col leagues. She said our government is run by voters Women are proving competent citizens, too, and want this last step of voting as a proof of con- fldence.
 MT. Underhill stated that all the western states having suffrage are Mormon states and that the Mormon church holds the balance of power in all of them He said the vote is mere ly a form of government, not a right or priviledge. Men elect other men to govern for them It Is protective and every voter may be called upon to help protect in time of trouble. The vote is of very little value and men, pay little attention to it. Many ne glect it. Less than one-third voted in the recent primary in Massachusetts. Suffrage would only double the indif- ferent vote and the indifferent vote is the danger.
 Votes do not make laws. Men can agree on one man to represent them, but women never could. Father can get along very well without mothers

of thus abusing the open gates of America! When the American spirit opens her generous arms so wide as to embrace the down-trodden of the earth, what does she say? Virtually this: Come to this country where you can feed clothe, shelter and educate your family, as every real man longs to do; and where you can enjoy po- litical freedom which is the birth right of every man who breathes! But you shall not come here to manufac- ture the thunder bolts of wrath, and stow them away in the holds of ships that America is pleased to send out upon the high seas. Let there be no jellyfish diplomacy in this matterI
 What then is the real American spirit?
 It is the free spirit Every per son in the United States has the right to publicly express his ideas, or lack of ideas which is often the case. Of course one must be careful and not infringe upon the rights of others If character is assaulted or injustice done by voice or pen redress can be sought in the courts. Individual rights are protected by law. But every man has right to express his opinion, on the sayings. writings, doings of any other man. Thank God the public press in this country is not muZZled. If it was public officials would ride roughshod over the rights of the people. If any | public man in this country goes far astray he will be dashed by the press, for there is nothing he fears more than the pen of the editor and the pencil of the comic artist. There is nothing that makes him writhe more than to be ridiculed in the cartoons. The real American spirit as seen in free public opinion keeps him where he belongs.
 The real American spirit is seen | in our free institutions in our edu- | cational system, in our church life and in our national spirit of helpfulness.
 Patriotic selections rendered by the orchestra brought the evening to a close

SUFFRAGE DEBATE HELD
 AT SLATER HALL
Many Interesting Points Were
 Brought Out by Both Sides.

Slater Hall was well filled on Fri day evening with representative au- dience who enjoyed the debate on the question of woman suffrage given under the auspices of the Norwich Equal Franchise League and the Nor wich Anti-Suffrage League.
 Mrs. Thomas Hepburn, of Hartford, president of the State Suffrage Lea que, spoke on the affirmative side and Charles Underhill of Boston, politician spoke for the negative. Principal and time Keeper for the speakers. Each was given 30 minutes for pre- senting his or her side of the question. and then 10 minutes for rebuttal. Later each was given three minutes for answering the questions which were quite freely asked from the audience.
 Mrs. Hepburn was the first speaker She referred to the II suffrage state and to the fact that they border on each other. Would these states aGopt something which had proved a fail ure in an adjoining one?
 Over a million votes were cast for suffrage last fall more than for Taft or Roosevelt. The vote is the most efficient means of registering public opinion in such a way that it shall be binding upon government Men and women are alike in their final aims for the public good. Times have changed and government touches the home as never before so that it is necessary for women to have the vote in order to do their duty by the home. So many laws at the Hartford as sembly last year touched women ev-

were the ones who made the most

were the ones who made the most noise for suffrage.
 Mrs. Hepburn immediately gave facts and figures which disprOved many of his statements She said all suffragists are not socialists any more then all antis are saloonkeepers. Six suffrage states are prohibition instead of the four he gave.
 Miss Julia Lathrop is a voter in Illinois. He said she kept her posi- ton because she was not one. Utah and Idaho are the only two states having a high percentage of Mormons. There are only 356.OOO of these in the United States, to 3S millions other voters If they held the balance of power, they would hold more offices than they now do. Men over 45 years do not have to fight but they do not have the suffrage taken away from them on reaching that age If the vote has no value then the Revolutionary war was an unnecessary thing and not worth the trouble.
 The questions also called forth some good arguments on various topics.

help in law-making. He said suffrage had been repealed in Utah and was in bad condition in two other states
 Men vote by classes anyway and women would do the same. She would either double her husbands vote or disfranchise him. Eighty per cent of the women of Connecticut are married so the others would be hopelessly out numbered and their vote would have no effect. It would only be an addi- tional burden of costs to be paid by taxation. And as politics is an excit- ,ng, nerve-wracking game 1t would tax f woman's physical resources.

Thousands Use Them For Indigestion. Gas, Heartburn. Makes Sick, Sour Stomach Feel Fine.

Thousands of people who constantly had indigestion after meals and whose food never seemed to agree with them have found happy relief and are able to eat all they want any time without distress since they began on Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets.
 If you suffer from gas, heartburn, lndiges tion, go to Druggists Lee & Os- good or any good drug store and say: T want to try Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets under your guarantee that unless they give me prompt relief you will return my money" Druggists everywhere do sell 1t that way because they know Mi-o-na surely does quickly end indi- gestion and stomach distress, that they are pleasant and easy to take and per- fectly harmless. But they let the pur- chaser be the judge and cheerfully re- fund money if demanded.

 She can now own her property and her children-in education and in re- sponsibility. As opportunity has of fered she has grasped it and has made good. But she is still in the difran- chised class, with men convicted of heinous crimes. This idea of her dis ability Is not fiutering. She needs to know how to train the future citizens, but is held back by custom.
 A member of the legislature said Mrs. Hepburn, ought not to be there, but thought 1t was all right for young CT and less experienced girls to be working among men, because they were used to that. Before the session was over he said he had got used to her, too, and would endorse her cause. She spoke of the chief opposition to woman suffrage as coming from the liquor interests. They hired men to speak against it long before the anti suffragists took it up. They are very glad of their assistance and the liquor papers in the west print the pictures
