While Attitude Essentially
American Is Pleaded For
Speech Under Suffrage Aus
piCeS Full Of SplGn-
did Thought

Social Service was the topic upon
which the Hon. Benjamin Levine,
judge of the common pleas court OF
Cleveland, spoke before a fair sized
audience Tuesday evening at the
headquarters of the chamber of COM
merce.
The excessive heat probably pre-
vented many people from attending
the lecture, but those who braved the
sweltering weather were more than re-
paid with the wealth of thought pre-
sented them in the short, interesting
talk given by the speaker, who was
brought here under the auspices of
the recently formed Woman Suffrage
organization of this city.
Judge Levine spoke of the transit
tion in recent years from the individu-
alistic state of civilization to the so
cialized state where each member of
society realizes his dependence upon
the other members. Where in earlier
times if crime were committed or a
wrong done the offender received pun
ishment, but no steps were taken to-
ward reform, the tendency now is for
society as a whole to remove the sur
roundings that tend to make Grimm
ais.
He referred to the public schools as
an important factor in social service
if they were universally opened to the
people outside of school hours for plac-
es of meeting for entertainments, rec
reation, etc.
"The socialized viewpoint enables
people to think in community terms,
said Judge Levine. "Had European ma
tions acquired the socialized view
point there would have been no war
in Europe, for their difficulties would
have been arbitrated in the best In
terests of the largest number"
The speaker stated that following
the European war the nations of the
world would look upon America as an
example from which to model their
plans of reconstruction. And" said
he. "what America needs is a return
to the real American spirit, which is
to live and believe in the great prin
ciples of our government, principles
which the founders of our nation
pledged themselves to support with
their fortunes, their lives and theil
most sacred honor"
Judge Levine contrasted this pledge
with one recently circulated in many
localitis forbidding enlistment in ar
mics or navies for either offensive oil

POSSIBILITY
OF U. S. WITHOUT A PRESIDENT
WORRIES FESS
Introduces Amendment Making Pro-
vision for Reconventlon of Elec-
toral College In Such a
Contingency

Washington, July 19-There is re-
mote contingency that the United
States may be without president
next year, owing to hiatus in laws
covering the executive office.
According to DR.. Fess, representa-
tive from Ohio, the electoral college
ceases to exist on the second Monday
of January following presidential
election. If both the president. elect
and the vice president-elect should
die between then and March 4, in
auguration day, there would be no
one to take the presidency on March
4, in the opinion of DR.. Fess, because
the present law of presidential sue
cession applies only when an incum-
bent president and incumbent vice
president are removed.
An amendment introduced by DR..
Fess follows:
Provided, further, That in case OF
removal of both president and vice
president elect prior to the 4th of
March following the election, con
gress shall reconvene the presidential
electors for the purpose Of choosing
a president and vice president"

defensive purposes. Such an attitude
was condemned as un-American In
spirit and as opposed to social service
in its larger sense.
with regards to the question of CIV
ing the ballot to women the speaker
advised women desiring the vote to
have a program. of social service which
they could carry out with the ballot
and with a definite idea Of what they
wished to accomplish by voting he
said that their cause would gain many
friends.
In connection with social service
work in Cleveland Judge Levine gave
an interesting account of 80 young
men brought before the police judge
for minor offenses. In previous in
stances it had been the custom for Of
tenders in like cases to receive work
house sentences. "From which they
usually graduated to the penitentiary,"
said the speaker.
For the experiment fifty young men,
arrested upon charges punishable with
workhouse sentences, wee given their
choice Of going to the workhouse for
one month or attending night school
for one year. All chose the night
school and of the fifty only one ever
appeared to answer for a crime after
having received the opportunity Of
fered by attending the school. Before
the experiment was made about sixty
per cent were arrested for second Of
fenses and many for third and fourth.
In concluding his speech Judge Le-
vine stated that before the advance Of
social service wrongdoing must re-
cede and civilization will reach high
er plane than ever before in the his
tory of mankind.

Should sloan,s Liniment Go AIong7

Should Sioan's Liniment Go Along?
OF course it should! For after a
strenuous day when your muscles
have been exercised to the limit an
application of Sloan's Liniment will
take the soreness and stiffness away
and get you in fine shape for the
morrow. You should also use it for a
sudden attack of toothache, stiff
neck, backache, stings, bites and the
many accidents that are incidental to
a vacation. "We would as soon leave
our baggage as go on vacation or
camp out without Sloan's Liniment."
Writes one vacationist: I'VE use 1t
for everything from cramps to tooth
ache" Put bottle in your bag, be
prepared and have no regrets.
