It was not a grim, defiant silence,
either, but a cheerful silence eloquent
with frank and friendly appeal. There
was not even any Haunting OF ag-
gressive banners and notices. Those
thousands of mute women did not
demand the vote; they merely asked
for it, humbly, in the traditional spirit
of old-fashioned women-folk. 1t was

demands, but doing so in the spirit
and rnien of her mild-mannered fore
mothers. It was a deliberate expert
nlent in the use of feminine gentle
ness on the hostile male.
And any philosophic student OF
human nature is forced to admire
this bit of psychological strategy.
Doesn't every philosopher know that

This is a truth which the British
mllitants ignored, to their own cost.
1t is truth which most American
suffragists have felt instinctively, ard
have generally acted on. Even yet,
however, our suffragists on the whole
do not recognize the full import OF
the fact so strikingly illustrated at
St. Louis.
Most of those who are unwilling
to use threats in their propaganda
still persist in arguing. And what
woman ever persuaded man in ar
gument? The better the suff1aglsts
argue, the greater offense they colh'
nit. What man can endure that wo-
man should out-logic him?

OUR WAR SACRIFICE

wealth as We destroyed in the civil
-war:a -:~--so-.-- $780,
The direct cost for two years is
figured at about $50. DOG 100000. That
is more than ten times as much as
the immediate cost of the civil war
to North and South together. But it
isn't so great, considering the total
wealth. The $4,O00,00OO00 or more
that cur great struggle cost was ore
fourth of the estimated wealth Of thu
nation. The European belligeccrts
have not yet spent anywhere meas

take them year or two longer TO
reach that point. 1t would probably
take them, on an average, tnree or
four years more to arrive at the de-
gree of exhaustion of the Confed-
eracy when it finally gave up.
In men, too, Europe has not equall-
ed our record. The civil war en-
gagged, altogether about s per cent
of our population. The European
armies, vast as they are, appear to
number no more than a per cent of
the belligerent populations.
In other words, the sacrifices made
thus far by European belligerents
are only about half as great as those
we made half century ago.

GOSPEL TENT MEETINGS
Large Audience Hears Evangelist
Gibson Last Night

"Where will Gods people dwell
throughout Eternity?On earth or in
Heaven" will be the subject dis
coursed upon by Evangelist F. E.
Gibson tonight at the tent on north
Washington street.
The destiny Of Satan and the
plan of salvation" was his theme last
night. The speaker delivered an in
teresting sermon on the subject. He
first said that Satan was at one time
in heaven and was called Lucifer,
son of the morning, as the prophet
Isaiah said in the 18th chapter of
his book; also in Luke;s Gospel Christ
said 81 beheld Satan as lightning fall
from heaven" and John in the Reve-
lation, chapter IL, said there was war
in heaven between Christ and his an
gels ant Satan and his angels, and,
a result, Satan and his angels were
cast out Of heaven and are now at
work in the earth. Peter says in his
epistle that "our adversary, the devil
as a roaring lion walketh about seek
ing whom he may devour," and that
re need to watch and pray lest he
deceive us and we close eternal lie.
The speaker said the day will srUn
come Wien Jesus Christ will destroy
all sin and the devil who has ed Oil
in the work of deception.

ALLEGED BLOT ON VIRGINIA
Professor Longacre Declares Men of
Virginia Will Not Have Con
sciences Enslaved

Professor C. S. Longacre, national
secretary of the Religious Liberty
Association &c America, told large
audience at the City Auditorium in
Richmond Sunday afternoon in his
lecture on Sunday Blue Laws that
the efforts now being put forth to
enforce such laws are but steps to-
ward enactin:' legislation that would
cause persecution among those who
prefer to worship according to the
dictates of tneir own conscience.
Professor Longacre reviewed the
"ouster" act and declared that the
Mayor is enforcing the Sunday laws,
which have long since become obsolete
in order that the people of Richmond
might get taste Of what is going to
be heaped upon them if they permit
this present muzzling of their con-
sciences without protesting and to
arouse them to the dangers which
threaten their liberties.
The lecturer reviewed the history
Of the "blue laws" from the DAYS of
Jay law. down to THE present time,
laying special stress upon! the absuir-
dities and Orange opinions which
were carried into effect during the

that he did not want it to be under
stood he. did not believe in Sabbath
observance.
He affirmed that the Sabbath ought
ito be observed with piety and the
deepest conviction, but that the State
is unable to supply these. He further
said that the State has no right to-
enforce religious institutions upon
any citizen, for, in so doing, it makes
religious conduct involuntary, which
is contrary to Gospel principles.
These musty old 'blue laws, the
speaker declared, ought to be re-
pealed instead of enforced, as the
American people will not submit to
rigid enforcement of the religious
prohibition, which accounts for their
remaining obsolete on the statute
books for so many years.
He referred to George Washington,
Thomas jefferson, Patrick Henry,
James Madison and George Mason,
all of Virginia, as real founders OF
religious liberty in America, and de-
clared that the present movement to-
enslave the consciences of men IN
Virginia is blot on the fair name of
the State which gave birth to civil
and religious liberty on June II, TITS
when the Declaration of Rights was
passed by the Virginia Assembly il,

1t is learned that the administra-
ton contemplates blockade Of every
Mexican port on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts within the next few
days. This step will be taken to pre-
vent arms, ammunition and other war
supplies from reaching Mexican fore
es in the event that Carranza fails
to yield completely to the United
States and continues making threats
and warlike demonstrations. With
the border closed toghtly against all
