SUNDAY FOR DETROIT.
Evangelist VIII Give Time for Revival
Effort During Dry Eampafgn

Detroit. Mich. sApril 25.-Rev. Billy
Sunday Is coming to Detroit He
wilt wage n revival campaign begin
ming September 8. This is one OF
the most important announcements
thus far made in the Statewide fight.
Evangelist Sundays reputation
throughout the Christian world is
that of a Goliath in the fight against
King Alcohol. In every revival cam
paign which he has conducted, his
denunciation OF the saloon and it's al
lied iniquities has been so vigorous,
practical and effective that there Is
no single man living today who Is
more feared or hated by the booze
barons than Sunday.
With its vast array Of lawIess sa-
looms, Detroit probably offers Mr.
Sunday today the most promising
battlefield he could find anywhere in
America for turning his guns on the
organized, legaliZed. commerciallzed
no secret that some Of the religious
forces OF Detroit for many months
If not years. have been trying to en-
gage Sunday for a campaign in order
that they might strike vigorous
blows at the booze business.
Sundays revival in Detroit will be
waged during the two months pre-
cedng the vote on Statewide prohibi-
ton. Newspapers containing daily re-
ports of the gospel campaign will
be scattered all over the State. De-
troit is the Michigan metropolis. If
the wet majority there can be largely
reduced through the influence Of the
Sunday campaign, there is every
reason to believe that the whole State
will go dry with a positive vote No

Passengers on the train attribute the

Some of the Pretty, Frivolous Things
That Appear This Season.
Fancy adjustable hatbands are fea-
ture of the new millinery and appeal
to the woman whose longing for va
riety is hampered by limited purse.
They furnish an excellent means of
introducing daring touches of color in
an otherwise dark street costume and
are adaptable to the stif. crowned, mar
row brimmed models as we'll as to the
soft sports hats of felt and beaver for
which they were originally designed.
Plain colored ribbons In the new,
bright shades as well as in striped and
blocked effects, combining two colors
in sharp contrast. are the most used
for adjustable hatbands Many of
these are So woven as to pass for
hand knitted bands and have a con-
venient elasticity which makes them
easily adjustable to any size crown.
Others are OF stiff ribbed silk similar
to betting and fasten under the --LATEST

Double faced ribbons, showing a dark
shade on one side and vivid coIoring
on the other, are among the most sat

Whenever boy scouts take a winter

substantial comfort and happiness may

cred up, or especially after sleet
storms, when everything edible is coat
ed over beyond possible finding for
several days, many a little feathered

their excessive vitality and the neces-

Miss Wilson always has been a suf-
fragist at heart, but 1t was not until
last year, after her father had an
nounced his own views On the Ques-
ton OF votes for women, that she per-
mitted herself to come out and work
for the Acknowledgement of her sex.
She had for several years attended as a
silent spectator all the mass meetings
OF the suffrage societies. Even now
she seldom makes speeches, since she
needs to save her voice for her chosen
career as vocal artist.
Recently Miss Wilson was one Of the
hostesses at suffrage tea given In
New York, where Miss Julia Lathrop,
head of the national children's bureau,
spoke about the relation Of suffrage TO
child welfare. The childrens bureau
is another one Of the humanitarian in
terests Of Miss Wilson, whose unaf-
fected love Of humanity has led her to
ally herself with many philanthropic
movements.
1t is said that she always gives the
proceeds of her concert money to the
work for the blind, for, while she is an
enthusiastic lover Of her work, she
does not sing to enrich herself, but to
help mankind.

Mrs. Charles Pope in the absence of
Miss Dewey who is at present In Lii
nois.
Miss Dewey's paper opened with de-
scriptions of the contrasting conditions
to which the Federal and the Confed-
crate soldier returned after the war
closed. She outlined the political stu
alton which followed Lincoln s death
when Johnson had taken his place as
president.
She said Johnson was inefficient and
weak, with his sympathies with the
whites of the south while his congress,
led by Thaddeus Stevens, went to the
other extreme and wanted to give the
blacks homesteads and make them So
cially equals of the whites.
"To the radical reconstruction poll
cies of Stevens" wrote Miss Dewey,
"to his lack of understanding Of south
ern social conditions, to his lack of
foresight, we may attribute the deplor-
able situation of the south during the
reconstruction period, lasting ten or
more years after the war.
I'm South Carolina the legislature
was Overwhelmingly black. There were
124 members of which but % were
white. It was black parliament and
the only one that ever existed on earth
with a white constituency.
''It was this condition and others
produced by the same causes that re-
suited in disintegration, politically and
socially, and the rise of the Ku-Klux
clan to amend these evils.
Gin spite of it's many Objectionable
features, there is no doubt that this
country owes heavy debt to the noise
less white horsemen of the invisible
empire. -
After the paper, Mrs. Pope read a
letter received from Mrs. Holt of
Louisiana, a friend of the Dewey fam
