KIMLocH CLUB ADOPTS
RESOLUTIONS ON MAI. RAMSAY

The following resolution mas been
adopted by the board of governors Of
the Rnloch Gun Club, at a special meet
ing:
THE board of governors OF the Kin
loch Gun Club records the untimely dealt
on September 2s, 1916. OF Major VIZ
liam G. Ramsay, the late president OF
the club.
"The Kinloch Gun Club was born IN
the mind of Major Ramsay, and he was
It's president from ITS organization TO
the date Of his death. Speaking as a
gun club. we can hest express our feel
ing toward Major Ramsay as a member
a the club. by saving that he was a
true sportsman in the broadest and
highest SENSE lover always Of manly
sports, of the great out-of doors, the
birds. the fields, the flowers, and a be
lever in equality and justice.
"As the president of the club he
was jealous for its welfare. tireless
in his efforts toward its upbuilding,
courteous and lovable to every mem
Der to an extent that drew to him
the kindly feeling. the admiration
and the love Of each member OF the
club. AS chief executive he managed
the affairs OF the club with a zeal
and earnestness that has resulted in
the upbuilding OF the affairs OF the
club TO its present status. and his
bearing toward all OF those who
served the club as employees was
such as TO win the love and support
OF every person connected with the
administration Of its affairs
I'VE lament his death: the loss OF
his companionship will be felt
throughout the life OF our organiza-
ton: his good fellowship we each
recognize as an example to be fol-
lowed. and his sterling worth as a
man will serve 10 be helpful to each
OF us throughout our entire lives.
I'VE realize that words cannot ex-
press the sorrow I'm the heart of each
member OF this board. or lessen the
grief Of his bereaved family. but II Is
ordered that this resolution be spread
upon the minutes, and that an en-
crossed copy be sent TO Mrs. Ramsay.
carrying with II our earnest wishes
for the best welfare of herself and
her children
Adopted. engrossed and signed by
order OF the board of governors. this
sixth day OF October. 1916.

and County Taxes
SAY BIBLE IS
ON THEIR SIDE

Miss Lucy Jeanne Price, Of New
YORK, anti-sunrag.st. addressed d
meeting in the green room of the Ho
tel DUPONT yesterday afternoon in the
interests or anti-sumrage. Mrs Henry
Is. Thompson, chairman of the Della
ware Association OF Women Opposed
to Womans Suffrage, presided at the
meeting and introduced Miss Price.
The meeting was held under the au-
specs Of the association. and il was
announced yesterday that Miss Price
would conduct an education tour of
the State this week, visiting Dover,
Milford. Georgetown and other towns
throughout the State to spread the
anti-sunrage propaganda.
In introducing the speaker Mrs
Thompson made pointed address in
which she presented in a clear and
concise manner why Delaware wO-
men should not be given the franchise
The ants are stronger now than
ever" said Mrs. Thompson, land now
is the tine when we feel that we must
do a little educating. II you women
would read your Bibles a little more
you would md in that book that we
stand for the right status of women,
for in the eleventh chapter OF First
Corinthians we read. Man is the glory
of God and woman is the glory of
man. To me that is sufficient proof
that We are right
In Conclusion Mrs. Thompson said
suffrage would increase divorces
taxes would be raised to pay extra
election costs, and that by entering
political life women were not follow
ing their natural lives.
Miss Price told of what she regarded
ms three fallacies Of suffrage; There are
the over-emphasis of government. the
thought that the vote is the only power
10 bring about good, and the belief that
men and women have different interests
Prohibition and suffrage have no coll
nection with one another whatsoever,
said Miss Price, and women can accom-
plish far more for both family and
general welfare and good by being out
side of party votes than she ever could
by being a voter. Miss Price gave sew
cral instances where wOman's vote await
ed nothing. and she quoted Judge Ben
Lindsey, Of the Juvenile Court of Colo
RADIO, as saying in a speech made since
suffrage was granted in that State;
"Our government has broken down IN
Colorado
I'm every State" said Miss Price,
"where suffrage has been voted on
twice. il has been defeated by a much
greater majority the second time than
at first.
Following the meeting tea was
served and Mrs. Thompson was as

Delaware Association OF Women OPP
