Christian service as any body of wo- men in the world, be it
 Resolved, That the autumnal con- ference of Rhode Island Congrega- tional churches assembled on the ninth day of November, 1916, in the Franklin church at, Howard, does hereby endorse giving the franchise to women on the same terms as men, and advocate securing the same" either by state or federal action.
 Thousands of suffragists have felt keenly the lack of sympathy shown to their cause by their respective churches and will welcome this great step forward with great joy. The churches on their side have felt that their members were neglecting their churches for suffrage, which in a measure is also true. The writer has had it said when more than once, If you gave as much Of your time and money to the church as you do to suffrage work it would be great gain to the church. True. but who would that our churches have not assisted us has forced us to concentrate our forces upon this object; for we saw that enfranchisement could come only through our own united efforts. No one has deplored more than the suf- fragists themselves, the wicked waste of time, strength and money that they have been forced to put into the long, strenuous fight for the true seal of citizenship which has been so freely and easily given to every foreign man, irrespective of education or character the vote.
 Our churches have 1t within their power to hasten the day when this great expenditure of time, strength, and money, may flow back into the life of the church. The suffragists were never relax in their zeal for po- litical freedom. More and more will all they are and all they have, be spent upon gaining the enfranchise- ment of women. It is a part of our religion and our civic duty.

You see, it costs them so much for their autos and they are always going away on trips to- gether. Why, last winter we girls regularly went to matinees because the boys used to go in punches by themselves in the evening and then the next day they would have the nerve to tell us what good times they'd enjoyed."
 They ought to be licked!" declared her father I know they never pay dinner calls or take time to speak to their hostess when they meet on the street. because your mother and her friends lave grown resigned to that.

Of course Gertrude Is aw- fully pretty but Henry was the worst of the lot and all of us th1nk that maybe she just asked him herself and he couldn't think of any way to stop her.

Waste not, want not is an old, old maxim, but there are times when wastefulness seems of no account. Workingmen who would marvel at the wholesale destruction of food in the kitchen are today throwing away the good will of their employers and the public in most eXtravag gant ard sin full manner. They are spending their high wages foolishly in various forms of dissipation and an impatient pub lie, as we'll as impatient employers, are not blind to their error. For the moment punishment is suspended. It is certain to come, however, for in this finite existence of humanity there has never been wilful waste that vas not followed by woful want. and from the earliest days of the world men have been made aware that if the mills of the gods grind slowly, they grind ex

OTHER VIEW POINTS

If Hughes could have had the presi- dency with republican senate and a republican house to support him, that would have been a splendid start.
 He would have been able to do things in accordance with his powerful con- structive abilities. But let Hughes be president with a doubtful house and hostile senate, and what could he do? He would be the responsible head of a government that he could not control. Much would be expected of him and disappointment would have to follow.-Hartford Courant.

Much is being said about the plight of the salaried man in these times of high prices. The pinch does come hard on a good many men whose wage is stationary, but who are paying higher for everything, particularly this
 fall when food products are so scarce. Yet if the salaried mans wages re- main stationary while the pay of oth- CT workers has increased, let him not altogether blame the fates and the opposite political party. Perhaps he has been at fault somewhere. It has generally been true, where man has
 been thoroughly on his job, growing in efficiency and resourcefulness, that he has had his raise in pay, largely com pensating for the higher scale of prices. If he hasn't had any. he may be the one to blame. Perhaps he has spent too much time reading about the high prices, when he should have been thinking up means of enlarging his uctiveness.-Meriden Journal.

WORK ENDED
On PUNITIVE
EXPEDITION
BANDITS DISPERSED - SAFETY
ON BORDER ASSURED - DEATH
OR CAPTURE OF VILLA NOT
INCLUDED.

Field Headquarters, April 20.-(By
courier to Columbus, n. NJ, April 24)
There are indications in the villa
territory in Mexico that the work of
the punitive expedition under General
]. ]. Pershing has been accomplished.
This work, according to reports re-
ceived here from Washington, did
not include the death or the capture
of Francisco Villa. The announced
purpose was the dispersal of Willis
tas and the establishment Of safety
of Americans on the border.
The Villistas have been dispersed
for several weeks or else driven al
most completely from the state of
Chihuahua, a distance of nearly 500
miles south of the American boun-
Diary.
Throughout this territory the peo-
pie have been impressed with two
facts, which have inspired respect
for American soldiers. They know
that when Americans shoot they kill,
and they know that a handful of
Americans can not be successfully
attacked by superior numbers.
The Villistas, ever since Colonel
Dodd's fight at Guerrero, have run for
cover whenever the cavalrymen found
their trails. Carranza officials, be-
fore this expedition had penetrated
Villas strongholds, warned some Of
the American officers that they
would never be able to cut loose from
their bases and forge ahead with such
small bodies of troops. In no in
stance has one of these small detach-
ments failed nor have the Americans,
as the Mexican advisers predicted,
ever been threatened with attack
from the superior forces of Villistas'
whom they sometimes follow.
In the Parral fight there was
fifteen-mile retreat by the Americans,
but this was due to the American
commanders desire not to hit civil
ians. which led him to permit only
few of his men, the best shots, to
return fire of Carranza troops.
After their experiences with Amer
lean columns, the Villistas, it is he
lieved here, will be very slow to
approach the border of the United
States. 1t is thought that they will
hardly approach this line at all, II
they think the Americans can launch
an immediate pursuit of them across
the international line.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 25.-lt
is not expected that the Scott
Obregon conference will occur
for a week at least. This is the
overshadowing topic in the
Mexican situation today.
Assurances that the de facto
government is able to cope with
the Villa bands will likely be
made by Obregon to General
Scott at the coming conference.
Oregon, it was learned, will
describe his plans for the polio
ing of northern Mexico. Should
General Scott deem the plan
adequate, Carranza will renew
his request to have the Ameri-
can troops withdrawn.
Consul Garcia has not re-
ceived confirmation as to the
time when Obregon will arrive
here.
As provisions, sufficient to
last for thirty days, have been
sent to the troops, it is evident
that the soldiers will not be
withdrawn for several weeks
yet.
General Obregon left San
Luis Potosi today for Juarez,
where he expected to meet
General Scott soon.

Funston to Accompany Scott

San Antonio, Tex, April 25.-Added
interest was given the Obregon-Scott
conference today by the receipt Of
news that more Mexican troops are
being concentrated in northern Mexi-
co. 1t is realized that Obregon will
have placed forces that by the time he
meets Scott, he will have behind him
and within easy reach no less than
10000 men. Failure by Obregon to con-
vince Scott of the soundness of his
diplomatic arguments could be fol-
lowed, army men asserted, by the
practical use of this combined force.
1t was announced at departmental
headquarters today that Funston will
accompany Scott for the conference
with Obregon.
The conferdnce will probably be
held at El Paso, as soon as Obregon
can reach the border.
Funstons participation in the bor-
der negotiations was ordered by the
war department, believing that the
Parpose of the conference could be
better served if Scott has with him
one who is more intimately acquaint-
ed with the details.
Three minor engagements between
Major Howzes' picked squadron and
Carranza troops were recounted in
dispatches from the front to head
quarters today.
