that knew how to play nor have
ever seen a man who had bad 4
chance to play who was true Grim.
inal The spirit OF the streets must
be the spirit Of play, not the spirit
OF crime. The church alone can't
contend against this situation. You
men and women who have the
means and influence must provide
Fairgrounds.
There should be play grounds In
the northeast, the north and the
northwest sections of Detroit. There
ought TO be free golf links. We
should do In Detroit what has been
done in the crowded sections of New
York. where sections in the longest

been roped of during the certain
hours Of the day and been given
over to play. No traf1c is allowed

M. E. Conference
Is For Suffrage

The Quadrennial session OF the Gen.
sral Conference Of the Methodist Epis.
copal Church, in convention Assem-.
bled at Saratoga Springs. n. Y. has
taken advanced ground on the subject
Of equal suffrage. At the session Of
the conference held on Tuesday, May
%. United States Judge Henry w.
Rogers, head of the law school Of Yale
University, submitted y resolution
strongly favoring woman suffrage.
Judge Rogers moved the adoption OF
the resolution and the motion carried
almost unanimously. There were but
SIX votes recorded In the negative.
That the governing body Of the
great Methodist Episcopal Church
should go on record for equal suffrage
is triumph, but that the vote should
be practically unanimous Is wonderful
The General Conference meets once In
four years and is composed Of lay and
clerical delegates from all parts Of
the United States and from the
church's missions throughout the
world. Among those many hundred
OF representative men there were
barely half dozen who raised thelI
voices against the enfranchisement OF
women. It shows that the forces Of
right recognize that the forces Of evil
are arrayed against this great ques
ton. Once convinced of this, there 10
no doubt that every churchman and
woman, every forward looking individ.
uai and every moral power in the
country will be on the side Of equal
suffrage.
