Citizen Associations and
Their Power
Organization Bring Needed RformSThe Probe oeeOquAE
and What the suRrsgettes Have Done

Citizen associations are beginning their fall meet
ngs which makes it opporune to point out the power and
influence that be welded by these organizations in the
interest of the people of Washington.
1t is significant of cty-wide public sentiment for in
stance when as already has happened several Of the c
zen associations have discussed the inadequate street
service here The Southeast Citizens Association presents
the Commissioners rather complete program OF reform
in the following:
'Home rule and real elective franchise for residents
of the District of Columbia; separation Of the Utilities
Commission from the scope of the Commissioners duties
and control and the establishment of definite system OF
commission procedure hearings and actions on the lines
of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and with the
presiding members duly admitted members OF the bar OF
the courts Of the District of Coumbia pensions for the
public school teachers; elimination of the Borland
amendment defining by law the weight and contents of
loaf of bread; to control overstorage and mali
cous waste of food in the District of Columbia by food
manipulators spectators; and the establishment OF
regular and definite for the of the telephone at
one cent a call straight"
Some of the above would seem to be impossible
of fufment for time to come but there many
which can be obtained if there sufficient pressure the
part of the people for them There political organ
zatons power in Washington and the residents
of the District should therefore give their support to the
Citizen Associations which be made real unit OF In
huence.

"Why Do You Want to Kill

In the first place it involves two

the facts to you as they were sent

This is the story:
A young girl who had lived in a
small town in the West came to
New York to get a position in a
business office. She succeeded in
securing a very satisfactory one,
and lived happily with a married
sister for a few months until the
brother-in-law decided to move to
another city. The girl remained
behind them, with no friends and
alone. In her search for a room TO
live in she met with a most I'M
fortunate experience. She was
ashamed and afraid to mention it,
and confided to no one, attempting
as time went on to efface it as
much as possible from her mind.
She devoted herself whole
heartedly to her work and was
holding an excellent position,

to marry him. She refused at first,
but he was insistent. Then she
told him of this episode of her
girlhood. He assured her that it
made no difference in his feelings
toward her, and they were mar
ried. But they did not live happy
ever afterward.
According to her letter, he be-
gan by beating and choking her,
but mere physical cruelty proved
too tame an amusement for one of
his tastes, especially as the poor
little idiot forgave him, which was
a technical error on her part.

friends that ! wasn't a good girl
when he married me. He says that
he is going to put everybody
against me-"
Well, let him, my dear woman,
let him. By doing so he will only
reveal himself to his world as an
unmitigated cad and rotter. He
has already proved himself one to
his wife. And if you have friends
who would be affected by the scan
dalous stories which a man would
spread about his wife, the sooner
you get a new set the better for
you. And he threatens to tell his
friends that you were not a good
girl when he married you!
This man has proved that he is
incapable of appreciating the
touching confidence this girl
showed him when she told him
something that she had never
mentioned to another human be-
ing. She acted from an instinct
lively honest impulse such as few
persons are capable of. She said
in effect: at is not obligatory for
me to tell this embarrassing and
tragic secret of mine, but do so
because | am both honest and too
proud to stand on any false pre-
lenses" She was of too generous
a nature to dream that her con-
fession would involve any unpleas-
ant consequences.
1t would have been impossible
for her to throw up to him any of
his past delinquencies, and she
never imagined that he would cast
in her teeth an incident for which
she was in no way responsible,
Then, if to be generous, to be hon
est, to be true, does not constitute
a pure woman, let us, in heavens
name, modify or reconstruct our
ideas Of purity.

that moment a healthy-minded
community has a right to protest.
There are only two decent and

The Need of New Schools.

1t is not surprising that the Rhode Island Avenue

to have construction begun on the school for which
Congress has appropriated money Congestion in the schools
this year has caused much inconvenience 1t would be
gretabe if similar condition allowed to exist at the
beginning of the next school year. Work schools for
which moneys have been appropriated should be begun with
out delay and incidentally the Commissioners should begin
