Impressions of Session Are Out
lined BY DR.. Wadman of
Anti-SaIoon League

Notwithstanding the great amount
of work done by the last congress in
passing war measures, time was found
t. take action upon two important do
nestle matters, prohibition and wO-
man suffrage, says Rev. John w.
Wadman, D. D., in a letter received
by George w. Patty, secretary of the
Anti-Saloon league. Dr. Wadman, who
is now making his home in Washing
ton, D. c., is superintendent of the Ha-
waiian branch of the National Anti.
Saloon league His letter in part fol-
lows:
We'll, the sessions record OF
achievement is probably unparalleled
IL world wide legislative history. Full
~ twenty billions of dollars have been
appropriated as war measures or as
loans to our Allies, while other meas,
ures have been enacted into statutes
of unsurpassing scope and significance
and with an enthusiasm and unanim-
ity seldom, if ever, known in parlia-
mentary procedure. 1t was indeed Il
most remarkable session. By the
passage of the army draft law,
fighting force Of a million men was
suddenly called into existence and
immediate training. BY the enact
ment of another law the entire control
of the nations food and fuel was vest
ed in the president. A huge appro.
priation was made, providing for loans
to our comrades in Distress" while
SC40,000,000 was made available for
airplanes with which to assist in the
final disposition of Prussian autocracy.
Then came the big revenue measures,
the tax bills, the espionage act and
the soldiers and sailors insurance
provisions-one of the sanest meas.
ures Of all.
Congress also found time to take &C
ton on two important domestic mat
ters-prohibition and woman's suff :.
rage.
Besides prohibiting further manu-
facture Of distilled beverages and au-
thorizing the president in the fool
control bill, to stop or curtail that OF
beer and wines, the senate by a vote
of 65 to 20 also passed the Sheppard
resolution, proposing a national dry
amendment to the federal constitu-
tion. It is pending in the house for ac-
ton at the December session.
The house created a special com
mittee on woman suffrage, while the
senate favorably reported the Susan
B. Anthony amendment, proposing an
equal franchise amendment to the

A Man'S.Sized Job For a Man, Sized
Official

Will the PROPOSED combination of the city water
works and street department make job too big for
one man?
Supervisor Zen HOllnger has said So but will an
examination Of facts justify this attitude?
Here is the summary of sugar plantations bust
ness under one manager:
!. Building railroads.
:. Operating railroads.
:. Operating sugar mills.
4. Operating large pumping plants.
5. Erection of buildings Of all kinds and sizes.
g. Constructing miles of bitches and tunnels.
4 Developing water
s. Operating plantation stores.
o. Operating machine shops
TO- Building roads.
H. Building bridges and culyerts
Il Maintaining hundreds of horses, mules,
carts etc.
ID Handling thousands of men and women.
l4' Operating electric plants.
10. Handling of many millions of money.
16 Planting, cultivating and producing; sugar.
with the countless factors entering into this special
ized industry.
And the plantation man not only has TO reckon
with physical facts, such engineering, buying,
selling etc, but he has to develop community cen
iers solve social problems solve labor problems in
the handling of great numbers of men, women and
children.
Is his job TOO big for one man? Not at all. 1t is
too big for the small man, but the success of Ha-
waits plantations is proof that there are big
enough TO manage these jobs
The city's departments can be centralized under
one competent head just as soon the supervisors
and the citizen quit thinking in terms of politics
and think in terms of business efficiency.

Larry Flynn Nabs Two Men
For Whom Police Search

Larry Flynn, deputy sheriff, was
watching two men at Sixteenth and
Martha streets this afternoon until
the suspicious pair saw him. Then
they walked quickly away. Flynn
followed and arrested them at Eight
centh and Spring streets.
The two birds are believed to
be precious additions to the rogues'
gallery at police headquarters. One,
Ed Moore of St. Louis, had in his hip
pocket one of those blue-barreled
aids 20 penniless highwaymen. The
other, Elmer Martin Of Topeka, tried
to throw away questioned ring be-
fore officers seached him. The ring
police suspect, was taken from some
"stick-up" victim.
Moore, it is thought, is the crony
of Rogers, the stick-up artist, who
pulled a gun on the night clerk of
the City hotel Thursday night. The
night clerk has positively identified
Rogers.
