ly dangerous one with which to give
suffrage here its first trial.
"A referendum on this subject would
have given suffrage black eye here
from which it would never recover.
The referendum was proposed merely
to delay and obstruct the passage of
the Sheppard bill"
Defeat of the referendum amend
ment to the Sheppard bill simply
means that the citizens of the Dis
trict must band together closer than
ever to fight against disfranchise-
ment," said A. Leftwich Sinclair, the
newly elected president of the Cham
Der of Commerce.
Amendment Concerns Him.
81 do not care to discuss the Shep-
pard bill or it's provisions, but I am
greatly concerned over the defeat OF
the Underwood amendment. which
would have allowed the citizens of
the District to express their opinions
on this subject" continued President
Sinclair.
'sThe people of every other COM
munity in this country have the right
to decide by ballot grave questions
affecting their mode of living and
conditions under which they shall
live. The people of the District
should not have been denied this
right. in my opinion.
1--WE not only need the ballot n
the District, but we have a right to
1t. 1 shall strive for the rest of my
life with all the vigor I possess TO
bring about an end to this arbitrary
Acknowledgement of District citizens.
The absence of the ballot leaves the
people of the community powerless
to exercise any say in the conduct OF
their own affairs, and this Is mani
testify un-American, undemocratic,
and unfair"
P. T. Moran, who presided at Sun
days meeting of advocates of the ref
erendum on the Sheppard bill said to-
day in commenting on the defeat OF
the Underwood amendment:
81 view with regret the defeat of
the suffrage amendment for the Dis
trict The right to referendum vote
would mean more to Washington than
most people realize. 1t is not alone
this prohibition measure which is be-
ing thrust upon the people without
their consent that makes me COM
plain, but what is in store for us in
the future.
"Are we not justified in assuming
that if the Sheppard bill becomes
law without the voice of the people
that it may be just the forerunner
of what is to- come? May not other
Issues come up which will vitality ar
feet the interests of every citizen of
Washington when we must sit back,
whether we like the legislation or
not, because we have nothing to
say?"

RED CROSS WORK
WOMEN UNDERTAKE WORK IN
THEIR CIRCLES-TURN IN
SUPPLIES.

While the active agitation of rails
ing the loan for the Liberty bond is
sue was absorbing the attention Of
the men of cities over the country,
our consideration of the Red Cross
was somewhat overshadowed ana lost
sight of. Now that the dust has
cleared away from the loan, and the
bells stopped ringing. we awaken TO
find that the women have been work
ing right along with a steadiness OF
purpose which surprises one. toward
careful consideration of the needs
of the Red Cross.
Public attention will now be turn
ed toward this work. Little of il
has been heard on the street or in
offices during the past few days.
But now il is learned that women'a
clubs throughout the city are taking
up the work, and have already made
arrangements for its furtherance.
The Central Embroidering club
has decided that instead of the hos
tess serving lunches at their bi-week-
ly meetings, she shah give the esti-
mated cost of the lunch in money to
the cause of the Red Cross. Also,
instead Of making embroidery for
themselves, they will learn what is
desired for use in hospitals and
camps, and busy themselves in fur
nishing and making this equipment
and turn il into the local chapter.
This is not the only club which
has done that. The East Side club
is doing the same, and also he y.
Y. u. club. They are willing 20 fore

the adornment Of their own homes
or persons. and give that time and
the incident expense TO the Red Cross
cause.
There is also much actual money
to be raised for this work, outside of
the donations made by the funds
these ladies are giving. 1t is again
expected that NOR. concentrated
work will begin at once. An officer
Of the chapter said that it is the in
tention to obtain a Don or office,
where a record or register might be
kept for the signature of visitors and
donors, and where women could
gather for an afternoon of sewing or
other work for the cause.
Glasses are being formed for in
struetion in first aid. cooking and
hygiene. Information Of their prog
ress at this time is 0 available, but
prospects for well filled classes We're
good some days back, ii vas said.
