SENATOR KENYON STRIKES THE
SALOON WITH BARE KNUCKLES.

In the recent debate, which preceded
the passage of the resolution for the
submission of the prohibition amend
ment, Senator Kenyon, of this state,
used his bare knuckles on the Amer
lean saloon. He fiercely attacked the
liquor traffic from every standpoint.
The following are some of the hits
which he landed on the saloon:
"No one rises on this floor or else
where to defend the American, saloon
directly. The American saloon has
no conscience. 1t never did good
act, or failed to do bad one.
ut is a trap for the youth; a de-
stroyer for the old; foul spawning
place for crime; corrupter of poll
tics; knows no party; supports those
men for office whom it thinks can be
easiest influenced; has no respect for
law or the courts; debauches city
councils, juries and everyone it can
reach; is powerful in the unity of it's
vote, and creates towards in office.
1T f1atters, tricks, cajoles and de-
ceives in order to accomplish its pur-
pose; is responsible for more ruin
and death than all the wars the nation
has ever engaged in; has corrupted
more politics, ruined more lives, wild
owed more women, orphaned more
children, destroyed more homes, caus-
ed more tears to flow, broken more
hearts, undermined more manhood, and
sent more people to an early grave
than any other influence in our land.
"Its day has come. No subterfuge
can long save it. 1t will be dragged
into the open, the influence behind it,
stripped of their masks. A mighty
public conscience is aroused, moving
on rapidly, confidently, undismayed,
and undeceived.
Behind it are the churches of the
nation, Protestant and Catholic,
schools, colleges and homes. This
public conscience is not discouraged
by defeat or deceived by any cunning
devices, by any shams or pretenses.
It's cause is the cause of humanity, of
righteousness and God Almighty fights
with it.
1T has no desire to injure the sa-
loon keeper. It would help him, but
it asks no quarter of the saloon, and
it proposes to give none. The forces
fighting the saloon are not composed
of mollycoddles. The most far-seeing
business minds of the country are in
the ranks.
MEN will have to take their places
in this fight. They cannot sit on the
fence. This fight is no place for the
political coward to stand between the
lines He will be shot from both d.
rections.
mo denunciation, no slurs, no jests
on the floor of the senate, no hurting |
of epithet, no cheap ribaldry in the |
cloak rooms, will stop this fight. It |
is going on in congress, and it is 60
ing on in the nation until the tear
orphan making, home
manhood debauching,
MISUNDERSTANDING, hell-flling sa-
loon business is banished from this
country. The American saloon is just
as certainly doomed as slavery was
doomed.
"A saloonless nation means an ef-
fcient nation, better able to cope
with any problem threatening it from
without or within"

OrIoin Of the Word lady,"

Why we call q woman a Lady is
known, probably, to few women. It
came from a practice that obtained In
the manor houses Of England where,
once a week, the lady Of the manor
distributed to her poor neighbors, with
her own hands, loaves Of bread. She
came to be called "Laef day." the
Saxon words for bread giver. These
two words became one: LADY"

Miss Uxenia 3. Scott Will Promote
Welfare of Houston's People.
DR.. George e. Haynes, professor of
social science at Fisk university and
executive secretary = of the National
League on Urban Conditions Among
Colored People, has received word that
Miss Uxenia B. Scott, one Of the public
schoolteachers of Houston, Tex, has
just been appointed by the Houston
social service bureau as district secre-
tary of the Neighborhood House For
C0l0red People. This appointment
scores another success for the social
service training center conducted by
the cooperation Of the Bethlehem
House of the Woman's Missionary
council, Nj. e. Church South, Fisk uni
versity and the National League on Ur-
ban Conditions Among Negroes. She
received part Of her training at Nash
vile on one Of the scholarships offered
by the National Urban league.
Miss Scott finished the Houston high
school and entered Fisk university in
1909. She pursued the four year course
In education, receiving degree Of
B. A. in education in 1913. During her
college course she took special cleo
lives In social science and social serv-
ice. During one Of her summer vaca-
lions in Nashville she was volunteer
supervisor Of the first playground con-
Quoted in that city for cOlored children.
The following year Miss Scott was
awarded one Of the scholarships in So
cial service offered at Nashville by the
National League on Urban Conditions
Among Negroes. Upon graduation at
Fisk, she went to Houston to teach in
the public schools, but kept up her in
terest in social work aid developed
quite an interest in playground work
among the colored children Of that
city, supervising free playground al
most every summer and promoting
such work during the school year.
Her interest grew with this volunteer
work so that last summer she attended
the summer school Of the Chicago
School of Civics and Philanthropy, CIV
ing special attention to playground and
recreation work in order to better tit
herself for the service she was giving
to her home city. Her appointment as
the first colored worker under the mu-
nicipal social service bureau Of Hous-
ton, Tex, comes as result OF her
training and her promise for the fu-
ture.
DR.. Haynes has commended her zeal
for such work, and when the announce
ment of her appointment came said
that he regarded her selection as
bright promise Of social betterment
among colored people in the progress
sive southwestern metropolis, because
Miss Scott showed from the time OF
her undergraduate days up to the pres.
