GERMANY HATES EEmlnism

Inere Is some interest, If not eoual
Importance, in the fact that America
reputed throughout the world as the
land Of feminism, the land of priv
heged womanhood, is at war with the
country in which the claims of fem
inlsm are most universally and vio-
lently detested and the claims of mas
cuiinism most loudly asserted and gen.
efssly accepted. Herr voechting
wrote book few years ago on
The American Cult of Woman" in
which he congratulated his own Ger
many on being safe from the danger
that was engulfing the United States
In ruin and degradation. If we ac-
knowledge the awful impeachment
brought against us out of the logic Of
kultur, what shall we say on our part
OF that masculinism which expresses
itself among the men of Germany In
Mortified, cruel and angry outcry
against the ''treachery" and "un-
WortnineSS" OF German women in per-
foryaing little acts of kindness and hui
mainly for the prisoners within the
yates? So dominant is this mascuIin-
ism in the kaiser's empire that wom-
en- themselves are among its stanch-
est adherents, says Philadelphia Bull
letin. NJ 0 her land could ever make
creed T subjecting to constant in
suit and cruelty the helpless and the
wounded. The masculinism of Amer
lea is of'a different sort, despite the
gloating assertion of Herr voechting
that we have sunk too low to lay claim
to anything of such title. We pre-
fer our own variety.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, VOTERS
APPROVE DRY LAWS
Vets Submit Two Restrictive Ordi-
nances and Voters Endorse Both

Franklin county, Ohio, the county
in which is located Columbus, in
creased its dry lead from 2,100 a year
ago to $500 this year.
This increased dry sentiment is
further demonstrated in the vote on
two referendums brought in Columbus
by the vets. Some time ago the Co.
lumbus city council adopted two Or
dinances. One provides for opening
saloons at a. m. and closing at 10 p.
h., cutting off three hours, as these
places have been opening at 5 a, m.
and closing at midnight. The other
ordinance is aimed at the cabarets and
prohibits the employment of women
in places where liquor is sold. The
vets brought a referendum on both
these ordinances and the voters passed
on them in the election last week and
approved both. The women had a
vote on these ordinances and helped
to swell the big majority against the
booze dealers.

the nuisance of disorderly houses
which the League says are running
rampant in the city.
The League emphatically states that
the law under which these places may
be abated is still in effect in spite of
the contention of a former prosecu-
tor, who declared that the supreme
court had pulled the teeth of the law.
This decision referred to by the pros
eeutor, according to the League,
doesn't make the law any less effec-
tive, but leaves the resort operators
in exactly the same position they oc-
cupied before the court made the rul-
ing. 1t protects property owners
against the penalties of the abatement
act unless it can be shown that they
possess guilty knowledge that the
houses owned by them and leased by
others were being operated as vice
resorts.
The Law and Order League, in the
appeal to the grand jury, states that a
month ago the League discovered that
during the last three years there had
been 231 convictions in the municipal
court for running disorderly houses,
and that these houses are also invar-
iably blind pigs where liquor is given
away and sold.
Complaint is made that the League
has been unable to get action through
the grand jury and urges that some
thing be done to remedy the condition
and asks that thorough investigation
be made in order that criminals may
be made to come to justice and crime
abated.
