"Nc Story" for
Sensation Hunters

Miss Rembaugh's campaign began
last week, in simple and matter of
fact way that was corroborative of
her reputation for judicial calm and
clarity. The reporter telephoned to
her office that there was mo story"
and then started out to campaign for
Miss Rembaugh among friends.

sitting. It Is not a reflection of the
ability Of men judges as a class to
handle women's cases. 1t Is merely
an appeal to sense of fair play.
When there are twenty-six judges in
district it seems only reasonable
that one Of the twenty-six should be
woman. Men judges with the best
intentions in the world might not be
able always to give to these ques-
tions concerning the home the same
interest and comprehension that a
woman could give. Put it the other
way. Would it seem reasonable to
have jury Of women, however
highly educated, preside over courts
In which the cases concerned high
finance and international law?"
Three Republicans and three
Democrats have been nominated for
the Office Of justice from the 1st
District OF these the three receiv-
ing the highest number Of votes will
be elected, without regard to party.

to notify the neighborhood when
ever there was suffrage meeting
on the corner. Miss Rembaugh, in
her little runabout, pulled up just
beyond the shadow Of the great
Washington Arch, with the full
moon lighting up her somewhat
stern face and her decidedly stern
clothes-she is the kind of woman
who always wears tweeds and a
black ribbon on her glasses. Yet it
was a comment on how the world
has grown tolerant that, instead of
objecting to her clothes as IMAM
nish," the crowd apparently liked
them.

A Stiff Fight

Miss Rembaugh Is the candidate
on the Republican ticket for Justice
Of the Municipal Court In the First
District Of Manhattan. This dis
trict includes Greenwich Village,
Washington Square, the Bowery,
Chinatown and Bowling Green. In
1t are found nearly every nationality

fortune and social favor. 1t must
be admitted that 1t Is Democratic

wasting they have promised her.

Between Gym
Classes


One day she was dancing; another
she was playing basketball, and
again she was giving a lecture on
hygiene when the reporter camped
on her trail, but finally ran her
down in an interval between one
kind of gym and another, when she
had to stop minute to change
shoes.
She is a young person who will
upset all the cartoonists' notions of
what female politician looks like.
Short, gray-eyed and slim, with
vigorous swing to her shoulders and
the quick, clear voice that goes with
refereeing basketball games, she
will be an Assemblyman to make
the solons at Albany blink with
establishment. If she organized a
basketball game between Senate and
House, or. took the whole Legisla-
ture off on Sundays on snowshoe
trips, it would not surprise me. And
it might do the legislators a world
Of good.
She thinks she has a good chance
Of winning, too. Although her dis
trict went Democratic last year, it
was Republican the year before
that. She has to contend with
rival within the party in the person
Of R. M. Bolden, a negro minister
representing the black belt of Har
lem, but since the primary election
she has won large following among
the negro women Of the Roosevelt
Republican League. Mrs. Pauline
Dempsey IS president Of this, the
most active organization Of colored
women in the city.

POWERFUL SERMON
DELIVERED AT high
SCHOOL LAST NIGHT
Darwin Theory Of Evolution Dealt
With by DR.. George W. Bunton In
Annual Sermon to High
School Graduates.

The Maysville High School audito-
rum was filled Sunday evening with
folks to hear the annual sermon to the
graduating class. The thirty-five grad
yates, clad in their caps and gowns,
occupied a reserved space directly In
front Of the platform while the Girls
Glee Club occupied reserved space
on the platform.
Rev. Worth s. Peters, pastor of the
Third Street M. E. Church, was chair
man of the service and beside Super
intendent w. j. Caplinger on the plat
form, DR.. ]. H. Samuel, President OF
the City Board of Education, occupied
an honored position.
The music led by the Glee Club was
beautiful and the special selection
rendered by the club brought many
compliments from the audience. DR..
J. ]. Dickey, Of the Second M. L.
Church, South, led the audience In the
opening prayer.
After few congratulatory remarks
to the members of the Senior class,
DR.. George w. Bunton, pastor OF Grace
M. e. Church, of Dayton, Ohio, deliv-
cred a very powerful sermon on the
subject: Born of a Monkey or Stand
ing on Your Feet" The Darwin theory
Of Evolution was handled with un-
eloved hands and the Survival OF the
Fittest was compared to the erst-while
German theory of might Makes
Right" After thoroughly establish
ing the fact that man decended fro
God and not from the Monkey, DR..
Bunton admonished his hearers to
stand upon their feet with their heads
erect. His conclusion was that If man
ia a defendant from God he should
then act like God.
II was a wonderful sermon enjoyed
by the graduates and the large au-
dience immensely.
