Victory Liberty Loan Medals.

Columbia, May 22.-The Victory
Liberty Loan medals, to be present.
ed by the United States Treasury De-
partment to the leading workers IN
the recent drive, were received at
State headquarters this week and are
being sent to-day by Mrs. Frederick
IS. Munsell, State Chairman of the
Woman's Liberty Loan Committee,
to all county chairman for distribu-
ton. AS the number is limited the
medals are to be presented only to
those who may be cited for signal SER
vice.
The Victory medals were made
from captured German cannon and
bear this information on one side to-
gether with the inscription: "Pre-
sented by the U. S. Treasury Depart
ment to for patriotic SER
vice in behalf of the Liberty Loan" 7"
On the reverse side are the words;
"Victory Liberty Loan" and a pic
ture of the White House above the
American eagle.
1t is requested that everyone to
whom medal is awarded have his or
her name engraved on the space al
lowed for such inscription. The med
ais will, in time to come increase in
value and make permanent record of
individual distinction in the great
army of Liberty Loan volunteers who
have so valiantly served the Govern
ment.

lection is a libel on our American
manhood.
/ You may say that if women vote
they should fight. If no men were al
lowed to vote except those able
and willing to do military and police
duty, women might consistently be de
barred for that reason. But as long as
the old, the infrm, the halt, the lame
and the blind are freely admitted to
the ballot box, some other reason
must be found for excluding women
than the fact that they do not fight:
All men over forty-fve are exempt
from military service, yet they vote.
If women do not fight in time of war,
they help in other ways. What would
the Red Gross have amounted to IN
this worldwide war if it had not been
for the women? Who would have
nursed the wounded soldiers, and
who would have made the clothes for
all of the soldiers? Not only did they
do this, they bought War Savings
Stamps and Liberty Bonds to help IL
nance the government.
When war was declared one-half OF
the territory already had woman sut-
frage. Since we entered the war, the
largest state in population, New York
and the largest state in size, Texas,
have given the vote to their women.
Great Britain gave the vote to 6,00O,
900 women as a war measure. Den
mark, when threatened by war, gave
the vote to her women as measure
of national protection. Canada, in
May 1913, passed bill giving full
suffrage to her women. In France. the
Chamber of Deputies has announced
that the municipal vote will be given
to her women at once. Are you awake
to the fact that 100000 women
throughout the world have been en-
franchised in war time? Are you a.

community and with the daily comfort
Of our people. 1t is high time that
Chicago be given authority to meet
the modern situation.
Particularly ought Chicago to have
full control over its public utilities
gas, electric light, street and elevated
railways and telephones-if not under
federal regulation. In 1913 was in
the front ranks Of those who were
fighting for greater control over local
utilities in Chicago, but the people
were not fully aroused at that time
and such power as Chicago had was
weakened by the law then passed.
II am sure that every man or
woman who digs down for an extra
penny on the Il or puzzles over the
peculiar gas bills now knows what
home rule means and how important
II is to him or her personally. The
fact is that Chicago understands these
local questions better than the state
outside, and we would be better salts
fed with our own conclusions any
way.
Since the passage of the Mueller
law local control over utilities has
been understood by all sides in Chi
cago to include legal and financial
power to own and operate utilities II
and when the public desires to adopt
such a policy. The purpose Of giving
such authority is to place in the city's
hands the power to take whatever
course regarding public utilities the
people may deem expedient. There
has been no disagreement on this
point for many years. or course, con-
stitutional changes are necessary to
bring this about and should be So
cured.
Home rule Is now more important
than ever because the state constitu-
tional convention just approved by
the people will soon meet. In that
body the fate OF Chicago for the next
generation will be decided. II we fail
to obtain there the power we need,
then the door will be closed for prob
ably another fifty years. To a very
large extent the outcome will depend
on the next mayor Of Chicago. We
can count, am sure, on the generous
cooperation of Gov. Lowden in an
effort to help our city. II the mayor
commands the confidence of the peo-
pie of Chicago and OF the entire state
Of Illinois, 1t will be possible to obtain
what the city needs. II the mayor can
present the city's case clearly and
effectively, and II the state trusts him,
Chicago will obtain the measure of
local government to which we are en-.
titled. Our citizens should realize the
situation before the opportunity has
knocked and gone away.
"The same thing is true Of the legis-
lation which Chicago requires from
year to year. Chicago's ability to OBJ
tain favorable consideration for her
measures depends largely on the
mayor, who is properly regarded as
the spokesman of the community. II
he commands the respect and conf
dence of the state he will 60 far; but

MERRIAM'S PLATFORM

Charles 4. Merriam, candidate for
the Republican mayoralty nomination,
urges the necessity of Chicago elect
ing a mayor who can command the
confidence of both the city and the
state in order that the city's demand
fer home rule may receive just con.
sideration in the state constitutional
convention. Captain Merriam pointed
to his record as a city legislator as a
guaranty that he will be able to press
Chicago's claims with expectation Of
a friendly hearing. He issued a state.
ment setting forth in some detail his
views on the subject Of home rule.
"a necessary plank in a Chicago
platform is home rule in local affairs"
Capt. Merriam said. "Chicago's gov
eminent was made away back in 1870,
and since then there have been so
many changes in the world that the
old patched up plan is no longer ade.

1t were not so serious, that Chicago,
the fourth city in the world, should
be obliged to run down to the state
legislature for every little change In
its machinery or to get any additional
power necessary to keep up with the
times.
These Chicago requests not only
take up the time Of the legislature
unnecessarily, but the lack Of local
authority to deal with local affairs
interferes with the growth Of the city,
with the business development of the

adjusting the spine, which relieves
pressure on the nerves and allows

flow freely to and from the brain.
The cause OF disease, as the Chiro.
practor finds 1t, is a subluxation of one
or more Of the vertebrate which dee
crease the size of the opening through
which the spinal nerves pass, and
impinge or press them, hence shut of

organs or parts, and the result will be

A normal nerve supply to any organ
or part OF the human body generates
normal function and maintains health.

lease the pressure. the Chiropractor
uses and needs nothing but his hands.
The whole object of his work is com.
pleted when this pressure is removed.

daily adjustments are necessary for

The war was for Democracy, and
the basic principles of Democracy are
Equal Sacrifices and Equal Oppor-
tunities". Common justice, of which
this country boasts, is all that the
Negro seeks, all that he wants. 1t
seems, indeed, strange, that this
country petty prejudices and at
tempts to deny the Negro a chance
to be the same man in one way he
has proven himself to be in so many
others.
The shibboleth of the two great
Anglo-Saxon Democracies, British
fair play and Yankee gameness en-
bracing in their conciseness, all that
is high and noble in these two ma
tions, should be the guiding spirit in
dealing with the Negro. Of course
to at any time make any reference
to the Negroes color or racial char
arteristics, would be to interfere with
the plans of the Creator.
We hope the time will soon come

The Labor Status Of
The Negro

The employment of Negroes in
various capacities in the Stoc Yards
and Steel Mills in and around Chi
cago in the place of white labor and
to break strikes, seems to have caused
some agitation among the white pop
ulation. On each accession the Negro
has been sought for and eagerly used
until quiet is restored or shortage
made up, then the Negro is let out
gradually on the slightest provoca-
ton.
The present acute condition of the
labor market is the direct cause of
the present and acute condition of
the food market, both of which con-
ditions demand immediate attention,
from those in authority to remedy OF
alleviate such.
To bring about a condition of ease
and satisfaction in the Labor Market
would be big step toward adjust
ment, and it is such an adjustment
that the Negro is most concerned.
The Negro population represents a
component part of our vastly COM
plicated national structure, and is
imbued with the same high ideals rep
resented in our national spirit. That
there is none more loyal, patriotic
and self sacrificing has on many and
every possible occasion been proven
UNREASONABLE proof of his essential
citizenship has been proven time and
again.
France found the spirit that
prevades her people, as her standing
army of 100000 in pre-war days
will testify. The nowledge of all this
should provoke kindlier spirit in
the attitude of those who deal with
US. With the passing of the draft
law, the race has been called upon
to answer other calls and shoulder
responsibilities, all of which he
eagerly answered and served as loya
as when he served with the colors
The Negro was as anxious to work
in the different activities as he was
to carry the gun, and was as glad Of
the opportunity.
