ROBERT J. HALLE AND HIS FIGHT
FOR PERSONAL LIBERTY.

In all America there Is no man who
has made a harder or better fight for
the cause of personal liberty than
Robert ]. Halle in his bright and in.
fiuential newspaper the Champion of
Fair Play. His fight against prohibi.
ton and sumptuary intolerance has
been consistent. able and brave. At
the present time It looks as II the
cause were lost.
But the poets lines,
Freedoms battle once begun
Though often lost is ever won"
may inspire him with new hope.
The following cablegram to the
Chicago Daily News from its manag-
ing editor, Charles II. Dennis. pub.
lshed on January 2S, is significant
to say the least:
Paris, France, Jan. 2S.--People In
America are saying that when the
men OF the nations overseas army re-
turn to their homes and the activities
of civil life they will prove determining
factors in the great affairs of govern
ment and social progress. Since this
opinion is commonly held II should in
terest those at home to know that a
considerable feeling Of resentment
prevails In their army in Europe, be-
cause the question OF national prohibit
ton was raised and decided by consti.
tutional amendment during the abb
sense Of 100000 fighting Americans.
The feeling is due primarily not to
the decision itself, but to the fact that
II was reached after the men into
whose hands the country's affairs must
presently come, had been sent out of
the country to fight for its liberties,
Throughout the army the opinion is
expressed that some consideration for
the views of the absent would have
been entirely fitting,
present this striking fact merely
as an indication Of the general state
of mind OF the American army. There
is a settled determination on its part
TO be counted in the ranks of citizen
ship on every important question that
comes before the people. What this
determination forecasts It should not
be difficult for politicians to grasp.

HOW ABOUT liberty FUEL?"

Automobiles are in state of
mind over the conflicting stories cur
rent about the new Liberty fuel" of
the war department. According to the
fuel administration the mixture was
found to contain about Go per cent of
benzol. 1nasmuch as the supply of
bcnzol is limited the amount of Lib
erty fuel that could be produced would
be only about per cent of the pres
ent output of gasoline. Moreover, the
fuel when tested left gummy residue,
which would plug up carburetors, aud
revealed many other drawbacks.
On the other hand. the war depart.
ment says that the fuel administration
must have tested one of the 90 fake"
mixtures fixed up during the war to
fool German spies.
According to the war department,
the cost of manufacture Is 40 per cent
lower than that of making gasoline.
II Is described as scentless, tasteless,
and without Justification scent. Its

CAREY FOR SUBWAYS

Thomas Carey, Democratic candi.
date for Mayor, proposed to the City
Council that an ordinance be enacted
providing for the building OF thirty.
five miles OF city owned and operated
subways. He would use the city's
$25,000,000 traction fund.
Tn communication was referred to
the committee on local transportation.
Carey, in his letter, says the work
could be performed by city labor for
$1,OO0,OO0 per mile instead Of an esti-
mated 100000.
He estimates that the traction fund
will be increased sl0,OO0,000 within
the next mayoralty term, and with the
amount now in the fund sufficient
money would be available for con-
structing tubes extending out into the
three divisions of the city.
Cars for the subways would be
owned by the city and city employees
would operate them.

BLIND LEADING The BLIND

Sir Arthur Pearson Is now at the
head of st. Dunstan's Hostel for
Blinded Soldiers and Sailors In Re-
gents park, London. Six years ago
he was the proprietor of five big Eng
fish dallies and Il string Of magazines
throughout Great Britain. In the
prime Of life, he was advancing In
wealth and power when he mysteri-
ously lost his sight. Without warning,
this man of many activities was con-
demned by fate to spend the rest Of
his days In utter darkness. He sold
his papers to give him time to con-
centrate on great new ambition. He
would bring message to blind men
everywhere. lie would restore their
confidence.
Then he became president of the
National Institute for the Blind. Just
Il few months later the war broke out,
and Sir Arthur launched a plan for
the restoration to self-support of

January 2S, 1919.
To the Editor of the Chicago Eagle:
The women of Chicago are startled
by the small number of women who
are registered. According to the
last United States census there are
over 100000 women eligible to regis
ter in Chicago, and only 190,22S &C.
tually on the polling lists. This is
less than one-third.
Representatives of most of the larg-
est women's clubs In the city met In
the rooms of the Political Equality
League Monday afternoon to discuss
the situation. The consensus Of opin-
ion was that the reason for this small
registration was the fact that not suf-
ficient emphasis had been laid upon
the necessity of registering to make
the women realize its importance.
We therefore urge your paper to print
an article in regard to registration, or
II possible, to run in headlines the
following
Register, February 4th.
II you are not registered you may
not vote for mayor and alderman.
Do not be a citizen slaoker-Be a citi-
zen voter.
II you would prefer to run an article
on the Importance of registration we
will be glad to furnish II to you.
Thanking you for your cooperation,

l WITHOUT VISION A EPEOPLE MUST PERISH
By ROSA cLIsBY JOHN

<. 1t would be a difficult task to de- eide which of President Wilson's speeches was the greatest but his speech in New York on March 4 will go down in history as the very soul of the man. Every word was impregnated with the feelings of the world, its pulse beat in. unison with his own, and he stood before the vast throng of people as the great bulwark of strength this sick, broken-hearted world was lean- ing upon, looking to for healing. To my mind he seemed inspired and truly evinced a kinship with God.
 It is sad that America holds at this crucial hour a group of men whose only, thought is selfishness. to stand in the limelight, ever ready to stir up strife. If anything could puncture the barricade of their mentality it seems it would be the brave answer of President Wilson to their puny crit icisms. He stands as Gods prophet in his righteous indignation over their lack of comprehension of the /world's . needs. He spoke we'll when he replied to their criticisms: They do not make any impression on me because there is no medium that will transmit them" There he leaves them.
 It takes the melting pot to test the metal, and our great President has passed through it, and stands as pure gold.
 It is past belief that men could have lived through this war and not have been touched, their own souls washed and purified. the narrowness of self con- yefted forever into broad channels of thought for humanity.
 If we glance back at Americas great est statesmen, those of vision. which one stands as President Wilson's equal: Raino endowed hy God with A noble mind and heart. he is the greatest !. man America has produced. because his first and last thought is to help, to serve with these gifts all mankind, not alone with cold reason but tenn pered by mercy. that vision without which all peUple must perish.

The Inspiration of
 These Paris Copied Hats

It is not only the fact that the hats are new in shape and material, but the inspiration of this millinery sec ton is the unmistakeable air of high class professionalism" of the va rious types shown.
 That is because they came from the hands of milliners of experience, guided by designers who divide their time between Paris and New York. The season is developing many orig inal modes.
 Many new models in the new Italian and Swiss straws-some so intricate and fancy in design as to simulate handwork-are just coming into the showroom for tomorroy's customers. These hats are quite new note this season and should be seen promptly.

w. C. T. U. NOTES

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union has proven its worth and has
justified the daring faith and accura-
cy of vision of its founders.
The organization holds an unusual
place in the great system OF women's
organizations in this country. 1t has
brought together women from all cir
cles of life. Women of varying abili-
ties; women of all faiths and denomi-
nations. These women are united to
protect child life and home life and to
put the great force of Christian wo-
manhood back of all moral issues in
this country. '"-
At the great Jubilee meetings being
held over the ratification of prohibi-
ton. in almost every city and town in
the United States the one body receiv-
ing the most glowing tributes has been
the w. c. T. u, referred to by prohi-
bition workers as "our mother" in the
temperance work. No one susggests,
however that its work is over, but,
great stress is laid on the fact that
this organization has work to do that
neither could nor would be carried on
by any other body.
Had the W. c. T. U. only the one
objective, total abstinence and abolish
ment of the saloon, its work could not
vet be discontinued. The principles of
total abstinence must still be empha-
sized; special stress must still be laid
upon the teaching of all scientific
temperance in our schools; the foreign
born must have special attention that
they may have contentedness in Ma
tional Prohibition.
But our great leaders laid even
broader foundation than this Taking
unique motto, "For God and Home
and Native Land" and later enlarged
to "For God and Home and Every
Land" the w. C. T. U. early estab-
lished departments of work covering
edo everything" policy of its great
leader, Frances f. Willard, which
makes great responsibilities obliga-
tory in the protection of home and
country. Because of this the Jubilee
program plans are made.
Child Welfare
No other organization is termed
"Organized Mother Love" The moth
ers form the first line of defense for
the welfare of children. The W. C. T.
U. child welfare work will involve CO.
operation in the program given out
by the government with added moral
education and protection.
