SPEAKER
MEMORIAL DAY
Late Major In L. $. Army Says IntOl-
erance Is Greatest Menace TO Amer
lean Liberties and COnstitution-De
fines Americanism.

Tolerance, fair mindedness and hon |
esty are needed more than anything
else to keep inviolate the first pre-
cepts of liberty and happiness so long
perpetuated iii the United States of
America, according to Major C. NJ.
Booth who delivered the Memorial Day
address at the Auditorium Theatre
Monday morning. Major Booth spoke
before an interested audience and de-
livered an unusually strong address,
judging from the comment of the hear
ers following the closing of the ser
vice.
Mr. Booth classified the Volstead
Act, the anti-cigarette laws, Sunday
closing and kindred restrictive meas
ures, as violation of human personal
| liberty that would soon cultivate a de-
structive force in the United States
that would threaten the very founda-
tion of our constitutional liberty. He
advised people to not misuse their
franchise to inflict unnecessary and
intolerant restrictions on the minor
ity. He cautioned minorities not to
effect narrow legislation and cram it
down the throats of the irresponsible
majority.
/ Bad For PlOw Boys.
/ why ii was just three yaers ago.
he said when all the good people OF
our land took up collection to buy
cigarettes for the boys over there.
Now we have a narrow minded legis-
lature passing an anti-cigarette bill tC
take it away. 1t was fine for the boys
fighting under the flag of their coun-
try, but bad for the boys following the
piow at home"
Major Booth said in effect that Amer
{ lea was not the indefinite emblem o
S principal that it seemed to be. WheI
= the foreigner comes to our shore h.
= Immediately inquiries as to what Amer
= lea is. Major Booth explained tha
America is the Man that shovels tn
. coal into the furnace that feeds tn
9 great boilers of industry in manufac
: turing centers, the engineer that open
J, the throttle along the steel highway
:, of the nation the farmers wife tina

DECLARESCARE
OUT OF FASHION
Ida NJ. TarbeII Says Recklessness
Is AS Popular AS Auto
mobiles

BOSTON, Sept, 29.-Care has be-
come out of fashion as much as a
bicycle, while recklessness is as pop
ular as an automobile, Ida NJ. Tar
bell of New York told the delegates
to the National Safety Council here
last night.
II am not here to talk about the
new area Of work which women in
the war added to that already held, "
Miss TarbeI said, but rather that
il consider the possibility of rallying
to the work of the council a great
body of women entirely outside of
industry Itself but responsive to ap-
peals for public service, and many
of them organized in such way as
to focus power and influence quick
ly on tasks which appeal to their
imaginations and to their hearts.
"The psychological effect of the
present indifference to safety in our
streets and on our highways cannot
be ignored by industry The wanton
rccklessness of the road dulls the at
tention and interest of the industrial
worker, puts premium on taking a
chance care becomes as out of
fashion as a observation-disclosures as
popular as an automobile. That is,
public safety is the direct concern
cf industrial safety. The latter cannot
accomplish it's ends as long as tho
mental attitude it needs for its work
is constantly weakened by Wanton
Indifference to the former,
''The woman power of the country
must be enlisted. ! do not know of a
finer job than to go after the wo-
men, particularly organized women.
81 understand the feeling of GER
tain women that woman in indus
try section is what you may call a
throw back, that women should be
taken into the safety council not as
women at all, but as industrial work
ers, regardless of sex. We have a
long way TO go socially, and indus
lrially in this world before women
will cease to be differenl lated from
men in all activities. Mother nature
will have to undo her work entirely
before there win be no special prob

Jury Trials For Term End-V.
H.. Gaines Acquitted Of
Pool Hall Charge

The criminal docket in the CITY
court is cleaner than it has been in
years, Solicitor Dan CnappcN an
neunced today, following the con,plo-
taon late Wednesday OF Jury bust
ness for the September term. Only
. about a dozen cases remain undis-
posed Of on the docket, he said, these
being Give" cases in which the at.
torneys for the defense were unable
to be in court, or which for some
good sufficient reason were continu-
ed. Every case in which the defense
was ready for trial was tried, he said,
or dismissed, the latter being the pro.
cedure in a number of old cases car
ried over from far distant previous
terms. in many of which convictions
would have been almost impossible be.
cause of the loss of witnesses.
The last case tried Wednesday was
that of V. H. Gaines, local pool hal
proprietor, indicted for misdemeano'
by the last grand jury for permit
ting a minor to frequent his place
the case having been transferred to
the City court. The minor in this
case was Roland Broadhurst, who
appeared to be more or less indlf-
ferent witness. The latter is Of ma
ture size and appearance, and the
defense presented witnesses to prove
that Mr.. Gaines had asked him on
different occasions before allowing
him in his place whether he was not
a minor, and each time had been as.
sured by the lad that he was q years
of age. R. S. Broadhurst. his fa'h-
er, testified the boy was a minor
and played without his consent. The
jury returned verdict Of acquittal
