Thompson w. C. T. U.

The W. c. T. U. of Thompson held it's annual Press meeting, at Kings Daughters hall, Thursday, April 21, with fair attendance. Mrs. Minnie Bixby, president, presided. Rev. j.. R. Miller offered the opening prayer, followed by the hymn, Brighten the Corner Where You Are"
 Reports of previous meeting, of Secretary, Mrs. Clara Miller, and treasurer, Mrs George Bixby, read and approved. Roll call. Offering, and unfinished business concluded, the meeting was turned over to the superintendent of press and evangel- istic work, who had arranged the fol- lowing program:
 Violin solo, by Miss Esther Rouse, the talented young violinist of Put nam, accompanied by Miss Fisher upon the organ.
 The superintendent gave a resume of past meetings, and spoke of the great work of the Press and the Pull pit, as the two great moulders of pub lie sentiment. In the early days, the influence of the pulpit predominated, newspapers were fewer and not so widely read. Today the printed page reaches more minds through the eye, than the pulpit can through the ear. The pulpit commands thousands, and

Causing many to hear Christ's teach
 ings
 In every land, on every shore. So I call on you, dear sisters all, Who live now, meath the sun, To give your heartfelt thanks and
 praise
 For the good the press has done.
 This was followed by another vio- lin solo.
 Mrs. Carleton then introduced Miss Rosamond Danielson of Putnam Heights, as the speaker of the after noon. Miss Danielson spoke at length upon the "Press," upon the newspa- pers of the day, explaining in a telling way why the front page of leading Republican paper, and the front page of leading Democratic paper, of the same date, should be unlike, etc. Of the effects of yellow literature upon the home; influences inspiring and de- pressing, refining and demoralizing. Miss Danielsons' address was a splen- did production and well deserves to be published in full. She was heart fly applauded.
 Mrs. Minnie Bixby, president, read interesting articles from the Union Signal and spoke of many important signs of the times. Rev. John Miller spoke earnestly upon the temperance question.
 The closing number was violin solo, a gem, which was applauded.
 "All round the world the ribbon white is turned" by all present, closed the meeting, with benediction of the order. Miss Danielson and Mrs. Carleton, hostesses, served refresh ments

the press hundreds of thousands.
 It is the increasing predominanee of this power of the press which caus- ed that unique humorist, Mir. Dooley, to say. "I care not who makes the laws or the money of a country, as long as I run the press" The W. C. IT. U. as an organization has not been slow to value the importance of the great power of the press, to give mo- mentum and power to our work, and it is true, our organization is the best advertised society in the world.
 The first scrubbed sheet. peddled through the streets of Rome, 2,500 wears ago, set the good influence to work, and today every man. woman and child feels it's force.
 It is great cause for congratula- tion and rejoicing that the W. C. T. U. is largely realizing the worlds greatest presses. that are always in motion, turning out literature, and news of the worlds outposts, and that it is good, pure and helpful We are thus exemplifying the words of Fran ces Willard, "So tell the worlds story today. that the world may be better tomorrow"
 Violin solo by Miss Esther Rouse, accompanied by Miss Fisher. Mrs. R. c. Paine sang the ever beautiful solo, "The City Four Square" and for an encore, ''The Four Leafed Clover" Clippings were read of an- cient writings and books, by Mrs. Geo. Law, Jr., Mrs. Hall, Mrs Peckhan, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Clara Mills and Miss Edythe Woodward.
 Mrs. Horetta Soper read an orig l inal poem on the "Press":
 Dear sisters, one and all
 I wish I could fitly express
 The good that's been done in the
 world
 By means of the printing press. We read our daily papers
 And think not much about it.
 What would we think, think you, Had we to go without it?
 A wonderful thing, is the press, Its objects are to enlighten
 To emit the light of knowledge
 And paths of mankind brighten. We realize not it's influence;
 Much good, and bad, are in its might. But no doubt, it's trend is upward, Leading ever to the light.
 It has helped the cause of temper

 Gain strength to win the fight, And we're sure 1t will for'er proclaim The way of Prohibition is right. The word of God has been pristed Thousands of copies o'er and OCT,

IDEAL EDUCATION IN PUTNAM
Secretary Davis Says Troubles End
 With High-Trade School Learning

It is interesting to note that Put nam has an ideal condition in educa- tional advantages, for so it would seem according to MT. Davis, Secre- tary of Labor, who has given his views on the educational question as fol- lows:
 If we can give every child in America at least high school educa- ton and a trade our troubles will be over. For with the trade he'll have something do, and with the education he can reason out the problems of his life, as well as be ready for the chance to rise above his trade if he is men tally capable of something higher.
 "I know that if man does not get fair wages and works too long hours he's not going to become good citi- zen.
 Decent wages, decent hours, make good citizenship. That's my slogan. To realize them for myself and oth- ers-that's been my life"
 The cooperative course which is of- fered by the Trade and High schools gives the student just this kind of ed- ucation.--a trade and a high school education in four years, the arrange ment being that the student shall spend one-haf day at the high school and one-half day at the trade school.
 It would seem that special empha- sis should be laid on education of this kind for the youth of our community.

Harding Plans to Take Up, Re-
publican Patronage
Next Week.

Republican patronage for the
District of Columbia will receive
some consideration by President
Harding next week, as he is being
besieged by the various factions
and interests for recognition and
is anxious to promote harmony by
settling vexatious disputes as soon
as possible.
DISPUTES COLLADAY.
Edward r. Colladay. member Of the
Republican Committee from the Dis
trict, believes that he will command
the situation, but this is not taken
for granted by that faction of the
party personified by Robert l. Miller.
1.-THE original Harding man."
Both Colladay and Miller are being
urged by their respective friends for
the office Of United States attorney. to
succeed John T.. Laskey, who is anxi-
GUS to relinquish office just as soon
as his successor can be picked COL
laday, however has decided not to be
a candidate.
Miller says he is not an active can
didate for the District Attorneys s
office, but IL Is believed that he has
in mind a man for the place. Miller
The Washington times., 1921-03-18

has been asked to the White House
for a conference with President Hard
ing on Monday and IL is believed some
announcement will follow bis visit.
Colladay aud w. T. Galliher. chair
man OF the Republican State commit
tee, will call at the White House,
tomorrow afternoon to pay their re-
spects to the President. They dis
avow any political Significance to the
call, saying they intend to make simi-
lar visits to the various departmental
heads ~
In addition to the mention OF Col
laday and Miller. who have said
they were not candidates, there are
half a dozen candidates for the place.
all representing different groups Of
Republicans.
M. Proctor, and Peyton Gordon. for
mer Assistant District Attorneys. are
the most prominently mentioned.
Hawken distinguished himself as a
prosecutor while in office and OBJ
tanned nearly 200 consecutive con-
victions in the criminal courts in
noted cases.
Gordon has been an rrsistant to the
Attorney General, and curing the war
was a commissioned officer in the
judge advocate generals office and
did overseas duty. Proctor also did
overseas duty. Graduating from the
Officers Training School at Fort
Myer.s he was commissioned in the
line and was wounded in action in
France.
Mason Richardson, United States
commissioner, and Tracy l.. Jeffords
are also prominently mentioned.
In the matter of United States Mar
shal for the District of Columbia
three men arc in the spotlight as pos
sibilities: John w. Fenton,) jr.. who
was mentioned for District Commits
sioner but declined; Ralph w. Lee. q
local insurance man, prominent in
fraternal circles: and Edgar e. Snyder.
a newspaper man. 1t il believed the
race will narrow down to Fent6n and
Lee and that Snyder will be offered
the postmastership of Washington.
Friends of Merritt o. Chance are
endeavoring to persuade the Admin
istration to let sim remain until MS
term expires in February. 1924. put
ting forth as an argument that he
has had an excellent administration
and has improved the postal facin-
ties. Chance is regarded as a Re-
publican. but has not been actively
in politics for many years. he
formerly was chief clerk of the
Postoffice Department.
For the office of recorder of deeds.
which Is considered a sort of a. sine
cure, there are several appD ca n ts.
Mrs. w. ID. Campbell. widow Of former
Congressman Campbell of New York
has strong backing in Congressional
circles for the place, and she is being
put forth as a sort of sop 10 the
feminine voters for failing to nomi-
nate a woman for District Commits
sioner to succeed Miss Mabel Board
man.
1t is also contended that the Re-
publicans return to normalcy- again
in the matter of appointment to this
office, and that the President appoint
a colored man to the place. John F.
Costello, Democratic national commit
teeman from the District now holds
the place. There are half a dozen
colored candidates for the office,
which was held for many years prior
to Costello's appointment by Henry
Lincoln ohnson, OF Georgia, a colored
man.
