Three Days Left To
Complete Local Fund

II the quota of $500 is. to be raised
in the city of Grand Forks for the
seven union Christian! colleges in the
Orient, 5000 must De collected by the
end of the present week, which means
that only three days remain in which
to raise the required amount, accord-
ing to the local committee. The
women are using every available,
means Of collecting this fund, and
they are making one last appeal to the
public to assist theEl in this move
ment. Five OF the seven ,taperS have
been lighted. and it is the sincere hope
of those WING are familiar with the
greatness of the cause that the full
quota be completed by Saturday. Ac-
cording to stipulation, all money must
be in the hands of the joint committee
n Boston, Mass. not, later than De-
cember 81.
A significant incident is recounted
concerning a ,woman's Christian col
lege in Japan which indicates the good
results that have been obtained
through the establishment of colleges
similar to those contemplated. "a
QUESTIONABLE was prepared and sent
out to a number of Japanese girls in
the college referred to, and more than
200 replies were received.
The first question was: What are
some Of the thingS fundamentally
wrong in society w2aes8eh you hope to
make right?" Twenty-nine girls m
phasized the lack of. general moral
ideals" twenty-five declared trnat
people must be true and righteous.
must put aside lying. vanity, and
hypocrisy" Seventeen discussed bad
conditions for children, birth of illegi-
love in many homes. Forty-seven de-
clared prostitution and, the geisha
system to be the wrong they hope to
make right. Here are their W
+? words: Men corrupt their own per-
! sonalities with. lies land deceit, and
think it is all right to make plans
which include lies. If people were
purified Of deceit there would be no
war; Men and women must have
be no double Standard" The system
OF geisha is the shame Of our nation,
and must be stopped" when
fathers drink, the children are handl-
capped-sometimes sickly, sometimes
weak-minded. Inheritance extends to
generations" ~: a. &
The question. What point in ia
panese home life do. you consider as
most needing to be changed? How
would you change it?" brought a
spontaneous outburst of feeling, as
we'll as thoughtful analysis of the
Lproblem. Forty-three girls say
| Homes must be made democratic.
The position and rights Of women
must be equal with those of men,
Twenty-seven say, Fathers are toe
proud and selfish. They should not
have SO many special rights. Their
thinking must be reconstructed
Twenty-Five girls speak of the need
Of true friendship, love and under.
standing in. the home. They say
The japanese home is a place where
>many are living together, but there is

Statement From,
Mayor w. A. Beach
His Honor Claims Street Car
COMPANY Is Trying To
Force Council.

Mayor W. A. Beach. in state
ment to The Free Press today,
said:
The present street car problem
about which there seems to be so
much controversy is very simple
when looked at from the view of
the facts as they are presented. At
the present time the city of Man
kato has contract entered into
with the street car company that
in consideration of the exclusive
right to use the street and alleys
for street car purposes the street
car company agrees to have it's
right of way and keepSit in repair.
"At this time the city of Mankato
is asked to relieve the company of
this obligation. If this Is done by
the City of Mankato then this bur-
den should be assumed by the city.
What right has the city to annul the
contract and vote the burden upon
the property owners, whose Io-
perty adjoins'the tracks? The conn
Gil proposed to submit the question
of relieving the street car company
and the city assuming the burden
to the voters of Mankato, but s. B.
Wilson on behalf of the street car
company in his letter refuses to
accept this proposition and tells us
we must have permission of the
street car company before they
will allow the council to act"

airy gems. - e. -.
