WOMAN URGES
COMPENSATION
FOR CHILDBIRTH
Female Congressional Aspir-
ant In Md. Backs Mothers
Allowance Law.
BY Universal Service.


Should mothers be compensated
for bringing children into the world?
Mrs. Virginia Peters Parkhurst,
Maryland's first woman aspirant
for a seat in Congress. thinks so.
And she feels so strongly on the
point that she has made 1t the prin-
cipal plank Of her platform in
which she advocates numerous
startling deforms.
She is a Democrat by ancestry"
The family Is one of the Oldest In
Maryland, and has always been of
this persuasion. She makes no at
tempt to conceal her age and In her
public statements says she was born
May l, 1882.
ITO the Manor Born"
She Is to the manor born, but
financial reverses shortly after mar
riage compelled her to work for a
living. She saw great possibilities
in chewing gum. Throughout the
countryside near Washington she in
stalled penny slot machines filled
with balls of colored chicle. Each
day she took her young son with her
for a round up of pennies and to put
in a fresh supply.
In spite of the sons prodigous
propensities for chewing up profits
she built the business up to where
It nets her something like $4,000
per annum. And although she has
been compelled to travel long dis.
tance over country roads each day.
first with hoi Sc and buggy and later
with an automobile, she found time
to dabble in politics.
Her home Is at Berwyn, Nd, with

Just as soon as I am in Congress-.

Is Greatest Contribution.
"a woman can make no greater
to her country than the
bearing of children and both the
Government and the employer should
be anxious to fairly compensate her
for this glorious service"
Mrs. Parkhurst's platform faily
bristles with reform.
She is against Corruption. greed
and wrongs in a fight for right
thinking, for justice and the rights
Of humanity"
She strongly favors an habitual
criminal act as a means Of curbing
law violations.
She claims that 1t is absurd to
continue to release a criminally in
clined person under bond, giving
him ample opportunity to again
break the law.
"A case in point is the bootleg

Broadway Evangel Fails
To Reach Enright's Ear
Capt. Crawford Rebuffed When
She Visits Headquarters 70
Plead for Rallies

Captain Eheba Crawfcrd's visit to
Commissioner Enright yesterday morn
ing to discuss the ban on her Saliva
ton Army meetings on the steps of
the Gaiety Theater and elsewhere in
the White Light district ended In tho
outer ofiice when a secretary referred
her TO Inspector Bolan
Later in the day she wrote TO the
Commissioners requesting an interview,
but up to last night she had received
no intinaaticn that this communication
had had any more success In getting
into the inner sanctum than she her
self had had. The ban on religious
meetings along Broadway remained un-
changed, and she had heard nothing
about being allowed to present her
case to Mr.. Engight.
Despite the double rebuff Captain
Crawford remained convinced that a
mistake had been made and that she
could easily straighten out her diff
cuities If she could get in touch with
the Commissioner himself. She re-
pudiated the sugge stion that her atti-
tude was militant ana saiG that in her
letter she had not complained of her
arrest Sunday night
Meanwhile she completed arrange
ments with the radio show which is
to be held in Madison Square Garden
during the week of November 20 to
broadcast her sermons, and Brigadier
c. b. Campbell, director of the Saliva
tion Army's activities here, announced
that street meetings will continue as

New-York tribune., 1922-10-18
Butler Calls ON
Parties to Merge
Against Radicals
tcsntiaued from page one,

jority of Republicans and the over
whelming majority of Democrats, who
are in substantial agreement on all
fundamentals, should speedily find
ways to take such steps as may be
necessary to form Democrat Repub-
iican party"
DR.. Butler said that a division of
the political forces upon such grounds
would enable the voters to choose,
without being misled by false symbols
and meaningless traditions, whether
they preferred to throw their influence
with the progressive liberal group or
with the radical group.
he declared that it was time also
for the American people to move to-
ward higher ground in international
relations. Settlements of the Yer
sailles Treaty needed reconsideration,
he said, suggesting that to prom
the purpose Of the League of Nations
a new agreement for the administra-
tion and enforcement of the principles
of international law should be reached.
The speaker suggested division Of
the world into three administrative
parts OF Asia Immediately adjoining
Europe and Africa, or which have for
long time past been directly depen-
dent upon Europe; second, the Ameri-
can continents, and third, the Orient,
including Japan, China and Siam. The
effect, Dr. Butler submitted, would be
a Monroe Doctrine for each area.
The American people, DR.. Butler said,
have sunk back from the lofty pur-
poses and the appalling sacrifices of
war "into an almost unexampled lassi-
tude, indifference and unconcern for
the highest things in the nations life.
"Men in high and responsible place
whisper it to each other the educator
said, "but hesitate to face the criticism
and antagonism that any call to con-
structive progress would be certain to
call forth"
President Butler said that there has
grown up a passion for conformity
with its necessarily resultant medi-
ocrity. He told of remark made to
him by Lord Northcliffe shortly before
the British publishers death in which
the latter said that while there is no
finer type of modern man than the
we'll bred, we'll educated American, yet
most Of your people are as uninterest-
ing and as politically sluggish as the
Chinese"
