With a fine show of conscious recti- tude the women of the national asso- ciation opposed to woman's suffrage, have challenged their sisters who de- sire the ballot to explain what they are pleased to term, "the following phenomena": "The ordinary forms of dancing have become so degraded that fre- quently, when they are practiced in public, the police take the place of chaperons. "Women, misled by the present bac- chanalla of fashion, are arrested and haled into court because of their in- decent dresB. v "Magazines print material so sala- cious that they escape only by a hair's breadth being barred from the United Btates mails. "Theatrical managers produce plays depicting bouses Into which neither .decent women nor self-respecting men â-  would ever go. "The suffragists say that vice Is everywhere, and, in their pursuit of it, they merely emphasize its kingly and tremendous power. | "The most stunning menace to the |f morals and manners of today Is con- tained in this astounding habit of women in actually trying to convince all classes that vice *s predominant" Suffragists will not have to go far for answers to the charges brought against them. Sorely It is an ad- vance that the police Is moved to act in the capacity of chaperons. It bears evidence of woman's Influence in the public morals. It can be nothing but a gain that women are "arrested and haled into the court for indecent dress," if they so far forget their womanhood as to vail forth that action. Perhaps, when the hand of women is more potent in municipal government, such punish- • 'fe. ment may be so sure to follow. ton- fe proper dress on the street as to bring j^g,^; about a greater regard for decency of ^p^appareL |f| The fact that women have been shaken out of their complacency and become so aware of the extent of vice of every sort as to set in pursuit of it, even though they do thereby "magnify its kingly and tremendous power,"" gives greater promise of its control and extermination so far as is pos- sible than the world has ever known before. * * * "WHAT BRANDr Because Taut News has some read- er* who are not also readers of Col tier's we reprint the following edi- torial from that magazine which is published in its latest issue, under the caption.

It may be borrowing trouble to fear the visit of tf»- Emmjxinb Pank- BimsT to Chicago <>r Evanston. That erratic lady hw n°t yet embarked bound for our *hores. Arriving here, she may not be admitted to the coun- try. Certain it Is, she can do no harm except she tie supported and en- couraged by the women of our own land. It is not what she has to say that makes the great majority of Americans look upon Mrs, Pankhtjbst as an un- desirable acquisition, even for a short time. It Is the attitude that our own suffragists may assume toward her, and the effect that any Ill-advised be- havior may have upon the men in whose hands rests the power to with- hold from the viotaen of other states, those "rights" which the women of Il- linois have so recently received. This Is an exceedingly critical period In the campaign for the ballot for women. The greatest caution should be exercised In every official step taken. Especially in the matter of Mrs. Pankhtirst's promised visits ia it desirable that coolness and good Judgment be prominent features of the course which the women of the land pursue toward her. In addition to the gravity of the situation as it affects the cause of uni- versal suffrage in the United States, there should be a realization on the part of our women, present voters or those whose hope lies in the future, of their duty to show to this English suffragist, the greater dignity and ef- fectiveness of a campaign conducted quietly and without the sacrifice of womanly qualities by its advocates. JK as * TEAM WORK. The plan to combine the efforts of the Equal Suffrage association and the Civic club in Glencoe appears to be a step in the right direction. But it is likely to be the case in progress in that quarter, there are opponents to the suggestion of team work on the part of the two organizations. When the object of the women of the Equal Suffrage association is Iden- tical with that of the men in the Civic club, the argument Is all on the side of working together to accom- plish the aim of lothâ€"a better and more beautiful Glescoe. The members of the men's organiza- tion could be a very great assistance to the women because of their greater experience and better knowledge of how municipal affair* have been eon- ducted In the past. On the other hand, the women of the Equal Suffrage asso- ciation, by their indefatigable devo- tion to a cause which has enlisted their support, by the enthusiasm which they will bring to the work of improving Glencoe, could be of very material aid to the Civic club. Effective team work on the part of the two bodies of Qlencoe's citizens, should, and doubtless will, soon be manifest in its effect on civic condi- tions there. Judge Mahoney'b sunrise court on Sunday requires a degree of devotion to his erring fellow man surpassing that of the folk who are accustomed to gather at the dawn o{ Easter morning for a sunrise prayer meeting. As an introduction to many of the good works of the Master we are told that "He arose early on the Sabbath day," a preliminary to a day of serv- ice to humanity. The Sunday court of Judge Mahoioet, bean therefore, at least, one of the earmarks of unselflisn 6REAT LAKE CONTEST UNDER Though the Contest Is but Nine Days Old a Great Number of Contestants Have Entered tor the Fine Prizes. RACE WILL BE HARD FOUGHT FROM NOW ON They're off. The race Is on. Never before in this part of the state has a contest of any kind aroused the intense interest of the en- tire populace as it seems that The Daily News-Lake Shore News big event has done even in the short time that it has been running. Just nine days old and it presents a bunch of candidates such as were never before entered in a contest. Every contestant in the list is a lady or gentleman, in the highest sense of the word, and the management will bo glad indeed to make its generous distribution among such prominent citizens. A Great Start. But such a start as it is! Given a bonus of 10,000 votes to start with, nearly every candidate has added to bis or her standing materially in the last few days, and from the official count last night it seems that each candidate is about equally supplied in the number of friends that are hack- ing them. The start is indeed a fair one. The difference between the highest and the lowest in the entire list is consider- ably less than the number of votes equivalent to a few year's subscrip- tion. All have practically an even chance at the coveted honors. The candidates are so closely bunched that a subscription or two would change the entire line-up. Of course it is not to be supposed that the whole list of candidates will remain in the race. The big automo- bile offer seems to have attracted dozens of readers, but in a few days the list will dwindle down to only the live ones, the real hustlers. This gi- gantic event Is no place for dead ones and it would not be fair to the hus- tlers to keep a big bunch of stand-in- the-ways in the list. The More the Merrier. However, remember that the greater the number of contestants there are entered the fewer votes it will require to win the big prizes. There will only be so many votes gotten during the contest and the more candidates there are, the fewer votes each will have. The management feels highly hon- ored In presenting the list of candi- dates that it does, however. MoBt of those who have been entered by their admiring friends are prominent in their community, and it simply means thiB, that the ones possessed with the greatest amount of energy and ambi- perfonnance of a seJUmpoaed duty. * * * The tragedy of the "tank serap" at Purdue university ia fMcn ons stu- dent lost bis life and twenty-are are reported injured should ha a warning to other edncatlonal initituttons to dis- couraga alt elass coats** which are of such a nature as to threat an injury to the participants.

It will surely be an honor long to be re- membered to be a winner among citi- zens of such standing and promi- nence. • When it Is taken into consideration that the capital prizes are two real big powerful speedy automobiles, it is not strange that such a wonderful In- terest has been taken in the event already.
