GIRLS ARE NOT SAFE IN THE
CITY’S PUBLIC STREETS.
I T has been known foi* a long ttnie in
Georgia that young white, girls are
not safe on the country roads and
rural byways, but the brutal murder of
that fourteen-year-old girl in the very
heart of the city of Atlanta convinces
u:; that no young girl is safe on the
open streets of our towns and cities
when unattended.
The particulars of Mary Phagan’s
murder have been extravagantly ex
ploited in the various newspapers of
the state, and up to the time of this
writing the murderer and rapist has not
been exposed. Perhaps he never will
be, because hiding places are so many
anti, vice so well entrenched and so de
fiant in large cities.
It is the lesson which Mary’s murder
teaches that I purpose to write about,
and the need of the lesson is so ap
parent that I am sure I have only to
name it to obtain the public’s ap
proval.
The young girls of any large town or
city should be indoors when dark
comes, and there should be sufficient
legislation .to /compel all youths of
both sexes to go home, after sundown,
under the dread of pains and penalties
of the law. We house our valuable cat
tle and lock them in safe places when
night comes, and surely there is enough
invested In human flesh and blood to
insure that ’much caution for the chil
dren.
No girl child ite safe after dark, when
lust and liquor have* the right of way,
even in houses where a procuress can
enter, and certainly she should be led,
to her home by the police when she is
caught wandering ^alone in a. town or
city, and there should be a legal en
forcement of what is known as the
“curfew law” in certain states, and that
“curfew' law” should be enacted in every
large town or city, not only to save the
youths of the city from violence and de
basement, but to abate the hordes of
lascivious men who seek whom they
may devour, and are willing to spend,
money to secure fresh women and girls
who can be decoyed into a life of sin to
gratify‘their own illicit-desires. With
popular soft drinks at every street cor
ner. it is the easiest thing in the world
to dope such drinks until the dazed vic
tim can be led to her ruin—even in
broad daylight—but the celerity of such
destruction after dark is too evident to
call for further explanation.
Some have said to me, “What are
mothers thinking about that they do
not forbid their young daughters from
going on the streets after dark?”
In this age of irreverence and undu-
tifulnesb 'the youths of our land who
“take the bit in their own teeth” and go
their own fast pace are in a majority.
Pass a general “curfew law” and any
boy or girl who is on the streets alone
after dark should be led home by the
authorities and a tine placed on the
parents who are indifferent to their
absence, or who send them abroad.
We are* educating the youth of the
land in books by taxation as a pre
ventive to crime. Why not apply some
tax money to saving the lives and virtue
of those who are being thus educated?

SHALL WOMEN PRAY IN PUBLIC?
A subscriber of The Semi-Weekly Journal
down in Alabama desires to know if it is
proper for women to pray in public.
She finds some objectors in her neighbor
hood and seh asks for my views on the sub-
ject. She belongs to a prayer circle, where
the friends meet at different houses, and the
women have been praying when called upon.
But there are persons who seriously object
to* hearing a woman pray where men are pres
ent, and ^Jhe desires my opinion.
1 aiu not sure that I shall please anybody
but myself in what 1 am going to say, be
cause I think there is entirely too much flip
pant praying—no matter who does it. It is
a very serious thing to get on one’s knees
even at our bedsides and ask for an interview
with the Maker of heaven and earth. There
should be a great need* felt, an imperative
necessity, or the petition will be too flimsy
to be listened to.
And a person who presumes to pray for
a congregation ought to prepare for it, get a
train of thought ready which will move the
hearers to profound amens! You have listened
to petitions I know that might have been
copied out of a book, they were so lifeless
and formal. They evidently were set up for
the hearers in the pews, rather than the Fa
ther above. Prayers in public should be made
by consecrated persons and not as lip serv
ice.
If the woman is asked to pray, why shouldn t
she do so? If she feels a movement in her
heart to cry aloud to her Maker, and has the
burden of souls on her mind, why not?
If the house was on fire she would be
expected to sound an alarm, and the world
is as full of sin and wickedness as of fire.
Now, who would gag her mouth, in either
case, wh e h tl* e danger was upon her?
I have always thought that a good man
might be as good as his good mother, but
never thought he was any better.
And I have always felt that a good mother’s
prayers might ascend to heaven. Haven’t you?
And if the Lord bends a willing ear to tlie
sincere mother’s prayer, why may we not have
these clean-handed, pure-hearted women to cal!
on the name of the Lord?
We strain at gnats and swallow famels. If
a woman can speak in a missionary meeting,
can’t she pray as well?
It makes me tired to hear people placing
limits and bounds upon this great privilege <>*
worshiping God, out of pure minds and hearts.
If the world is never worse hurt than by a
good woman’s petitions at a throne of heav
enly grace, the millennium is surely near to
this old .planet.

POSTOFFICE INSPECTORS
Postmaster General “Fires”
One Inspector and Scores of
Others Are in Line
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, May 5.—The activity
anrl usefulness, or. rather, uselessness,
of many postoffice inspectors has chal
lenged the attention of Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson, with the result that al
ready official heads have begun to fall,
ff. J. Lamonr, of Michigan, was the
first postoffice inspector to be lired by
the department. He was removed a day
o*r two ago. Others are expected to
share Lamour’s fate.
Lamour, it is explained, walked the
planked “for the good-of the service.”
An .investigation has disclosed that
out of the 380 postofficie inspectors em
ployed under the Hitchcock regime only
38 were Democrats, yet politics was
supposed not to play any paj’t in the
appointment of inspectors. The post-
office department, of course takes no
official cognizance of the poltical affilia
tions of its employes, hut the disparity
between Republicans and Democrats in
this particular branch of the service
could not escape notice.
Democrats in congress are pleased
with what they believe a determination
by the postoffice department to relieve
several score or possibly two or three
hundred of the Republican postoffice
inspectors. They are confident that
very little investigation will be required
to satisfy the department that many of
the inspectors have been guilty of fla
grant abuses of their power and privi
leges.

IN PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 6.—The subject
of pensions for indigent widows is being
considered today by the local Associ
ated Charities as the result of the in
terest taken by Mrs. Wilson, wife of tne

Woman Is As Old As

No woman wants to look old. Many in their effort to look
youthful resort to t he“beauty doctor’s” prescriptions.Their m is-
take is that they visit the wrong department in the drug: store.
Beauty depends upon health. '
Worry, sleepless nights, headaches, pains, disorders, irregu
larities and weaknesses of a distinctly feminine character in a
short time bring the dull eye, the “crow’s feet,” the haggard
look, drooping shoulders, and the faltering step.
To retain the appearance of youth you must retain health.
Instead of lotions, powders and paints, ask your druggist for

SUFFRAGETTE PAGEANT
STIRS NEW YORK CITY
20,000 in Line of March as
Parade Passes Up Fifth
Avenue Saturday
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, May 5.—The woman suf
frage army marched up Fifth avenue
this afternoon. 20,000 strong, to the mar
tial music of the Marseillaise, blared
from forty bands. In uniforms of wiiite,
gleaming with yellow streamers they pa
raded in the heat of a midsummer sun
for three miles from Washington square
to Fifty-ninth street. A forest of yellow
banners appealed for “votes for women”
to an unbroken wall of spectators esti
mated at a quarter of a million.
Inez Milholland, riding astride a met
tlesome chestnut cob, directly behind an
escort of monunted police led the
marchers. v
Behind her walked eight girls* in blue
with silken flags; after them came two
women in yellow With the suffrage map
and its nine “yellow” states. And then
came the long line of the rank and file,
marching resolutely, unsmilingly, “for
the cause.”
NEGROES IN LINE.
Women with snow white hair, children
not yet out of rompers; girls from Swe
den, women from New Zealand; negroes
from the northern states, cow girls from
Oklahoma; newsboys from the east
side, Wall street brokers, these and the
artisans of many tra’des and callings
marched in unbroken lines, eight abreast,
disbanding finally at the Fifty-ninth
street plaza to overflow into two great
mass meetings.
The women’s political union, thou
sands strong and broken into many de
tachments, was in the forefront of the
line. Their banners bore many mottoes.
Some of them were:
“More ballots; less bullets,” “One sex
bears arms; the othe,r soldiers,” “Peace
and persuasion,” “getting there after
fighting forty years,” “Pioneers against
the white slave traffic,” “Let the people
rule; women are people.”
Throughout the line there was borne
aloft on banners the roll of wome^ who
have achieved great things.
“General” Rosalie Jones and her
little band of pilgrims that blazed the
suffrage way from New York to
Washington were, too, clad in'their
marching togs and heraldejl by a brass
t*and of boy scouts.
" Then followed teachers, students,
sculptors, decorators, social workers
and musicians. When the latter came
abreast the reviewing stand they
wheeled, a dark haired girl of sixteen
stepped from their ranks and blew oil
bugle a bar of stirring music. Stopped
by the maneuver the line behind mark
ed time while the little group sang the
Marseillaise amid a thunder of ap
plause.
Bookkeepers, stenographers, milli
ners, dressmakers and white goods
workers—bearing their motto:
STRENGTH IN UNION.
“In union there is strength” came
next. Then followed the army uf the
Political Equality association, a ’thou
sand white clad women. The New
York State Suffrage association with
its banner ^’Victory In 1913.” The New
Jersey association “Victory in 1914.”
Greek, Jewish, Italin and Syrian so
cieties fur suffrage came next.
Toward the end. of the line marched,
forty-seven girls carrying an outspread
yellow flag, nine starred - upon which
were showered thousands? of coins.
Brookyn’s thousands came next. Then
came the college women, mure than a
thousand strong, whose members com
posed the Wellesley, Smith, Barnard,
Byrn Mawr, New York University,
Vassar, Radcliffe, Adelphi, Cornell, and
many other universities.
ANGLO-AMERICAN PEACE
TOPIC IN PEACE CONGRESS
ST. LOUIS, May. 5.-—A century of
“Anglo-American peace" was the general
topic for consideration at. the fourth
American peace congress. William Rid
dell, justice of the supreme court of
Ontario, reviewed the history of British-
American relations for the last hundred
years, and said that questions more dilii-
cult of settlement than any settled by-
war had been adjusted peacefully be-
tweeh the United States and Great Brit
ain. John Lewis, editor of the Toronto
Star, spoke on the identity of the in
terests of the United States and Canada.
Justice Benjamin Russell, of the su
preme court of Nova Scotia, said it was
a settled understanding among the Eng
lish speaking peoples of the world that
no possible question could arise between
them that was not capable of adjust
ment without recourse to the sword,
"That being so,” he said, “our first
duty is to have this understanding
formulated in a treaty from the provi
sions of which there shall be no ex
cepted questions.
“The proposed reservation of ques
tions affecting ’the ’ honor of the na
tion,’ which figured so largely in re
cent discussions of arbitration, is noth
ing better than that notion of honor
that formerly obliged a man to present
his body as the target for a duelist.’’

BIRD COLER CONDEMNS
(BY BISHOP
AMERICAN EDUCATION
W. A. CANDLER
T HE interest of the American peo
ple in the matter of education
unprecedented in the history
of nations. Beside the vast sums, ap
propriated by .states and municipalities
for common schools and the legislative
appropriations to state universities, im
mense gifts are made every year by
private individuals to institutions of
learning and boards of education. Such
gifts are without precedent in» ancient
or modern times, and the volume of
these gifts grows greater with each
passing year. Let us note a few which
have been made since thd opening of
the year 1913: Mrs. R. N. Carson has
left by will $6,000,000 for Carson Col
lege. Mr. Ferris Thompson has left
$3,000,000 to Princeton University. The
will of the late Robert P*. Doremus, a
business man of New York City, was
recently probated and it was found
that his entire fortune of between $3,-
000,000 ‘'and $5,000,000 had been left to
Washington and Lee University. Other
gifts besides t'hese have also been made;
but these are sufficent to show how
strongly the current of the generosity
of the rich among us sets toward edu
cational institutions.
All of this is certainly creditable to
our country. It sho\Vs that other "mo
tives than the motives of commercial
ism are operating in the hearts of at
least some of our people of wealth.
Evidently many of them believe that
there Is something better than money,
something into which money can be
turned and thereby its value be in
creased. By these great gifts the giv
ers declare their faith in the truth
that “man shall not live by bread
alone.”
But, while recognizing the generous
purposes which inspire such gifts, it is
not improper to ask, Are the givers
doomed to disappointment in the fruit
of their giving? Is such of the educa
tion given in the United States result
ing in the good which it should accom
plish? Many thoughtful men are an
swering flatly and positively, “No”.
Here, for example, Is the Honorable
Bird S. Coler, a notable political leader
in New York City, who in his recent
book entitled “Two And Two Make
Four”, denies outright that our educa
tional work is promoting the welfare
of the nation. He says in one place
in his book, “The public schools in this
country are not making for righteous
ness. There is not an educator of any
note in this country who has not ad
mitted this. The metropolis of this
country is thug-ridden. It has devel
oped a nlw type of criminal^ a con
scienceless. fearless young brute who
murders for hire, and recognizes no
moral accountability and no social ob
ligation”. Mr. Coler attributes this re
sult to the godliness of American edu
cation, and he says “The relationship of
the godless school to the growing vi
ciousness among our people did not
come to me as a religious .man but as
a practical man, a public officer admin
istering a municipal office”.
Mr. Coler not only condemns the
common schools because religious in
struction is excluded from them; but
he is even' more emphatic in his con
demnation of colleges and universities
which exclude Christian teaching. He
insists that morality can not exist if
religion perish, and that no sort of eth
ical culture can take the place of posi
tive faith; and deprecates the creation
of “a great fund for such colleges as
shall abandon Christ after having been
founded in His name”. •
However one may differ with some of
the things which Mr. Coler puts into
his book, his conclusion that irreligious
education results .in immorality can
hardly be denied. In this view he is
supported by both philosophy and his
tory. Historians and philosophers, in
cluding even some sceptics, have reach
ed the same conclusion. Thomas H.
Huxley said, “There must be a ’ moral
substratum to a child’s education to
make it valuable, and there is no other
source from which this can be obtained
at all comparable with the Bible”. Vic
tor Cousin asserted, “Any system of
school training which sharpens and
Strengthens the intellectual .powers
without, at the same time, affording a
source of restraint and countercheck
to their tendency to evil is a curse rath
er than a blessing”. So Archibald Al
ison declares that the spread of knowl
edge detached from religion depraves
any people. He says “The reason of its
corrupting tendency in morals is evi
dent—wheri so detached it multiplies
the desires and passions of the heart
without increasing its regulating prin
ciples; it augments the attacking forces
without strengthening the resisting
powers; and thence the disorder and li
cense it spreads through society. The
invariable characteristic of a declining
and corrupt state of society is a pro
gressing increase in the force of power
and a progressing decline in the influ
ence of duty”.
Certainly our civilization shows many

marks of such a declining state of so
ciety. The increase of murder, divorces,
and defalcations of every sort, points us
to tendencies of the most unrestrained
passion. The sense of duty seems to
have dropped out of the lives of many
of our people; and this lack of the
sense of moral responsibility <is not ob
served in the uneducated classes alone,
or chiefly. Those classes who claim
the highest culture show many of the
most serious departures from common
morality. They are educated, hut they
neither fear God nor regard man. Some
of them affect to lament the degradation
of the slums, even while they are them
selves practicing the vices which have
led many thousands of fallen people
into the slums.
It is evident that we are not deriv
ing from education all the good which
it should yield. When popular intelli
gence and popular immorality increase
together, it is manifest that some ele
ment of a proper education is wanting.
That element Mr. Coler thinks is re
ligion; and he is right.

be good or bad; and it te clear that in

morality is bad power. Impotent ignor

Wherefore it behooves all patriots to
concern themselves about some way for
imparting the indispensable t religious
element in education which ls now
conspicuously wanting. There seems to
be no practical way of doing this ex
cept by magnifying and strengthening
the schools of the Churches. Our rich
men should lay down on these altars
their offerings for education. Both their
duty and their interests should impel
them to this course. Secular education
is begetting all sorts of godless aspira
tions find socialistic ambitions. Another
twenty-five years of the kind of educa
tion which has prevailed during the last
twenty-five years will menace the very
life of our social system and our free
institutions. The Honorable Bird Coler
is no alarmist and no pessimist. More
over, he has been in position to ob
serve the effects of schools thoroughly
secularized. He boldly proclaims the
conclusions to which his observations
have led him. Let any man study care
fully the facts of the case, and doubt
less he will reach similar conclusions.
Another thing needs to be said: Col
leges which profess to be religious in
stitutions must make good their pro
fession. It is nothing less than edu
cational simony for a school to feed,
upon the Church, and claim a religious
character, in order to secure the sup
port of the Church, and then do its
work in a worldly and godless way.
Religious colleges must answer to the
public candidly and honestly the ques
tion “What do ye more than others?”
It were better to have schools downright
irreligious than to have hypocritical es
tablishments which deny or dishonor the
cause for which they were founded.

extra large and solid; there is an eighteen-inch top tape measure inlaid in the table. A combina
tion cable and lever-lifting device automatically raises sewing machine to position with one
