Russia Signs Treaties Moscow, April 2.'1.-?Soviet Russia, despite its isolation, has signed 77 voluntary treaties, agreements and . conventions with foreign powers since the revolution of 1917, it is un nounced by an official state puldicai 'ion recounting the progress made by the Bolsheviki toward woild recognition. This list dees not include three . compulsory conventions, such as the I treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which were concluded under duress. The treaties are arranged in three ? groups, the first of which were eonI eluded with the so-called independent Soviet republics; the second with I states bordering on Russia, and the > third with states of Western Europe, including England and France. The only agreement between Soviet Russia and the United States is the one signed last August with the AmI oriean Relief Administration for the feeding of Russia's starving millions in the famine districts. Twenty-one treaties are embraced in the first group between the Soviets and Armenia, A/.erbiajan, Bukhara, . Georgia, Ukraine, White Russia and I the Far Eastern Republic. In gener' ul, according to the official publication, those alliances provide for the I unification of various departments of the several governments with Russia. Treaties between the Soviets and the border states comprise HI agreements concluded with Finland, Es! thonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, 1 Rumania. Turkey, Afghanistan, , Mongolia and Persia. The most im? portant of these, the publication declares, is the treaty with Persia, which provides that Russia mav snnrf armed forces into Persia territory should a hostile nation at any time attempt to attack the Soviets from 'hat quarter. Repatriation of mi'Pnry and "ivil prisoners and re-establishment of 1 trade are dealt with almost exclusivelv in the third groun. Trade a"reemei.ts have been concluded between Soviet Russia and England, France, I Germany, Sweden, Norway and Italy. , as well as agreements of one kind or another with Austria, Belgium and , Hungary. Much Work Must be Done on Russian Railways l.ondon, April 24. -English palates. long noted for their apreciation of ' fine old wines, are in danger of deterioration because of the lower nriee of vintages, according to a group of prominent wine merchants who propose an English "wine week" in emulation of the French custom. Wine, they declare, is no longer a luxury as the lower price has brought it within reach of all. The purposes of wine week, it is said, wil be to educate the English taste for wines and also to instruct diners in the elementary rules and traditional usage of beverage selections. It is planned to gather a rep resentative gtroup of speakers and writers to sing the praises of wine, and to tell those who would learn how to drink it. The merchants ex- ' pect substantial assistance from the ' governments of wine producing coun- 1 tries, such as France, Italy, Spain and Australia. Twenty-one members of the League ?f Nations have failed to pay theii subscriptions for 1921, according to I an announcement in the Knglish House of Commons. Certain soils in Russia, India and Persia have always been eaten for < their health-giving properties. ' Sermon on > Christian Citizenship Rev. E. S. Reaves, I). I)., Speaks Sunday Morning Ipon This Vital Theme. Rev. E. S. Reaves, D. D., pastor of i the First Baptist church, delivered a % sermon Sunday evening on Christian j Citizenship, taking as his text Philippians 1:27, "Only let your convefsa- * tion be as becometh the gospel of t Christ." In part the speaker said: A "The text is a notable example of 1 the growth in language by which a * word comes to mean less or more than \ it originally did. When the King ( James translation was made the word "conversation" had reference to the 1 whole manner of life. In its derivation it gives the picture of one turn- i ing here and there as he makes his j way through a crowd. It is used to translate the Greek word from which ' our word politics is derived. It would 1 not be amiss to translate the text, ; "Only behave yourselves as free citizens as it becometh the gospel of Christ." This text is my warrant for discussing citizenship. : There is need for such discussion because we are so prone to forget that we are Christians when we come to discbarge the duties of citizenship. It ' is to the discredit of our Christianity that we have made our influences s< i little felt in governmental affairs. In , thn vofi? of tho rhrifit.ittn t< be found the remedy for all our polit 1 ieal ills. i Arc there peculiar evils today? Yes, and for the reason that we are now in the backwash of the great war. The history of wars is that in their wakt ( there is a let down of morals and a i deluge of crimes. I do not think that our community is the worst in the state and we are fortunate that we f have had in our midst no great shock I ing crime. But there are evils among us which ought to be corrected. We need to mako diligent inquiry into many conditions. What about the 1 moral conditions of Union? Does the scarlet woman ply her trade in our t midst? Is liquor sold in our town? I have no idea that I could buy any but what about the man who wants it? Are our laws with reference tc s Sunday selling enforced? Could you c have made purchases today contrary v to the plain provision of the law? . These are questions which we need to face and to answer. f What has a state or a city the right i to expect of its citizens who are Christians? 1. That they shall he law-abiding. 1 Others may violate the laws but th< > Christian can not do it if he would i be loyal to his Lord. Christ, by ex ample and precept, taught obedience and respect for law. The same duty v was enjoined by the apostles. It ii i not a light thing to set law aside. Set t Rom. 13:1, 2. I Peter 2:13. You cai j not. set any L.w aside and violate i without thereby weakening all law. f A Christian is never justified in being I a member of a mob. i 2. That they shall respect and sup pott, in their official capacity, the mer who hold olee. Again we have th< ' exi mpie of Christ. He was the law v abiding cit'zen and yielded obedience and respect to those who held pub ] lie office. The same duty is taugh' ' v the Apostle Paul. See I Tim. 2:1, 2 The officers, many of them, were no to*, iously corrupt, but the duty of support and respect are enjoined al1 the same. This does not preclude the right of protest when the officer of the law , *ops wrong. It does not deny the riirht In nutilinri TVip rio-hl t/i noli. ' VW I'V V.V.V... - ^ VW r-?t.ion and the right to protest are inalienable rights and are entirely jus- < tillable when done in reason and with hie moderation. 3. That they shall act worthily of 'he gospel of Christ when they come Jo cast their ballots. The use of the ballot is a sacred privilege and ought, to be exercised in !<<" ping with one's profession as a 1 Christian. Our use of the "ballot ought not to contradict all of the gospel which we profess to believe. Jethro gave to Moses advice which ought still t?> control our use of th< ballot, "Provide out of all the peopli able n>".i such as f-ar Clod, men of truth, hating covetousness and place such over them to be rulers." Ex. 18:21. !!eie aie th characteristics which we ought to s.'ek in public servants What are they? 1. Ability. The first test of a mar who is applying for an office is, "Is he competent to di.-charge the duties >f the office?" 2. Character. "Does he fear God and govern Irs H'e accordingly?" T-" . io :*.< of the conduct of had men. The influence of a had immoral man elevated to office, is per nicious in its influence upon our youth 3. Integrity. The public servant ought to be "a man of truth." If he i1 not how can we be sure of his conluct ? 4. "Hating covetousness." The man who is over anxious for money is not a safe public servant. Tin s may a citizen discharge his citizenship in keeping with the gospel and all of us who love the nana of Christ ought so to do. Postal Checking Account System Stockholm, April 24.?A postal hocking account system whereby the , Swedish post office department will be enabled to do a limited commercial i banking business is proposed in a bill recently submitted to the Riksdag and sponsored by Ander Oerne, Minister of Communications. The hill ..i.... IU..I ?i.,. ............t ..i.D4?.I I airtw )M wviut"."? uhu nif |M uauiit savings department be merged with the post office service. Under the proposed system, which is meeting some opposition from the banking interests of the country, small depositors in the recognized postal savings hanks could draw their own checks instead of buying postal money orders. This system Minis ter Oerne contends, would effect a saving in the salaries of officials and money order clerks and other expenses. He declares that less than line third of the clerical force now required could handle the work under the new arrangement. Minister Oerne states that the proposed postal checking system will be of incalculable value to small depositors an?l especially to people in rural communities where there are no banking facilities. In Kngland the use of chewing-gum is confined principally to coal miners, factory workers and other industrial employes who cannot smoke at their work. V omen Voter* i Want to Safeguard Women Wage Earners Baltimore, Md., April 25.?Pointng to the 12,000,000 wage earning vomen in the United States, Miss Hary E. McDowell of Chicago told he National League of Women Vot;rs today that "the handciaps of (he voman wage earner demand that society for its own sake shall safeguard her health and her future .vorking conditions that upbuild and lo not debase the American standard >f community morale." Miss McDowell, who delivered her report as chairman of the commitee on women in industry, also recimmended technical training for women who desire to work with tools ind metals. 'A late study shows that 85 parent of the wage earning women are uipportingf others," Miss McDowell ontinued in her report. "Our social security lies in an unpauperized, healthy working class. We ask for minimum wage boards to prevent any group of wage earning: vomen being paid a pauperizing I vage, because a low paid group is a i nenaee to social and industrial life. | The business built upon low paid Aromen workers is a parasitical inlustry that depends upon the comnunities' subsidizing its victims. "We ask for an eight-hour day; for me day's rest in seven and for prolibition of night work for women be-1 ause the American standard of livng demands a healthy, rested moth-1 srhood. ' "The children of tired mothers will >e unequal to the future demands of in American democracy. "We women voters want every lafeguard thrown about the millions >f young women wage earners. We vant women employed managers in 'actories and stores. We want train >d, intelligent, sympathetic women industrial managers wherever women vork. We want broader industrial .raining for women who love to work vith tools and metal as well as those a ho prefer the traditinal domestic science line. We women voters want vomen on all mediatorial boards that leal with industrial differences whore lie interests of women workers are < involved. Family life, the cornerstone of our American society, must )e safeguarded by eyery means that s within the power of our new politcal opportunity. Women have politcal equality but no equality in the vorld of work." ' !n Re: Publicity of Suit Brought by Fur man Uni. Against the Waller Estate Columbia, S. C., April 20, 1922. Some of our people,are disturbed tibout the newspaper statements given out concerning the suit brought by Furman University against the estate of C. A. C. Waller to recover the payment of pledge of $10,000 made by Mr. Waller to Furman University ( through the 75 Million Campaign. 1 J wish T-ou to know the facts that you ;, may answer any questions arising J concerning this. The facts are as fol- , lows: Mr. Waller in making the subscription to Furman voluntarily struck out the exemption clause. In making the subscription he was carrying out also a purpose expressed many times?to give to Furman a considerable sum of money. Thu (\m in I< ru 1i\rc u;<?r,r of fipul ci sposed to pay the pledge without question, but found it unsafe to do so until the courts had passed upon it. Not only with the consent, but upon! the suggestion of the administrators the suit was brought. It is purely a| "friendly suit." There is no other subscription to { our campaign in South Carolina likej the one made by Mr. Waller and the j suit would not have been brought in this case except in connection with the circumstances as related above.

Measures Relating To Social Hygiene a Baltimore, Md., April 25.?Fifty five measures relating to social hy- ( giene were passed by state legisla- I Lures out of 182 introduced in 1921, I Mrs. Ann Webster of Washington, D. C., chairman of the social hygiene zommittee of the National League of Women Voters, said in her report toJay before the convention of the league. Mrs. Webster asserted that while jvery state has not enacted all the measures "which are considered requisite to a model program, there ire enough laws on the statute books :oday to thoroughly demonstrate the ^alue of vice repressive measures if in appreciable number of laws were jnforced." Declaring that preventive measures were of primary importance, Mrs. Webster said "we often hear, now that the war is over, that there is no longer necessity for continued vigilance; that after all, segregation is the only way to control vice and to prevent crimes against women." "These are all defenses of th'1 unlenvorld and of those who profit by its success," she continued. "We have been educated away from toleration cf vice, and it is too late to turn back. The 'American plan' of no toleration is succeeding, and with a body of informed voters we will have no fear of the repealing of laws decent citizens have fought for. There will be no reiu.n to the old order. "Every stale that undertakes to stimulate i 1 crest in social hygiene measures > h u'.d bear in mind the importance of sponsoring only those measures which do not discriminate against women." Mrs. Webster said that a half loaf is not better than none, and this evil "cannot be checked nor infection controlled when one person only is held accountable for offenses involving two offenders. In any new legislation you sponsor and in amending the old laws, insist upon equal treatment for equal offenses. "The public health phase of the social hygiene program is of only secondary importance compared with ? great preventive features. Decent \_ recreational opportunities, scientific educational measures in our schools R. and colleges, courses in hygiene in every teacher-training institution, and trained women and men in pro- g bat ion and police departments, should nj receive our first consideration. B J "Know your own community. Know I " the laws you have, know who is and ] who is not enforcing them, know the pitfalls for young people and how they can be circumvented. Social hygiene is an every day thing. We cannot complain that conditions are not right if we have not helped-to make them right."
