It was a meeting for the diseusionof the birth control movement, held un-

dor the au?picea of the WOBaBa'a City(lub.John Soumner, seeretary of tha <om-

stock Society, stirred up the Unipestby declnhng:"The most vociferous exponents of

t'ni.i thing, the most notorious law-broaker, is in it, not for the good ofthe community. but for what *he canmake out of it."

that's a lie!"One of the men was identified as

single Australian on earth," said he.Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, a tubereulosis

expert, and Dr. Ira S. Wile, of theBoard of Education, epoke in favor ofchanges in the presont law whichwould give physicians the right to givetheir patients birth control informa-tion. Dr. Knopf ndvocated free clinics,maintained by the state, wherein prop-erly qualifled physicians tthould be al-|0WM to disseminate the informatlon.There was a large attendance, eom-

poaad of the radical frieada of MraSanger and many con»i-rvatn e niem-

bers of the club.

Mrs. Sanger Baffles Policeand Continues Her Clinic"Wom»n don't pay any attention to

the law, anyhow, and what in thundercan we do about it ?"This wa* the belated decision that

yesterday led the police in the New.lersey Avenue Court to take a new tackin their attempt to get rid of the birthcontrol clinic operated by Mr?. Mar-

garet Sanger, at 46 Amboy Street,Brooklyn.Mrs. Sanger had been arrested twlea

and waa facir.g two trials. In f?pite ofthat ahe waa golng right on. Police

Captain Isaac Krank made up hls mindthat the only thing that could be donewith a woman who insisted upon hav-irig her own way was to put the mattcr

up to eome mun.

Accordingly, he aent word to JosephKabinowitz, owner of the premises at46 Ambov Street, that action would betaken agair:-' him unless he ejectedMra Sanger and the birth control clinicfrom hia building..But I'vo leased the room for a

year," Mra. Sanger reminded her land-iord.' serenely. "lt's an iron clad loase,too." .v .

Mrs. Sanger appeared in the New Jer-sey Avenue (Ourt prepared to contend,through her counsel. Jonah Y.. (iold-.¦"tein, that she is not maintainirg a

public ruiisanc-e, as the warran: for herarrt-st charged. Owing to pre.-sure ofbunnosa in the District Attorney's of-t.ee, it was agreed to adjourn her caseunt'il Tueaday. On Monday she ap-peara in Specinl Seaaions, charged withgiving out birth control information.Twenty women, awaiting her at the

clinic, aet up a eheer when Mrs. Sangerreturned from court.

"I am not niaintaining a public nui-sance. but a public bleaaing," the lit¬tle. brown-eyed achool teacher said."And I don't see what tho law can doabout it."She added that if anybody waa go-

ing to worry about it, tt would have tobe Mr. KabmowiU.

WHY WILSON WON.IN-

California-Kansas-Ohio-Utah-Washington-WyomingTHE LITERARY DIGEST lias reoeived many tele<jrams which are reprintctl in llic

issuc of NoYcmber ISth. Typical cxamples are tliese two.from Kansas:

"Idealistic Kansas Voted for the IdealismIt Found in Woodrow Wilson"

"It was Kansas idealism that <raYe Woodrow Wilson the Kleetoral Yote. IdealisticKansas Yoted for the idealism it found in Woodrow Wilson, and which, with the friendlirstwill in the world. it failed to find in Mr. II njjhcs. It rejoices in a prosperity it has nc\er

before known. but above "and beyond all else, Kansas voted for Woodrow Wilson because itrecognizefl in him one who, in ipite of all Yaeillalion and many mistakes yet does appreciatethe faet that the American people look to somethin«r beyond merc dollars."

14We Went Democratic by Default, Because We WereNeither Hungry, Indignant, nor Scared"

"First, there was a fat, rieh enshion of prosperity, and the farmer was lnlled upon it;he refused to think. Second, the women Yoters were attracted very largely by the qnaveringllogan 'He kept us out of war'; they refused to think. Third, the Repnblican state managerscould not belieYe there was any real danger; they refused to think.or worry. So we wentDemocratic by default, because we were neither hungry, indignant, nor scared. In Kansas, itwas not l vietory but a symptom. It does not mean the rejnvenation of Kansas Democracy,but the fatty degeneration of the Kansas spirit."
