The head of the San Antonio EX-
press is as much a public character
as the humble clerk of Recorders
court. Mr.. Frank Grice is well
known to be the head of the Ex-
press.
The Express is merely the name
of Mr.. Frank Grice's newspaper
it's editorials are his property just
as the suit on his back; he don't
manufacture them; he hires an
editorial tailor to do that; but he
pays for them.
He, that is Mr.. Frank Grice, may
be a very modest, private citizen"
and all that, but his mOdesty does
not seem to prevent him from
making malicious personal filings
at another citizen, as private and
modest as he is.
1t is not the first time that Col.
Frank Grice has made the mistake
of using personal abuse as substi-
tute for argument.
The fact that the Express oppos-
es any public measure seems to be
a good reason why the people
should be in its favor. The only
measure that the Express has
given any assent to that has car
ried for years was the last school
bond proposition.
The Express advocated the pur-
chase of the waterworks, aud killed
the proposition Notwithstanding
the fact that it was backed by Mr..
Paschal and other influential citi-
Zens.
No newspaper in the whole
United States, occupying such a
commanding position, because
without opposition, commands so
little respect for its opinions, as the
San Antonio Express. This is not
an assertion but fact proven by
the repeated votes of the intelli.
gent voters.
Why is this--certainly not be-
cause the editorial work is not fair
ly good-in fact, it is generally
bright, flashing with sarcasm, en-
livened with wit and versatility.
But the people have come to the
judgment that the Express is only
impelled by private greed and
selfishness, not the public good;
hence the people have no use for its
opinions, while willing to pay for
it as a news medium.
If the Express, which in the ex-
treme "modesty" of it's editor,
charges the writer Of Short Stops
with quitting in an hours time
daily writing: John Smith, drunk
and down; 81 and COSTS" had in
fuence in proportion to its egotism
it would be influential indeed.
Subtract it's influence from its ego
tism and initiation and you will
find nothing left.
The Express, that is the "modest"
writer, gives it as good reason for
its opposition to sewers that "Col.
Newcomb puts in an hour daily
writing John Smith, drunk
and down; 81 and costs" That's
about as good reason as any
other the "modest" editor has
given.
Everybody is asking what killed
the fish in the river, and no reason
able solution is given, but as good
a reason as the Express gives for
opposing sewers, is, that the EX-
press has emptied its surplus mod
esUy (galD into the river.

nature is therefore rather radical than
conservative. When they leave the
safe sphere of all true women, that of
the home and the FIRMLY and enter pub
lie life, their sympathetic mind, being
removed from the natural objects of
their love, exults in ali the good of all
mankind. They devote themselves
either TO the spiritual redemption of
this sinful world, or to the physical re-
demption of downtrodden humanity
and in the pursuit of these aims, they
show all the inherent radicalism OF the
sex. History shows us women as pill
lars of the church and as leaders of the
revolution, IN the temple and upon the
barricades, as pietists and as petrole,tse.
Now the great objection is, that the
majority Of our women, the devoted
wives and mothers, the exemplary
housekeepers and ministering angels of
the home, take no interest in the larger
affairs of life and find it Incompatible
with a proper fulfiliment of their duties
to husbands and children. They will
therefore not participate in the degrad-
ing politics of our age. which they
could not hope to improve, for the rea-
sons heretofore given, while the radical
advocates of female suffrage, whom we
have depicted above. who do not find
consolation or satisfaction in the home
or the family, who suffer from aberra-
tion of love, and seem to have lost all
patience with the old fogy institution
of marriage and the position allotte d
to woman by the natural, the divine
and the human law, would do the vot-
ing and reinforce the already too
strong radical parties of the land, the
paternalists or the socialists. But rad
icalism means reckless disregard of
the rights of those who differ, a gov
ernment of violence aud force. a
| government by maj0rities, in which
radicalism forms the majority, becomes
| the worst imaginable despetism, and
| the fact that this despotism is not the
result of malice but of incapacity, does
not make the despotism easier to bear
This radicalism is a menace not only
to the safety but to the prosperity of
the free state. Legislation relating to
commerce, finance, manufactures etc.
is likely to be enacted with the same
reckless disregard for consequences,
which has characterized the treatment
of religious, moral and other questions
by these advocates of woman suffrage
| in the past.
| For all these reasons we mosL en-
phatically protest AGAINST the adoption
OF the constitutional amendment,
granting the right of suffrage to women,
and we hope that our readers, the mer-
chants of Kansas, who are the natural
leaders OF public opinion in their local
| tiles, will think twice before they COM
NIT not only the liberties but the bust
ness interests, the prosperity of Kan
sas, into the hands of radical and
! inexperienced female enthusiasts.

found talking politics every hour of his
life. Ed Boxweu was SURPRISED but
was not scared off the platform, be

made the most sensible speech of the
day. He had been with the D. D.
movement since 1890, and never caught
| the ''otfice itch, and thanked God IoI
! it; he said no sane man would say that
! the present financial and industrial
troubles was the work of a day, week,
month or year. but was the result of
thirty years of republican misrule: No
honest man would charge 1t TO the fact
OF the democrats getting into power:

the republican party in past years, and
those laws were today being carried
out by the democratic party
All the delegates expressed them
selves IN favor of the denomination OF

name was mentioned it was cheered to
the echo. The convention adjourn.
