A Quick witted Baptist.

One of the candidates for the state
senate down i'll jefferson county. Ala.
was a prominent Baptist. and he eA-
pected his fellow churchmen to help
push him along. The story goes that he
was campaigning OH a country beat and
had the good fortune t O fall in with a
whole congregation of Baptists. Wheth-
er a prayer meeting had just been held
or what the occasion Of the gathering
was is not known. About this time a
light shower came up, and the candi-
date at once raised u large umbrella
which he was carrying.
"You are not afraid of this little
shower, are you, Brother ---?' re-
marked one good Baptist. standing near.
"Not at ALL" responded the quick
witted candidate, "but you know I am
opposed to all forms Of 'sprinkling.' /"
He carried that beat .solidly.-New Or
leans Times Democrat.

While other candidates for state po-
sitions are being talked of the people
will not lose sightof the fact that John
L. Burke of Hot Springs. is now an ac-
tive candidate for state treasurer. Mr..
Burke has always carried this county
by large majorities over his ticket and
there is scarcely any doubt, should he
be nominated by the republican son
vention, that he would prove one of the
strongest vote getters on the ticket.
Fall River county will no doubt permit
Mr.. Burke to name the delegates to the
Mitchell convention. AS county treas
Ire of this county for four years he
has been q model official and has SUI
perior qualifications that especially fit
him for the position of state treasurer.
John l.. Burke for state treasurer will
suit the people.

Congressman Knowles changed his
mind regarding the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands, and made a good
speech in favor of the resolution for
annexation. He believes our country
needs Hawaii as a coaling station, and
he declared that the more he had heard
from the opponents of the measure,
the more convinced he became of the
''inherent weakness of their case,'' and
that 'eyery single argument thus far
prod uced against this measure can be
found in substance in the Congress
sional Globe and Record against every
acquisition of territory from the Loui-
siana purchase to the annexation of
Alaska. All the dire calamities pre-
dicted in this cast were predictad of

The Edgemont Express has declared
for Kirk Phillips for governor. Ii
Kirk carries Lawrence county he will
doubtless have pretty nearly the solid
} support of the Hills. He has certainly
made Il record as state treasurer that
causes his friends to feel proud of him.
The strife between Edwin Van Cise
for congress and Nj. Phillips in Law
renee county is likely to be a very ac-
tive. hard contest. for we understand
that while Kirk Phillips has scores of
warm personal friends who would like
to see him governor. many.feel that tie
Block Hills should have IA congress-.
man and therefore there is IA very UNI
settled feeling in Lawrence county as
t. just how the strife will end. With
"a candidate for state treasurer Fall
River county is likely to keepits hands
clear of the Lawrence county contest.

"a Column by Woman suffragistsy

A Massachusetts woman recently
addressed Il letter to Judge Samuel
L. Corn of the supreme court of Wyo.
ming. asking whether the bad and ig-
norant women vote more generally
than the good and intelligent, and
whether any of the other predicted
evils have happened, Judge Corn
writesin reply: ..
III can answer your questions in the
negative without any reservation what
ever. And while there are a few men
here who do not thoroughly approve of
woman's suffrage, l do not think
there is one in the state who would
seriously n YER them otherwise.
"Women of all classes very generally
vote. Bad women do not obtrude their
persons at the polls and 1 do not now
remember ever to have seen a distinct
~ bad women casting her vote.
"Woman suffrage has no injurious
effect upon the home or the family
that 1 have ever heard of during the
twelve years that / have resided in the
state. 1t does not take so much of wo-
mems time as to interfere with her do
nestle duties or with their church or
charitable work. 1t does not impair
their womanliness or make them less
satisfactory as wives and mothers.
They do not have less influence. or en-
joy less respect and consideration So
cially. My impression is that they
read the daily papers andinform them
selves upon public questions, much
more generally than women elsewhere.
"Woman suffrage has certainly had
no bad results. On the other hand it
has not revolutionized or reconstruct
ed society. But it has had the effect
to exclude almost entirely VIGOROUSLY
bad or immoral men from public office
in the state. Parties refuse to nomin-
ate such men upon the distinct ground
that they cannot obtain the woman
vote. 1t has had the effect to make
u elections the most quiet and Or
derby 1 have ever seen anywhere. Any
woman may go to the polls unattended
with the same assurance of safety, re-
spect and courtesy as if she were going
shopping or to prayer meeting. A
man would incur personal danger who
should violate the rule of uniform
courtesy to all women under such cir
cumstances.
"The natural gresult of such condi-
tions is toincrease the respect in which
women are held, and not to diminish
it. They are a important factor
in affairs and therefore more regarded.
1t is generally conceded, I think, that
women have Il higher standard of NOR
atty and right living than men. And,
as they have a say in public matters,
it has a tendency to make men respect
their standard, and in some degree to
attain TO it themselves.
II have never been an enthusiastic
advocate of man suffrage as a cure for
all the ills that afi1ict society, but ]
give you in entire candor my impress
sion Of it from my observation in this
state. 1t is difficult to make anyone
not residing here understand tho en-
tire absence of the Objectionable feat
ures which it is supposed must attend
exist"

MUST BUY NEW BOOKS.
Topeka Parents Indignant Over the
School Book Situation.

Many Topeka parents who purchased
new school books last year were sur
prised last night when their children
came home from school and reported
that the operation would have to De re-
peated this year.
year ago the Topeka board of edu-
cation. in common with those of nearly
all other cities of the first and second
classes in the state, made contracts with
book publishers for five years and some
new books were adopted, in order to
avoid the provisions of the state text
book law. This necessitated the pur-
chase of new books.
When the supreme court. a few weeks
ago held such contracts to be void, it
became necessary to adopt the state
text books, and this year parents were
confronted with another purchase of
books. This has caused some of them
to criticise the text book law, on which
they lay the blame.
1T is not the fault of the text book
law" said superintendent Stryker to-
day, in speaking of the matter. THE
blame all belongs to the board of edu-
cation. In the face of the text book
law and the probability that the SUI
preme court would compel them to ac-
cept the state text books they adopted
entirely different books last year. If
they had not attempted to get around
the law this condition of affairs would
not have existed.
zone beauty of the state text book
law is that it prevents frequent chang
es. Heretofore every time a new SUI
perintendent or a new set of teachers
was elected it was quite probable that
a change was also made in the text
books. This is impossible under the
state system Everywhere I go where
the state books We're adopted last year
people speak of the cheapness of the
books and the satisfactory manner in
which the system is working.
Topeka was not the only city that
adopted new books last year. only to
md that a change is now necessary.
