AS TO IHe CONS rITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT.

1t is not Jul intention to misrepre-
sent any man or measure, pBrty or
paper. We recently q tied from the
NeW York Outlook, an article on the
proposed Constitu sional amend ment
regulating the right of suffrage and
made some comments thereon. The
next morning the News and Observer
accused Us of incorporating the
amendment. AS a number OF me
too" ne Wspapers, such as the Windsor
Ledger have reiterated the News and
o. ,ver's statement, we feet that in
ls ice Co ourselves, our reply TO the
Observers statement should be given
to our readers, N order that they may
understand our position. Our reply is
as ~f0llnws:
To the Editor:
In Inc News and Observer of yester
day morning in language which you
must admit was harsh, updISnlfied
and uncsl'ed for, you say The Pro
gressIve F Irmer has : ined hands
wi b PrItcnard aud Isaac Smith in the
fight against the Cor s itutional Amend
ment." 1 am not prepared to enter a
mud Singing contest. but wish TO say
that The Progressive Farmer has taken
no such stand. and tina there Ia moth
ing n the editorials to which you re
fer. to warrant such an inference
For my own part (and / am the
author of the editorials to which you
refer) I now think-though I have
not given the q lestion a very thorough
.study-thst the supporters of the
amendment are much b9tter equipped
with argument than are those who op-
pose it, provided the constitutionelity
of the grandfather clause can be clearly
established But as an editor I try to
discuss the questions Of the day in an
unbi SD and unprejudiced manner.
[ know that the white man is better
prepared to exercise the right of suf
rage than is the negro. But on the
other hand I kuo " that designing pol
iticians have m re than once used the
cry of "white supre macy" for base
and unholy purposes. 1t seems that,
the consritutionelity of the grand
father clause established, the am nd
ment would take the a C question out
Of politics and would thereby give a
death blow to the politician who does
the bidding Of the bidding of the negroes
in order to secur their votes, and to
the equally unpripcipled demagogue
who, without the character necessary
to command support. whips the unw1l.
ling voters into line with the CRY OF
ignite supremacy" In that the
amendment would do vast good.
But I am not in favor of deceiving
the people and for declaring that the
people should know for what they

THE PLATFORM WOMAN.
This Noted Author Says She Has Ever
Been a Blot Upon American
WOmanhOOd. i

The platform woman never has been
a credit to, but ever blot upon, Amer
lean womanhood. I make this emphat-
ic statement from personal knowl-
edge of the homes which these women
leave behind when they go to their
meetings, writes Edward Box, in La
dies Home Journal. l have seen the
rooms Of their homes left in wild dis
order; I have seen their servants sit
ting in idleness with work on every
hand to do; I have seen the children
neglected and left to their own devices;
have heard husbands speak in derison
of the motives of their wives. No vvom-
an in happy American home can ever
afford to listen to these parasites of
her sex. Fortunately, the platform
woman's influence is steadily on the
wane. She was never power. She was
never even picturesque. Her worst in
jury was wrought upon certain weak
women who for the time she deluded.
But even with them she was soon re-
garded with wonder rather than with
interest; with suspicion rather than
with confidence. Less and less has she
been able to get listeners, and it is sig
nifcant that in places where she has
spoken during the present season she
has not been seen again. The disap-
pearance Of the platform woman is a
case of blot being blotted out.

HOME LOVERS FIRST CHOICE.
Swiss Maidens Are Sorely Hampered
in Their Choice by Tra-
= dition.

If the American girl was as restricted
in her choice of a husband as the girl
of mountainous Switzerland she would
quickly emigrate from the land: of lib
erty to set up republic of her own
governing in some convenient section
of the globe.
Swiss maidens have wide and deep
courtship license, but in many of the
cantons they are allowed but narrow
choice of bridegrooms, it being a rigor-
ously enforced, if unwritten, law tina,
they must marry youth of their own
neighborhood. In many villages every
manageable youth belongs to So
ciety whose sole object is to prevent
any and every youth from outside from
coming accounting the maidens of the
society's village.
The society has password, frequent
ly changed-almost never divulged. A
lover of the village, if challenged, gives
the password and lis an "open sesame
through the on-guard ranks of the pro-
tective society.
He may climb and WOO uninterrupted,
undisturbed. But the lover from afar
must fight his way past the challenging
sentinels or use the shrewdest and most
successful stealth.
