TO vote that we would soon see the lasl Oh

brings sadness and sorrow to so many
otherwise happy home. OH ! am So
glad that my papa Is not drunkard.

Haps. Enclosed cents for the helping |
FUND. remain true Hap,
Briar, Texas. Dear Haphammcr; AS
the contest has opened. Should Women
vote?" don't think they should. Why
Because don't think II is a woman
place 10 vote and hold Office, and II q
woman was to be shcrlit, NOW would
she look with two revolvers swung to her
side, trying to arrest some train robbers
like the BLACK Jack" gang? AT the hrst
sight of such outlaws as those she would
run. | think II women were Judges VIC
would have no prisoners. Just notice the
States and Nations that are not gov
erned by women; they have better gov
] eminent than the ones that are JUST
4 tell me what woman IL Is that wants to
20 to the polls and vote. Not one out OF
1000. Well, ] bet Arthur Dawson votes
that women should not vote, don't you,
Haps? The Trinity river has been as
high as 1t was in 1875. and let me tell
you il was booming. Well ! Will close.
( AS ever, true Hap, Elois McCraw.

have been q reader of the Haps nice, ~
teresting letters for q long time, put
somehow | could never get up courase
enough to write Now IL you viii permit
me ! viii step in and cast my vote for ms
affirmative side of the question, should
Women Voter and II you viii allow me
| will tell you the simple reasons why
have come to the conclusion that women
should vote. Take glance al the WIDOW
she has to pay State tax. county tax,
,oI ,t,x. oil taN
other taxes, but still she cant vote or
have any voice at all in the way our state
Is governed. We all admit that the polls
Is a drunken place, burt II women were
allowed they would do the voting whlle

Our honorable opponent. Mr.. Philip WEB
ster says a woman sheriff would be AFRAID
to arrest any one. as they are very ex-
citabe and nervous. Now, Mr.. webster.
surely you have not thought OF the battle
of Monmouth, where Molly pitcher, VINO
was bringing water to the soidlers, saw
her husband shot down and Immediately
took his place at the gun. Also oil lae
bravery OF Mrs. Anne Hutchinson The
women of today are just as nervous anu
excitable as they were In the days OF
Molly Pitcher. ] think Mr.. Nichols Is
mistaken in saying sound does not travei
up. Sound does not travel at all SOUND
is the mode Of motion that is capable OF
, affecting the auditory nerve, Sound Is
ordinarily propagated through the arr.
The first layer of air Is struck by some
vibrating body, the particles OF TINS layer
: give their motion to the particles OF the
next layer, and so on until the particles
, of the last layer strike upon the drum OF
the ear. So I can't see why the air
n can't vibrate up as well as any way
