The intelligent woman is denied
participation in our government be-
cause she is woman, while the igno-
rant adult is permitted to decide con-
corning our governmental affairs be-
cause he has the form and stature of a
man. This illogical basis OF the suf-
frage is a great and eyer-present men
ace to the life of the Nation. There
should be few restrictions placed on
the right of suffrage In a republic, and
these should be laid on the ground Of
intelligence and moral fitness for its
exercise. To place 1t on other grounds
is both wrong and politically unwise
THE intelligent and moral citizens
of a republic should have an equal
voice in the affairs OF the government
by which they are to be ruled, and
without limitations or conditions than
capacity and moral fitness. The suf-
frage which is conferred must be kept
pure IL the Nation Is TO live. II means
national decay and death If any person
or class OF persons having the right Of
suffrage shall be compelled either by
force or fraud, or induced by gain to
exercise this right against the dictates
of their own judgment or in violation
of their own consciences. II means ma
tional death for men to barter away
this right, preferment or power, and
from all those who are willing to do so,
1t should be withheld. I look upon the
right granting and pure exercise OF the
franchise as the sheet-anchor Of free

no homes and no hold upon the soil,
the first instinct OF these poor crea-

1876, as in that OF the following year

suggested means of obviating, or at
least diminishing, such a danger.
The plan Roberts suggested was for
the government to establish a large
number of emergency hospitals and
food distributing depots. The hospit-
ais were called for because pestilence
always walked in the wake of famine.
Although Roberts was at the time one
of the cabinet advisers to Lord Duffer--
in, the viceroy, his suggestions were
not accepted, and the blacks were left

LILLIAfl RUSSELL AS A CHILD
HOW THE PRETTIEST WOMAN on
THE STAGE LOOKED AND ACTED
AT THE TENDER AGE OF FOUR
WEARS


This is picture OF Lillian Russell
taken when she was child OF four
years. At that date she was chubby
faced little girl. of good complexion
and straw-coi oced hair. showing small
indication OF the marvellous beauty
Which she would some day develop.
Her name in those days was Nellie
Leonard and the little girl was one of
four sisters who played on the streets
Of New Yoli and went to school with
pther children. Old neighhors of the
Leonards remember Nellie as a fat,
Eoodlnatured child with red cheeks,
pouting lips and the biggest blue eyes
a child ever had.
at the age OF three Nellie Leonard
could sing, and at five she knew no
less than twenty different songs, which
she rendered surprisingly well.
She was always of an unselfish dis
position and, OF all her sisters, gave
her mother the least trouble. Nellie
washed the dishes, swept the floor, ran
crrands and helped her mother with
other household tasks.
Ore day, when she was tall, slen-
der girl CT seventeen. somebody dis

to freeze out the professionals. The game
dragged so that at o'clock. when the

and told that he could trot out his pro-
fessionals at the conclusion OF the game.

deal and the spectators were called upon TO
decide what should be done. The Brook
