DO the Editor Of the Globe:


Of July "a, Communism and Woman's
Suffrage" seems to be somewhat want
ing in intelligent knowledge of these two
subjects, and the real meaning and pur-
pose of "woman's suffrage"
A backward glance over the historical
political record of the Democratic party
shows that although for more than half
century it was the slave of the English
colonial agricultural theologian cotton
ring, Yet, during that time, the male body
polite, under its far-sighted, intelligent
and progressive free public schooI-edu-
Gated manufacturing system, the brains
as well as the physical commercial body
of the nation, has grown to be a most
powerful inventive and reasoning indus
trial giant in the manufacturing CEN
tiers of the Northern, Middle and Western
states.
II today, according to the Dispatch,
''The most communistic section of the
group of states which occupies the north
ern region of the Rockies and their i'm
mediate slope, it is occupied by the
common people, as Mr.. Bryan, who
lives in one Of the Middle Western states,
with a decidedly Western exposure,
would say. But, we should say,
by the people in common"
The writer goes on and tries to ex-
plain why these Western states, and this
section of the country where Mr.. Bryan
lives in particular is so thoroughly en-
bued with such clearly defined Demo-
cratic business purposes. And so strict
~ conhne themselves to the real scope
and meaning of the federal constitution
and its amendments, and this editorial
writer rightly calls this national and sec
tional Democratic commercial unity of
ideas, pursuits ard educational freedom
of conscience, of person and of social
rights Communism" and accordingly
cIiticises H. in the usual crude and GER
sentative old-fashoned manner of a lin

NOW how is it in the conservative Re

Mr.. Mckinley resides?
If am not srievously mistaken the,.

ton of Republican conservative civic
state government AS matter of fact
In all these states, where the dark
skinned industrial army of Republican
created electorate civic government has
It's stronghold, there Sc to be found no
socially refined modern educa tional san
itary convcniences for the use of pri-
Vate families, neither for teachers or
scholars in the white schools no self
governed nor refined or trained home
habits of modest self bodily respect; but
there is a color line in public educational
life; there is class privileges; there is
protected and depended family titles and
aristOcratic family crimes and social con-
ditions for this Republican industrial
electoral vote. There is a rough board
shantV for shelter for ALL white as well
as black rural citizens. There Is unpaI-
Rtable, codlse half cooked food, but only
a cast-off inherited revolutionary rag,
torn, dirty and unsightly. to cover the
nakedness- of this Republican voter.

where Western Communism and WON

towns and rural districts, men, women
and children are the slaves of the tariff
protected industries.
An article in the Atlantic Monthly for
April, 1S99 shows the terrible social con-
hiton existing in Republican conserva-
tive New England.
Permit me to add that this question of
woman suffrage" means equalization OF
wages leveling down and building of
home business, not a tearing down and
destroying Of commercial enterprises
and far-reaching trading operations. The
real meaning of Communism" is having
all trading enterprises on the same pro-
