WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Opposition to 1t Is Alleged as One Of
the Counts Against Democracy

Cleveland Leader (Rep.)
The Democratic propensity to resist
change and ha1k against progress has
always made the Democratic Party an
tagonistic to woman suffrage. The States
which have given the ballot to women
are Republican States, and in States
where universal woman suffrage has not
prevailed It has been most solidiy and
unanimously opposed by the Democrats.

to Democrats, especially such as are can
d,dates for ONCE. The bulk of the vote
cast by women, In school elections or
in any other case, is pretty sure to be
given to Republicans. The rule has few
exceptions and they are more in favor
Of Prohibition or independent tickets than
the nominees Of the Democracy.
Some of the local bosses OF the Dem
ocratic Party are beginning to get these
very simple and easily understood facts
into their minds. The consequence Is that
they are worried over the coming school
election. They have reason to be. One
of the strongest assurances of Republi-

PARROT PROVES HIS WORTH.
Scares Burglar Away from a Girls

more and more lax in locking the doors

One day last week, when the boarders
were all enjoying their midday meal, a
violent screeching and yelling was heard
from the nearest cottage that in which
the parrot was kept. One of the girls
suggested that stray cat had got into
the house and was the cause OF the out
cry.
At this one of the teachers volunteered
to investigate. In few moments she re-

burglars and was at that very moment
being robbed.
For an instant panic reigned among the
pupils, but 1t was Immediately quelled by
the principal. She directed ope of the
teachers to telephone for the police. while
she went over to the cottage with James,
the gardener.
On arriving at the scene they found the
building had indeed been entered. AL
most all the rooms showed signs of a
robber. The bureau drawers had been
rifled and things strewn about.
In the next to the last room on the sec

with all sorts of valuable trinkets. and
other articles were lying about ths floor,

precipitate flight was soon made manifest
by the sudden cutlery Of the parrot In the

Extra Precaution.

Greenville News: On Sunday last,
the Woodmen of the World Of Green
vile went up into the mountains to un-
veil monument erected to the memo
ry Of one of their deceased members.
The burial ground was near an old cit
izen's house, who was "a years Of age,
and who had never visited any other
place than Greenville. Nevertheless
he was a cautious old man, and before
the wild Woodmen Of the World
reached his premises he took the pre-
caution to remove his we'll rope from
the we'll in order to make sure that it
should not accidentally be removed on
that solemn occasion. Why he should
have thought that those good Wood
men would carry away his well rope
is something that the old man alone
can explain. Woodmen are supposed
to use axes and not ropes. Perhaps
he hid his axe, also. No report was
made on that subject.
