CHALLENGED TO DEBATE.

Clara Belle Brown, Dies Moines, Iowa
Dear Madam: My attention has been
called to your presence in the state fol
the purpose of defeating the submission
of the question of equal suffrage to the
people by the legislature of Iowa at its
coming session. The first announcement
of your mission In this state / treated
as press inaccuracy: afterward learn
ing that you were actually here, / ther
inferred that your contemplated work
was misapprehended by the public. AT
last, however. was compelled to believe
that woman of culture and high moral
standing has been found in this new
century, when womanhood is being
emancipated from her inequalities, So
ctally and politically, to stand in the
way of progress and higher civilization
by the obstruction of a right, divineiy
suggested and humanely needed, at this
critical hour of our national develop
ment
l am not yet fully convinced of your
intent to defeat this new hope of woman
for the better protection of herself and
offspring aa we'll as the higher develop
ment of the race.
Assuming, however. that you believe
you position to be perfectly defensible
and desiring to fully test your sincerity.
I want to make the following PROPOSE
tion in the interests Of the true merits
cf the issue: 1 hereby offer to pay all
the expenses for an opera house in the
city of Des Moines where joint debate
may be held for two successive evenings
en- the following question:
Resolved. That the interests of the
women of Iowa will be better protected
by the defeat of the proposition to sub
NIT to the people the question Of equal
suffrage
If you have perfect confidence in your
position l am convinced of your ability
TO ably defend your conviction of right,
and being an equally enthusiastic advo-
cate of this question, / herein invite you
ta divide the time, equally, with me for
two evenings in February, 1902, each
speaking twenty minutes and alternat-
ing three times during the evening.
do not consider personal attack ar
gument but fair debate is honorable,

INFRINGEMENT in RURAL SCHOOLS.

The movement in favor of the consol-
idation of country schools for the pur-
pose of improving them and enlargina
their scope of work is a growing one
The late school teachers meeting en-
| dorsed and commended 1t and other
forces are urging it. We find the fol-
lowing in the Decatur County Journal,
| a we'll written plea for consolidated
schools:
| Surprising as has been the growth
and development of our country dur
ing the past twenty years still greater
and more practical improvements may
| be expected in the next twenty years to
come. Among those improvements will
be free mail delivery, good roads, and
the advancement of country schools by
the consolidation of districts and the
! transportation of pupils. Free mail
delivery is already here and has come
to stay. The other improvements soon
will follow.
When country schools are improved
so that they are the equals of the city
schools in efficiency one great cause
of dissatisfaction with farm life will be
accomplished thru consolidation OF
schools and transportation of pupils.
The farmer is entitled, right at his home,
| to the same efficient school facilities
enjoyed by the resident of the city, and
he can have them, provided he will
keep pace with the spirit of progress
and demand them.
| Wherever the system of consolida-
1 nd fro,n
has been tried 1t has worked success
fully. 1t has lessened the expenses and
given to the community the advantages
of good school. Many states have
commenced to consolidate their schools
and notably the state OF Ohio. In
Geauga county. for example, fine
building was erected in the center of a
township large enough to accommo-
date all the children. The children are
transported to the building and the
school is equal to the best to be found in
the city. 1t tends to dispel isolation
and makes country life more charming
than ever.
The Journal would like to see the new
system tried in Eden township in this
county. That township has eight
school houses, and most of them are in
poor condition and of little value A
school building could be built in the
center of the township large enough to
accommodate all the pupils. The
school should be graded and could be
made as efficient as any in the county.
Such a school would be more efficient,
more comfortable for the children, and
less expensive in the long run than the
present way. The best men in the
nation have come from the rural dis
tricts and after all the best place to
educate them is in the country.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

that Congressman Loud would better

Westward the star Of finance takes

Advocate.
In regard to Senator Hoar's sugges-
tion of an island for anarchists, where
they could disturb nobody, the Traer
Star-Clipper asks: How would Green
land do? They could possibly acquire
cool judgment there"
Coon Rapids Enterprise: One of the
speakers at the State Teachers Associa-
ton advocated a law that would make it
a penal offense for boys under 10 years
to smoke cigarets. The habit is a most
injurious one, but it is doubtful If such
drastic law would do any good. The
parents would make great protest
against their boys being made criminals
and placed in Jail.
The Laurens Sun would like to see
every newspaper in the state make a
stand for three official newspapers in
every county in the state, and get the
representatives and senators from their
districts to favor such plan" 1t urges:
LET there be one official paper in the
county seat town, and the other two in
opposite ends of the county, and these
three papers be selected by the board
of supervisors according. to the location
of the papers and for the best interest

A PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED.

Congress reassembled today and is
now ready for active work. 1t is ex-
pected that a number of very important
pieces of legislation will be adopted at
this session. There are other important
matters that may prove TO be puzzle
not easily solved. One of these is the
problem of reciprocity in trade relations.
While there is a well-defned sentiment
: in favor of reciprocity among republic
ans, there is very vague and hazy I'M
derstanding Of the subject when it
comes to the matter of details. The re-
cent national reciprocity convention that
was expected to develop an outline for
liberal action proved to be disappoint-
irg, its declarations being in favor of
such restricted action that they were lit
tie more than expressions in favor of
protection along every line that pro-
tested againsct letting down of tariff
bars.
1t is noteworthy that the New York
chamber of commerce last week adopted
resolutions condemning the action of the
reciprocity convention "as subversive of
all attempts to bring about closer trade
relations with our sister nations and to
open newer and wider markets for our
products" Further, the chamber
viewed with apprehension the policy
advocated by the reciprocity convention
as likely to invite hostile legislation on
The part of other nations against this
country, to the great detriment of its
commercial interests" This is not alone
the view of the body named. but it is one
widely shared in by others.
The reciprocity problem is now at the
door of congress inviting practical solu-
ton. Senator Cullom, of the foreign re-
lations committee, said the other day
that his committee would take the sub
ject up at once, tho there was no we'll
defined plan to be considered. He did
not know what the views of the other
members Of this committee were, but in
Gieated that they were friendly to reci-
eprocity. It is plain that due regard
for public sentiment demands that
something be accomplished in this direc-
