WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

What is suffrage1 The intelligent
expression Of an opinion in regard
to principles, measures, and men;
and the essence of suffrage is ration
al choice.
Are women capable of forming
an intelligent opinion? Are they
capable OF rational choice1 IL so,
under our republican form of gov
eminent, they have the moral right
to vote. III governments derive
their just powers from the consent
OF the governed" women who are
governed, who are American citizens
in state and nation, have right to
give that consent, and the only form
of consent known in republic is
the ballot.
But women are needed in govern
ment because women arc unlike
men. They are class of citizens,
and government by men alone is
class legislation--always imperfect,
always unjust.
In some qualities men are superior
to women; in others women are
superior to men. Every class that
votes makes itself felt in the govern
ment in the direction Of its own
qualities and interests.
Women on the average are more
peaceful and gentle, more temperate,
more chaste, more economical, and
more law-abiding than men. When
they vote, these qualities will be
felt in legislation, and they are the
very qualities in which our govern.
ment is defective.
Our present government has in 1t
all the masculine qualities. Add
those Of women, and the result will
be government Of the people, for
The people, and by the people.

The miners at Tunnelton seem to
like injunctions after all. They
raised great howl about it this
summer when thoy were tied up for
three months and hardly dared to
breathe the air up there for fear of
arrest. The Democrats warned the
people in the last campaign about
the danger of injunctions, and de-
clared against it in their platform,
but the miners paid no attention to
the matter till they got good dose
of it this summer, and they howled
and kicked, and still 60 and vote
the Republican ticket again this
time by an increased majority right
at Tunnelton. So that it makes no
difference hereafter what the party
OF trusts and injunctions does to
them, they will not be entitled to
any sympathy or consideration.

The champion Prohibitionist of
the State lives in this county. 1t is
reported to us on reliable authority,
and in fact the fellow tells it him
self, that he has always been a Re-

doubtful this time, and the Repub-
lican managers, in order to get him
In line, promised him FIVE gallons of
whiskey to use for campaign pur.
poses. He got the liquor all right
and drank it up himself and then
voted the straight Prohibition ticket.
IL ne is not entitled to the belt, we

drink FIVE gallons Of Republican
campaign liquor and then vote the
Prohibition ticket, certainly takes
the cake.

The Title To Panama Canal Property

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 1000
AS the election approaches Dem
ocratic confidence increases and the
Democratic politicians who fit
through Washington every day are
elated with hope of success. Chair
man Criggs said today, IL have no
doubt of the election of Demo
cratic House. Three months ago
il looked like plain sailing for the
Republicans. Every week since the
campaign opened however, Demo-
cratic faith has strengthened and
Republican faith has weakened.
The Republican managers claim
the House but by very narrow
margin, indeed, and many intelli.
gent Republicans admit doubt as to
the result. The Democrats are
wide awake and alert. The Re
publicans are apathetic and inert,
this according to the statements of
their own campaigners. Gerry
Wandering by Republican legisla-
lures, such as has never been seen
before, promises to gain no advant-
age for that party but on the other
hand will help our cause.

We are little late in issuing our
paper this week on account of the
election. Not because we got too
full over it, but because we have
been trying to get some returns and
figures on the result, and the more
returns and figures we get, the less
they suit us, and we are sorry now
we waited at all, and il we had it all
to do over again and in our hands,
We wouldn't hold any election at all.
The whole business is humbug
anyhow and we are going to
"gather up our doll rags and go
homc," and the next man who says
election to us takes his life in his
own hands.

over the county that the ARGUS did
not reach many points last week at

the ID. l.. & w. Ry., said that he

ton OF treaty with Colombia.
Such a treaty is made extremely
difficult by provisions In the canal
bill undoubtedly inserted for that
purpose. The bill provides for alb
solutc and perpetual sovereignty
over the zone of land through which
the canal will pass. This, accord
ing to the Colombia constitution,
cannot be granted. 1t was pointed
out to Mr.. Spooner that such was
the constitution of the United
States of Colombia at the time he
drafted his bill but he would take
no heed. Colombia offers lease
for 100 years with the privilege of
renewal Tor another 100 years, but
that is not according to the canal
bill and there must be either a
change in the Columbian constitution
or further Congressional legislation
here, an end which the opponents
of any canal desire, as it will give
an opportunity for postponing fur
ther action, in the interests of the
railroads. 1t may be said that the
United States can force Colombia
to accept its terms or else build the
canal by way of Costa Rica and
Nicaragua butin the latter instance
the same obstacle would be met.
None of the countries canbarter

The voters had lots OF trouble
with the Constitutional Amendments
and at least half Of them did not un-
derstand how to vote or what the
amendments were for and many did
not know what "For Ratification"

handed in these ballots without
scratching them in any way or

on Wednesday. October IS, 1909,
at two O'Clock in the afternoon, j.:
Slidell Brown, OF Kingwood, w.
Va, and Miss Stella Maud Parsons,
of Morgantown, ". Va. The cere-
mony was solemnized by Rev. X. M.
Jefferys, pastor of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of that city. The
bride is daughter of Capt. J. w.
Parsons of Morgan,own, formerly
OF Rich Mountain, Randolph coun-
ty, who has been in California and
the Klondike the past three OF four
years, and the family moved to
Morgantown in order tina. the chill.
dren, two boys and two girls. could
enter the University. Both boys
are Captains in the Cadet Corps
and officers in the National Guard.
The groom has been running at
large SO long and is SO we'll known
that we have nothing to say of him,
except that he is running one of the
best papers in the State, and the
price is only one dollar per year,
cash in advance, and now is a good
time to subscribe.
Just for fun the contracting par
ties concluded to keep their mar
riage secret for awhile, and ar.
ranged with the clerk not to put the
license on record for ten days and
with the minister not to make the
return for ten days. The bride was
here keeping house for us a week
before anyone knew Of it for sure,
but as the secret is out now, we
concluded to ''fess up" and tell the
truth about it. We fooled the old
women Of the town completely and
they are mad over it, so we have the
joke on them as we'll as the boys.
