MAY HIRE A MAN.
Iowa Woman suffraeists Think Male
LOBBYIST Best.


Des Moines, H. Oct. 30.--It Is prob
able that the state convention of equal
suffragists now in session at the First
Baptist church will employ n man
lobbyist" to work for suffrage in the
next and succeeding legislatures When
the recommendation was urged by Mrs.
Adelaide Billiard of Hull. the president
of the state society. yesterday, it was
received I'm silence by the delegates, but
afterwards it was discussed freely.
Much Favorable comment was heard,
although some criticized on the ground
that it would be urged that suffrag-
lists, after all, have TO depend on men
in public affairs.
The lobbying for suffrage has been in
the hands of women from the beginning
Of the society. Mrs. Alice S. Longley
Of North Sixth avenue in Des Moines
was perhaps the most successful of the
legislative workers. doing work which
lifted suffrage out of the ridicule stage
and making 1t a subject of serious con-
sderatlon by every legislature for
twelve or fourteen years. Mrs Evelyn
III. Belden was remarkably successful
in later legislatures, having had charge
of the work In the assembly which met
in 1900. Miss Daisy leighton of Shen-
andoah was at the head of this depart
ment In 1902. and the suffrage amend
ment received large vote.
1t is the theory of the ladies that a
man might have better success in gain
Ing access to the ears of legislators. In
the legislature In which Mrs. Longiey
had charge of the work five days were
devoted to public debate. In later days
the assembly has disposed of the ques-
ton either without debate or with but
one or two speeches. 1t is hoped man
lobbyist" as he is designated by Mrs.
Ballard. might be able to induce the
assembly again to spend more time In
consideration of the suffrage project,
thus making 1t a legislative feature on
which will be focused the eyes of all the

Of the district has rendered an opinion
in which he holds that churches which
is customary to rent for the purpose
of giving lectures and entertainments

The opinion was given in reply to the

We're engaged in unfair competition
With him, inasmuch as they We're in

Tacoma, Wash. Oct. Colt will take a
hundred years or more of hard work and
the expenditure of hundreds of thousands
of dollars to civillZc southern China.
This statement is made by Henry w.
Huntzell, II Methodist Episcopal mission
airy sent out by the Chicago mission two
years ago to the Chosong station, in
southern China. He is now on his way
back to Chicago on account of ill health.
I'm southern China murder is as fire.
quent as your meals, and 1t is called Gus
tom instead of crime. Natives have little
or no moral law There is marriage
law. but 1t Is only for the protection OF
male inhabitants. a southern Chinese
woman, once married to man, can never
desert him. A man can have as many
wives he likes.
Slave traffic Is rampant in all parts
of the southern provinces. Fathers dis
pose of their daughters and wives In the
same manner rs in this country we dis
pose of live stock. Notwithstanding
these conditions. within three years since
our mission was opened, we have made
26O converts and our meetings are we'll at.
