ROOF NOTION.

ian speaking OF the belief in woman
suffrage as ga fool notion"
Centuries ago the philosopher
Plato said; ''In the administration OF
state neither a woman as woman
nor man as a man has any special
functions, but the gifts are equally
diffused in both sexes" And an
echo Of Plato's words comes to us
from the greatest men in every age
of the world.
John Quincy Adams, Abraham
Lincoln, Chief Justice Chase and
James A. Garfield believed that the
right of self-governnent belonged
to the women as we'll as to the men
of republic.
Longfcllow, Whittier. Emerson,
George William Curtis, John Stuart
Mill, Thomas Henry Huxley, Theo-
dore Parker, Charles Kingsley and
Phillips Brooks strongly advocated
the same ''fool notion"
Florence Nightingale, Frances
Willard, Mrs. Somerville, Harriet
Martineau, Mrs. Browning, Kate
Field and Louisa Alcott were be-
levers in woman suffrage. So are
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Harriet
Prescott Spofford Abby Marion
Diaz, Frances Power Cobbe and
Milicent Garrett Fawcett.
Senator Hoar, President Jordan
of Leland Stanford University, ex
Secretary Hay, ex-Secretary Long,
Thomas b. Read and President
Roosevelt are few of the many
prominent names that lend prestige
to this "fool notion2" Oh! undoubt-
edly it is. But how many wise peo-
pie there are who believe in it.
This notion is linked with host
of other notions fully as absurd.
Those who believe in the political
equality of the sexes believe that
women should have educational
equality also; that she should have
equal industrial opportunities with
men and equal pay for the same
work.
They believe she should have the
same property rights that men have,
and Kentucky women, for example,
may with profit look back to the
time when husband could collect
a wife's wages and spend them as he
pleased, when marriage gave to
husband all his wife's personal pro-
perty which could be reduced to
possession and the nse of all her
real estate; when the right of cur
tesy and dover were shamefully un-
equal, and when Kentucky enjoyed
the proud distinction of being the
only state in the Union in which
married woman could not make
will.
Where now is all that barbarism?
Swept away like the rubbish it was
by the work of a handful of people
who had the "fool notion" that men
and women ought to be equal in the
eyes of the law
This "fool. notion" has spread I'M
til there is no civilized country where
women have not some form of suf-
frage.
This 'fool notion" is the princi-
pie underlying all of woman's pro-
gress and how strange that in this
land of chivalry such a principle
should be contemporary disn Used
as "fool notion"

Why the Editor OF the Pathfinder is
Not Happy.

The tail-end of the Little Kanawha
Valley railroad passed through Glen
vile yesterday from down below and
as the darkies, carts and other para
phernalia vanished from our view,
we were constrained to murmur:
Twas ever thus; from childhood's
hour
We've seen our fondest hopes decay
We never loved tree or flower
Nor dog nor railroad nor nothing
but what the derned thing died
and passed away.

The scandal in the Postoffice De-
partment has assumed such gigantic
proportions and so much rascality
and corruption is being developed,
that the Republican papers are in
desperate straits 10 explain It and
cover the matter up. They are
offering all kinds of excuses and ex-
plantations. Now they declare it is
all on account of the Civil Service
business and that the rascally officials
are holding appointment under the
Civil Service, instead of the Re-
publican party and they even try to
make out that Machen, the star
rascal is Democaat, when every
one knows that ne was appointed
specially to do dirty work for the
Republican party aud to pay him
for this record in that line during
the campaign.

The Automobile Line organized

A BOOK Is A FRIEND.

A book is written letter to all
unknown friends that one has in the
world. If you buy real book you
have added to your list of friends.
And when you come to know the
writer whose soul is laid bear in his
work, you will find he toiled be-
cause he craved friendship, and that
friendship yours. The men who
make true literature do not toll
merely to make money, or to gain
repu tation.
We are formed more truly from
our books than from our conduct
with men. The humblest of US has
ambitions. The most evil man has
thoughts and aspirations for the
good. But with the people we
meet in our daily life it is their
deepest thoughts about which they
say the least. AS a general thing
they are not well able to formulate
hese thoughts into the words of
common conversation. Yet with
the skill born Of long and tireless
effort, the writer succeeds in setting
forth these very things we have
thought about and vainly tried to
tell. He IS our teacher-one who
does not chide, nor yet excuse, blu,
who counsels the unfortunate and
lends a hand to the fallen.
Those who do not read and can
not travel lead narrow, shut-in lives.
But from books we gain the best the
world contains. BY means of then
