The Suffrage Bill

The defeat of the woman suffrage
bill was no, u surprise tn any one
who understands public sen iment in
Kansas In all the discussion of the
measure, in the newspapers and in the
legislature, there was not in our
jndSmen II good reason advanced
why the right Of suffrage should not
-he given to women. The opposition
WAS one OF prejudice. aided by an un-
willingness to make radical de-
parIure without a more general desire
on The part of the people for it's adop-
ton The prejudice is deep in the
minds of many men and of many
women against women taking an
active part in public affairs. This
prejudice is fading away in the light
of education and experience hut it is
still there. The theory that-the use of
the ballot wculd drag woman down
from the high position she occupies
in the minds of men is very fallacious,-
but it is popular. The opposite
theory that women would elevate the
character of politics is largely fiction
OF Imagination. Experience has dis
proven both OF these highly moral
theories in the states where woman
vote, and where they have lost not
bit In the respect OF men an6 where
politics is just about as good and
just about as bad as before.
But the fact remains after prejudice
and superstition are laid aside that
there is no reason why a woman does
not have the same moral right to vote
that a man does. and no reason to
think that she would not cast bal
lot as honestly and properly as q
man.
Most public men agree to this
proposition, but many shrink from

NEBRASKA AND BRYAN.
Republicans Exslt over the Rescue
Of the state from Populistic
Tendencies.


The dominant note In the Nebraska
republican platform adopted at Lincoln
is one of rejoicing over the escape Of the
state from Bryan and Organism.
The Nebraska republicans are repub-
Leans. not populists. They are strongly
In favor Of the Roosevelt policies. They
adhere to the protective policy and they
regard the Philippines as American ter
ritory, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
In all these things they antagonize
Mr., Bryan, who for ten years has been
trading on the disappointment and dis
content of the western people. Me-
braska gave Harrison plurality Of 4,079
for president in 1892. In 1894 the popu-
lists united with the democrats and de-
feated the republican candidate for
governor. In 1895 the republicans
elected their candidate for supreme
court judge, but in 1896 the state gave
Bryan plurality Of II, 1886 over McKin-
ley, and the legislature came under the
control of the fusionists.
In 1897 the fusionists carried the state
by plurality of Is, S79. elected their can
didate for governor in 1898 by plural
ity of 2,721, and their candidate for SUI
preme judge In 1899 by plurality of
15,107.
That was the last fusion victory in
Nebraska. In 1900 the people of the
state, with the issue of republicanism
against Organism before them, gave Nc
Kinley plurality of 1922, and elected
republican state officers, and a repub-
lican Legislature. The republicans car
ried the state by 10000 in 1901, and elect
ed the governor in 1902 by plurality of
1856. Nebraska has now republican
state officers and a republican legisla-
ture, and Is represented at Washington
by two republican senator's and four
republicans and one fusionist in the
house.
The contrast between republicanism
and Organism in the state has been very
marked. While the Bryanites, or fusion
lists, were in control of the state gov
eminent and legislature they went to
the extreme of partisanship and dis
gusted many Of their own party by their
childish display of party feeling. The
Bryanites antagonized Nebraska SOL
diers, flouted patriotic sentiment, and
covered the windows of the capitol
with pictures of their candidate for
president. They assumed they were
the state and substituted party spirit for
public policy.
Little wonder is it that the Nebraska
republicans exult over the rescue of the
state from Bryan and Organism

Fish That Cannot swim.

More than one species Of fish is met
with which cannot swim, the most sim
gular of which, perhaps, is the NAL
tina. Brazilian fish. whose organs OF
locomotion only enable It to crawl OF
walk or hop, after the manner of a
toad, to which animal this fish to some
extent bears q resemblance. and II is
provided with long upturned snout
The anterior (pectoral) fms of the NAL
tina, which are quite small. are not
capable of acting on the water, but can
only move backward and forward
Both these and the ventral and anal
fms are very different from the similar
inns in other fishes, ana could not serve
for swimming at all. Other examples
of nonswimming fishes include the sea-
horse, another most peculiarly shaped
inhabitant of the sea, which resembles
the knight in set Of chessmen and
the starfish. Ledger.

An attempt was made by the vir-
ginia station to determine the effect of
wide, medium and narrow rations for
hogs on the relative development of
fat and lean. The pigs used were from
five to nine months old. One lot was
fed on corn meal alone, nutritive ratio
1:9.O5; another on corn meal, bran and
beef scraps. nutritive ratio 1852; a
third on corn meal. cotton seed meal
and beef scraps. nutritive ratio 1:2.35.
All the hogs were fed In pens. Those
fed the narrow ration containing the
cottonseed meal all died In from eight
TO ten weeks. with the usual symptoms
of cottonseed meal poisoning. OF the
other two lots the one receiving bran
and beef scraps. in addition to corn
meal. made Is per cent better gain
than the lot fed corn meal only. Not
the slightest difference in the proper
ton of fat and lean could be detected
In the meat of these two lots of hogs.
