THEWOMAN ONTHE PEDESTAL

Ia a recent number OF CuLIrt'.
Weekly, Richard Harding Davi,
gives a vivid description e IA,
Yoshlwara of Toxic, aud picwre s.
for us THE Ladies of the Go Iro
Screens, Gagged behind bars of non
like wild beasts. He wonders how
nation can advance as Japan is
advancing when its women hold so
low and insecure a place"
"The American" he says" is
used to placing his women folks on
a pedestal" All, yes So he is.
In many States today women are
still standingon the pedestal of the
old English Common Law. Their
property belongs 10 their husbands
even the clothes they wear are not
their own in the eyes of the law.
They cannot buy and sell as single
women can. Their husbands and
they cannot make will.
We place our women on pedestals
by opposing their higher education,
debarring them fiom the learn ed
professions and RELOCATING them to
the kitchen and the nursery. There
are but nine States in the Union in
which married mother has any
right to the custody, care and nur-
ture" OF her own child. In the
rest of The States mothers stand on
a pedestal and fathers have the
legal righ, to manage The entire life
of their children; even t. removing
them wholly from the "cns,1Iy.
care and nurture" Of the mother.
In the rest of the States women
are denied all participation in the
affairs OF the government undo
which they live, and they stand on
very lofty pedestal along with
idiots, minors, lunatics aud cfimi
nails.
A pedestal IS good place for a
statue, buI q very poor place for a
live woman. Her place is on the
common earth, side by side with
man, sharing his responsibilities.
his privileges and his rights. This
is the sort Of pedestal to which
women are slowly and surely climb
ing.

The CORPORATIONS CANDIDATE

Postmaster Samuel b. Montgom
cry, OF Tunuelton. is the candidate
of the antiIax reformcrs aud corpo
rations for the State Senate for the
Fourteenth Senatorial District. MIR.
Montgomery enjoys a lucrative po
sition to-day as postmaster AT a
salary of SIoo per month. Not con
tented with this, he desires to mo
noPolize every Office within the gift
OF his party to the detriment of
other worthy young men in his party.
One would suppose that a man who
had been honored by his party with
political office worth S1oo per
month would be satisfied and willing
to assist some worthy party worker
to secure a like position. Not so
with Samuel b. He has allied him
self with the corporation element of
his party, and they have inflated
him with his greatness. Possessed
OF his belief he is a bitter and unre
Ient;ng Anti FAX Reformer, and pro
claims the fact that he is proud Of
1t. No one for his ability fought
harder against tax reform than Sam
b. Montgomery. THE ARGUS rec
ognizes the right Of Mr.. Montgomery
to oppose tax reform. That is his
right and privilege, and The ARGUS
is glad to know that Mr.. Mont
gomery has placed himself squarely
on the anti-tax reform platform.
This being the case, no tax reformer
can excuse himself for voting for
Mr.. Montgomery for the State Sen
ate on theplea that he did not know
how Mr.. Sam Montgomery stood
on the tax issue. Mr.. Montgomery,
if elected to the Senate, is pledged
TO cast his vote against tax revision.
Is this the kind of representative
the farmers and workingmen want
to represent them in the Senate
No man can serve two masters at
the same time. Sam Montgomery
being allied with the money power,
must Of necessity vote the way they
dictate. THE ARGUS is not finding
fault with Mr.. Montgomery because
he has selected to cast his lot with
the monopolies, but THE ARGUS
does want to warn the farmers and
workmen that if Mr.. Montgomery is
elected Senator, that they cannot
entertain one hope that Mr.. Mont.
gomery will cast one vote for legis-
lation in the interest of the common
people.
Why2 many may ask. The rea-
son is this: The issue has been
squarely made, and it is this: The
legislation which is in the interest oil
the corporations, unfortunately, J..
detrimental to the interest Of The
people. 1t does not require learned
man to understand this, but an,
man possessed of ordinary common
sense can fully understand and ap
preclate this fact
1t is with the people to say whelh
er they will elect Mr. Montgomery
to the Senate or to remain at HON,
and lick postage stamps.

RAILROAD PROPOSED.
Fayette Capitalists Talking of
z Building One From Rodney
to Brookhaven.

/
According to the Chronicle, Fay.
ette capitalists are planning to con.
struct a railroad from Rodney
through Fayette and Union Church,
to Brookhaven. The Chronicle
says:
"A prominent citizen and busi-
ness man of Fayette informs the
Chronicle that there is a move on
foot by local people to promote the
building of railroad from Rodney,
via Fayette and Union Church, to
Brookhaven. The projectors in
tend in the near future to visit both
the eastern and western sections of
the county for the purpose Of dis
cussing the matter with property
owners and others and soliciting
subscriptions to stock and dona-
tions of right-of-way, etc.
"The proposed route Of the road
will be along the foot hills from
Rodney to Coles Greek valley,
thence straight to the town Of Fay
cite, thence to Union Church and
Brookhaven by the most direct and
practicable routes. While no survey
has been made thus far the parties
promoting the proposed road have
gone over the route from Rodney
to this place and consider it per-
fectly practicable.
That this road will be a paying
investment must be manifest to all
who consider that it will be the
connecting link between the great
Gould system, a branch of which
now touches St. Joseph, La, just
across the Mississippi River from
Rodney, on the west, and the Mis-
sissippi Central, the Mobile & Kan
sas City and the Illinois Central on
the east.
1.-THE inestimabIe benefits that
would naturally accrue to the coun-
try-at large from ? railroad which
will divide the county in half from
west to east will be appreciated by
all our readers. Rodney with rail-
road facilities would again become
a trading and shipping point of no
mean Importance. Fayette, the
county site, would be of easy ac-
cess to citizens from all parts of
the county, and Union Church
would be built up and become a
town worthy of the splendid agri-
cultural territory which surrounds
it.
"Of course it is easy to build
railroads on paper but this road
can and easily will be built if the
property owners Of the various sec
tions of the county appreciate the
opportunity and encourage its pro-
moters by securing for it subscrip-
tions in stock, concession of right
of-way, etc."
