CONCERNING WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Critical Dissertation by = LeadvilIs
kewspaper-Adam W. Eve. and
Apple W. Ounce.

Although Colorado has equal suf-
frase. and II seems to work very sat
isfactorily: that Is to say. It simply
swells the bulk of the grand total:
other states that have not reache d
this blessed condition discuss the mat
ter in a most serious vein. In fact.
the women have already divided
among themselves on the matter. as
a pamphlet on the subject shows q
most respectable array Of distin.
guished ladies who are opposed to fe-
male suffrage.
In the warm conflicts over the sub
ject of late the proposition has been
advanced that as by woman man fell
from his high estate. she has forfeited
all right to become his political equal.
lnasmuch as she gave the apple to
Adam. II is insisted that she must
bear the blame and remain in subjec-
ton to her husband.
The reply to this Is xofold. II Is
claimed by the more liberal wing that
Eve never gave Adam the apple. and
that the whole story Is myth. This
belongs to the realms OF theology. and
we shall not discuss II here farther
than to say that the opinion is a
growing one even in theological semi
naries. But the other question is more
to the poin'. II is claimed that II any
fruit figured in the AFFAIR It must have
been a ounce. one OF the golden APP
pies OF the Hesperides." which have
figured so largely in poetry. There
are some notably brilliant women In
New York who have wrestlcd with
this problem, and who feel that they
are correct In eliminating the apple
and substituting the ounce.
In any event the matter seems of lit
tie Importance to us. II the original
story is to be accepted without other
modification. A serpent may no, have
known the difference between a ounce
and an apple. and the point made that
state is hardly to the point. What We
want To know is whether man once
lived in state OF sinlessness and en-
joyed the kindly fruits Of the earth
without the necessity Of working for
a living. II he did. and the woman
drove him out OF such paradise.
we are against giving her any voice
In political matters. II 1t can be shown
that the apple WAS a ounce. that II
was never eaten. that there was no
serpent and no fall OF man. but rather
that there has been Il constant pro;rcs.
sion from lower to Il higher mental.
moral and spiritual status. then we
will ascribe most OF ine advance to
women and are willing that they shall
have all the power they want. and VIC
concede this the more willingly be-
cause they have II all now.-Leadville

A certain well known politicians

posed to be critical. Most Of his
friends are men OF great wealth. who
live extremely WELL and association
with them has made him somewhat
hard to please In the matter Of cook

What is this meant for he would
ask. after tasting an entree his wife
had racked her brain to think up.
What on earth Is this?" he would
say when desert came on.
rs this supposed TO be salad?" he
would inquire sarcastica!ly when the
lettuce was served.
The wife stood II as long as she
could. One evening lie came home in
particularly captious humor His
wife was dressed In her most becom-
Ing gown and fairly bubbled over with
wit. They went in to dinner. The

MARRIED.
Smith-Fel ler.

The marriage of Miss Bessie Smith,
daughter of d. c. Smith of this city,
and Thomas Feller, of Fort Wayne,
took place Monday evening at o.
clock, on the veranda OF the brides
home in southwest Plymouth, Rev.
Geo. A. Plug officiating.
The veranda was nicely decorated
with ferns and waterlillies. The
brides sister Miss Eva Smith, and
Miss Lottie Suseland acted as brides
maids and Mr. Fred Colvin of Fort
Wayne as best man.
About thirty relatives and friends
were present After the marriage an
elaborate luncheon was served The
brides boquet was caught by Miss
Lura Wilson. The bride being tie
first of the young ladies of the O. n
L. club TO be married, the members
of that club together with their gen.
tleman friends had planned a good
time. The young ladies succeeded in
getting the bride in a cab and drove
TO Albert's Hail. The young men
hand-cuffed Mr. Feller and after some
forcible resistance also succeeded in
reaching the same destination where
a dance was enjoyed.
The newly married couple had
planned to leave for Fort Wayne that
evening but their friends thought
otherwise and they did not go until
this afternoon.
They will make their home at Fort
Wayne where a newly furnished
home has been prepared for them
Mr. Feller is employed on the rail
road at that place.
