GARFIELD'S PROPHECY
NOW COMING true.
Woman Suffrage Question Be-
ing Agitated More
and More.

Years ago Garfield saw the woman
question looming up on the horizon
larger than the size Of mans hand,
and prediced that "some solution this
question ere long must find" The So
luton may still be far IN the future,
but that it has assumed proportions
larger than any mans hand cannot be
denied. T
In one form or another the question
has been before the 19O6-1907 Legisla-
lures of Indiana, Kansas, Massachu-
sets, Minnesota, Nebraska. New
Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island.
South Dakota, Texas, Vermont and
West Virginia.
1t was debated in the Chicago City
Charter Convention, and was the sub
ject which aroused the most feeling
in the Constitutional Convention of
Oklahoma.
The California Legislature has just
voted in favor of full suffrage for
women by a vote of 10 to Is in the
Senate and AZ to % in the House.
Many organizations of women had pc
titioned for the measure, and four out
of the five political parties had put a
woman suffrage planks in their State
platforms.
A few days ago it was the subject
of debate in the Italian Chamber of
Deputies and at about the same time
the Labor Party of the United King
dom in conference at Ballast, Ireland.
adopted resolutions favoring the ex-
tension of the franchise to adult men
and women.
The movement has so far progress
ed in England that the editor of the
North American Review says, That
women will vote at the next general
election in Great Britain may now be
accepted as a virtual certainty"

her representation in the House this
winter. We have never doubted for
a moment the result of the investiga-
lions by the Court of last resort. AL
though we must admit that 1t had
begun to look as though the decision
might be delayed too late to affect
the coming election. Under the de-
cision the act of 1906 is declared void
and, unless the Governor calls spe
cial session of the Legislature to en-
act new law redistricting the State.
the coming election will be held under
the act of 1898. This act is also un-
constitutional, for the same reasons
assigned for setting aside the late
one. Under 1t more than two tcom
ties are Joined to form one district,in
several instances.
For the righting of the Infamous
wrongs, sought to be perpetrated un-
der the act just smashed by the Court
of Appeals, no one deserves more
credit than Senator Bennett. He has
labored almost constantly for year
to get these cases properly presented,
and his services will be remembered
in the future by his party, and those
who have regained their politi
cal rights, through his efforts. The
Court of Appeals has demonstrated
that it can rise above partisanship-
that kind of partisanship run to seed
in Kentucky under the Beckham re-
gime, and which has upon more than
one occasion shown a ready willing
ness to trample the sacred rights of
the people, constitution and all, un-
der foot to accomplish the ends of
vauting ambition.

BRYAN AND STATES RIGHTS

The South still maintains that it
favors the old doctrine of States
rights yet il stands ready to accept
Mr.. Bryan, who has advanced the most
radical plan for Capitalization of pow
er in the National Government owner
ship OF railroads. We sometimes hear
Democrats in the South talking about
making an issue out of States rights,
and we wonder how Mr.. Bryan would
look on that kind of platform. Yet
that would be no more inconsistent
than some things they have done.
They advocated and secured the en-
actnent of National quarantine law
They did not fear an extension of the
power of the Federal Government,
when in the midst of terrible yell
low fever epidemic, the National Gov
eminent was asked to take charge.
The South wants the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers deepened, so as to admit
ocean steamers. Not by the States,
but by the Federal Government. There
seems to be no fear of the Federal
Government. when it comes to accept
ing money for internal improvement.
BY all means put Mr.. Bryan, with his
government ownership scheme, on a
platform demanding States rights.

One Clarence James in an article,
headed West Kentucky State Normal

laments the fact that there are so
few Ohio county people attending that
school. There are several reasons why
other counties exceed Ohio in number
of pupils in attendance at West Ken
lucky State Normal School. We men,
ton two. One is, Ohio county has as
good high schools as are found in
Western Kentucky, Western Kentucky
State Normal School not excepted.
Another is, nearly every other county
in Western Kentucky has ten,and some
twenty free scholarships in the State
Normal to bestow upon its sons, while
Ohio county by reason of the recent
Legislative gerrymander, has only five.
All else being equal Ohio county peo-
pie prefer to attend school at home,
which they are now doing and which
accounts for so few at the Western
