THE QUESTION OF
FEMALE SUFFRAGE

CantOnment, Fla, Aug. II, 1908.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Allow me the space to defend both
the women of Florida and of the United
States of America, against the verbose
attack of a Jacksonville divine, who
only presents ignorance and verbosity
as his reasons for ''wOman's suf-
fTage-'
1t is very apparent that he never
learned the trufsm of moral, as well
as divine philosophy. Thou shalt not
foul the fountain out of which you
drink" Because he pours filth in
JeffeFsOnian democracy, puts me ladies
of Florida below the negro slave of
ante-belium days, and degraded crima-
nails of to-day, he asserts that, She
IS the greatest power in the world in
moulding the character of our young
people who are so corrupt that their
stream of tuTbid waters give forth a
stencil of pUtrifactiOn that is both OBJ
nOxious and Unbearable to decent peo-
pie! Then he makes Florida ladies as
voters filter box" to cleanse this
filthy stream and restore II to the
purity IL possessed in the days of JEFF
fersOn!" When fathers, husbands.
brothers and sons did the voting while
the ladies' set the fashion of genteel
popularity of christian mothers and
wives at their homes
In his statement: she is the great
est power in the world III moulding
character of our young people" he be-
lieveS the truths of christianity of
which he is prOfessed Baptist Minis
ter and Pastor, and thus he under
mines the very plea that he advocates
and he puts woman just where chris
tianity and law, both civil and polite
say that woman shall never be.
Geiger (Gei-ger) is unfortunately
Dutchman. The old pTOverb. An
Irishman is allowed to speak twice,
a Dutchman can speak until he is I'M
derstoOd Is needed again just now
GeigeT's father, the State Baptist
Evangelist, in a missionary sermon de-
livered in Pensacola, on Sunday night
the first Sunday in June 1906, stated
that Florida was threatened with the
Yellow Plague" and as christianity
had failed to reach them. our only
hope was to kill and eat the Chinese
and Japanese as fast as they came to
Florida, or they would kill and eat
u.s.
Fifty years ago, while in Howard
College I repudiated German theology
in disgust, and now say. God help the
Baptist church that has Dutchman
TO preach for her! Geiger's theology
that a party of women can reclaim
men from the unbearable stencil of
qualification and corruption believes
both the Gospel of the Son of God
and his own oath of office as a Bap-
fist Minister. The Gospel teaches
there is no name under heaven by
which men can be saved but Jesus the
Son of GOd-ImmanueI God with us

Every Democrat
Should Answer Call.

The democrats of EScambla county
will gather tonight at the court house
in Pensacola for the purpose of organ
izing a Bryan and Kern club Every
loyal democrat in the county should at
tend. There is work to be done, and
no man should lag in his duty.
There is of course no doubt but that
the democrats will carry Escambia,
but more is desired than merely a
majority rousing campaign and a
big vote. This can be had only by or
ganiZation and the meeting tonight is
TO provide a suitable organization to
carry on the work
One of the most important objects
of this organization will be the coIlec-
ton of campaign contributions The
democratic party has pOintedly told
the corporatiOnists that it wants none
of their money, that the democratic
party is of and for the people and that
the people will wage the fight against
monopoly and privilege. To conduct
the campaign money is necessary, and
the leaders of the party have called
upon the loyal rank and file 10 aid, and
from the results so far, has called not
in vain. for the common peoples mite
has been offered freely and gladly TO
help in the election of the peoples
candidate. William Jennings Bryan.
Escambia county democrats will not
| be Iaggards, The Journal feels sure,
| in the duty that they owe the party.
Every democrat in the county who can
should be present at the meeting to-
night, and from the country towns
there should be representatives OF
eacn and every precinct in Escam-
bia.
A good organization viii bring out a
heavy vote on November 8, but what
is more important, will procure cam
paign contributions that are at present
so necessary in the great fight that is
being carried on in the doubtful states
in the middle west
Let Escambia county lead Florida
with it's Bryan and Kern club. If not
in number let's make it up in enthus-
iasm and real party service by obtain
ing liberal contributions to carry on
the democratic campaign which is so
dependent upon the aid of the rank and
file.

terestS that Mr. VanCleave- He urges

when that betterment affects the in

of which he is president.
There has been some doubt express

working men of the country in the
coming election. That doubt should
no longer assist VanCIeave has ad-

Mr.. VanCleave
and Mr.. Bryan.

Mr. VanCleave's recent utterances
against Mr. Bryan and the democratic
party, will serve as a boomerang
against the association of which Mr.
VanCleave is president, if Mr. Van
Cleave expects to accomplish the de-
feat of the Great Commoner by his
vitrolic remarks.
Ii will be recalled that at the an
nual meeting of the manufacturers
association a few months ago. Presi-
dent VanCleave gave voice to this
sentiment: The members of that as
ISOLATION must carry their fight into
the states and procure from state
legislatures similar favorable legisIa-
ton as they have procured from con-
gress, and that lobbyists should be
sent out by the association to do this
work
In other words Mr.. VanCleave de-
clared for the corruption of legisIa-
lures to obtain laws favorable to the
association's interests, and to kill such
measures as might be considered IN
favorable to the manufacturers in the
interest of the people.
Now, VanCleave enters upon TRADE
against Bryan and the platform upon
which Mr.. Bryan stands. He argues
against the election of the ticket be-
cause the Interests viii suffer, be-
cause those who have enjoyed special
privileges under the republican ad-
ministratiOn for the past twelve years
will be sheared of those benefits, and
pleads for the election Of Taft that
these established Interests" be not
disturbed but permitted to continue
to enjoy the fruits of their privileges.
This very opposition TO Bryan
proves the contentious of democracy

has fathered trusts. combines. abRor-
NAL business, and has cared for its
children well. There is no man today

In Dallas county, Alabama, which
includes the city of Selma. and con-
1ains population of about 10000. the
school census just completed shows
and that 1882 are negroes while only
ISIS are white. While the taxpayers
in that county are putting up the funds
TO educate 2.5fS white children, they
are educating 1889 negroes in the
common schools. The presumption is
that the adult white population bears
about the same proportion to the black
as does the children of each race.

About Marriage
and Divorce,

There is one thing We can depend
upon to occur almost daily-a suit
| in divorce If there was less pos
sibiIity and more trouble to obtain
divorce there would be far less
| trouble and domestic differences in
this country 1t is now just about
as easy to get divorced as it is TO
marry, and that is no trouble at
all--Miami Metropolis.
The conditions complained of By
the Metropolis are all too prevalent
everywhere in this country; but what
is the remedy? The Metropolis
thinks with a multitude of others that
divorces are too easily obtained and
that, if people once married, were
hedged about with obstacles will nigh
insUTmountable, when the notion
struck them to unmarry they would
soon become recOnciIed to the in
evitable, smooth over their differences,
and become recOnciled it not salts
fed with their situation That situa-
ton would then pass in the social sys-
tenn as the average of marital happi-
ness. or at least it would suffice to
satisfy the demands of society.
On the other hand there are many
who clam that when the marriage
relation has become dista- tefuI to one
or both parties directly concerned.
there should be neither dishonor nor
serious obstacle to the severance of
the matrimonial tie, and that each
should be accorded the right to seek
q moro cODCpuiaJ alliance
This is a question that has received
the most serious attention of law
makers and philosophers in all civil
lized nations of the world for centu-
ries and seems TO be no. nearer a soIu-
ton now, nor in fact as near, than
it was two thousand years ago.
The church set out to enforce the
dictum What God has Joined to-
gether let no man put asunder'' and
if it could be demonstrated that in
those countries where this dictum is
most strictly lived up to and complied
with soeial conditions were better
than in countries where marriage is
more easily contracted and divorce
more easily obtained, then it would
seem that there should be no furth-
er chance for argument or disagree
ment over the questions
With the history and example of
the whole civilized world before them
our American lawmakers have given
us what seemed to them the best laws
regarding marriage and divorce and
it is observable that the tendency of
the times in all the states is toward
greater HbeTality and less restrictions
in both marriages and divorce.
Some better plan than the one now
existing may sometime be discovered.
but the situation as we can see it
about us is the best we know of now.
In Japan with her civilization antedat-
ing ours by many centuries they don't
allow widows to ever marry. That
may be a satisfactory social regulation
to the Japs but it would not take
in this country with our ideas of
right, justice, and personal liberty, at
all.
