JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS TO

DeArmond concluded with extreme
wisdom, so opinion goes. not to con-
test the Democratic leadership with
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi.
Mr.. DeArmond is grave, retiring and
taciturn. However, he is not at all
retiring when some one is needed on
the Democratic firing line. He went
be the leader this year. and. though
probably his hopes are high, it seems
extremely likely that he won't be the
leader when the Mississippian retires

 In movement of some form ts life. and even ideas grow when the pulses beat and thought quickens. stephen had long had in her mind the idea or sexual equality. For long tune, m deference to her aunt's feelings, sne had not spoken O. 1t; for the oid iaoy winced in general under any sugges- tion of breach of convention But though her outward expression being thus curbed had helped to suppress or minimize the opportunities of inward thought, the idea had never left her. Now when sex was. consciously or unconsciously, q dominating factor In her thoughts, the dormant idea woke 10 new life She had held that If men and women were equal the woman should have equal rights and opportu- mites as the man. It had been. she that such thing as a proposal of mar riage should be entirely the prerogative of man.
 And then came to her, as 1t ever does to woman. opportunity. Opportunity the cruelest most remorseless. most unsparing. subflest foe that woman hood has. Here was an opportunity for her to test her own theory: to prove to herself, and others. that she was right. They--"th ey" being the imper- sonal opponents of. or believers in. her theory-would see that woman could propose as well as man; and that the result would be good. It was time that that old bubble of woman's artificial weakness should be pricked; and hers should be the hand that would do 1t.
 It is a part of self satisfaction. and perhaps not the least dangerous part of 1t. that it has an increasing or multi plying power of it's own. The desire to do increases the power to do: and the desire and power united find new ways for the exercise of strength. Up
