New Years Missionary Meeting.

According to her annual custom,
Mrs. Burmeister- invited the Metho-
dist missionary society to meet with
her for the January session. Devo-
tons were succeeded by a brief
study of medical missions. We
learned that there are now $50 med
ical missionaries, one-half sent by
America. The Presbyterians stand
first in this good work, and the
Methodists second. The paganworld,
like Oliver Twist, want more" for
at present there is one capable doc
tor for every 2, 500, 900 persons. Ac-
cording to that ratio the whole of
the United States should have just
IS doctors to heal its ailments.
Mrs. Little, on behalf Of the Mar
shall district, secured pledges from
the members that they would spend
a definite time in prayer, for a
higher spiritual life and more in
tense missionary zeal in the hearts
of the young people. Mrs. Gold
stated the desire of the society that
every auxiliary make a pledge now
for the silver offering Of the year.
A vote was taken and SIPS pledged.
Mesdames Crimmins and Horr are
the committee in charge.
The new text book for this year,
Gloria Christi, an outline study Of
missions and social progress was
then taken up, and the first chapter

Gains of Nineteen-seyen for Women

! The year 1907 has been signif.
cant one for women and has brought
them more of political freedom
than more persons realize.
Norway granted full parliament
tary suffrage to women.
Sweden made women eligible to
municipal offices.
Denmark gave women the right
to vote for members of the board
of public charities and made them
eligible to serve on such board.
Great Britain made women eli
glble as town councillors, mayors
and aldermen, and at the fall cleo
lions three women were elected
municipal councillors in England and
one in Scotland.
The Cabinet ministers of the Meth
erlands drafted revised constitu-
ton which was approved by the
council of state, and has been placed
before parliament; it provides for
the ballot for women and makes
them eligible to office.
The Young Liberal Party of Ba-
varia voted unanimously to invite
women to join all it's branch So
cleties as soon as the prospective
change takes place in the law of the
empire, which forbids women to be
members of any political association.
In the United States, while there
have been no such important speci-
fic gains, the civil status OF women
has been elevated in various states,
women have been elected to boards
of education in large numbers, and
given other opportunities for great
er service in our municipalities. The
constitution of the new state of
Of Oklahoma provided for school
suffrage for women and made wom-
en- eligible to one state office. The
woman suffrage movement has been
officially endorsed by the American
Federation Of Labor, the National
Grange, the National Letter Car
riers association and by a score Of
other important bodies.

Marshall Democrat News

nidEshhh DemOcfAb news
The correspondent from Marshall to
the Kansas City Post, Jefferson City
Tribune and other papers in the state,
outside OF Saline county, certainly is
entitled to full membership in the
Ananias club. He has wilfully and
knowingly mlsrepresented the facts In
relation to the Folk meeting held in
the city Of Marshall on Saturday, Sep
tember 10.
Those who were here know that
Governor Folk was most heartily well
coined to the city OF Marshall and was
most cordially received by the people
Of Saline county. The statement that
his meeting was frost not only mis-.
represented the facts, but is also a
vile slander against our city and coun-
tY. The individual who would des-
cend TO such diSreputable tactics. for
feits the respect of honest men and
earns and deserves the contempt OF
every one who believes In fair play,
In politics as well as In every other re.
lation of life.
The size Of the crowd that heard
Governor Folks speech has been
variously estimated, but it is a fact
that 1t was equal In size, If not larger,
than any audience that has listened
to political speech in this city dur.
ing the past four years. The willful
Misrepresentation of the facts In this
matter by this anonymous correspon.
dent will nou benefit Senator Stone,
because the voters Of the state believe
in fair play and will not countenance
or tolerate deliberate falsehoods II
the correspondent is Democrat, he
Is proving traitor to his party, be-
cause such statements as he has made
will result In an injury to the party
rather thana benefit to any candi-
date.
The race between Governor Folk
and Senator Stone should be regarded
as contest between Democrats and
the motto Of every Democrat should
be "Tell the truth"

The dinner, prepared BY Mrs. Gard
and Miss Emerson, was all that heart
and soul could wish. The amount
the cooking, the home-way Of serving,
all made US feel that we were In an
ideal American home. Ool. Gard has
one Of the best housewives In the land
and the Colonel knows 1t. Mrs. Cards
pies are the best ever sat before a

there are many young ladies who can
equal Miss Emerson at home or at
school, or even at the piano.
Master Edward O'BrIen and Col.
Gard are arranging to give this COM
munity a real show, 10 cir-cu-ri-ous.l
Master Edward is going to "pitp his
champion buttin billy goat against
Mr.. Cards family dog. The goat is
to be bllndfolded. The Hisey lots in
this city will be leased and 25O-night
Broadway run Is anticipated. Major
Ramsey has consented to be "speeler"
and the attendance will be great. On
the opening night ladies will be ad-
mltted free. AS q special feature w.
]. Bryan's performing mule has been
secured for the entire engagement.
Now, what do you think OF thatP
Major G. b. Ramsey is a superb
gentleman to converse with. He Is .
man well informed on the leading
issues Of the day. He owns a splendid
farm lthe Hedges farm.) As a story
teller, the Major has few equals. Fer
instance, get him to tell the story of
the old German who dictated to
tombstone man the epltaph he want
ed on the monument Of his dead son,
Yakey. The only fault we could find
with Ramsey is, he's on the wrong
side, but is thinking seriously Of com.
ing over on the Lords side, voting for
Bryan. Major Ramsey is soon to be
reader Of the Ledger.
We wish 10 thank especially Miss
