The average man is distinctly grow
ing weary of the noisy and Incorporate
agitation of a Few women for the COR
rection of some imaginary wrongs Of
the female sex and for the establish
ment OF some purely hypothetical
rights.
1t is calculated to dissatisfy some
wholesome. and happy women, and dis
turb a civilization With which there is
nothing materially the matter.
The agitation is a half century old,
for incessant complaints against men
and a continuous depreciation of the
male sex both in the matter OF Its NOR

1t is time now that some reciprocal
frankness OF expression should be ex-
hibited to the ladies. And this not
necessarily fattering, but essentially
for information.
The advocates of woman suffrage are
making several serious mistakes.
First Of all, they should understand
that men who hold the decision will
never be willing to grant woman equal
suffrage. until woman shows a more
united front in asking for it. 1t is "a
comparatively small proportion of the
sex who are engaged i'm the present
agitation. 1t Is freely stated and gen.
orally believed that the number of
women who oppose suffrage is vastly

those who deny his are demagogues.
daily with the dishrag OF political pos
sibility, The first crusade OF the suf-
fragists should be among their own
sex.
So long as the feminine majority OPP
poses the new movement 1t Is simply
folly to ask men to give woman what
woman does not want.
And men canno be blinded into con-
fusing a minority OF agitators with "A
majority of voters.
The present agitation is also too
fierce. 1t will react upon itself. Half
Its energy is expended in abuse of men.
The present aggressive movement of
the women seems to recognize nothing
good in men. Men are failures every
where-failures in all the relations OF
life, public and private, and "slave
wives" fairly blossoming into misery
out of comfortable and normal condi-
lions, are supplemented by newborn
Vtragoes openly urging physical vio-
lence In the prosecution of the suffrage
cause"
This is dangerous ground for woman.
The sharp rivalries of the sexes in
the ordinary avocations of life have re-
Gently brushed away much of the chiv-
alric glamour which enshrined the
woman, and street cars n ele-
vators tell the story of the famil-
iarity which has de%bilitated knight

giant is to speak for the sex in this new
evangel, there will surely be found

Taft's Double in House.

Visitors to the Senate gallery often
mistake Senator Paynter, of Kentucky,
for President Taft. The senator isn't
by a good deal. as large as the presi-
dent, but his figure is remarkably sim
liar, his head is OF like shape, and he
wears a blond mustache that could be
exchanged for that of the presidents
without the difference being observed.
He also carries a fine counterfeit of the
Tafe smile on his rubicund counte-
nance.
Senator Paynter has served several
terms in the House of Representatives,
resigning from the house once to run
for judge Of the Kentucky court Of APP
peals. After serving on hat bench for
a number Of a ne resigned to prac-
tice law, and later accepted another
election to the court of appeals, again
resigning the place to make the race
for United States senator. His pref
erence for judicial pursuits has been
strikingly like that of Judge Taft,
whose real ambition it was long ago
to get to the supreme court OF the
United States. But Paynter was drawn
away from a judicial career by the lure
of the Senate, Just as Taft was in
duced to give up his judicial ambition
in order to become candidate for pres.
tdent.

The United States in 2ooe.

Henry Paradyne in Harper's Weekly.
What Will be the destiny Of the
United States?
The answer to his can be supplied
Immediately by a comparison With the
Roman empire. The ablishmeent OF
.constantinople as the capital of the
East, and the Eastern empires a
ton from Rome, are parallel in the
story of the American revolution. We
may look. then, for a progressive de-
cline in the strength of England, in in
Verse ratio to our W increasing pow
CT; Australia, already American in her
political organization. will gravitate,
with Canada, into the union; finally
English speaking peoples will be re-
united under American auspices. That
is as far as we can look forward leRiti-
mately.
America will be absorbed in the solu-
ton of her social problems. Democ-
racy, which has never really existed,
will be coming into its own; and with
it's advent will disappear the comedy
OF representative government which,
tried out through several centuries in
the classical world, and found wanting,
is destined to receive it's coup de grace
upon American soil.
The battle OF socialism will be upon
us, TO be solved, probably after some
illumination Of common sense. The
loose, h~aphazard productive methods Of
today, and our costly and faulty man
ner OF distribution, will nave to be or
ganized to prevent their complete
breaking down.
The solution of this tremendous
problem, which will be precipitated by
the sudden failure OF foreign markets
when manufacturing and prohibitory
tariffs are universal in all countries.
will occupy our attention for at least
a century to come.
BY the year 2009. therefore, no rad
changes will have occurred upon
the map OF the new world.

In the arguments before the court

because the county courts duties in
the matter were only ministerial.
Judge Mason held that the notice is
specifically required by statute and
that the court had no right to waivs

decision, II such notice was necessary
to authorize the court to act and
the court acted without notice, a IL
