FOR WOMAN'5 RIGHTS
Miss Belle Bennett Says Women Do
Same Work as Men and Should
Have Suffrage.
(Ry Associated Press.l

SAVANNAH, GA, Oct. 1S-"Women
today are doing practically the same
work as men and they ought to be al
lowed the right of suffrage and ought
to have the same privileges in every
Phase of life and thought that men
have"
This was the statement made today
by Miss Belle Bennett, OF Richmond,
KY, president OF the Women's Board
of Home Missions of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, now in con-
vention here.
This goes further than Miss Ben
nets demand that Methodist women
be given all rights of laity in the
church. Phe mission board has given
no further intimation of taking a
stand on the suffrage question, but it
IS being talked about among the dele
gates.
This afternoon the delegates visited
Tybee Island The committee on
memorials framed a memorial to be
presented to the next general confer
ence OF the church petitioning for the
granting of full rights of laity to the
women of the church.
The question Of the broadening OF
women's lives through giving them
added rights is easily the most talked
about subject before the mission
board.

Interesting Account Of Expert
ences In Storm.
(By Associated Press.)


NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-The passen-
gers and part of the crew OF the
Southern Pacific liner Antilles which
ran aground of the southeast coast
of Florida a week ago were landed
here today by the steamship Comas

Among the passengers was Cover
nor Jared Y. Sanders, OF Louisiana,
who gave an interesting account OF
the accident.
We had experienced two days OF
heavy weather" he said. capped on
Monday morning by hurricane in
which observations were impossible.
Neither the captain nor the passens
gers felt much alarm. however, ana
most OF us had retired when, shortly
before midnight Monday the Antilles
struck sandy bottom with a shock
that brought everybody up in min
ute. There was no panic and Captain
Byrnes assured Us after a hasty ex-
animation that the boat was in no
immediate danger. With the constant
splutter of the wireless were were in
formed that news OF our plight was
being sent out.
From Monday night until Friday
we laid in waiting for the relief that
We learned had been sent. For near
ly four days We did not see a sail or
any other signs of life except an &C.
casional sea gull and one fiamingo
which had been caught in the hurri-
cane and was brought on board where
1t died OF exhaustion. With a calm
sea again the passengers beguiled the
time as best they could. The ship
lay in about "a feet OF water. with
her nose nearly three feet in the
shifting sand.
Governor Sanders will remain In
New York until the latter part OF the
week and will then go to ST. Louis
where he expects TO meet President
Taft. The captain of the Antilles
and part of the crew are still on
board the steamer, directing the eff
forts to pull her of the shoal. II Is

THE DRIFT FROM DEMOCRACY

Abraham Liucolu's yearly salary
was S2j,0OO. William II. Taft wants
this amount for travelling expenses
alone. Theodore Roosevelt made
greater professions of devotion to
the pcopl" than any preceding Pres
ld"nt-aud squeezed more out of
thom for his personal use! Is the
Roosevelt policy to be pursued
diligently Mt the White House in
this respect? Is the swing from Re
publican to autocratic political
methods, from the modest public
servant to the luxurious royal fam
lily notions, to be made permanent?
II so, no wonder the President in
sists upon new and 0diOus taxes in
order to raise revenues so AS to
spend money lavishly in luxury.
The present tendencies give any
party great opportunity which
would take up seriouly the economic
doctrines Of Jefferson, Webster and
Tilden, and apply them vigorously
to governmental administration and
expenditure.
The Rough Riding Presidential
theory Of bossing Congress, intimid-
ating the courts, and sporting an
Executive establishment like that
of royal palace is n reversal Of the
great democratic principles for which
the Revolutionary War was fought
| and won.
Since the modest Mckinley was
murdered, the drift from democracy
with its inexpensive simpllcities,
toward autocracy, with its costly
Celebrations, has been as decided as
it is deplorable
Websterian vigilance is needed in
Congress to resist these aggressive
and persistent encroachments upon
the constitutional safeguards of the

In signed letter To the Philu.
drPhia l"daar Mr.. J. Leonard
kabIc Of York, Pa, states that since

Wooden Co.--thc greedy Trust which
could not wait for the passage of
the new Tariff bill, but Immediately
after the fixing OF the wool and
wooden schedules 10y the Senate sent
out circulars to the trade aunounc-
ing an increase of - per cent. in
prices, to take effect next spring
iobbcrs are required, in selling to
the trade, to maintain certain prices,
at the penalty of having the line of
goods withdrawn. This is one of
the favoritc methods of Trusts to
maintain high prices for their goods,
and dealers must comply with or
ders or he denied the privilege of
get ting the goods 10 sell.
Mr.. kable also says; Again, If
goods were better or even as good
as they were, say but five years ago,
the increased prices might he con
dOued, but we who cut up cloth six
days in the week are face to face
with the fact that wooden fabrics
We're never so poor in quality rs

better hut the good themselves are
far inferior.
And so IL will be seen that 1.-THE
new Tariff bill, with its wool and
wooden goods schedules drawn to
suit the WOODEN Trust, will doubly
tax the consumer. 1t will compel

by this one Trust for next years

The Commercial will have to apollo
gize to many of its old-time patrons
and friends for the manner in which
some of them have been treated by one
collection agency known as the United
States Adiusters at Washington, D. c.
The Commercial made a contract with
this company with their duly accredited
agent. That agent, whose. name we
have. agreed to no underhand and
questionable methods in the adjusting
of accounts furnished them. The very
first step taken, however, was the selling
of the list by this agent to another col
lection agency at Paris, H., and then
began a cross-fire demand upon the de-
linouents, one calling for settlement
after payment had been made by the
delinquent to the other company, thus
adding insult to injury The Washing
