attend him. His sufierings covered
a period of several weeks and on
July oath death came to his relief.
The news of the assault upon Con-
stable Conger soon spread over the
entire community and the search
that was instituted for the negro
was one of the most sensational that
has taken place in this part of the
state for several years. The friends
of the wounded man were aroused
to a high state of feeling and had
the negro been captured that day,
or within the next few days, there is
no doubt as to the punishment that
he would have received. The search
ing party did not hesitate to say that
Golden would be lynched if caught
Sheriff Forbes, Constable McCalpin
and their deputies were soon on the
tive. Officers from Dallas and Fort
Worth joined in the man hunt, and
the bloodhouLds of Sheriff Ledbet-
ter of Dallas were called into requi-
sition. Golden managed to elude his
ipursuers and spent the night in Trim
ity river bottom. Late Sunday after

ing the farmer went to the home of
neighbor and telephoned the Off
GERS at Dallas. The dogs were taken
out and placed on the trail of this
negro. The trail was followed to a
trestle on the Texas and Pacific near
Eagle Ford, where it was completely
Host. 1t has since been learned that
the trail was that of Golden and that
! he threw the dogs off his tracks by
running over a skunk. Although the
entire country was thoroughly
iscoured Golden was never heard OF
again until he turned up in Louisi-
ana last spring. The hunt that was
resumed for him at his old home by
Constable McCalpin was continued
until his arrest was effected in Ok
! lahoma Monday morning.
The news of the arrest of Golden
soon reached the friends of the dead
officer in the Henry community, and
information has been received from
there that threats of lynching the ne
gro have been revived. 1t is not
known when the officers will arrive
here with their prisoner, but they
will probably get in tonight on the
Katy Flyer. If, however, the talk OF
lynching the ngro assumes any def
mite shape and if Sheriff Forbes car

place the prisoner in jail either a

subsequent to the assault upon Con

1. Because 1t Is fair and right that
those who must obey the laws should
have a voice in making them, and that
those who must pay taxes should have
a vote as to the size of the tax and the
way it shall be spent.
Q. Because the moral, educatlonal anu
humane legislation desired by women
would be got more easily if women had
votes New York women have worked
in vain for years to secure a leglsla-
tive appropriation to found State IN
dustrial School for Girls. Colorado
women worked in vain for one till they
got the ballot; then the legislature
promptly granted it.
3, Because laws unjust to women
would be amended more quickly. II
cost Massachusetts, women hfty-hVe
years of effort to secure the law MAX
ing mothers equal guardians of their
children with the fathers. In COLORADO,
after women were enfranchised, the
very next legislature granted it. After
more than half century of agitation
bv women for this reform only thirteen
out of forty-six states now give equal
guardianship to mothers.
4. Because disfranchisement helps 70
keep wages down. Hon. Carroll u.
Wright, national commissioner OF Ia
Dor, said in an address delivered at
smith college on February 22 l9O2:
"The lack of direct political influence
constitutes a powerful reason why
womens wages have been kept at a
minimum"
4. Because equal suffrage would in
crease the proportion of educated
voters. The high schools of every state
in the Union are graduating more girls
than boys-often twice or three times
as many. (Report of commissioner OF
education) -, .
G Because 1t would increase the pro-
rortion of native-born voters. In three
wears from June 80, 1900, to June 80,
| 1909. there landed in the United states
1 .344 622 foreign men, and only DOL i4o
| foreign women. (Report of commits
stone. general of immigration.)
| Z Because it would increase the NOR
al and Ia'w-abiding vote very much'
| while increasing the vicious and crlrn-
inal vote very little. The United states
census of 1890 gives the statistics of
men and women in the state prisons
1 of the different states Om1ttlng 1rac-
tions, they are as follows:

Good AdUice for the Woman Who is Sensitive

The time you missed the train, for in
stance, and almost had a serious quar-
rel with your husband-what a big
matter that seemed then! How trifiing
now Suppose you had met 1t with
philosophy, with smile, with the sure
knowledge that there were other trains
and the sun would rise on another day?
What a stew you got into, what
tears you wept, what dead sea fruit
seemed all your plans, when the dress
maker spoiled your gown and you
couldn't match the material to get
more! How little does it amount to
now! You smile to think what
frenzy you were in. Why not have
smiled then, instead of going to bed
with a sick headache?
1t is worth while to have simple,
plain armor of philosophy, against the
pin-pricks of life. If you haven't any,
begin to fashion 1t this week. II you
have completed ever so small piece,
put 1t to use If your new hat DOESN'T
arrive when you expect 1t, If small
daughter breaks your prettiest piece
of cut glass, If the caterer sends plaln'
everyday vanilla ice cream when you
particularly ordered fresh strawberry
ice. They are aggravations. it Is true,
but let them bear harmlessly against
your arTnor of philosophy.

Mexico and Tennessee, 6; in Georgia,

Oregon and Wisconsin, two-f1fths of 1
per cent; in Wyoming and Idaho, none.
8. Because it leads to fair treatme,,
OF women in the public service Tn
massachusetts, the average pay Of q
female teacher is about one-third that
OF male teacher, and in almost all
OF the states it is unequal. In Wyom-
ing and Utah the law provides that
they shall receive equal pay for eouai
work. (ReVised statutes of wyoming.
section 614; revised statutes of Utah.
section 1889 ''
3. Because legislation for the protec-
ton of children would be secured more
easily. Judge Lindsey of the Denver
Juvenile court writes in Progress for
July, 1904 I'VE have in Colorado the
most advanced laws of any state in
the Union for the care and protection
of the home and the children. These
laws, in my opinion, would not exist
at this time If it were not for the pow
erful influence of woman suffrage"
10. Because it is the quietest, easiest,
most dignified and least conspicuous
way of influencing public affairs. 1t
takes much less expenditure of time,
labor and personal presence to go up
to the ballot box, drop in a slip of pa
per and come away than to persuade a
multitude of miscellaneous voters to
vote right.
IL. Because it would make women
more broad-minded. Professor Edward
H. Griggs says: 1.-THE ballot is an edu-
Gator, and women will become more
practical and more wise in using it,
IL. Because woman's ballot would

TT PAYS in this rapid, rushing,
thoughtless world to be something
Il of a philosopher. General Pick
wick says philosophers are only men
in armor, after all"
That may be, but If you can get an
armor that will fit we'll, that isn't Sc
cured at too great a sacrifice, whether
it comes ready-made or is fashioned
laboriously and painstaking by ones
self, it is a good investment.
Women particularly need the armor
of philosophy, especially in business
life The sensitive girl is continually
receiving pin pricks or deeper wounds
that fill her days with gloom, says
Aunt Martha in the Philadelphia Tele-
graph The overconscientious woman
let's trifles lay her low. A bit of
philosophy in their makeup would help
each most wonderfully to keep life
bright.
The girl who broods over some trif-
ling slight, either fancied or real, un-
til all her days are gray, would be
happier and more normal if she would
dismiss the whole affair with shrug
and the thought, "In year it will all
be forgotten and Nan and 1 will be
as good friends as ever"

NEATNESS

There is no more pronounced mark
of lady than scrupulous neatness.
This does not mean cleanliness, for 1t
is taken for granted that every girl Is
clean, but an added touch Wnlch comes
from innate refinement.
1t is an astonishing fact that neat
ness in details of dressing is a rarity.
There may be holes or tears, but pin
taking the place of a stitch Will de-
stroy every atom of smartness and
make the wearer appear slovenly.
Persons who are obliged to count the
cost of living closely know that perfect
cleanliness, in the extreme sense of the
word, is an expensive luxury. Either
money or time must be consumed in
achieving it, and the pursuit is end
less. No sooner Is some article of
wearing apparel in condition than an
other requires attention, or else the
first needs renovating at the end of
the day. When laundry bills are con-
sidered it is only by washing many
little pieces that girl can keep her
accessories in condition, and, as many
can tell, 1t cannot be counted diver
sion to stop to wash a necktie when
one is tired and wants sleep.
Even so, a scrupulously fresh tie is
to be regarded as important, not as
trivial. Let a girl who goes down town
observe those among whom she is as
sociated and see how infinitely better
the one looks whose neclowear is i'm
maculate, which is true of her hands.
1t is not enough that they shall be
merely mot dirty" Should she be will
ing to take the trouble she can keep
them white, even though working with
carbons or typewriters. 1t takes time,
of course, and work. but it can be
done, and that she instinctively makes
the effort to achieve this shows a girl
to have the highest kind of refine
ment

SOME REASONS WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE

make II harder for notoriously bad
candidates to be nominated or elected.
In the equal suffrage states both par
ties have to put up men of respectable
character or lose the women's votes.
10. Because it would increase wom-
ems influence. Mrs. Mary c. c. Brad
ford. president of the Colorado State
Federation of Women's Clubs, said at
the national suffrage convention in
Washington in February, 1904:
Instead of women's influence being
lessened by the ballot, it is greatly in
creased. Last year there were SO
many members of the legislature with
bills that they wanted the club women
to indorse that the social science de-
partment of the state federation had
to sit one day each week to confer
with these legislators who were seek
ing our Endorsement. Club women out
side the suffrage states do not have
| this experience"
IA. Because it would help those wom-
en- who need help most. Theodore
Roosevelt recommended woman sur
frage in his message to the New York
| legislature On being asked why, he
| is reported TO have answered that
many women have a very hard time,
working women especially, and If the
ballot would help them, even a little,
| he was willing to see 1T tried. Mrs.
Maud Nathan, president of the Ma
tional Consumers league, said in tan
address at the national suffrage con-
vention in Washington in February,
1904: my experience in investigating
the condition of women wage earners
warrants the assertion that some OF
the evils from which they suffer would
not exist if women had the ballot.
In the states where women
vote there is far better enforcement
of the laws which protect working
girls"
Is. Because it is maxim in war, AL
ways do the thing to which your ad-
versary particularly objects" Every
vicious interest in the country would
rather continue to contend with wom-
ans indirect influence than try to cope
with woman's vote.
16. Because experience has proved it
to be good. Women have for years
been voting, literally by hundreds Of
thousands, in England, Scotland, Ire
land Australia, New Zealand, Canada,
Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Utah and
Idaho. In all these places put together
the opponents have not yet found a
dozen respectable men who assert over
| their own names and addresses that
the results have been bad, while scores
of prominent men and women testify
that it has done good. An ounce of
fact is worth a ton of theory. .AAlice

Humanity's favorite trick
Whatever you say and whatever you do
Somebody is going to kick
When Caesar set out for liberal sway,
His own friends attacked him, shown in

And the best of intentions but prove to this

That somebody's going to kick.
If you journey in solitude up to the pole
And plow through the icices thick,
You discover when homeward proudly you

That somebody's going to kick.
If you're poor you're unhappy as friends stray

Whoever, whatever, wherever you are,
Somebody's going to kick.
