WOMEN WANT LEGISLATION.

San Antonio, Texas, Feb. S.-With-
in the next few days a joint meeting
of all the the women clubs and wo-
mems societies in the city will be
called for the purpose of considering
matters that are pending in the state
legislature, in which the interests of
women and children are concerned
The bill before the house to make the
age of consent coordinate with the
legal age of marriage is receiving at
tention At a recent meeting of the
Woman's Club, Miss Marian B. Fen
wick led a discussion of this subject
in which it developed that the concen-
sus of opinion was that no girl should
be left without legal protection before
the age when she has right to give
her hand in marriage. The women
are now working to have representa-
ton on the school board, and are
making a campaign to have one or
more of their sex placed on the board
at the coming election, which viii be

are asking for good roads. Everywhere,
too. they want parcels post and the
extension of the rural free delivery.
The commission has purposely
avoided endorsing any particular bill
now before congress. no matter what
its value or object. In the opinion of
the commission, however, there are
two or three movements of the ut
most consequence that should be set
underway at the earliest possible
time because they are fundamental to
the whole problem of permanent re-
construction. There should be or
ganized under government leadership
a comprehensive plan for an exhaus-
tive study or survey of all the condi-
tions that surround the business of
farming and the people who live in
the country, in order to supply the
farmer with knowledge.
Each state college of agriculture
should organize as soon as practical
Bile, complete department of col
lege extension Local, state and
even national conference on rural
progress, designed to unite the in
terests of education, organization
and religion, should be held
There is need for young people of
quality, energy, capacity, aspiration,
and conviction, who will live in the
open country as permanent residents
on farms or as teachers, or in other
useful fields, and who, while develop
ing their own business or affairs to
the greatest perfection, will still have
unselfish interest in the welfare of
their communities. The farming
country is by no means devoid of
leaders and is not lost Or incapable
of helping itself, but it has been re-
latively overlooked by persons who
are seeking great fields of usefulness.
1t will be well for us as a people if
we recognize the opportunity for use
fitness in the open country and con-
slider that there is a call for service.
The suggestions of the commits
sion only outline a general plan
whereby the strong resident forces
in the open country may themselves
build up new and better rural So
cial structure.

PIERRE, s. D., Sept. 1-(Special Tele-
gram 1.-The application of Attorney Egan
for reinstatement to the bar of the state
came up before the supreme court today
and after hearing arguments the court
took a recess until Friday next.
Egan presented his petition and spoke
for over on hour, in which he recIted the
history of his life and the details of the
OGrady case, on which his disbarrment
was founded, and declared that what he de-
sired was to get before the court matters
In relations to that case which he could
not get into the record on a hearing. In
his closing he admitted that he might
have committed an indiscretion in attack
ing members of the court through his
paper. but justified himself on the grounds
Of the persecution aud annoyance to which
ne had been put by the press and members
of the Minnehaha county bar.
Park Davis, for the Mlnnehaha County
Bar association, took the position that
there has been no change in the record on
which the dsbarment proceedings were
based and that Bgan in his plea to the
cout as an individual, and in his denial OF
any wrong having been done by him,
showed in Itself that he is not fit MEM
ber of the bar. They filed copies of his
paper attacking the court as a part Of
their record The committee appointed by
the State Bar association took no part in
the case beyond listening to the argu-
ments.

SEARCH FOR BANK ROBBERS
Country in Vicinity of Mineola Has
Been Thoroughly Secured.
SLIGHT CLUE FROM CARSON
Report Two Suspicious Characters
Have Been Seen Near There is
Being Investigated by
n Posse.

The pursuit Of the men who robbed the
Mills County German bank at Mineola, Ia,
Tuesday afternoon still continues.
The eoimtry' has been thoroughly searched
In every direction and every clue which
promises even a remote chance Of locating
the men is being promptly run down.
Last night a posse went to Carson, Ia,
on a report that two suspicious characters
had been seen around there and an effort
is being made to find them and determine
whether or not they could have had any
connection with the robbery.
At Mineola everything is quiet after the
excitement Of the last two days. The men
who are after the robbers are now work
ing many miles from the town and little
is being heard from them. although there
is a constant expectation of favorable
news.
The search for the men is kept up by
men on horseback, in buggies and in auto
mobiles, a number of the latter being
pressed into service Tuesday afternoon.
The telephone is also being used and every
one within many miles of Mineola has been
advised to be on the lookout for suspicious
characters.
Carson is east of Mineoa about twenty
miles and 1t is thought that il the robbers
have been unable to secure horses and are
making their way on foot that they would
have had time to go about that far on their
way out OF the country.
